and  Connecticut.  The  cost  of  a  druggist's  liquor  license  in  Con- 
necticut is  $50,  in  Massachusetts  the  cost  is  merely  nominal,  $3.50 
being  the  figure,  while  in  New  York  State  the  cost  of  a  storekeep- 
er's license  varies  according  to  the  locality,  $200  being  charged  in 
Manhattan,  $100  in  Brooklyn,  and  correspondingly  less  in  the 
smaller  cities  and  villages.  It  appears  that  liquors  cannot  be  dis- 
pensed on  prescription  in  Connecticut  unless  the  druggist  holds  a 
liquor  license  costing  him  $50.  A  license  entitling  druggists  in  the 
State  of  New  York  to  dispense  whiskey  and  similar  alcoholic  bev- 
erages on  prescription,  the  same  being  an  ingredient  of  a  mixture 
of  other  substances,  costs  but  $5  uniformly  throughout  the  State. 
The  question  of  the  constitutionality  of  the  State  exacting  a  liquor 
license  tax  on  prescriptions  was  discussed  and  some  difference  of 
opinion  was  expressed.  On  motion,  the  Chairman  of  the  Committee 
on  Legislation  was  empowered  to  represent  the  Association  at  the 
sessions  of  the  Legislature  and  employ  counsel  in  his  discretion. 
Chas.  W.  Whittlesey,  of  New  Haven,  addressed  the  members  by 
request  of  President  E.  C.  Frisbie,  of  the  National  Wholesale  Drug- 
gists' Association,  as  a  delegate  from  that  body,  and  expressed  con- 
siderable satisfaction  at  the  agreement  which  had  been  reached  be- 
tween the  three  branches  of  the  trade  in  regard  to  the  distribution 
and  sale  of  proprietary  medicines. 
The  NA.R.D.  was  endorsed,  and  John  K.  Williams  read  two 
papers,  one  on  "  Soda  Water  Syrups  and  their  Serving  "  and  the 
other  "  Notes  on  Every-day  Pharmacy." 
The  following  officers  were  elected :  President,  Charles  S.  Finch, 
Stamford;  First  Vice-President,  Charles  Fleischner,  New  Haven; 
Second  Vice-President,  Nathaniel  K.  Morgan,  Hartford;  Secretary, 
Charles  A.  Rapelye,  Hartford  ;  Treasurer,  John  B.  Ebbs,  Water- 
bury. — Anier.  Drug.,  1900,  p.  411.
