of fifty cents. Any failure, neglect or refusal on the part
of the person holding such certificate or copy of record to file

SEC. 13. And be it enacted, That the Board may revoke any
certificate of registration or examination granted by it under
this Act because of wilful misrepresentation, illegal practice,
conviction of crime, habitual drunkenness for six months pre-

certificate of registraton or examination has been revoked shall
not be permitted to practice Optometry in this State. An ap-
