BOSTON.—(J. T. A.)—A con- troversy has developed here as to who is entitled to perform mar- riage ceremonies, in connection with regulations issued by the Boston city authorities in co-ope- ration with the state department of vital statistics. The regulation of Assistant Registrar Joseph A. Cahlan whereby certain cantors were re- fused authorization to perform marriage ceremonies, called forth the protest of the Cantors' Asso- ciation. The association has re• tained counsel to tight the issue. A special conference to deter- mine the status of those who are entitled to perform marriage cere- monies and to bring more clarity SG the definition of the statute covering the subject under the laws of Massachusetts was called by a number of leading congrega- tions affiliated with the Associa- tion of Congregations of Boston. The matter is of particular inter- est since the interpretation given to the Massachusetts statute by the department of vital statistics might call into question the legal- ity of marriages performed in the past. Rabbi Harry Levi of the leading Reform temple, Rabbi Louis H. Epstein, Rabbi 11. II. Rubenovitz, Bernard W. Marcus and Moses Mishel, president of the Association of Congregations, par- ticipated in the discussion. The law here provides: "A marriage may be solemnized in any place within the common- wealth by a minister of the gospel, ordained according to the usage of his denomination who resides in the commonwealth and continties to perform the functions of his office; by a rabbi of the Israelitish faith, duly licensed by a congre- gation of said faith established in the commonwealth, who has filed with the clerk or registrar of the town where he resides a certificate of the establishment of the syna- gogue, the date of his appointment thereto and of the term of his en- gagement." Mr. Cahlan called a meeting at the City Hall of those interested in this problem but adjourned the conference after an agreement was reached that a special committee should be formed to make a sur- vey of the existing conditions and submit recommendations to the department of vital statistics.
