of the Violators corrected the

had to keep after some of them"
Fifteen violators were arrested,
"the last resort" and five were
convicted. Penalty for fire code
violation may be as high as S100
fine and 80 days in Jail. Some
of those arrested were accused
of unattended burning or unli-
censed blasting.

that he invoked the last re-

license revocation because cts a
pretty serious thing when you
close down a mans means of

Larger Staff Needed
Asking for an additional fire
inspector, Mr.. Howe says, "Just
the mere fact that a lot of store
owners know that we come
periodically to inspect encour-
ages them to comply with the
CODE" The Fire Marshall proud
ly points to statistics that indi-
cate of the county's 731 building
fires last year, only 65 were in
structures inspected by Mr.. Howe
and his men.
Since January l the Fire Mar.
shallS office has taken over
inspection of the approximately
200 buildings within Rockville.
Upon discovering a violation of
the fire or electrical codes, Mr.
Howe notifies the Middle De
partment of Fire Underwriters
Association which performs its
own inspection. If the violation
is not corrected within "a reason
able time" the association with,
draws the buildings electrical
permit, making insurance i'm
possible to obtain.
Current Shut-Off Asked
At this point the job of en-
forcement falls to Mr.. Rapp
His policy, since assuming the
city engineers job in April, has
been to send a letter to the Pc
tomac Electric Power Company
requesting that current to the
violating property be cut off.
Pepco official, Robert Wilson
indicates that though his office
co-operates with town authorities
by pressuring the property
owner to correct infringements
the company will not shut off
electricity until a court defines
it right to do so.
Mr.. Rapp is also awaiting
Qualification of his power before

his power to condemn, by re-
questing that the Mayor and

closed up. OF the five major
Wolators in Rockville, three have
run far beyond their 80 day grace
period without correcting the
