 Gentlemen : ' • 
 
 We have again the pleasure of seudiug you priuted copies of jthe ques* 
 tions «iubmitted by us at our July exain|iuation to the candidates for the 
 study and practice of Land Surveying. ,'^ 
 
 We tl^iuk that a comparison with our Jtinuary examination questions 
 will prove that it is not sufficient Jbr the|;audidates to learn a certain num- 
 ber of ques^ns in the hope that they may be able to pass. But that they 
 must come fully prepared in all th«* subjects required by law. Our theore- 
 tical papers are still too elementary for the admission to practice and are yet 
 as difficult 'as the present condition of things will admit of, but we hojie 
 to be able to shew" a semi-annual, improvemeiit. 
 
 • 
 
 At this examination seven candidates presented themselves for practice 
 of which one only was found qualified. Aud.two for study, both of whii-h 
 lere reject«Hl by the Board. ^^ 
 
 Annexed to this rei>ort you will tii^d the Secretary's report and extract 
 from the minutes which may prove of interest to mem}>ers of the profession 
 who were not present at (yir meeting. »

 REPORT OF THE SECRJETARY-TREASURER. , 
 
 July Session, 1888. 
 t • , ^ 
 
 The Secretary-Treasurer to the Board of Management, at thn tlose of 
 the fiscal, year, 1882-3, has the honor to report. 
 
 w The moneys received have been deposited in the Caisse d'Economie, and 
 payments have been made by cheques on the Bank, as recommended bv the 
 Board. '- "^ 
 
 The Syndic has been supplied with a list of all the surveyors who have 
 paid the annual contribution up to date, so as to enable him to cifll on those 
 who have not yet paid, to pay without delay, and saVe the expense of leffal 
 process. It must be bonie in mii)d that the first years' expenses of the Board 
 will certainly be greater thun in the follwving years, from the unavoidable 
 outlay attendant on its inauguration and establishment. And ftitther, 
 if all the surveyors contribute the amount payable by each will be less than 
 when, as now, the expenses are borne by only a part. j ' 
 
 Your Secretary has to report that Mr. Gerald CroorgoDunlevie. availing 
 himself of the provisions of the Act. 40, Vic. c. xxxv., has signified by letter 
 his withdrawal from the profession of land surveying in this province 
 
 ( Your Secretary begs also to report that he has applied to the Secretary 
 \of the Province lor a 8«^f the Quebec Statutes, ahd for the regular recep- 
 tion of the O0naf Gazette, and to the Board of Works ior a double door;, 
 ^nd that these requests have been granted. He is also in hoi>es of obtaining 
 from the Geological Survey office their reports of exploration
