for this reason. as in other parts OF the

is believed to be fully as high as is 5usti-

1t would be impracticable to reduce the
expenses Of the office work and inspec-
tion. as notwithstanding the fact that
the value of building operations was re-
duced, the number OF permits issued was
greater, indicating that while there were
not SO many large buildings under con-
struction. the territory In which the
building took place was scattered, which
involved the issuance Of more permits
and a greater time spent In inspection.
A new edition OF the building code was
issued during the year. this being the
first edition issued since 1909.
Fire Escapes.
The buildings coming within the pur-
view Of the fire escape law are now gen.
orally equipped with fire escapes and
such other fire prevention apparatus as
is required by law. In some minor
respects. such as the furnishing OF neces-
sary guide signs, fire alarm gongs ana
extinguishers. there has not been COM

but the Commissioners are making a spe

vested In them by the law, to secure full

were erected during the year.

Plumbing and Plumbing Inspection.


During the year the plumbing Office
made Al ga inspections, which showed a
decrease under the preceding year, due
to the general decrease i'm building work
The average number OF inspections made
by each inspector per day was about ls.
A new edition OF the plumbing regula-
tions was issued during the year. Forty
nine cases OF violations of the plumbing
regulations were prosecuted in the Police
Court.
Under the compulsory drainage act S.
cases were handled by the plumbing Office
and the sum OF sSpi .07 Was extended
which sum was assessed against the prop

Plumbing Board.
During the year the plumbing board
held "a sessions for examinations OF car
didates for license as master plumbers
and gas filters. Fffty-four applicants
were examined, Of which 80 were new
applicants and 16 were applicants for re-
examination. OF the former passed tho
examination and 30 failed. and of the
latter 3 passed and 13 failed.
Public Convenience Stations.

duced In the appropriation act for the
year from $11, 900 to 81 600. and by reason
OF this reduction the stations could only
be operated on q 12-hour basis. This was
found unsatisfactory to the public.

Cleanliness and sanitation are the
key notes of success in keeping dairy

in general financial conditions, and
for that reason curtailed their pur-
chases. But the truth of the matter
is that the demand for canned goods
has continued strong right straight
through and the result is that many
wholesale houses now find themselves
short of their requirements.
LAST YEARS MISTAKES.
In addition to this, great many of
the very late Evergreen blackberries
we're last year received by the cannery
after the berries we're practically of
no canning value; that is to say, they
we're not much more than about the
same weight of rain water. That was
another mistake which will not be re-
peated this season. In fact, the as
ISOLATION experienced bit of the
same trouble during the raspberry
season just closed. Some OF the red
raspberry growers seem to have an
idea that any kind of berry is good
enough for the cannery and have been
trying to put into the cannery berries
that we're sour and that had no texture
when taken off the vines. And while
the management realizes that this has
been done without knowledge on the
part of the grower of the hardship
that it has imposed upon the cannery
still If has been done
PART BAD, ALL BAD.
If90 per cent of the berries deliver
ed to the cannery are good firm stock
and if only 10 per cent of them are
sour, soft and mushy, the entire pack
must be sold at the value of the 10
percent part Of it, for the reason that
it is impossible to keep them separate,
and from the outside of the can it is
impossible to see or to tell what the
inside of it contains. In sending out
samples-for all sales are thus made
how can the management know the
exact quality of what is being sent?
1t may be a can of good berries or it
may be can of poor ones. If it is
good ones, an order may be given to
the association; but, afterwards, when
the shipment arrives and inspection
is made, a can of poor berries may be
the one selected by the purchaser to
inspect. -Puyallup Tribune.

WHEN TO PICK BLACKBERRIES.


felt that it made little, if any, differ
ence whether the berries we're shipped
or not. If not shipped, they could be
turned into the cannery at fully as
good prices as would be obtained if
shipped. The delay in getting the
money out of the cannery blackberries
has, however, taught the management
that it should sell fresh every crate
that can be moved at a profit. And
this will be the policyof the associa-
ton this year
WHEN TO PICK BERRIES.
The number of crates that can be
moved at profit will depend entirely,
according to President Paulhamus,
upon the manner in which the berries
are picked. The Evergreen berry, II
picked too early, is not suitable for
any purpose whatever. If picked just
after it sweetens it is suitable for
every purpose that any other black
berry can be used for. II left on the
vine too long it becomes dead and
will start moulding IN ten hours.
All of which shows that success IN
marketing the Evergreen berries for
fresh consumption depends entirely
upon the grower. II he permits his
pickers to dominate the yard, pick
Just what they want and when they
want, the result inevitably Will be
disastrous. If, on the other hand,
the grower will take charge of his field
and of his Grating shed, see that moth
ing but first class berries are put in
the cups and that the berries are care
fully handled, a great many carloads
can be sold in the best markets.
GROWERS MUST AID.
Like all other human institutions
the association sometimes makes mis-
takes; but the growers themselves
must bear in mind that the association
cannot be successful without their
constant assistance and cooperation.
A poorly picked crate of berries can
not, by the association, be made
good crate of berries The shipping
distance of every crate of berries is
measured by the poorest berry in the
crate-just as the virtue of a log chain
is determined by the strength of its
weakest link. One mouldy berry in
cup will spoil a crate; one mouldy
crate in the car will often spoil the
whole car.
1t is the desire of the management
OF the association to ship at least 200
cars of Evergreen blackberries. 1t
has gone to considerable trouble in
looking up markets with a view to
getting the best prices. And it is be-
lieved that fairly good results can be
obtained with the assistance of the
growers. Weather conditions permit
ting, the Evergreen crop can be moved
at profit, if, as before suggested, the
growers will do their full share. But
il they are Indifferent and careless,
the Evergreen industry will be fail
ure.
