SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
137 
Dr. Schaufler asked that this resolution be referred to a com¬ 
mittee of three, but as it was presented as a general resolution 
it was on motion adopted as the sense of the association, and 
that it be spread upon the minutes. 
Report of committee now in order, Dr. Kooker, Chairman 
of Committee on Legislation, reported as follows: 
To the President and Members of the Pennsylvania State Veteri¬ 
nary Medical Association: 
We beg to state that since the semi-annual meeting we 
have had no complaints of violation of the veterinary registry 
laws. The Keystone Association of this city appointed a com¬ 
mittee to visit the Prothonotary’s office and have the Veterinary 
Registry revised according to law, viz., have removals and 
deaths so recorded on the registry. We would advise the 
appointment, by the president of this association, of a member 
in each county to examine the registry and have it amended by 
noting the removals from the county, and also those who may 
be deceased. We would like to have the sense of this meeting 
on the passage of a law requiring all those having diplomas 
and contemplating practicing veterinary medicine and surgery 
in this state, be required to present the same before an examin¬ 
ing board, which shall entitle them to be examined by said 
board, and if the examination prove satisfactory, then said 
board will issue a certificate to that effect, which will entitle 
them to be registered. We would like this subject to be dis¬ 
cussed before this meeting that the Legislative Committee may 
know the wishes of this association in the matter of the bill as 
well as the passage of such a bill. In the event of this associ¬ 
ation agreeing with this committee, then the Legislative Com¬ 
mittee will have a bill drawn up according to their wishes and 
ready for presentation at the semi-annual meeting in September. 
We would also bring before the association the matter of 
the meat and milk supply, and urge the profession to assist in 
every legitimate manner the Board of Health in its passage 
of such a bill. It is the opinion of this committee that the
