Abstract
Purpose of this study is to examine contents about the Article 6 of the Bill of the Architect Law: regulation on Architect and its probable side jobs in the Imperial Diet before WW II. Conclusion of this study is as follows: 1. The Article 6 of the Bill had already been considered toward its amendment after the questionnaire to those mainly involved in the architectural business. 2. The amended Article 6 became rather ambiguous. Therefore, it was objected by the Members of the Imperial Diet. 3. Nevertheless, the legislators of the Bill did not make any farther major amendment to it before WWII. 4. The reason seems to be the existence of the Account Law, which had the similar law structure. 5. The Accountant Law was disputed due to lack of article to prohibit Registered Accountants from having probable side jobs. Therefore, a new bill was continued proposed to reform the Law only after two years of its enactment. 6. On the contrary, the Bill of the Architect Law had an article to prohibit Registered Architects from having probable side jobs, which seems why the legislators thought the Bill of the Architect Law as reasonable and did not feel necessity to amend it.
