 ELECTRICIANS EXAMS
(Continued from First Page)

(Contlnued from First PaSe) but is passing his charges on 20 in- constituencies.
 Informed that the resolution con- cil members, Councilman Samuel Sa- blotsky called attention to the fact that there arc no electricians in the common council and probably none who know much about electrical wiring.
 Some of them know how to pull the wires" Alderman Judd inter jected.
 T don't want any electrical en- gineers on the committee" Warner explained. You wouldn't need 10 know anything about electrical wir- ins to see the inconsistencies. As an example, one question on one paper was given mark of 5. The same question with the same answer on another paper received no credit, and on a third paper under the same conditions d mark of 1 1-2 pcihlc "d SlNtI. ttIl Spu. lHlS board has certainly gone the limit. The last question on the sheet show ed a picture of q bell, wired and with a button. The question was: Will this bell ring? If you answer ed yes you were wrong. The an- swer was: No, you must press the button'."
 Councilman Thomas E. Fay drew a laugh from the council when he remarked: I'm getting dizzy read ing about this protege of the coun- cilman from the third ward spaulding. If he thinks hc got wrong deal. he has the right to take another examination, why doesn't hc do it. There's altogether too much ballyhoo for one man."
 At the suggestion of Councilman Sablotsky, Inspector Cyril J. Curtin Wa: asked to explain whether there had been errors in the examination. Curtin said more than 400 questions were corrected in one night and 1t is possible a mistake was made. but
 
 one question marked improperly on several papers and in no case did the rectitied marking change the ap- plicant's standing.
 Councilman Warner asked what question is admitted to have been improperly marked. At this june ture Mayor Weld rapped his gavel and reminded Warner that debate with persons not members of the common council is not allowed at meetings.
 Well, I want to ask him that question through you, then,' War ner shot back.
 The rules of the council don't allow me 10 debate any more than anyone else" Mayor Weld declared as he rapped his gavel signalizing the closing of the incident.
 The motion to appoint commit tee was passed without dissent.
 Members of the examining com mittee, informed Of Warmers state ment concerning the bell which. rings only when the button is push ed, laughed heartily.
 If such a question appears on the papers, it came on of it's own accord; it certainly wasn't put there by the committee and so far we haven't seen it." spokesman for the examiners said.
 Inspector Curtin met Councilman Warner after the meeting and in- formed the city official there was no such question on the papers. where upon Warner said his information had come from man named An drews."
 In explanation Of the mistake made on some papers, it was eX- plained several code books were in use In making the markings and it later developed that the check-up on some papers was made with q ed against q 1926 code, and both gave different answers 10 the same question. If q question was partial 1 ly correct a part of the fivepoint | credit was allowed. The judgment i of the examiners and that of Councilman Warner does not agree on several points and that may ac- rount for some of the other errors mentioned, the building committee asserted.
 Councilman Boyle is the first nam ! cd on the committee to revise rules 1 of the counsel and will probably be , the chairman, Other members of the | committee are: Aldermen William II. Judd, John r. Maerz. Walter Falk, Counci'men Samuel Sablots sky, [ Donald L. Bartlett and C. Adrian 1rlcOD
