There are to be two examinations in Springfield, Amherst, and Pittsfield,
and the final meeting at Springfield, with all the examining boards together so
that anyone who has failed previously may have an opportunity to pass before
these nine examiners.

If a man fails to pass the examination he must return to the same board for
re-examination, with the exception that he may take the final examination at

Springfield at the meeting of the three boards.

The applicants must pass the written examination before taking the floor
work. The president and secretary must be present at all these examinations.

The Board voted to adopt an official jacket described as follows: scarlet
body with grey trimmings; insignia white with scarlet lettering inscribed: West-
ern Massachusetts Approved Official. Twenty members have purchased these jackets.
