standard as those governing the boards of medical exam-
iners of this State; such applicants, however, being still
required to furnish the same proof of qualifications re-
quired of other applicants by this section.

"45. A fee of fifteen dollars shall be paid to the secre-
tary-treasurer of the board before whom the applicant
appears, before such examination is had, which payment
shall entitle said applicant to a second examination in
case of failure, at the expiration of six months and with-
in twelve months thereafter; said fee to be applied by
said board toward paying the expenses of said board.

"46. The boards shall refuse to grant a license to any
applicant who may be radically deficient in his examina-
tion in any essential branch; provided, that in case of
failure at any such examination the candidate shall not
be permitted to take another examination before either
board until after the expiration of six months from the
date of his rejection.

"48. Any person receiving a license from either of
said boards shall file the same at once, or a certified copy
thereof, with the clerk of the Circuit Court of the county
in which he or she may reside, or with the clerk of the
Circuit Court of Baltimore city, if said person shall reside
therein, and it shall be the duty of said clerk to register
the name of said person and of the president of the
board signing said license, in a book kept for the pur-
pose, as a part of the records of his office; and the num-
ber of the book and the page therein containing said
recorded copy shall be noted by said clerk upon the face
of said license. In case said person should, after
the recording of such license, permanently remove his or
her residence to some other county of the state, or to Bal-
timore city, he or she shall thereupon at once file said
license or a certified copy thereof, for record as aforesaid
with the clerk of the Circuit Court of the county or city
to which he or she shall have so removed. Said records
shall be open to public inspection, under proper restric-
tions as to their safe keeping, and in all legal proceed-
ings shall have the same weight as evidence that is given
to the records of conveyances of land; the fee for each
registration shall be $1, to be paid by the person whose
license is registered. "
