Authority to Revoke Licenses.

1.-THE reason for asking authority to
revoke licenses is that it has been the ex-
perience of the Commissioners in quite
number of cases that plumbers violate
plumbing regulations, and although they
are prosecuted in the Police Court for
such violation. they continue to violate
the law. and the courts have decided that
under the present law their licenses can
not be revoked. 1t IS believed highly
necessary that the Commissioners he
given this authority, as the nature Of the
plumbing business is such that it is diff
ficult to detect in all cases faulty work
done by such plumbers. and where the
violations of the plumbing regulations are
frequent and fragrant the omm.ssioners
believe that some authority should be
vested In them to revoke tla license of
such plumber.
This action. while it would protect the
public from INSCRIPTIONS plumbers, will
not operate to deprive such men of a
means of livelihood even during the
period of the revocation of the license as
they can obtain employment Journey
men plumbers under a liren. Il plumber
who would be responsible for their acts
and If they afterward pass the eXamna
ton and comply with the plumbing recll-
lations they may obtain u new license

DRY GOODS MARKET

New York, April 6.-The jobbers
in the dry goods market have made
furthr reductions in heavy brown
cotton goods to become effective on
Monday. Credit departments in job
bing houses are feeling easier con-
cerning the outlook. Some large
southern jobbers have been operat-
ing in the primary market on fall
goods in the past two days. Linens
are generally quiet but some houses
are doing a fair business. Burlaps
are quiet and steady in this market
and quiet abroad. Fine white goods
are showing an increased movement.
