      every registered aaslrtant barber, who oontInu66

    shall be Issued by the Board of Barber Examiners,
    upon the payment of e renewal feo of Tvo Dollar6
    an4 Fifty Cent6 ($2.60). Every certlfloate of
    registrationwhich has not been renewed prior
    to that date shall exulrt on the 1st day OS
    lorember of that year. A registered barber or
    a registeredassistant barber, whose oertlfloate
    of registration hae expired, may, within thirty
    (SO) 4ays thereafter, an4 not later, have his
    oertlfloate of registrationrestore4 upon mak-
    Lng a satlsfaotoryshoving to the Board, sup-
    ported by his personal affidarit,whloh, in the
    opinion of the Board, will exotasethe applloant
    for having failed to renew hi6 oertlfiaate vlth-
    In the tine mouired by this Aot. Any registered
    barber who retires from the practloe of barbering
    for not more than ilre (5) years may renew his
    oertlfioate of registration by making proper
    shoving to the Board, supported by hIo personal
    affI4avIt,which In the opinion of ths Boar4
    would Justify the Boar4 in Iesulng a oertifloate

         The fact6 given In your request show that the lpplloant
has ma46 a substa.ntialeffort to oomply with the law governing
the restoration of an expired oertlfioatewithin the thirty day
per104 provided In the Statute an4 but for some mere Irregularity
he would have ooeplle4 fully with the provialonr thereof an4 vith-
in the time limit therein oontalned. Under three faotr, and oon-
sidering the provislone of Seotlon 20, as quoted above, of Artiolr
734-a of the Penal Code, an4 the other provision6 of the Texas
Barber Law, It Is our opinion that where the Boar4 restores on
expired certificateof a registered or a registered a6616tant
barber vho,oontInuesIn the aotlvr praotlao or service, the proper
fee to be charged the ap lloant by the Board i6 the SUP of Two
