ACT AGAINST
j. S. HANSON
Health Board Claim He
Transferred Plumbing Permit

Action Will soon be started by the
Board of Health against John S.
Hanson, of New Brunswick avenue,
plumber, because it is alleged he
applied for and received a plumbing
permit in Hobart street and which
instead of using himself it is charged
he gave work to a certain Reuben
Isaacson, a plumber, who has a New
York but not a New Jersey license.
At a meeting of the health commits
sioners last night Jesse Davis, a
prominent labor leader and delegate
for the plumbers union, appeared
and gave evidence to show thai Han
son was not working on the Hobart
street job but that the New York
plumber was doing it, despite the
fact that he had no license in this
state. 1t was shown that all the
supplies which are being used on the
property in question are charged to
Mr.. I%saacson and not Mr.. Hanson.
1t was also stated by one of the men
who is working on the job that Mr..
Hanson does not pay the men en-
ployed. Commissioner Leo Schwartz
will take up the matter with the city
attorney.

cause of the frequent complaints of
the local plumbers to the effect that
there are New York and Brooklyn
men who come here to do one or two
Jobs and then leave town. How
ever, these usually ask for licenses.
But in the case of Mr.. Isaacson no
plumbing license was asked, but 1T
is alleged Mr.. Hanson made the ap-
~plication presumably for himself and
after it was granted New York
workmen were employed. Hence
the objection raised by the local
plumbers.
Steve Mario was granted an ap-
plication for transferring his barber
shop from 69S to sos Catherine
street. Mrs. Mary Kopar's applica-
ton for a milk (wagon) license was
