Whether the Labor Commissioner must be domiciled in Indianapolis.

A person might practice optometry within the meaning of this act and yet sell spectacles from house to house and from town to town, provided he was doing the things described in section four of the act, a question of fact for you to determine. I think the legislature intended by the proviso to section 4 that one who had been traveling about fitting and peddling spec- tacles, e., and who had not been employing mechanical means for testing and measuring the refractive and accommodative con- ditions of the eye, etc., should not be entitled to registration without examination; that body was not seeking to deprive men from peddling glasses, but rather to protect the public against incompetent opticians, and if a person who had been fitting and peddling spectacles, and at the same time was practicing op- tometry as. defined in section 4, and had continued to do so for three years in Indiana, such a person notwithstanding he had fitted and peddled, would be entitled to registration without ex- amination. LABOR COMMISSIONER-RESIDENCE AND TRAVELING EXPENSES. June 26, 1907. Hon. G. W. Purcell, Labor Commissioner, State House, City: Dear Sir-Answering your recent favor requiring my opinion as to whether it is necessary, under the law, to make your home in Indianapolis, and as to whether the law entitles you to your expenses while attending to your official duties in Indianapolis while living in Terre Haute, I beg to advise you: It is my opinion that so long as you hold the office of labor commissioner your official domicile will be in the city of Indianap- olis, regardless of Where you actually live; that you may live any where in the state so long as you can satisfactorily attend to your duties, and that, under the statute, you would be entitled to your traveling expenses in traveling to and from Indianapolis. I am, therefore, of the opinion that the law does not entitle you to any expenses while attending to your official duties at the seat of government.
