Of the several towns of the State ycster-

so with pleasure.
The meteorological institution is one, for
the support and expansion Of which the
State has appropriated a large sum Of
money, and | am glad to say, | believe
every penny has been proftably expended.
There is great merit in the institution,
and the State should feel proud Of it,
progress.
It is tho duty of all of us to become
well acquainted with the working of all
our state Institutions. and especially do
believe this to be true with reference t.
this one. There is 80 much involved iG a
proper understanding of the means of
preserving the health of those dependent
upon us. that full knowledge Of all the
available information on this subject be-
comes an imperative duty. There is no
place. in my judgment. where this duty
can he better performed than by attend
ing the meetings referred to.
do not know that there Is any law
authorizing you to make an appropriation
10 pay the expenses of any one 10 attend
the meeting referred to- There can. how
ever, be no mistake made in encouraging
the health officer, and any of the other
officers of yoIr town, as far as may be, to

subject, in the hope you will do what you
can to secure the attendance of some
