1Opinion of the Court
REYNOLDSON, Justice.
The basic issue in this civil rights case is whether the following provision in § 105A.9(15), The Code, 1966 [now § 601A.-9(15), The Code, 1973] shall be construed as mandatory or merely directory:
“Any complaint filed under this chapter shall be so filed within ninety days after the alleged discriminatory or unfair practice occurred.”
Trial court interpreted this language to be mandatory, held the proceedings barred by the 90 day time limitation, set aside an Iowa Civil Rights Commission ruling favorable to complainant, and dismissed the cause. We affirm.
