President Morris. I will make a short report of Committee 
on Legislation, being a member of that committee. There 
has been a bill drafted, printed and copies sent to each mem¬ 
ber of this Society and also to some members of the profession 
whom we know to be qualified men. Dr. Morris then explained 
the texture of the bill and said it would be presented to the 
Legislature at this session. He hoped it would be introduced 
on evening of January 12, 1892. He said the bill had been 
thoroughly discussed at the meeting in New York August 
12, 1891, by all members present, including Professors Law and 
Liautard. He also said there was no need of a man to prac¬ 
tice as a farrier, if he wanted to be a veterinary surgeon, as 
there was every opportunity offered him to qualify by gradu¬ 
ating from a veterinary college.

on file. Motion seconded by Dr. Jno. A. Bell. Voted on, 
carried.
