Excerpt from The Sanitary News, Vol. 5: Healthy Homes and Healthy Living, a Semi-Monthly Journal of Sanitary Science; November 1-April 15, 1885 The president announced that the convention was ready for business, and introduced Dr. Spiegelhalter, of the local committee, who informed the members of what had been done for their entertainment. He stated that the railroads had been very liberal in granting passes, and that the committee had been very generously treated by the business men. The gas companies would furnish gas for the street illumination through the fixtures used for the state fair. Several clubs had thrown open their houses for the members. Dr. Charles Smart, surgeon in the United States army, read the report of the sub-committee on incorporation, stating that the association would be organized under the laws of the district of Columbia, which required that twelve members of the association should be residents of the dis triot. The name as incorporated would remain the same, and its objects should be the advancement of sanitary science and the promotion of measures of public hygiene. The officers of the association would be a president, a first vice-president, a second vice-president, a secretary, a treas urer, and an executive committee of six, which should have charge of all disbursements.
