AMERICAN  PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSOCIATION.  413 
An  election  being  ordered,  Messrs.  Shinn  and  E.  C.  Jones, 
acting  as  tellers,  reported  the  unanimous  election  of  the  candi- 
dates. 
A  communication  was  received  from  John  L.  Hunnewell, 
which  was  read  and  directed  to  be  placed  on  file. 
Prof.  J.  F.  Moore,  of  Baltimore,  read  the  Treasurer's  Report, 
which  was  accepted  and  referred  to  an  Auditing  Committee,  con- 
sisting of  Messrs.  Stearns,  Moore  and  Haviland. 
[We  have  not  space  for  this  report.  It  is  sufficient  to  say 
that,  through  the  energy  of  the  Treasurer,  his  report  shows  the 
Association  to  be  out  of  debt,  with  a  balance  of  $326.11 ;  the 
receipts  being  $1823.71,  and  the  disbursements  $1497.60.  The 
Treasurer  declines  further  service,  and  recommends  that  in  future 
the  travelling  expenses  of  this  officer  be  paid  by  the  Association.] 
Prof.  Parrish  called  attention  to  the  remark  in  the  Treasurer's 
report  regarding  the  expense  attending  the  office,  and  moved 
that  the  Auditing  Committee  should  consider  that  subject,  and 
report  on  it,  to  see  if  anything  could  be  done.  The  motion  was 
carried,  and  the  Committee  so  instructed. 
The  Committee  on  the  Certificate  of  Membership  presented 
a  report. 
This  Committee,  consisting  of  A.  B.  Taylor,  E.  T.  Ellis,  and 
J.  T.  Shinn,  reported  that  they  had  agreed  upon  a  form  of 
words,  and  the  style  in  which  to  execute  them.  They  applied  to 
the  American  Bank  Note  Company  to  get  an  estimate  of  the 
cost  of  engraving  on  copper  or  steel,  but  the  artists  of  the  Com- 
pany were  all  so  entirely  engaged  as  to  prevent  their  under- 
taking it.  Application  was  then  made  to  a  lithographer,  who 
agreed  to  do  the  work,  but  failed  to  perform  his  promise ;  so  the 
Committee  concluded  to  exhibit  their  design  to  the  Association, 
and  get  its  final  directions,  as  the  Bank- Note  Company  will  now 
undertake  it  for  $150. 
On  motion  of  Dr.  Squibb,  the  report  was  accepted  and  the 
present  Committee  continued,  with  the  instruction  to  carry  out 
the  suggestion  of  the  report  by  procuring  a  steel  plate,  executed 
in  the  best  style,  according  to  the  general  character  of  the  de- 
sign submitted.
