GOOD RESULTS OF PUTTING THE BUILDING IN
sPECToRs IN UNIFORMS.
When Commissioner Wesley C. Bush gave orders
that the inspectors of the Brooklyn Building De-
partment should provide themselves with uniforms
the innovation was not regarded with marked de-
gree OF favor either in the department or out OF IT,
Mr.. Bush, however, sure Of the wisdom OF the
change and 1t did not take long to show that he
was right. The uniform has proved to be a protec-
ton not only TO the members of the inspecting
force bat also to builders and contractors The
morale of the force has been improved. and in gem
era the effect of the uniform has been the same as
I'm the case OF policemen and firemen.
Naturally this result has been most gratifying to
the head OF the department. with whom the idea
originated, and he greatly pleased when he
learned a few days ago = Il Superintendent Con-
stable of the NewYork BLNlng Department, had
decided TO adopt It. Other cities. too Boston
among them inteEd to follow the pattern set by
Brooklyn The advantages of the uniform are OBJ
vIous 1t prevents unscrupulous persons from palm
ing themselves OF as inspectors often done
In the old days when blackmaillng a common
thing in the department and It compels the in
spectors to conduct themselves with clrcumspection
That the subordinates of Mr. Bush pleased
with the change and with the administration of the
department In general is evidenced by the action
OF the inspectors who sent one OF their number TO
the Commissioners house on the day before Christ
mas as the bearer Of token of their good-w! in
The gift complete and gratifying surprise to
Mr.. Bush
