ANOTHER CITY OFFICER.

The Southeastern Tariff Association
Recommends an Electrician.
The Southeastern Tariff Association
wants the city to employ an electrician,
and sent in communication to that effect
at last nights meeting of the city council,
which was referred to the street and lane
committee. Their letter is as follows:
This association has in its employ an expert
electrician, John s. Alfred, whose duty is to
inspect electric light plants and euuipments in
the cities within the associations territory,
embracing the states of North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida 1t
has been observed with qualification, that in a
number of cities in the south electricians are
being employed by the local authorities to look
after the plants and equipments in their respec-
tive places; to see that they are constructed in
accordance with the required standards, and
therefore kept IN order, 80 as to reduce, as far
as possible, the danger to life and property con-
nected In greater or less degree with all cleo
trlcal light apparatus.
The association earnestly recommends the
employment Of such experts by all the cities
which have no4 yet done 80, as the Insurance.
companies composing this association, prefer
that the inspections to be made in their behalf
by our expert, should be conducted in com
junction with local electrician. BY Joint
inspection. as proposed much better results
can be obtained than by one expert alone
among others the following up of the work
begun in the joint inspection by having the
local electrician see to it that the deficiencies
and dangerous features pointed out in each
plant are speedily removed and the entire
plant made to conform to the standard
requirements. The insurance companies have
recognized the fact that the electric light has
come to stay. They also realize from a some
what expensive experience, the danger to prop
erty in badly constructed plants and insula-
tions, and the inspections recently made by our
expert only too clearly demonstrate that the
majority of the systems in the south belong to
that class.

that we expect to give these desires

adepth of one foot or fifteen inches below
