MASTER PLUMBERS ORGANIZE.
VIII Urge the appointment of a
Plumbing Inspector.

A master plumbers association has been
organized in Savannah, nearly all the mas
ter plumbers of the city becoming men,
bers. The following are officers:
President-John Nicolson, ST.
Vice Presidential. A. Mccarthy.
Secretary-T. J. O'Brien.
Treasurer-Thomas Halligan.
There are thirteen firms represented in
the association, and the few which have
not yet Joined are expected to do so. The
association has applied for membership
in the national and state associations. The
object of the association, as stated by one
of the officers, is not to increase the prices
of plumbing, but TO protect the trade. As
the first step in this direction il will urge
the appointment by the city OF a plumb
inspect all plumbing work and to see that
1t is performed according to the ordi-
nances, and with due regard to sanitary
regulations. The purpose of the associa-
ton is also TO elevate the craft in public
estimation.
'srhe plumbers" said one of them YES
terday, ARE tired of being made the butt
OF newspaper witicisms on a subject which
was worn threadbare years ago. The trade
is legitimate one and a very necessary
one to the city. To be a first-class plumb
er, man must not only be a skillful
workman, but a man of intelligence as
wen. Sanitary plumbing is a science, and
Is so recognized by men of intelligence
everywhere: Nothing is more productive
of disease than unsanitary plumbing San
itary plumbing has been at a discount in
Savannah. There has unquestfonably
been a great deal of plumbing work done
here that will not bear inspection. The
best plumbers have sought for a long time
TO have a plumbing inspector appointed.
but their requests have been ignored
They have finally decided to do what they
should have done long ago, to organize
for their own protection and that of the
public"
A committee of the association will an
pear De1ore the next meeting of council
for the purpose of urging the appointment
of a plumbing inspector.
