Keauest Of NIu.ter IIumber-.

committee from the Master Plumbers
Association was before the Water Com
mission on Tuesday afternoon asking for
the appointment of water inspector,
This is the name the plumbers used. but
they really meant water pipe inspector.
The work of this inspector would be to
see that such pipes were used as had been
specified In the plans Of the architect
who had designed the houses. In addi-
tlon to the request for the Inspector the
committee asked that the commission
would prepare set OF rules regulating
the kind of pipes that will be placed in
houses OF the several grades
At this time the pipes most In use is
the one-half inch and the fve-elghts inch
grade. The first-named weighs two and
a half pounds to the foot and the second
three pounds to the foot. The difficulty
appears TO be that in bidding for work
al this time a plumber Will figure on the
job and then can use any kind of pipe
that suits him best and there is no one
to object. The use Of a lighter pipe, of
course is more profitable to him, but
II is more likely to burst and cause trou-
BILE to the property-owner and the Water
Department at the same time.
The commissioners heard what members
Of the committee said, and then asked
them to prepare a set Of rules, which the
commission would consider. Another
thing that the committee asked was that
permission to make connection with prop
erty be granted to none but regularly-li-
ceused plumbers. This will also be con-
sdered by the commission. The plumbers
say that the creation Of a pipe inspector
would not make another officer necessary
as there are now two men in the employ
OF the Water Commission who could do
the work,
