good faith Of the applicants He also
states that he sees no reason why under

fair to postpone the application of the

therefore, recommends that the applicant

Mr. Ball also recommends that the IN
spector of Plumbing be empowered TO ap-
ply the same ruling for q period not 10
exceed the time between now and May /
1901, to applications of a similar nature,
taking pains to verify the amount Of stock
stated 10 be on hand, and 10 note the va
