PASADENA, Jan. 21.-The annual
meeting of the Pasadena Humane So
ciety was held this evening in the city
council chambers, and though the at
tendance was small the meeting was
enthusiastic and there was great ap-
plause at the reading of the annual re-
ports, showing that the society was in
very prosperous condition, had been
doing greater work than in any year of
its past history and had greater plans
along specific lines for the future work
than the strength of the society had
rendered possible in the past
The report OF President DR.. Il. S.
Conger of the society showed that the
summary of the complete work up to
December 81, 1906, was clearly the most
flattering and evidenced a growing
popularity which the humane society
was rapidly assuming.
DR.. Conger advocated the installa-
tion of horse ambulance, citing sew
eral recent cases where animals had
been stricken either by disease or ac-
cident on the streets and in one or
two of the cases treatment was neces-
sary which was unfit to become pub
lie spectacle. There were no means of
removing the animal, howevergand the
treatment was administered in full
view of passersby. In one or two cited
uedIIS OI HORSES were
ed because an ambulance was unavail-
able.
President Conger praised the officers
and directors of the association for
their efficient service and further
stated that the cooperation of all Of
ficers had been largely responsible for
the efficiency of the service.
Secretary N. Scott Way reported
that during the year just closed 61O
| tN,x, 1rvtr, n,,s.n Il,
seventy-one humans, have been inves-
tigated. Some were among the most
brutal yet coming before the meeting.
Two hundred tnd twenty animals were
examined, 81 relieved, 81 suspended from
labor and 151 destroyed. There were SO
warnings, 30 prosecutions, 25 convic-
tions and two acquittals. Fines were
collected to the amount of STA.
At the close of the year the society
had a record of three patron members,
"a life members, 12 honorary, 2 asso-
ciate, 81 contributing and LAG annual
members.
The report of Auditor H. e. Banks
included the following statement:
Assets and liabilities December 81,
1906:
Cash on hand .................$ 2S6.71
Receivable amounts in dues and
tax .................. 9O5.oV
Total ......-.......... .$ll9l.il
The treasurer's report showed a ball
ance of $2S6.71 in the treasury.
Humane officer McAney made a
strong plea for an ambulance.
'It is my experience that there is
absolutely no way to avoid the final
securing of an ambulance If we wish tc
properly conduct the work of parties
DR.. De Biron seconded the talk OF
officer McAney, and modes Of obtain
| ing the ambulance were under imme-
date discussion after DR.. De Biror
made the statement that the majority
of young horses injured in street acci-
dents died owing to i'll treatment re-
ceived in absence of all facilities for
humanely handling each case.
The election of officers resulted in the
naming of the following officiary for
the ensuing year:

and treasurer, Miss Nina Veeder; vice
