BILL TO LICENSE PLUMBERS
Subject Of interesting Hearing Before
Legal Affairs.

The bill for the licensing of plumb
ers. which came over from the last
Legislature, created a lively discussion
before the committee on legal affairs
Tuesday afternoon. The measure pro-
viding for the establishment of sys-
tenn of juvenile of courts, which also
had been referred to the present Ses-
sion by the 74th Legislature. will be
reported back to the House by the
committee for reference to the judi
ciary committee.
NJ. T. O'Brien OF Portland explained
the provisions of the plumbing bill to
THE committee. II provides for their
licensing and effects their work as re-
lating to sewerage. waste and ven-
tilation. Mr.. O'Brien said it would
protect both the people who lived in
tenement houses from the danger of
disease through incompetent work and
property owners from paying for a
first class job and getting an inferior
one.
"All the unions favor the measure"
said Mr. OBrien, and it will give pro-
lection against INSCRIPTIONS plumbers
who send out boys to whom they pay
10 cents or a dollar day in wages
and charge up SO and 81 to their Gus
toner's
Under the bill all master employing
and journcymen plumbers are required
to have d license for which they must
pass an examination before board OF
examiners. Competent men and firms
vho are in business at present. how
ever. need not pass any test. They
are to be granted the license upon APP
pication. The annual fee is 81 for all
save the journeynen who are charged
but half that sum.
There is to be plumbing inspector,
| under the proposed law, in every city
and town of over 5000 Inhabitants and
| in every city or town having u water
supply and sewerage system. Such
cities are also to have examining
boards, one to be selected by the To-
cal board of health and the other two
| by the city or town government The
bills are to be paid by the cities and
| towns.
Mr.. O'Brien told of school in Port
land which had to be closed last fall
| because Of defective plumbing. This
wouldn't have happened. he thought
| if the proposed bill had been the law.
John +. Kane. a Portland plumber
told of going into d Portland tenement
and finding open traps between the
| house and the sewer. Other plumbers
who favored the bill were T.. w. Goss
| of Auburn, r. w. Carrigan of Lewis
| ton and James II. Sheehe of Chicago
general organizer of the United Asso-
| citation of Journeymen Plumbers
| Sheehe said that the bill was similar

| ed to this Legislature for general
law. The proposed law fixes the penalty
| at $50 fine plus S. per gallon for opened
scallops and s. per hundred for seal
lops in the shell. 1t also prohibits buy

and provides for holding the boat till

HoE. James Donahue. commissioner
of sea and shore fisheries. told of the
difficulties of enforcement. and advo-
Gated the law forbidding having in
possession, and to forbid the having
IF scalloping apparatus in the boat
during close time. He said that much
foaching is done in times of fog and
in the night. RE said that dragging Il
bed in summer means the killing of the
seailops which are disturbed.
L. w. Ruinill of West fremont. first
selectmau of his town. also Henry p.
Albea and Joseph Worcester, two
Rockland scallop fishermen, also APP
reared in behalf of the bill. and Mr..
Kimball stated that 266 scallop fisher
men signed the petitions. while there
are only about 800 men in the business.
Hon. Albert c. McLoon. MAYOR of
Rockland. and a fish dealer by occu.
potioi pptcStu tllt btii because II
would hurt Names summer resort
business. for the summer people want
Holsters and scallops and sweet fresh
fish such as they cannot get at home.
He said that the beds tished in winter
should be closed in summer and said
that there were small beds which 1t
does not pay to fish in winter that
would be ample for the scallopS needed
in summer. He said this agitation for
. general law was started by men who
had other occupations IN summer and
thought that their interests should not
be sustained as against the men who
fish in summer. The bill to make Oc-
toher close month would hurt Maine.
by depriving Maine fishermen of the
Massachusetts market in the best
month in the year. and he also asked
for opening all the beds in September
when the season begins in Massachu-
sets.
He asked for removing the reStcic-
tions Tow existing over part Of west
ern Penobscot bay. He said that seal
lop fisheries should be open in spring.
as scaliops are the chief bait supply
at that time.
Judge Elmer p. Spofford of Deer
Isle stated that the people in his VI
cinity want the proposed law as n pro-
lection to their occupation. an nccu-
patton Which according to the fisher
les commissioner was worth $4,000 to
Maine last year.
Gardiner Ciosson, Rockland seal
lop fisherman. said that he had fished
for scallops - years, and believed that
they crawled away from the beds for
spawning. so that protection amounts
to nothing at spawning time. He want
cd tile same chance as the scallop fish
erlnen i'm states west of Maine, and I'M
der cross e Examination by Mr.. kimball
admitted that he would not object to
close time from April to Sept. l.
Mr. McLoon presented some remon-
strances which were attacked by Mr.
kimball as containing the names Of
fish dealers and of clothing dealers
and Inachinists rather than fishermen.
Mr. Worcester again spoke. to state
that the September and October open
season spoil the winter market. fon
they make it possible to control that
market with cold storage scallops of an
inferior quality.
