 Councilman Charles Bradley asked if Curtin is merely house wiring electrician or can also inspect mo- tors, Chairman WeNler replied that Inspecting motors is not necessary, but Curtin has proved an expert on the installation of motors and is thoroughly acquainted with the laws and fire regulations pertaining to this type of electricity.
