DISHONESTY HINT
 IN SPAULDING CASE
{Continued from First Pase)

tConunued from First PaRe) marked points.
 "A. Aparos' answer was. radius of the bend shall not be less than one and one-half inches marked 5 points.
 "L. Toczko's answer was 45 de- gress, marked points. Why? Forty-f1ve degrees is one-half of a right angle, enough to break any cable covering. yet he gets full credit. Is it because he drives the chief electrician's car?
 Joseph Wrokchko's answer was, three inches or more, marked 5 points.
 "Nels Nelson's answer was two and one-half inches marked 5 points.
 "H. Billings answer was, the smallest bend should not be less than one and one-half inches for B X cable marked 0.
 IS. Y. Spaulding's answer was, one which has radius Of not small Ter than two and one-half inches, marked 0. It is granted that this is not the code book answer but Nels Nelson received points for this same answer, and Yonan and Joseph Wrokchko each received points for three-inch radius. Why the dis elimination?
 ITO further show the inability of the electrical examining board to correct the examinations let me state that Mir. Day as referee marked Spaulding 661s where the board only gave 63ia points. This Is not sim ply an addition of three points or one question. It is the remarking ot four different questions as follows Question II, commission 5, Mr. Da! 91a; question 16, commission 5, Mr Day 1; question IS, commission 0 MT. Day 5: question 20, commission q, Mir. Day 25. On this last ques- ton number 20, one-half the ques- ton was: How far apart should wires be kept carrying no volts? The question is incomplete in that il does not state whether knob. tube or cleat work was meant. s. Y spaulding's answer, however, stated Knob work five inches at 1lo volts. This Is exactly as per code book but he received 0 points, and again ask why?
 "I understand the examining board has asked the building com. mission to be relieved of further an noyance from Mir. Spaulding. To my way of thinking the examining board should be glad of the op' portunity 10 correct the position IT which they must now find them selves.
