HEARING GRANTED.
Master Painters and Decorators Discuss
Matter of Contractors Licenses.

Representatives of the Master Painters
and Decorators Association of the District
were granted a hearing late yesterday
afternoon by the District Commissioners on
the matter of the application Of the law
relating to the payment of contractors
licenses by the painters Of the District
The committee of painters consisted OF
Thomas A. Brown. w. q. Andrews and A..
H. McGann.
The committee stated that at the present
time forty-four Of the painters pay
license fee, while more than a hundred
others pay no license at all. 1t was ex-
planned by the Commissioners that this
condition Is due to the fact that some of
the painters are classed under the head OF
contractors The committee argued that
painters. as a rule, are subconstractors
and under that head are not required to
pay for licenses. The painters further
complained that the department stores have
invaded the field of the contract painter
and pay no license for it.
At the close Of the hearing the Commits
sioners stated that they would inquire def
nitely into the question as to what painters
should be required to pay fee as con-
tractors, and also with regard to the ques-
ton Of department stores acting con-
tractors.
