II commend to tho consideration of the
Legislature our state militia system, the
late reorganization of which has created
ansincreased public interest. Il is believed
that the real object Of this branch Of
the public service will be greatly
promoted by revision Of the
laws in relation thereto, and by the con

ity for its expenditures. While public
approval Of a proper encouragement Of

Nyanta Gas Inspeetor.

The question Of appointing gas in
spec or is provoking considerable discus
sion. When the duties OF the plumbing
inspector were fixed by ordinances 1t was
suggested that ne inspect the laying Of
gas pipes, for which the gas company
should pay him $500 annually.
This was not done. The con.
sequence is that plumbers leave part Of
their work to be done BY apprentice boys,
and bad work with leakage gas. fitting Is
the result. The constant escape OF small
quantities Of gas is unpleasant and
wasteful. and though not dangerous is
disagreeable aud offensive, and causes
gas bills to be much heavier shan other
wise. After floors have to be taken up
and plastering torn OF at great expense
TO reach the leaking gas pipes. The
remedy for this is to have a gas-fttlng
inspector to examine all the work done.
This duty Plumbing Inspector Kane
thinks should be done by the plumbing
inspector without additional salary. the
gas company paying $500 TO Council as
part of the inspectors salary
