Lucia left the house. 1t was eight

were glowing, her eyes sparkling with
excitement. A young girl with a
glossy marcel rose from the very desk

< DIFFICULT EXAM,

Just as there are two sides 10 every story there are two sides to this exauiratton business which the building commission has instituted % guard the city against tncompe- tent craftsmen. When f happens that one 0: the gentlemen on the board attempts 10 pass one of the boards examinations, and has 10 go through the ordeal under the ron- de-plutne ot mere number, the result Is not guaranteed q perfect example Of personal efficiency. Which is hy way Of commenting, II such 8 thing is reasonably possible, upon the failure of Thomas ". Hinchliffe representing the electri- cal craft on the building commis- sion. to pass the examination.
 Hinchiiffe, 1t Is to be hoped, will do better when he tackles the next examination in April. IL IS too bad that he did not go through the last examination with an average at least higher than that made by Cyril J. Curtin. the electrical in- spector whose resignation was due 10 motion he originated, Mean time Hinchliffe canhot obtain per mits to do electrical work from the office Of the board upon which he sits; If he doesn't pass the test in April the embargo on permits will continue. A month devoted to con- centrated study of electrical mat matters, however. should help. There is at least reason to hope that the April test will be more fruitful Of success,
 It is gratifying to note that Mason P. Andrews, the electrical inspector who succeeds Curtin, passed the examination with 95 points. having a comfortable lead over both Joseph P. Barry and Cur tin, although the latter pair were well above the passing mark of 70. Andrews high, mark should indi- cate he is thoroughly conv"rsant with hts business. and If he cau aC- auire an equally high rating as a civic executive he should make . successful inspector.
