COSTLY PLUMBING
IN CENTER IS URGED
Permanently of Better Type
Is Pointed Out by A.
R. MCGonegal.

The use of the more costly type of
plumbing materials in the construction
of the new municipal center buildings
is suggested by A. r. McGonegal, plumb
ing inspector of the District, in his an
nual report for the last fiscal year, sub
mitted yesterday to the Commissioners.
The permanency of such plumbing,
McGonegal pointed out, was recognized
by the British government in the con-
struction of its new embassy building
in Washington. The District, he said,
well might follow the British govern
ment'S lead.
McGonegal called attention to the
courtesy shown his office by the British
government and two other foreign gov
ernments which he did not mention, by
requesting it to make an inspection of
recently installed plumbing work.
The report pointed out that plumbing
repairs and new installations during
this year cost approximately $3,225,0 900,
an increase of more than Z per cent over
the preceding year. Inspections made
during the 12-month period. he said,
totaled S29 ,524, which also is per cent
in excess of the inspection in the pre-
viouS year.

GOOD GOVERNMENT

In the United States when a man or several men conspire to defraud the Government, they are hedged in by technicalities and clever lawyers who circum- vent the law and by delays and W'hatnot, secure release of the cOnspiratOrs. The most notable case in late years being that of the Elks oil lease. Of the gang of conspirators, Secretary Fall alone seems to run the chance of looking out upon the world from behind the bars of jail.
 In Russia, the Soviet govern ment makes short shrift of such conspirators. One of the great est of crimes in that country is to defraud that government or attempt to do so, The punish ment is swift and sure.
 It might be we'll for Ameri- cans to take lessons from the Russian government in order that the slimy mess be cleaned out of America.
