There is no obligations for the Minis
ter of the Interior to grant any charter
of incorporation that may be asked for.
For though Section POPS of the Civil
Laws says THE Minister of the Inter-
ior...... shall grant to all applicants
who shall file petition, etc." yet Section
2O29 says mo Charter of Incorporation
shall be granted by said Minister of the
Interior without the consent of a ma
jority of the Cabinet"
A considerable number of people are
under the impression that the Minister
of the Interior has no choice in the
matter. He has no choice if the major
ity OF the Cabinet give consent, but the
Cabinet itself has a choice to either
consent or refuse.
