FEES.—To the board of examiners, before examination, $5 (_ib._, s. 1,747, as amended Act 1892, c. 70). To the clerk of the court, for recording, same fee as for recording a deed (_ib._, s. 1,749). WASHINGTON. EXAMINING BOARD.—The governor is required to appoint a State medical examining board of nine members, learned and skilled in the practice and theory of medicine and surgery (Act March 28th, 1890, s. 1). The said board is required to hold meetings for examination on the first Tuesday of January and July in each year, alternately in western and eastern Washington at such places as the board may designate. The board may call special meetings when, in the opinion of a majority of the board, they are necessary. The board is required to keep a record of all applicants for a license, with their ages, the time spent in the study and practice of medicine and surgery, and the name and location of all institutions granting to such applicants degrees or certificates of lectures in medicine or surgery, and whether such applicant was rejected or licensed; and said register is _prima facie_ evidence of all matters therein recorded (_ib._, s. 2).
