Cities Have No Power to Issue
Licenses and Collect Fees,
Ruling Says

ectricians doing business in
North Dakota are required to take
the state examination and pay the
state fee regardless of any prev!-
sions in ordinances passed by

business. the attorney generals

The attorney general held that

control over electricians applies

be given by the licensce to cover
his liability to 'sota tho state and

s,lnlc chapter in section 6 provides
for inspection by an inspector to
be appointed by the local munich
pality. The prOviso at tho end Of
the second paragraph in section
four refers only to cities requir-
ing bonds and says nothing about
cities having regulations for liccns-
ing electricians.
Cities Cannot Require Fec
"The city attorney refers to sec

North Dakota for the year 1913. l
have searched this section and fail
to find any express power granting
to cities the right to license e.ec-
tricians. Chapter 123 Of the SEES
sion laws of 1919 provides for
state board with express power to
license. 1t is my opinion that the
power there given Is exclusive and
that the cities have no power to
license electricians nor to require
a fee for a municipal license"

Committee Hears
Objections to
the Caraway Bill

Washington. Jan. 25.--LR --Opposi-
tion to tho Caraway bill, which would
prohibit trading in cotton and grain
futures, was heard today by the
senate agriculture committee.
Charles De u. Claiborne, vice pre-
sidcnt of the Whitney Central Bank
OF New Orleans, said enactment of
the measure would compel banks to
withdraw credits from the cotton
trade as cotton would become an un-
sound security and that the commo-
dity would drop from four to five
cents pound within less than a
month.
w. J. Nealc. a Waco. Texas, spot
cotton dealer, declared the bill would
materially contract the breadth of
cotton trading which would reach to
the harm of the farmers.

Memorial Bridge Granite.

An important event in the matter OF
the Arlington Memorial Bridge was
the letting Of contracts for furnishing
the granite with which the piers will
be faced and which will be used for
arches, baiustrades and copings. The
cost of the granite will be about
81, 900 900, and its delivery Is to be
complete In three years. About a
month ago work of building the abut-
ments and piers was begun. 1t Is
noteworthy that the contracts for the
granite were signed at full meeting
Of the Memorial Bridge Commission In
the cabinet room Of the White House,
with President Coolidge - Chairman.
