Alexandra Is Told
Building Agencies
Work Is Related

Consolidation Of three Alex
andria inspection departments
into a single Office of building
and coming regulation is recon-
mended in the latest of a series
Of municipal government re-
ports made public today.
The reports are part Of a
$4,000 administrative survey of
Alexandria by the government
consulting service of the Univer-
sity Of Pennsylvania.
The report. released today by
City Manager Ira willard, deals
with operation Of the city's va
rious building inspection agen-
cies. There are SO separate rec
concentrations for improving the
service and effectiveness of in
spections.
Three Departments Involved.
The surveys found that Alex
andria building inspection func-
tons currently are divided
among three departments-De-
partment of Construction and
Inspection, Plumbing Inspection
Department. and Electrical In
spection Department. The major
recommendation is that the func-
tons and personnel of these
three departments be merged.
'These inspection functions
are closely related in purpose
and require related skills and CO.
ordinated inspections" the re-
port says. Moreover, more eff
cient use Of inspection personnel
can be accomplished through
consolidation of the functions"
1t also is recommended that
a permanent Board of Stand
ards and Appeals be created in
place of the wholly inadequate
temporary appeal board" This
new board would be empowered
to make binding decisions in
cases involving requests for
variations from the inspection
code. The report suggests that
the new board should be ap-
pointed by the city manager.
Appointment Of a field super
wiser is proposed to solve ION the
spot" inspection problems and
to spot-check projects in the
field for accuracy of reports. EN-
ployment Of one additional
plumbing inspector also is rec
commended.
The report states that the
head of the new inspections de-
partment should serve directly
under the city manager. instead
Of under the city engineer. At
present the building inspector
comes under the city engineer.
the report states.
Five Qualifications Suggested.
The report recommends five
minimum qualifications for vari-
Gus positions in the city's in
spection services, including: the
building inspector should be a
registered professional engineer
or a thoroughly experienced
superintendent Of construction;
an inspector should have expert
ence in a construction trade
but no two inspectors should
have their experience in the
same trade. na
The report suggests that the
department should keep a, list
of the contractors names
who invariably do substandard
work" and inspectors should be
alerted with greater than normal
care in the inspection of such
contractors work.
