Operation in Checking
Up Work.

Warfare against bogus plumbers
who are defrauding the public OF
thousands Of dollars annually has
been declared by the Master Plum
bers' Association of the District, 1t
was announced in a statement fiom
John +. Boyland, president, today.
The statement declared that the
association has pledged it's co-opera-
ton and support to the inspector of
plumbing in checking up on the work
of plumbers who have no licenses, and
who are very much the cause of
spreading contagious diseases in the
homes caused by faulty construction
Of work"
The statement points out that the
Commissioners Of the District have
almost annually submitted to Con-
gress a recommendation for a proper
law governing Illegal practices in the
plumbing trade, but "it seems diff
cult to impress upon Congress the
necessity for such a law"
rShould the public at any time be
in doubt as to proper construction
OF plum bing' work being DONE" the
statement concludes. I'VE recommend
that they telephone or write the office
of the inspector of plumbing and re-
quest an examination of such woxk
which request will be promptly COM
piled with and without any expense
to the parties requesting same"
One nice thing about being a radi-
cal is that nobody asks you for a
