Testing Equipment.

The expenses for horse. harness, wagon
and testing appafatus are estimated at
$3.50, and in reference to the item Mr.. Ball
says:
I'm order to provide;for satisfactory test
ing Of new plumbing in an efficient man
ner 1t is necessary that a smoke test ma
chine, with the necessary connections,
plugs, etc, and achorse and wagon for the
transportation Of ethe same, be purchased.
The superiority OF this method over any
system by which the plumbers should pro-
vide the testing apparatus is obvious, as
such appliances furnished by them would
be only occasionally In use and would be Of
different types and would require repairs
and adjustment IN almost every case. The
equipment referred to would afford means
for testing underground drains, which is
entirely lacking at the present time
throughout the District .,.
For TOOLS materials and the fitting up
of room for the purpose Of testing appli-
cants for the licensing Of master plumbers
as to their skill in the trade an item of
$236 is asked. The inspector says he is re-
quested by the plumbing board to ask this
appropriation IN order that candidates for
licensing assmaster plumbers may be SUBJ
mttted to practical tests to their knowl-
edge Of proper methods OF executing
plumbing work and their own skill in exc
cutting the same.
