up the contract. He has three
helpers, each receiving SIS week

Objects To Code
| When the matter Of adopting the
proposed electricians code came
up, George Hulstrunk arose and
objected to the code on the
grounds, he said. that although
master electricians and Journey
men workers were required to pass
examinations, helpers were not
and as result he said. contractors
could go ahead and do the work
and hire four or FIVE helpers and
the journeymen would be out Of
work. He said that many cleo
tricians In town knew nothing
about details of the code as he
understood there were only four
copies and these were In the hands
of burgesses.
Il was decided to publish the
code three times in a local news
paper giving all a chance to see
what it Is like. Borough Attorney
