Der Of the undertakers and embalmers
believe would be a benefit to their
profession and a protection to the pub

The District of Columbia is the only

bill, which does not have an embalm-
ers' licensing law. In the District any
one who has the requisite license fee
IF s25 can practice embalming by OBJ
tanning the approval of the health of
fee. This has led to many abuses and
in some cases the public probably has
been victimized. We want to bring

a law to do So

Instance Is Cited.

Mr. Zurhorst said he had once known
of a man being allowed to embalm
body whose only previous qualification
had been that he had driven carriages
couple of times for funeral di-
rectors. He said, also, that the health
office is now trying to work out a plan
by which enbalming here will be reg
ulated by the District Commissioners
without the necessity Of having law
passed, but he and other undertakers
expressed their disapproval of con-
trolling the practices complained of
by Commissioners order. such as
police regulation He said such reg
ulation would merely be a way Of con-
troll by the health Office, as at present.
whereas the undertakers want their
staths and the protection of the pub
lie to be defined by law. 1t was An
nounced that the Chamber Of Com
merce, the Board of Trade and other
organizations in the District will be
appealed to for aid in having the law
passed.
