INSPECTOR OF WIRES
Proposed City Ordinance Provides

Following the report of the com

Association, which visited Oskaloosa
last week and reported that the cleo,
trio wiring in many of the business
buildings was dangerous, and asking
that the council should pass an ordin-
ance, regulating the wiring of build
ings, City Solicitor OrVis presented
an ordinance to tie city council last
night. He stated that he drew the
ordinance last March, at the time the
ordinances of the city were revised,
but on account of the large number
|of ordinances involved this one was
set aside.
The provisions OF the ordinance are
for the inspection, and regulation of
electric wiring, appliances and ap-
paratus to comply with the National
Board OF Fire Underwriters. The
costs of the inspection will be assess

duplicate of the permit must be kept

the building is completed the city
electrician will issue certificate to
the property owner showing that the

The ordinance provides that NOV

to prevent fire. If not they shall not
be allowed to operate in Oskaloosa.
On motion of Councilman Campfield
the ordinance passed it's first reading
and was referred to the ordinance
