| MCGOWAN again brought up the loc
fight of the doctors over the State
Board of Medical Examiners by intro
iducing bill providing for radical
law provides that the board shall
consist of five allopaths, two
homeepaths and two eclectics and
that six shall be quorum. Nc
Gowan's measure provides for a board
consisting of three members from each
of the schools named and that seven
shall be a quorum, so that the eclec-
tics shall have equal representation
and that business cannot be transact
ed without at least one of them being
present.
LICENSING OF DETECTIVES.
Licensing and controlling of detec-
tives was the object of another inter-
esting bill introduced by MCGOWAN
1t provides that no detective or agency
that advertises shall carry on busi-
ness until after payment of license
of 500 yearly to the State. Its aim is
to discourage the dozens of grafters
who are making a dubious living by
acting as private s1euths and cleanse
the business as far as possible. Reg
ular agencies need pay but 500 year
if the bill becomes law, this cover
ing all their employees. Any individual
who hangs out a sign or even hands
around printed cards will be compelled
to procure q license.
MCGOWAN also introduced the bill
raising the salaries of the San Fran
cisco Superior Judges to $4,000 a year
