PLUMBERS MUST
PASS EXAMINATION
The Health Committee Agrees on
Ordinance in Accordance
With New Constitution.

In accordance with the provisions of the
new State Constitution. the Health Com
m;ttee last night agreed on a plumbing
ordinance. which requires that board
of examiners be created by the Common
Council, whose duty it shall be to exam
inc once every year all plumbers doing
business in the city of Richmond.
The ordinance was drawn by the City
Attorney, and conforms in every partic-
ular with the State law on the question.
providing that the board of examiners
shall consist of the president of the
Board of Health. the inspector Of plumb
ing. a journeyman plumber and master
plumber. The first two are to receive
no pay for their additional services, while
1t was left with the Health Committee to
stipUlate a salary for the plumbers
In addition. the ordinance requires that
the examining board meet at least twice
a month to examine all applicants for
licenses. and that for every license is
sued fee of one dollar shall be collected
and turned into the city treasury. All
renewals are to cost the applicant fifty
cents. and this, too. is to go into the
till of Richmond.
The ordinance created little or no talk
among the members of the committee IN
til the matter OF pay for the journeyman
and master plumber members of the board
was taken up, and then every one had a
different idea as TO how much they should
be paid for their services.
After much debate, on motion of Mr..
Seay, it was decided to pay them q sum
OF $50 year. as 1t was decided that little
or no time would be required to attend to
the duties of the office. although there
is some honor accompanying such a posi-
ton
The ordinance will now go to the Coun-
ell. where 1t will be passed just as It
stands. after which the committee will
elect the two outside members OF the
board of examiners and then every
plumber In the city will have to appear
for examination before he will be al
lowed to continue operating In Richmond
