MAY HOLD EXAMINATION
 FOR STATE cHIRoPoDIsTs.
Questions on Law Passed at Last Session of Legislature.

The opinion which Attorney General George E. Hinman gave Thursday to Secretary M. s. Manden of the state board of examiners in chtropody is of special interest to those practicing chiropody throughout the state. The attorney general answers three Ques- tions on the law as passed at the last session of the general assembly. Sena- tor Bishop of Norwalk recently inter- viewed Governor Holcomb on the op- eration of the law as it applied to the granting of certificates, as he had a client who was aggrieved by the de- cision of the state board.
 The attorney general says that the board cannot issue a certificate to a person who was engaged in the prac- tice of chiropody before Jan. l, 1916, but who neglected to make application for certificate before Dec. 31, 1915. He says the board may hold an exam ination before next July, when a reg ular examination will be held; that the board is vested with the power of determining the educational qualifica- tions for certificates and that it was not within his province to determine the right of a person to the use of the title doctor or its synonym.

NEW DIVISION FOR
 NEW HAVEN ROAD.
Superintendent and Other Offices May Be Located at Union Station, New London.

It is understood that a new division of the New Haven road, to extend from New London to Auburn and Worcester, is soon to be created, and that the superintendent's and other of- fees are to be located in New London.
 Despite the lack of official informa- tion from New Haven, 1t is known in railroad circles that such a change is contemplated and that many of the arrangements in connection with 1t have been decided upon.
 c. T. Litchfleld, trainmaster of the Providence division, is mentioned for the office of superintendent of the new division.
 The location of the superintendent s office in New London would mean that several other offices would be estab- lished there, including those of the bridge supervisor. roadmaster, train master and crew despatcher- Offices will probably be established in the union station, where they were for merly located.
 New London was formerly the head quarters of the superintendent of the Shore Line division for many years. Eight years ago this month, however when the New Haven road began a policy of retrenchment, the offices of the superintendent, roadmaster, bridge supervisor and others were all removed to New Haven.
