LAW FOR ARCHITECTS
PROPOSED IN NEW YORK
State to Have Statute to Reg
uIate Registration in the
Profession.

The proposed law in New York state for
the registration of architects sets forth
the way in which an established architect
who has been in practice two years may
offer satisfactory evidence to the board of
examiners and be legally registered, says
the National Builder. Any one wishing
to enter the profession may show diplo-
ma of graduation from recognized arch
itectural school, together with at least
three years office experience, as satisfac-
tory evidence to the board of examiners
of his fitness to be registered as an archi-
tect Or he may show satisfactory high
school work as preliminary. and pass an
examination in such technical and profess
sional courses as are established by the
board of examiners, and in addition show
at least five years practical experience in
the office of reputable architect.
Any citizen of the United States may
apply for registration. or any person over
twenty-one years of age, who has duly de-
clared his intention of becoming such Citi-
zen.
Any person having certificate pursuant
to this article may be styled or known as
registered architect. No other -crson
shall assume such title or use the abbre-
viations r. A., or anything to indicate
that the person using same is registered
architect.
Every person applying for examination
or certificate of registration shall pay a
fee of $o5 In only seven Of the
United States are laws in effect licensing
architects The natural tendency of the
license law is to give the young architect
a stronger feeling Of responsibility to the
profession and to his clients.
The New York law, as we understand 1t,
does not prevent any one from making
working drawings acting as an archi-
tect 1t only makes 1t possible for the
prospective client to ascertain who are
properly prepared to do architectural
work. The owner may employ man
who is not registered as an architect. If
the building fails or the work is not salts
ractory the profession does not bear the
blame If the building Is unsightly, the
long suffering public must bear with it or
take measures for its Own protection.
