Three Cases OF Stubbornncss
Encountered by inspectors;
Honor Roll Grows

Radio interference seekers have
entered the schools and hospitals and
have found a mess of trouble. some Of
the worst sources Of turning reception
into squawks. in the city.
In the Bismarck eight motors have
been found responsible for interior
encc, in st. Alexius five. All will be
set Alright.
In the schools mechanical stokers
have been found to be producing a lot
of the trouble. The board is setting
about remedying the faults Of these
devices.
The state capitol also has been
found to be a big sourcc Of the exist
ing trouble.
Some of the physicians have COM
piled with the city ordinance and
have had their motors. x-ray and
violet ray devices screened in by tight
meshed copper wirecloth. Household
violet ray devices are, however, con-
tinuing interference.
The Western Union had its office
s-xe4d plant made mountaineering at
q lot OF expense. 1t was one Of the
biggest radio remedying jobs OF the
present cleanup Of the ether.
Few Cases Of Rebuffs
The trouble seekers, L. M. Parks and
Curtis Dirlam. arc continuing their
survey. They have covered consider
able household inspection and now
are engaged in inspection Of the hos
pitfalls. They encountered opposition
at one private institution Of this
character, but Building Inspector M.
H. Atkinson insisted on the city Or
dinance being respected. A question OF
whether this institution has the right
to function as q hospital is involved
and there may be q test Of the city
radio regulating ordinance if access
to the premises is not conceded.
Two other cases Of legal action are
possible. but the disposition Of the
city authorities is to get results with
out any friction and ultimately these
cases arc expected to be adjusted
a1micably, when the recalcitrants
realize how hopelessly they arc in the
minority in o~btusenesS.
The disposition of the general pub
lie is to allow inspection and when
any source that is interfering with
the radio is asccrtained, to have 1t
rectified. Inspector Atkinson reported
to the city commission Monday eve
ninc. His honor roll has been con-
siderably increased and when cleo
tricianS can esurnc operations on the
interference more names will be added.
Other Cities Copy Ordinance
For the present, however. it is i'm
possible to get service from the vari-
Gus electrical shops of the city. All
arc busy figuring on bids for the Cleo
trical installation contract on the
community building.
Meanwhile the Bismarck ordinance
is being adopted widely throughout
the state. City Attorney G. L. Young
gave almost q years study to framing
it and it is considered q rather up
to-date, water-tight piece Of legisla-
ton.
