THE EXAMINING BOARD.
MIR. Melville OF Salt Lake called the at
tenIion OF the association to that part of
the presidents address in which refer
ence was made to the examining board of
pharmacy appointed under the territorial
law passed at the last session of the legis-
lature. 1t was his opinion that the matter
should be taken out of the hands of the
governor and legislature and the power to
elect board be vested in the association.
The gentleman favored petitioning the
next legislature to that effect.
After some little discussion the matter
was laid over for future consideration.
THE sEcRETARY's REPORT.
Secretary Mccoy of Salt Lake sub
mitted mis- annual report, showing that
there are now enrolled on the books of the
association ninety members. The
receipts for the year have been $3.50 and
the disbursements S373.95, leaving a
balance in the treasury of $500.
The address of the president was subdi-
yided and the various features were re-
ferred to the proper committees.
Inasmuch as several of the committees
were not ready to report more time was
granted them.
A report showing the work perfor med
by the Utah board of pharmacy was read,
and in this connection a legal opinion
from Walter Murphy of Salt Lake on sew
eral points in the statute creating the
board, was submitted by DR.. Hurlbut OF
the board. In his opinion the legal gen
tieman says that the law as passed by the
legislature is perfectly constitutional, as
the Legislature thereby but exercises the
proper police protection over the people
of the territory, and that no person should
be allowed to practice pharmacy unless he
has passed an examination.
A number of communications and re-
ports were presented and referred to the
proper committees and the convention
adjourned to 80 o, clock.
THE AFTERNOON SESSION.
The convention reassembled at lao o.
m. About ten additional delegates were
present whose faces were absent during
the morning session.
The principal object of attention in the
afternoon was discussion of the merits
of the pharmacy act of 1892, which relates
TO registering the pharmacists who had
not had sufficient experience at the time
of the enactment of this act. Some of the
lenlent than the law. However, after
nearly every delegate had expressed him
self either pro or con, the convention de-
clded that it was the sense of this aSsocia-
ton that the board of examiners be re-
quired to register all persons who were
engaged in the drug business prior to or
at the time of the pharmacy act.
