Bill No. 58 of 1952. A BILL TO AMEND THE ALBERTA LAND SURVEYORS ACT. NOTE. This Bill amends Tl~e Alberta Land Surveyors Act, being

chapter 287 of the RevIsed Statutes of Alberta,

Section 2, clause (

b) is amended. The clause is amended to indicate the true purpose for which an examination is held by the Board, that is, for the admission of the candi dates to practise or to study as land surveyors under the Act rather than as surveyors of the association.

section substituted. The new

section relieves a person who has studied for at least three years in a university or college, has a certificate or diploma therefor and has done field surveying work, from the necessity of doing articling under a surveyor as otherwise required before being registered as a surveyor under this Act. The former

section was similar except that it specified a Canadian university or college, it Inade no provision for field surveying work, and provided that a person having such qualifications would serve one year under articles with six months in the field before being registered. The

section has also been redrafted for clarifica tion.

Section 35 is struck out and a new

section substituted. The former

section set out the form of certificate to be issued by the General Faculty Council to a candidate. The

section has been redrafted to provide for a certificate being issued but all reference to the form of the certifica te has been left out. The Registrar of the University now issues a certificate upon the report of the General Faculty Council. This Bill comes into force upon assent. J. W. RYAN, Acting Legislative Counsel.
