The Proposed Plumbing Ordinance
 It Is Objected To By Dr. Phillips-
 Re Does Noe Want the Hoard of
 Health Smelling Around His House.
 The committee on ordinances at it's meet ing last night gave hearing on the propos- ed ordinance presented by the board Of health. It provides for the registering Of the name in the office of the board of health of every plumber in New Haven. The
 plumbing and house drainage of all build ings hereafter erected in the city shall be executed in accordance with plans previously approved in writing by the board of health. When, after complaint and inspection, the board of health is convinced that the health of the occupants of any tenement house, lodging house or rented house has been im- paired because of the defective condition or faulty construction of the plumbing or house drainage existing in the house, then the said board may order the plumbing and drainage of the house to be changed and made in accordance with that required in new buildings.
 The proposed ordinance lays down some stringent rules and provides that any person violating any of the provisions of this or- dinance on conviction shall be fined not less than ten nor more than one hundred dollars. Dr. Lindsley, Prof. Brewer and Dr. A. N. Wheeler, and MT. Morgan, the plumbers representative, appeared in favor of the ordi- nanc. Dr. Philips opposed it. He charac- terized it as unwarrantable authority on the part of the board of health. The board might just as well become egg dealers. He said he didn't want the board of health swelling about his house. He stated that the board was trying to pursue theoretical in- I stead of practical plan. He asked that no action be taken until Dr. Dibble returns from the South and it was so voted. Judge Hollister presented an amendment to sections 63 and GA of the city ordinances relating to signs, etc., which shall provide that if court or jury finds that signs do not project more than 5 inches or that they make no substantial interference with the public, a fine be not inflicted.
 Hugh Reynolds, Postmaster English and MT. Judson, who keeps @ store on Crown street, appeared and asked for the revoke ment of the ordinance which allows hack men to stand on the street where they are at present. The gentlemen stated that the hackmen greatly interfere with business on that street.
 Alderman Kent suggested that place be found for the hackmen, or put stop to is- suing any more licenses.
 It was voted to recommend the repeal of this ordinance.
