NAVAL RESERVES CHANCES.
mir. GigniIIiat Before the Examining
Board in New York Yesterday.

Air. GigniIIiat Before the Examining
Board in New York Yesterday.
Mr. T. II. Gignilliat stood the naval ex-
animation for the rank of commander, in
New York city. Thursday, and had con-
sultation with Admiral IErben yesterday
in regard TO the examinations of the Of
iicers of the Georgia naval battalion here
and in Brunswick.
AS the Virginia naval reserves were mus
tered in the service Of the United States
last Monday and the Florida reserves are
ordered to be ready for examination next
week, Georgia's chances of furnishing a
naval battalion are very good.
Some idea of the rigidity of the examina-
ton that MIR. Gignilliat stood may be
gathered from the fact that Commander
Miller Of the New York naval reserves
preferred TO step down two pegs and go as
a lieutenant, his former rank In the United
States navy, than TO attempt the difficult
examination.
Should Mr. Gignilliat succeed in making
the necessary mark, he may well be con-
graduated, and in the event that he falls
below It, it will not be considered any lack
OF ability on mis- part.
The new commander Will report to Sa-
vannah just as soon as he learns that he
win get his commission. Then the work
of mastering and examining the men Will
commence.

MUST COMPLY WITH THE LAW.
Plumbers who Oppose the Plumbing
Law Fined.

Law t1neus
The case in Police Court against Nc
Kenna & WEIGH for refusing to alter work
to comply with the new plumbing ordi-
nance, came up before Recorder Ravenel
yesterday, and after hearing statements
from members of the firm, as well as
Plumbing Inspector Cosgrove. in behalf of
the city, a decision was rendered against
the plumbers. The firm was given ten
days to comply, the penalty being $50 fine,
or thirty days Imprisonment.
There are a number of plumbers who
have taken issue with the city on its right
to enforce the ordinance, but the present
decision will likely settle all differences
and bring about a rapid compliance with
the law. A number who received notice
weeks ago. hesitated until this firm was
placed on the docket, after which they de-
termined to await developments.
Recorder Ravenel had no other alterna-
live in the matter, since there was clearly
no reason for failing to comply with the
law. The statement by Inspector Cosgrove
was to the effect that he notified the firm
to change one fixture, but additional time
was asked and granted. Later, he gave a
out any effort to comply. 1t was appar-
ent the work was not likely to be done
soon, and as he had been directed to see
there was no delay, Inspector Cosgrove
concluded to docket the plumbers. After
doing this the case was set for hearing,
but was passed for some reason.
Mr.. Edward WEIGH was on hand to repre-
sent the firm. The reason he gave for non
+ compliance was that the ordinance is not
being generally enforced and that there
was some misunderstanding as to the time
it went into effect, the plumbers believing
it was when the inspector was appointed.
Mr.. Welch admitted however, that he was
chairman of the committee which drew up
the ordinance, which caused the recorder
TO smile when lack of knowledge or inter
probation of the law was expressed. Be
sides the violation on which this charge is
based, there are thirty-six other fixtures
which this firm has been, given notice to
change, AL Of which WereIput in after the
ordinance passed.
The other plumbers who have taken is
sue with the city on the ordinance, Will be
required 10 proceed to make changes with
out delay, or Inspector Cosgrove will
promptly carry out instructions given him
by the board of plumbing examiners by
docketing violators. The law provides for
back vents and other improved methods in
plumbing, calculated to preserve the
health of the city, which makes it import
ant that 1t be impartialy enforced
