Licensing Boards
The licensing of members of various
trades and 'professions has come, in
recent years, to be a fruitful source
of legislation and a frequent subject
of litigation in this state. Most of
xne muror in legislative hall and
court chamber has involved the pro
priety and legal status of the licens
ing boards which control entrance into
many trades and professions. Just
last week the "Governor's bill" to put
a public member on each of these
bodies met its probable demise in the
penaxe oy tne inglorious device of be
ing lamea. JJ'our bills introduced
