MORAN AND CASEY
OPPOSE NAMING OF
ELECTRIC INSPECTOR
Former Says Administration
Has City in Debt
$1,4OO,OOO.

This administration has placed the
city in debt $1,4OO.OoO. I am oppos-
ed to having that debt increased. 1
am opposed to the creation of any
more offices to further burden the
tax payers
In this fashion Alderman William
Moran last night consistently oppos-
ed the creation of the Office of cleo
trical inspector in new buildings, the
salary for which office is to be ST.
500. The ordinance making the Of
flee was faVorably reported by the
ordinance committee of the common
council last night. 1t provides that
no electrical wiring may be placed
in a building unless it is of the stan
dard prescribed by the national code
for such work. It Is proposed to
charge. so cents for each inspection
the inspector makes
Alderman Primrose on the Repub-
ican side promptly objected to the
passage of the ordinance. He said
it appeared too sweeping and too
drastic.
often tines said the alderman,
*.in our factory and in every other
factory it is necessary to change a
light from one position to another.
If 1 read this ordinance correctly
these changes could not be. made
unless the inspector was called in. I
think this would be an entirely UNI
necessary supervision. I am oppos-
ed to the Immediate consideration of
the measure. think members of
this board should be given some OPP
portunity to look further into the
matter
Alderman John H. Casey moved a
postp onernent of the measure for two
weeks. He said the passing of the
law without giving all members of
the board an opportunity to consider
it was. unfair. He said each member
of the board should be furnished with
a copy of ordinance before it was
adopted He moved a postp onem ent
corNsi Iteration of the ordinance for
two weeks in order that all might
become familiar with it.
Alderman Casey called attention to
the fact that when the ordinance was
discussed some time ago some tnsur-
ance men had promised that if an
inspector was clothed with authority
the insurance companies would pay
his salary. Alderman Casey said
the postp Onement for two weeks could
do no harm and the tax payers ought
not to be called on to pay the salary
of another official until all members
of the board had a chance to con-
slider the matter.
Alderman Harrigan seconded the
motion for the postponement. The
Republicans were bent on forcing the
matter through, however. On the
Dem ocratice side Alderman John H.
Cough1in favored it. Alderman Mac
Hayden was presiding in the absence
of Mayor Wilson. On a vote by ac-
clamation he declared the motion to
table was lost.
Then, on q, rising vote he declared
it lost again, although Alderman De-
Laney had left the chamber and AL
derman MacFayden, exercising his
prerogative as presiding officer, voted
twice to break a, supposed tie. AL
derman Moran then called attention
to the fact that but II aldermen were
voting against the measure and AL
dermen MacFayden announced that
the repoEtvof the ordinance committee
would be tabled for two weeks. In
the meantime on the motion Of Alder
man Casey the city clerk will have
dfnance placed in the hands of every
mem Der OF the board. "a
