by the president and secretary of said board, which shall be filed as hereinbefore provided.

Sec. 6. Every person who is actually engaged in the practice of optometry in the state of California, at the time of the passage of this act, shall, within six months thereafter, file an affidavit in proof thereof with said board, who shall make and keep record of such person, and shall, in the consideration of the sum of five dollars, issue to him a certificate of registration.

grounds upon which he claims such certificate, shall be deemed to have waived his right to a certificate under the provisions or refusal on the part of any person holding such certificate under the provisions of such section. Any failure, neglect or refusal on the part of any person holding such certificate to file the same for record, as hereinbefore provided, for six months after the issuance thereof, shall forfeit the same.

Said expenses shall be paid from the fees and assessments received by the board under the provisions of this act, and no part of the salary or other expenses of the board shall ever be paid out of the state treasury. All moneys received in excess of said per diem allowance and mileage, as above provided for, shall be held by the secretary as a special fund for meeting expenses of said board and carrying out the provisions of this act, and he shall give such bonds as the board shall from time to time direct, and the said board shall make an annual report of its proceedings to the governor on the first Monday in January of each year, which report shall contain an account of all moneys received and disbursed by them pursuant to this act.

Sec. 12. Every registered optometrist who desires to continue the practice of optometry in this state shall annually on such date as the board of optometry may determine, pay to the secretary of said board a registration fee to be fixed by the board, but which shall in no case exceed the sum of two dollars per annum, for which he shall receive a renewal of said registration; and in case of default in such payment, by any person, his certificate may be revoked by the board of examiners, under twenty days' notice of the time and place of considering such revocation. But no certificate shall be revoked for such

non-payment if the person so notified shall pay before or at such time of consideration his fee and such penalty as may be imposed by said board; provided, that said board may impose a penalty of five dollars and no more on any one person so notified, as a condition of allowing his certificate to stand; provided, further, that said board of examiners may collect any such fees by suit.

Sec. 13. Said board shall have power to revoke any certificate of registration granted by it under this act for conviction of crime, habitual drunkenness for six months immediately before a charge to be made, gross incompetency, or contagious or infectious disease; provided, that before any certificate shall be so revoked, the holder thereof shall have notice in writing of the charge or charges against him, and at a day specified in said notice, at least five days after the service thereof, be given a public hearing, and have opportunity to produce testimony in his behalf and to confront the witnesses against him. Any person whose certificate has been so revoked, may, after the expiration of ninety days, apply to have the same regranted, and the same shall be regranted him, upon a satisfactory showing that the disqualification ceased.
