BUILDING Commission
WANTS TO Be PROBED
May Ask Council Tonight
to Conduct Inves-
tigation

When the building commission
submits to the common council to-
night suggestion that a permanent
deputy building inspector, and depu-
lies for the electrical and plumbing
inspectors he appointed, a lengthy
communication will accompany the
request and from a ere eIitab,c source
il became known today 4 suggestion
will be made therein that the COM
mon council conduct n general probe
OF the building department.
This action comes somewhat as n
surprise, although it is known the
department did not take kindly to Il
contemplated probe agitated before
the last session OF the common COun-
ell but not carried out. The COM
munication to be offered tonight Is
expected 10 carry the signature of
Richard B. Niets. who is chairman
OF the building commission.
! The building commission and de-
partment apparently feel the criti-
cism that has come out OF recent eX-
posurcs in construction is not war
rantcd Insofar as It affects the de-
rartmcnt and are willing to submit
to an investigation.
There are now two building in
spcCtors, one OF whom works on a
part time basis rs far as salary is
concerned, but who has found 1t
necessary TO work more hours than
The working day outlined in the
ordinances. There are no deputies
for the plumbing and electrical In
spcctors.
Basing its claim on the charter
grant OF full police powers TO in
spectors Of the building depart
mcnt, that department today de-
Tended the action Of Building In
spcctor Arthur y. Rutherford in
condemning hlcachcrs situated IN
the town Of Berlin as being with
in his jurisdiction.
Mayor A. NJ. Paoncssa was in
doubt as to whether the depart
mcnt had authority TO act in that
part of Willow Brook park which
is located In the town OF B"rlin.
At the 1928 session of the gen
cral assembly authority was given
the city TO police not only that Sec
ton Of the park within the city
limits, but also the corner which
lies in Berlin. Pointing to this pro
vision and also to the charter sec
ton which vests inspectors with

iA1itchell, president of the National
City Bank of New York, yesterday
admitted that negotiations have been
successfully concluded for an exten-
stve American loan to the German
Rentenbank Credit Institution, Ger
Nnany's new agrarian loan bank. He
declined, however. to indicate the size
of the loan or its terms. He said it
would be issued in blocks as required
by German agrarian interest and
would be devoted exclusively to pro-
noting German agricultural produc-
tion in all phases.
The governing council of the agra
rian bank VIII meet today to ratify
the loan, which is the only formality
how required to complete the deal
with an American banking group,
headed by the National City Bank.
Mr.. Mitchell said that it was plan
ned to issue the loan at SO, allowing
n margin of 5 per cent for incidental
charges and commissions. The initial
interest rate has been set as per
cent, although Berlin financial circles
estimate that the interest will be ap-
proximately 812 per cent If the loan
runs 25 years.
The first instalment of the loan will
consist of an immediate advance of
25,0O0.0 900. .,.r-t.
