Plumbers May Be Licensed.

An effort will be made by the
state board of health to bring the
plumbers of Iowa under its iurisdic-
ton at the coming session Of the
legislature. This plan is based on
the relation which exists between
plumbing and health. Cities have
tried regulation of the plumbing busi-
ness, but without avail 1t has de-
veloped that the state board Of health
entertains the idea that 1t can cope
with the problem. The plan con.
templates placing the plumbers un-
der the jurisdiction of the state
board of health, exactly, as the EN-.
balmers of the state now are. They
would be compelled to pass examin-
ton and secure licenses before be-
ing allowed to operate on bath tub
or water tap Secretary Thomas OF
the state board of health said that
this was serious matter and that
the board certainly would ask the
legislature to act. 1t Is movement
in the interest of sanitation. With
the state and the cities devoting theil
energies to securing pure food sup
plies and demanding pure milk, the
eradication of tuberculosis from the
human and animal being, insisting or
clean streets, ETC., etc, the board be
lieves that it is proper that the
source of much of the disease of thu
state should be brought within the
purview of the law. II the state
licenses plumbers, thus compelling
those who practice the profession, tt
be competent, sanitation will be i'm
proved and good instead of bat
plumbing will contribute to tn
health Of the people The report
of the chemists on the water SUP
plies of the state show that 80 pc
cent of them are contaminated wit
sewerage. That means that the pee
pie are drinking water filled with dis
ease germs. Licensing the plumber
will have salutary effect on thi
situation, it is claimed.
