Bulletin H A S K I N S & SELLS 43 Our Uptown Practice Office THE firm announces that on April 13 the uptown practice office was removed from 37 West 39th Street to the New York Central Building at 75 East 45th Street, and is now known as the New York 45th Street office. The New York Central Building, rising to a height of thirty-five stories, is located in the heart of the Grand Central Zone. It spans Park Avenue and occupies the entire block between 45th and 46th Streets from Vanderbilt Avenue to Depew Place. Northbound and southbound traffic on Park Avenue passes directly through the building in ramps that rise from the street level at 46th Street and around the Grand Central Terminal on viaducts high enough to permit crosstown traffic on 42nd Street and 45th Street to pass underneath. Its accessibility to both the business and residential sections of the city and its proximity to railroads and rapid transit lines make it a very desirable location. Our office occupies the southeast corner of the 12th floor, with a floor space that admits of ample accommodations in the way of private offices, a large corner room for managers and supervisors, a large room with three smaller rooms for the use of the staff, a conference room, rooms for the office force, files, etc. New York G. P. A. Law ON April 9, 1929, Governor Roosevelt signed the new C. P. A. act governing the practice of accountancy in the State of New York. The text of the new law, having appeared in a number of other publications, is not reproduced here. The substantial changes in the law affect preliminary education, citizenship, certificates by indorsement, and the qualification of co-partnerships. The gist of these sections follows: After January 1, 1938, every candidate will be obliged to present evidence of having satisfactorily completed the course of study in a college or school of accountancy registered by the Department of Education of the state. Holders of certificates who are not citizens will be required to complete their citizenship within eight years from the date of declaring their intention; otherwise, the certificates will become void. In the discretion of the Department, upon recommendation of the Board and subject to the required academic and professional qualifications, holders of certificates issued by other states may have their certificates indorsed, such indorsement making the certificates equivalent to those issued by the State of New York. Co-partnerships registered by the Department may use the words "certified public accountants," provided each partner residing or engaged within the state is a certified public accountant of New York and any other partners resident or engaged within the United States are certified public accountants of one or more states. Thus, it appears that a certified public accountant of a state other than New York may be a member of a New York firm, and by indorsement of his certificate, may qualify to practice within the state as a member of a New York firm.
