SOCIETY MEETINGS.

It was hoped that the Humane Society would push this matter of glanders 
legislation and have a suitable law enacted giving them full control in such cases. 
< Mr * Thra11 said it was utterly impossible for the Society to handle the matter, 
as it would necessitate'the appointment of a special officer and greatly increase 
their expenses, which rightfully belong to the State ; but he promised to give us 
all the support that lay in his power in bringing about a suitable legislative 
enactment. 
n 
It was voted that the meeting adjourn to the 20th day of March, and be held 
in the same rooms, at 7:30 in the evening. 
The adjourned meeting was held at the time and place specified, and the 
following members responded to roll call : President E. A. McLellan, Messrs. 
Sturges, Gardner, Hyde, Bridges and Bland.

sulted in the appointment of a committee composed of Messrs. Gardner, Sullivan

glanders. Also to draft a suitable law to present for consideration at next 
meeting.
