Legal Limit
for State Ex

But Attorney General Says They May
in Addition Draw Pay for Meal
Eaten on Way.
Secretary Frost of the department
of public welfare has received an!
opinion from the attorney general for.
his guidance in handling the expense!
accounts of ten examining boards'
whose members examine applicants
for licenses in the various professions
coining under the state licensure
law.
Section 22 of H. R. 551 passed by
the recent legislature in part reads:
"Each member of a boar dof exam
iners shall in addition to necessary
traveling and hotel expense not to
exceed $4 a day, receive a per diem."
Does hotel expense include both
meals and room or only the latter?
This question is answered by the at
torney general in this way:
"Allow me to say that in my opin
ion the phrase 'hotel expense' in
cludes both meals and room for the

time spent after examiner has reach
ed his destination, but it does not
necessarily include meals eaten in
travtling to and from the place where
the examination is held."
Under this decision examiners may
exceed $4 a day expense if the ex
cess is spent for meals taken while
traveling to or from the place of ex
amination. Examinations are held
by some state boards in Omaha and
Lincoln. Secretary Frost informed
the attorney general the phrase in
question was net in the bill as draft
ed by his department but was insert
ed by the legislature as an amend
ment, which he considered an unfor
tunate one. He said the matter has a
considerable financial significance tc
the rtate and to members of the var
ious examining boards. Experience
had shown, lie wrote, that $4 is a lit
tle small for meals and lodging in
Lincoln and Omaha, while $4 for
room alone is high.
The licensure law also provles that
each examining board shall send one
of their members to a national meet
ing of state examining boards "if
funds are available." Whether this
can be done under the legislature
form of appropriation for mainten
ance of the rtate examining bureav
and bcurd.i is a question not raised
by any or.e.

spectator at Mr. Henni's shop on the
morning after her arrival, as he cut
steak. She finds everything very dif

steaks off a quarter of beef.

several months and will then go to
