Dr.. Hancker made reference To the adj

ed his sorrow that the incident should
have happened. In this connection he
said
AT the last meeting son January g.,
| Il was moved and seconded that the

the service OF n second physician and
pathologist. at a salary not exceeding
81, 500 per yenr. We sent an advertise
