PLUMBING A SCIENCE NOW.
Many Hard Problems Face the Mod
 ern Sanitary Engineer.

''The days of the master plumber, as the term master plumber was un- lerstood 30 years ago, seem to be
 passing" said a contractor the oth
 CT day to the New York Sun. Tn
 his place there has arrived the Sani-
 tary engineer. The master plumber
 was the individual who, clad in over
 alls, looked at an architects drawing
 of five or six-story office building
 and estimated on the construction and
 the placing of the plumbing. In nine
 cases out of ten the work was poorly
 done, without due regard to sanitary
 conditions
 With the evolution of the office
 building, as understood in Manhattan
 today, came the evolution of the mas
 ter plumber into the sanitary en-
 gineer. Modern methods of hygiene
 and an application of sound engineer
 ing principles have made possible the
 modern science of plumbing. and plumbing is q branch of engineering akin in importance to mechanical en- gineering. So that the sanitary en- gneer is a type of highly paid col lege graduated engineer, with vari- ous diplomas and other attachments to his name.
 With the enormous buildings in the business district of large cities it requires as much planning and de- signing for the plumbing as for the construction of the building itself, an.1 the architect has to work hand in glove with the sanitary engineer to make his building a success. The comprehensiveness of the sanitary en- gineering business can fully be grasp ed by following the work of a small army of plumbers on a modern sky scraper In new building of B stories that is now in the course of construction. the sewer, water supply and drainage system are not 'the least important item in the construction of the building.
 "All sewer connections in this building have to be carried to the public sewer; the public fixtures above the basement floor have to have a gravity system of drainage and the sub basement floor a system of drainage to an airight sewage pump Then again a system for the
