dinances. Are you insisting plumb
ing already installed being torn
out2 Wire answer"
In answer to the last telegram
the city has wired that of 203 houses
being erected in the city, eight
have plumbing partially installed
and the city desires to have this
plumbing taken out and replaced in
such manner as to comply with city
laws
Produce Ensanitary Conditions.
Regarding iron service pipes in
the streets the city states that ap-
proximately all water service
pipes in the streets have been in
stalled throughout the housing pro-
ject and that approximately one
half of the work was completed by
the use of iron pipe. The city is not
particularly anxious to have this
matted adjusted at this time, but
statement is made that it is desired
to have the iKon pipe taken up and
replaced with lead pipe before paw
ing is put in. Reason for this is
that the iron pipe will soon rust out
which would make il necessary to
tear up pavement in order to put
in repairs. Plumbing in the houses
is being fought for the reason that
the city plumbing inspector has
held that the plumbing placed acA
cording to corporation standards
will bring about unsanitary condi-
tions. Improper connections of
pipes leading to the bath room as
connected with the kitchen sink is
cited in the stand taken.
