Massachusetts Restrictions
A RECENT amendment to the Massa­chusetts
C. P. A. law affecting
Chapter 93 of the General Laws, makes it
incumbent that all public accountants
practicing in Massachusetts shall be regis­tered
as such and shall receive a certificate
thereof. "No person not registered under
section thirty-seven shall designate or
hold himself out as a certified public ac­countant.
No partnership unless all of
its members are registered under section
thirty-seven, and no corporation, shall
use the words 'certified public accountant'
in describing the partnership or corpora­tion
or the business thereof."
By the terms of this amendment we are
prohibited from designating ourselves as
Certified Public Accountants in the Com­monwealth
of Massachusetts on and after
August 8, 1922.
Our congratulations are extended to
Mr. W. E. Durham, of the Denver staff,
who has been awarded the faculty prize
for scholarship in the Department of Ac­counts,
Commerce and Finance of the
University of Denver.
Mr. Durham was graduated from the
University of Denver in the class of 1922,
receiving the degree of Bachelor of Com­mercial
Science.
We note with pleasure that Messrs.
B. B. Hull and F. M. Holmes, of the
Denver Office, and Mr. E. L. Duncan, of
the Kansas City Office, have passed the
C. P. A. examinations held by the State
Board of Accountancy of Colorado in
May, 1922. Mr. Duncan was formerly a
member of the Denver staff.
Our office at Dallas has removed, under
date of July 1, 1922, to the Magnolia Build­ing,
Dallas, Texas.
It is with regret that we note the death
of Mrs. L. C. Matthews at her home,
Druid Hills, Atlanta, Georgia, on Thurs­day,
June 29. Mrs. Matthews had re­cently
been visiting in New York City and
vicinity, and her death therefore comes as
a greater shock.
Mr. R. I. Bush, Jr., of our New York
Broad Street staff, died suddenly on Mon­day,
July 3. Mr. Bush was held high in
esteem both as an accountant and as a
man in our organization, and in his death
we have a sense of distinct loss. The
funeral services were conducted at his late
home, 11 Grand Avenue, Arlington, New
Jersey, and were attended by several
members of the firm and staff. The
Masonic fraternity, of which Mr. Bush
Was a member, conducted a ritualistic
service which was most impressive.
Effective August 1, 1922, the address of
our Paris Office will be 43 Rue de la
Chaussée-d'Antin, Paris.
It is with regret that announcement is
made of the resignation of Mr. L. C.
Matthews as manager of the Atlanta Office,
effective June 30, 1922.
We announce the appointment, effec­tive
July 1, 1922, of Mr. P. A. Gilcrest as
assistant manager of the Chicago Office,
in charge of the Report Department.
Congratulations are extended to Mr.
J. L. Henson of the Cincinnati Office, and
to Mr. D. J. Hofer of the New York 39th
Street Office, who have successfully passed
the examinations of the American Insti­tute
of Accountants and have been ad­mitted
to associate membership of the
Institute.
