EXTRA
 BUILDING INSPECTOR
(Continued from First Page)

the General Statutes provides that the building inspector either by himself or some person appointed by him shall inspect all the build- ings described in Section sS2l-2623 and 2624 which includes all public buildings, hotels, lodging houses. tenement houses and practically all structures in the city at least once in each year.
 "In addition to these very far reaching statutes we also have hun- dreds of inspections that should be be systematically inspected for all defects. and in this connection it would be appropriate at this time to call your attention to a case settled yesterday in favor of the plaintiff for several hundred dollars. where the plaintiff was awarded sev- eral thousand dollars because of de- fective porches. In this connection II might point out that with additional inspectors this condition might still exist. but we cannot escape the fact that the state law provides that we shall inspect, and it is my opinion that q systematic inspection should be made of all structures and a rec ord kept of condition of each struc- ton and ordering of necessary changes. I am of the opinion that there are many buildings in need of additional safeguards being ordered.
 Tt appears with the present deputy building inspector being as- signed very shortly to heating in- kspector, that this commission should at least bring this matter to the at- Etention of the common council and request an additional inspector. l would therefore recommend that the common council be appraised of the situation and recommend that an additional inspector be requested for this special risk inspector.
 Respectfully.
