interesting News Items, Briefly Con.
densed, From All Sections of the
State,
Harrisburg, Pa.—In an opinion ren-
dered to Dr. Francis B. Haas, state
superintendent of public Instruction,
Deputy Attorney General Willlam A.
Schnader rules on the status of pro-
fessional examining boards and de-
cides they must pay all fees to the
state treasury and get their expenses
out of the general appropriation to
the educational department for the
purpose.
For some time there has been a
question whether the state board for
registration of professional engineers
and land surveyors is a professional
board ;: how It should be financed and
what should be done with its special
fund accumulated through fees for reg
istrations. Mr, Schnader holds the
board is a professional examining
body, that its revenues must be pald
to the state treasury and that the spe
cial fund must go to the treasury up-
der the act of 1925. Its expenses come
out the appropriation to the de
partment. Special funds being
abolished.
