ISSUED BY BOARD
New Body Makes An
nouncement of Results
in First Examination

A meeting of the state board of
architects was held on Tuesday and
Wednesday at the Gardner. in Far
go. all members being present.
The principal business OF the meet
ing was the completion Of the work
in connection with the examination
OF candidates for license to practice
architecture in the state OF North
Dakota, interrupted by the sudden
illness OF the president OF the board
Oct. %, which prevented further
progress Of the work at that time.
AS near as the board has been able
| to ascertain up to this date, there
are about thirty persons claiming to
be architects in this state. After a
careful and painstaking canvass Of
all these men, the board has decided
to issue licenses to the following APP
| pliCants:

Robert B. Stacy Judd, Minot.
| Bert d. Keck, Grand Forks.
Frederick w. Keith, Bismarck.
Carl A. Lovin, Bismarck.

| Joseph e. Rosatti, Fargo.
VIM. +. .Kurke, Fargo.
Ole A. Braseth, Fargo.
Andrew ]. O'Shea, Fargo.
Walter B. Hancock, Fargo.
George Hancock, Fargo.
This makes nineteen licensed archi-
| tects in the state, and one outside
the state.
The board has a list of about eight
/ others who have been practicing
more or less, but who, for various
reasons failed to come up for the
examination. They will be barred
/ from further practice under the law,
until such times as they may furnish
| sufficient evidence to the board 70
warrant licenses being issued to
them. or availing themselves of the
next regular examination of candi-
dates which will be held about the
end of April, 1918.
All architects residing outside the
state will now be required to take
out q license, before offering to do
| any architectural work within the
| state of North Dakota. Also, all
| lumber yards and mail order houses,
will be requested to do so.
The architect board pointed out
that the law has been in effect since
July l last. and that all architects
have had an opportunity Of qualify
ing under it. o.

have met with much success in the
treatment OF those diseases. People
who have suffered for years with
stomach trouble and have been un-
able to obtain any permanent relief,
have been completely cured by the
use OF these tablets. Chamberlain
Tablets are also of great value for
