F|RMER GRIP
ON PLUMBING
WORK DONE

A firmer grip on the plumbing
and gas fitting to be installed in
Spokane is taken in the new plumb
ing ordinance passed by the city
council last night and to become
effective January 1.
After that date no more plumbing
permits will be issued free, and a
charge will also be made for in
spection Of fixtures based on the
number of such fixtures to be view
ed.
At the present time the electrical
inspector has charge of the inspec-
ton of gas fittings, which properly
belongs to the plumbing depart
ment. The use of gas is increas-
ing and the necessity for more care
in the installation of the gas pipes
is felt. Another deputy will be
given the plumbing inspector to
care for the increased work called
for by the new ordinance. At this
time the salaries of the plumbing
inspector and his assistant Is paid
for by the general taxpayers, but
under the new ordinance providing
for fees, it is expected that the de-
partment will be self sustaining
The new plumbing ordinance has
40 sections, and was drafted by
Plumbing Inspector Riley after con-
sulting with the plumbing ordi-
nances of the leading cities of the
country. Mr.. Riley has had over
so years experience in the business
himself, and is qualified to pass on
such matters.

BOY ESCAPES,
THEN RETURNS
TO THE JAIL
DOES so AT REQUEST OF
HIS HEARTBROkEN
MOTHER.

Harvey Sherman, the youth who
escaped from the Probation office
la week ago, returned to his prison
this morning, voluntarily giving
himself into the custody of Proba-
ton Officer John Clifford.
An uneasy conscience, the re-
quest of his mother, and the posi-
bility Of evading severe punish
ment, combined to cause the youth
to return from Pasco last night and
deliver himself up this morning.
Sherman stayed in room in the
Ajax hotel until yesterday, when
he borrowed sufficient money to
purchase a ticket to Seattle. He
only went as far as Pasco, changing
his mind when liberty seemed as
sured.
Sherman worked for the Crescent
store, and 1t is alleged he stole os-
trich plumes and other finery while
employed there. His mother, who
lives in Butte, was almost heart
broken when she heard that her
son had been arrested. And as
soon as she learned that he had
escaped, advised him to return to
the probation office Immediately.
