QUITE a number of fires are oc'
curing throughout the country from
defective electric light. wiring. The
Ledger is glad to know that the Elec-
trio Light Company of Mexico is go
ing to inspect all wiring free OF
charge, and we believe the City
Council should adopt the ordinance
suggested by the Company that all
electricians who wire houses should
be licensed and under the supervision
of the city. The only way to guard
against fires from defective wiring
is to have your wiring done right.
