hold examinations just as medical
and dental boards do now, to pass
upon the applications of persons
who desire to be veterinarians.
This bill bobbed up regularly at
previous sessions of the legislature,
but has hitherto been as regularly
killed. This year, however, it be-
came law Will very little object
ion and II fact there was less fight
over the measure than the veterin-
arians themselves expected. All
persons now practicing veterinary
surgery in the state are permitted
to obtain licenses under the terms
