Do you remember two years ago when the City Council voted to ask all the Ia~yers in the city to cooperate m revising the city charter and ordi- n.ness7 And do you recall how six months ago another attempt to get the work done in the same way was made, but the task never carried out ? Thus the charter is no better and the ordinznees no more enforceable than they have been for several years past. Many ordinances which cannot be en- forced still remain on fhs books, and others are So sntiqusted that they dc not apply at all to present conditions.
 This delinquency ts not entirely the fault of the lawyers. There should have been some direetiong head ~p- pointed by the city to supervise the work and keep it moving. The law yers are too busy to spend very much time on the charter. yet have twice siznifed their willingness to do this piece of public and patriotic service.
 Last spring the Chamber of Com H1eree suggested tha, the council make a special appropriation of si,- 900 and have the work done by an expert, but this was not voted nor turned down. A committee was ap- pointed 70 get the aid of the lawyers in a concerted effort to fix up the charter.
 No meetings of the lawyers conn mittee was ever held because there was no one in charge 10 call it.
 Beginning this week The Patriot will publish series of articles, deal ing with different sections of the charter and ordinances and suggest ing changes and improvement. This week we are considering the building ruies

PUTNAM JUNIOR

ute book that before undertaking con- stfuetion work a permit must be se- cured from the council. The statute as it now stands does not attach any penalty fl permit Is not secured, and consequently the city has been unable to enforce 1t. Several times local peo- pie have built structures without tile permission of the city fathers, and de- spite the storminzs of the aldermen the structures stood and no penalty was imposed.
 The petitions for building permits which the council receives are usually turned over to the highway committee for investigation. When this comrait- tee makes it's investigation the work is generally hardly started and the committee concerns itself for the most part in seeing that the location of the structure Is satisfactory. The actual construction work of the building ean- not be looked into.
 Decrease in Fires
 4 city building inspector with full pOgEer of enforcing a workable set of building laws, Is needed for this job There could be no cracked floor beams, poor wiring or poor plumbing put into a house. No longer would there be danger Of fire from a non-insLi4ted unprotected light wire pa sslng through partitions. Such an inspection system would save the residents in fire losses az much as t would cost.
 4 coda might easily be made up by inquiry from other cities as to wiat rules they Use, or possibly some staIsi- ard code would he found which could be adopted. It would be found that nearly all cities of the size af Putnam have strict building laws and a build ing inspector. They realize that their futures darlGnd it.
