News notes from Engineering Council

At the regular meeting of Engineering Council June 20, a special report by the Public Affairs Committee on the Licensing of Engineers, was debated at length. It was decided to create a small Special Committee, with very carefully selected membership, to study this important question thoroughly with a country-wide view. It is intended that through the work of this committee, Engineering Council shall in due time be prepared to advise engineering organizations in any of the states upon this much discussed matter. Engineers who have knowledge of proposed legislation are requested to communicate with the Secretary of Engineering Council at 29 West 39th St., New York. Information or rumor has already been received of possible action by the Legislatures of Iowa, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan. As is well known, a few states have passed laws.
