PLUMBING INSPECTOR By the City Council--It Discusses _ Several Matters of Importance to i the Citizens, The following statement is made £ by plumbers Hi Board of Health of our city : months ago had an ice com- 'pany before the court for harvesting a prohibited section, and ir had an ice dealer before the for shipping it out of the city. shows that our Board of Health 'some power, and in these cases it.. But what about the meeting, ; hey recommended to Ci'y Council the appointment of a sani- tary and plumbing inspector. Are they not going to use some of their er in 'this ease? In looking after jes question, we commend them forthe good tliey accomilished, still, we feel that the good accomplished will naturally be enjoyed mostly by the people of means, as no or few working people can afford ice this season, for work is so limited, and is being shared by foreigners. + Now the time goes on, and on, and apparently the Board of Health. is not going to do anything more than to suggest there should be a plumb- ing inspector. Of course the City Counell say they have no money, to spare for that purpose this year; well it's no wonder, only lately the fire chief asked that 4 men be added to bis department, and likewise the po- lice department had extra men ad- ded. Now why were these men taken on? not because there was any ac- tnal work for these men to do. No hut fer fear something might hap- pen that they may be needed. Of course till that day or night comes, they are being hoth clothed and paid and the City Council pay them. It's gueer how they can do it when their money is so limited. In employing a plumbing inspector the council would be getting him before he is ac- r needed. There is certainly plen- al times, for a good experienc- umber, who would know from | experience his work. In fact, Id have been on the job long ago: The City Council, however, say it, t afford to pay a plumbing in- or this year. Now, in our minds, very doubtful if council would _any money to pay an inspector this kind, even in the hap-hazard way the its have been issuea and the inspection of this work has been go on, the city collects hundreds of dollars from this source every year: feel that if a good live prac- vical phi; r wire ut' on as inspec- tor, woul enough per- wits: in & yéar'to more than pay him a reasonable salary, -and in this way cost the City Council nothing. There is no doubt, whatever, that there are hufidreds of jobs done ev- efy year that a permit has not been taken out for. It would be no trouble at all for a practial plumber to cite cases of this kind in aJmost any part of the city, - . The Plumbers Union Local, 221, would also like to suggest that the plumbers all be charged a license 10 do work in the city, as they know that a good 'deal of the defective work would be stopped in this way. At present, it is nothing out of (he ordinary, to ee a baker, shoemaker, butcher, sailor, doctor, soldier, mini- ster, insuranee agent, undertaker, or even an old maid, doing their own or somebody else's plumbing. We see the Board of Health has suggested that the milk agents be prevented from delivering milk un- less it is in bottles, Of course, as us- ual, the poor working man will oe asked then 10 pay more for his milk, 1 the poorer classes are known, io the larger families, they will naturally aulter the mest. Milk sold b , might not stand the well, but we venture to say, same milk were tested when . has reached the table of some of the hoarding houses, or restaurants, ca- fes, hotels or even private tables, it would show it to be of a still lower However, unless a plumbing e is appointed soon, there surely be a grand opening in Kingston for a bottle making con- cern, for there are plenty of other things that should be in bottles as well as milk, especially in houses, where soll pipes are defective where they pass through pantries or where refrigerators are wrongly conifected to the waste pipes. We have seen no report yet from the new sanitary inspector, but ex- pect to see a mighty big one some ti There will surely be & long story needed to explain the ansapitary condition of some of the people live, ¥iz., on Street and where foreigners stay in the vicinity of the Kingston tannery and smelters and box cars notice that this year, F proclaimed three days days, This we consider and feel that a great 'has been accomplished Way.

But should not the Utilities as other em- ployers supply suchv convenienees. They could be temporarily connected to any ordinary ggate on the street and be made sanitary, and in no way objectionable at a very small cost.. We have seen ne report yet from the new sanitary inspector, but ex- pect to see a mighty big one some of these days, There will surely be a long story needed to explain the une sanitary conditions of some of the properties where people live, viz, on Ontario street and where foreigners stay in the vicinity. mw» * Another thing needed is to have water bubblers put on the hydrants for drinking purposes. It is surely mean employers who would not sup- ply drinking water for . their em- ployees in the hot summer days. The bubblers don't need to be of the ever-running. type as are used se common by the Utilities. aro town. ey are 100 extravagant the water to expect these for work" ing people. These are self closing styles made that will only allow wa- ter to run while they are held open: By the way, would not the city cause a big saving in water if this self-closing style of valve were used on all the public water troughs and drinking places in the city. We see the commissioners have made a large saving in buying the season's supply of coal. Saving wa- ter means saving coal as it takes coal to pump the water. The water savea by the above mentioned bubblers in the course of a"year would mean many tons of coal or many dollars and also mean we would not have to increase the pumping capacity so soon. It looks as though after a very long delay there will at last be a water pipe laid to the city dump at the end of Bagot street. Well certainly can't be put into use too s And we all hope that it will have the desir- ed effect. Cataraqui Ward certainly has all others" stopped for flavors. We can't understand why any alder- man would suggest to limit' the hours for dumping rubbish. Surely it is a blessing to get such like out of the congested parts and is it not a double: blessing to get the dump filled up as soon as possible. The Good Book says don't put off till to- morrow that which can be done to- day. When the new water pipe reach- es the dump we will then expect to see in a short time a nice large lawn on the parts that is filled to the de- sired height. Surely this expettation will not be looked upon as 00 extra- vagant. Probably some of those sign boards could be aranged for, or trees or shrubs planted about, mostly any- thing would be an improvement for it couldn't possibly look worse than at present. It gertainly is an awful sight to be in plain view of his royal high- ness and others going and coming Lato our city, a sight they can't possibly miss owing to its. extra strong odor. Could not our medical health officer or mew sanitary inspector 'suggest something not so expensive that could be used to redyce this disagreeable odor 7 If not probably some of 'the fessional - men of Queen's would now of something. . It's too bad to contaminate the air, as has heen done in this vicinity, and expect. taxes fro the ratepayers. And those poor: people in: the Home for the Aged, whom we don't expect to be among us long, what about them ? Men and wo- men from all = over ' the city spend hours and hours looking ter the comforts of these aged people in the many other ways. Is there anythi shape of amusements and' treats a 4 is more" necessary for them than good, | fresh air? Well, we're - sure goody fresh air like they used to get before the dump was started there would be very much' appreciated. It has been recommended by the Fire aud Light committee that a building inspector be appointed and suggested tht 'thé plumbing inspection be at tached to his duty. There is no doubt but that building and plumbing in- spection is needed, but we feel that Tt | would be impossible to combine the | two duties: and expect both done well, it would be just as reasonable, in fact more 80, to say that the firemen do the policemen's work, or vice versa. These two class of men can be readily secured at any ime, as really no ex- perience is needed to take their jobs; size and age seem to be about all the qualifications necessary for these jobs. It don't matter whether xopr occupa- tion has been sailing, farming or any thing in particular. But not so with a plumbing inspector or a building in spector. Some buildings have, uo doubt, been very poorly built. This cap be very plainly seen by the fire I'S report, that thres or four fires Hhuve been caused lately by faulty buildings, : Now: if a person whose time 18 as limited at a burning building as a fire shiel's, can see huildings' faults, they surely must be built very badly. Now, how many faults could a mechanic {who has® spent all his life around buildings in construction see ? Sure we | venture to say he could see ever so many 'from the street cars. We don't see where he reports any fires caused by faully plumbing. Oh, no ! You bet he don't.
