LETTERS TO EDITOR
Reveals Outrageous Plumbing Laws


 To the Editor of The Herald. I have just visited the exhibition al 1o9 Twenty-first street, in the Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power com. pany's building, where the Master Plumb. ers' association and the Real Estate ex. change are making a demonstration oi plumbing supplies. and showing much concerning the outrageous, extortionate nonsensical and useless requirements of the plumbing ordinances in fostering graft, favoring certain manufacturers and special interests at the expense ot property owners of Birmingham. And though I do not pretend to have any special technical knowledge concern ing the Thigh art of plumbing. dc claim to possess a modicum of common sense, and after seeing and having ex- plained to me many features which are there exposed. l realize that the people of Birmingham are being outra geously imposed upon by those who are supposed to prescribe proper regulations for hy- giene and sanitation in the matter Of plumbing. But any man with eyes tc see and brains to reason. who will give few moments of his time to this very important and interesting demonstration will be compelled. if unabiased by selfish motives to admit. that there is either great incompetency, prejudice Of selfish- ness dominating the plumbing department of oiir city government.
 I therefore, urge every property owner in Birmine ham. to see this generous and gratuitous exhibition. to the end. that a reform may be dema nded and our people be exempted from great deal of use less, frivolous and arbitrary requirements which but serve to extort thousands of dollars from the victims of vicious plumbing requirements now in force by compulsory rues. made and enforced by reason of self interests of somebody in official circles.
 There Is certainly, much to be con- demned in the matter as it now stands, and there is a way to obtain a reform if the people are made aware of existing evils, and in right manner. set them selves to work to obtain relief
 Everybody should, therefore, go and see this Plumbers Exhibition. and be informed as to what is going on in that line, and it will then be apparent that there is as much reason for improve mcnt in the office of plumbing inspector as in that of the office of building in- spector of which all have learned tEyouRh the results of a very recent ca lamity.
