Pursuant to call of the Chairman, DR..

July 26, 1907, at 2 o'clock p. M, and was
called to order and the object of the meet
ing set forth in a few remarks by the
Chairman. Itdeveloped that the borough
and seven of the eight townships of the
county were represented. The meeting
was organized by the election of A. G.

King as secretary. A draft of the new
rules was submitted by DR.. Dunn, and
after thorough discussion of the same
and the adoption of some important addi-
tions and amendments the entire set OF
rules was adopted section by section, the
votes in each case being unanimously in
the affirmative. Upon the completion of
this work the committee proceeded to the
election of a chairman for the ensuing

The new rules adopted seem to cover
the ground completely, and it is believed
