MIEK INSPECTION. 
Whereas, Many of our States and municipalities have not yet 
adopted any law looking toward the inspection of dairies ; be it 
Resolved, That a system of thorough inspection of dairies as to 
their sanitary condition and surroundings be recommended, and that a 
system of the testing of cattle for tuberculosis be advised. 
MEAT INSPECTION. 
Whereas, In the matter of municipal meat inspection such a svs- 
tem as would be of any benefit to the public is not possible under the 
existing arrangement of many small slaughter houses ; be it 
Resolved, That this association recommends the establishment of 
one or two abattoirs in each city as indispensable to the rational pursu¬ 
ance of such a system under properly qualified veterinarians. 
THANKS.

Veterinary Medical Association is now closing its labors in the city of 
Omaha, where it has been so well entertained by the local committee,

to this committee for the very agreeable manner in which they have 
performed their duties. 
Whereas, This association is under great obligations to the 
Cudahy Packing Company for the provision of a room for the exhi¬ 
bition of specimens in the meat inspection service ; be it 
Resolved, That this association extend its sincere thanks for the 
courtesy shown.
