Plumbing Ordinance Features.

The councilmanic committee on public
safety and comfort considered the plumb
ing ordinance last night. w. J. Freaney, of
the master plumbers. and H.. T. Hudson. of
the independent plumbers. were before the
committee and recommended several minor
changes I'm the ordinance. The ordinance
may be changed TO lower the cost of
plumbing permits and TO fix the time OF the
ordinance taking effect, SO that contracts
that have recently been let Will not be af-
fected. The journeymcn plumbers will be
heard next week. and II Is expected that
they will assail the change In the new or
dinance which provides that the plumbing
inspector shall be examined by a board
consisting OF three practical plumbers do
ing business In the city. This conforms
with the city charter. but the journeymen
will ask that the section be amended SO
that they will have a representative on the
examining board.
