CONTRACTORS REGISTRATION
ACT EXPLAINED BY REGISTRAR

! investigation viii be made and pro-
! Per remedial action will be taken.
Anyone operating as a contractor
or holding himself out to be a con-
tractor. or advertising as q contrac-
tor, or bidding on work as a con-
tractor without having q license
from the state so to do, is guilty
Of a miSdemeanor and subject to
both fine and Imprisonment. The
department maintains an efficient
corps Of inspectors throughout the
state to see to it that those who
hold themselves out to do contract
ing and who are representing to
the public that they are capable of
contracting, shall be licensed. and
in order to secure this license, they
must show the registrar of contrae-
tors that they have the responsible
ity and the capacity to engage in
that line Of work before they are
permitted to possess a state license.
The registrar of contractors has
the right, under this law, to sus-
pend or revoke a license of a con-
tractor in the state of California
for his failure to complete a Job
in other words, the abandonment
of a contract without legal excuse.
Job Abandonment Perilous
Should a contractor bid too low
upon job. and find after he has
started that he is unable to COM
plete It within his contract price,
and attempts to abandon that job.
he is subject to the restrictions
imposed upon him by law, and the
registrar will Immediately suspend
or cancel his license to do business
in the State Of California until he
makes good upon that particular
piece Of work.
Another ground which makes &
license subject to cancellation or
suspension is the diversion of
funds or property received for
prosecution or completion of a spe-
cific contract or for a specified
purpose il the prosecution of or
completion Of any contract and
their application or use for any
other contract, obligation or pur-
pose.
In the past it has been the policy
Of some contractors to take moneys
received from one particular piece
of work ard apply them upon the
prosecution of another Job that
they may have under contract. This
law, as amended, absolutely prohi-
bits that. The moneys received
upon a particular contract must be
used in the completion Of that con-
tract, in the payment for material
and for labor upon that job, and
for no other until the job is prop
erly completed and the material
men and laborers are paid.
Another great safeguard. not only
to the public but to the property
holder as well, IS that the license
may be suspended or revoked if
there is fraudulent departure
from or disregard of plans or spe-
cifications in any material respect
without consent Of the owner or
his duly authorized representative.
specifications Are Sustained
This IS also a safeguard for the
other contractors as well, inasmuch
as a contractor shall not bid too
low upon q lob. figuring that he

last night, when he totaled 434,
with games Of 1873, 165, 1856. Phil

Miners swept Standards.
Astor H. Clarke, Campbell

his only other ambition. Last
night he got his second 400" set,
a 413, in the Washington Gas

This set should give Clarke

Under the heading of Campus
Leaders" in The Diamondback, stu

Maryland, McClelland Dixon, son of
Mrs. Nina S. Dixon, of Oakland, is
given the title of one of the most
popular men on the campus.
The article follows:
"Darius McClelland Dixon, other
wise known as "Dickie", is one Of the
most popular men on our campu; ). He
seems to possess that knack of accom-
plishment whatever he sets out to do,
and it is to this quality that he owes
his rise in favor and popularity
among his fellow students.
"Dixon was born in Oakland, Md,
and received his education at the local
high school, gaining prominence as a
cheerleader, treasurer of the senior
class, and business manager of the
year book.
"In the fall of 1927 this son of the
Alleghenies matriculated at our Uni
versity, enrolled in the College of
Arts and Sciences. AS is usually the
case his freshman activities We're limi-

ones to gain his attention. With the
