112 THE ANALYST, SOCIETY OF PUBLIC ANALYSTS. LETTER TO THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF LONDON. [COPY.] To the Corporation of the City of Londo.12. THE CITY ANALYSTSHIP. The Council of the Society of Public Analysts view with regret the terms offered by the Corporation of the City of London in respect of the appointment of City Analyst. These terms, in the opinion of the Council, are very inadequate, especially in regard to analyses of water, and, in view of the increasing responsibilities thrown upon Public Analysts, are not such as to allow of the work being conscientiously and at the same time remuneratively performed. The Council regret that a body SO important as the Corporation of the City of London, instead of giving a man of the highest standing a remuneration worthy of his position and attainments, should have encouraged a system of competition among professional chemists to secure a prominent position without regard to the adequate remuneration of their services. Your obedient servants, on. Secs. EDWARD BEVAN ALFEED C. CHAPMAN LONDON, April 10, 1901.
