The Board of Revision have Nearly Finished Their Work. IMPORTANT AMENDMENTS TO THR EXISTING REGULA- ‘TIONS AGREED UPON—PRECAUTIONS IN THR INTER- RST OF CLEANLINESS AND HEALTH. The board for the revision of the plumbing regu- lations, appointed by the District Commissioners on Aprilé last, have nearly finished their work, ‘and in a few days the fruits of thetr six months’ ‘Work will be submitted to the Commissioners for their consideration. ‘The board have necessarily made but slow pro- gress in their work, as they have been obliged to Investigate and examine the im force in the principal cities of the country. The object for which they were appuinted, and which has guided them throughout thetr seasion, 1s to secure ‘such regulations as will be best adapted to the in- terests of the people, the trade, and the District authorities, COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD. The board 1s composed of Samuel A, Robinson, in- ‘spector of plumbing; F. V. Hayaen, superintendent of the water department; Dana C. Barber, an in- spectorin that department; Mi Dent and ‘Campbell, representatives of the Master Plumbers’ Association and the Master Plumbers’ Mutual Protective Association, and K. O’Brien, a journey- man plumber, all of them men of long practical experience in the art of plumbing. THEIR WORK. ‘The revised regulations are very comprehensive in character, and are intended not only to remedy the defects in the old regulations, but to embrace ‘gach provisions as the growth and advancement of the trade requires. Among some of the important amendments which have been made is one that will require the careful inspection of all waste and sewer pipes from the fixtures on the premises to the potnt. «where they connect. with the main sewers; another will require an inspection of the renew- ing of old service pipes and water fixtures in houses. ‘The subject of leaks in water-mains re- cetved consiaerable attentiion from the board, and they have endeavored to make the regulations in this regard so strict that when water-mains are tapped and new service-pipes connected tne pipes shall be subjected to a thorough inspection and pounds o cue square fush, so tneg wereatter here uare {ncb, 80 1 Shall be no leaks tn the mains ‘THOROUGH INSPECTION OF PLUMBERS’ WORK PROVIDED FOR. Plumbers’ work of every description will be carefully inspected, and wherever found defective ‘the plumber who id the work will be obliged to make the required change, and should he persist In’ doing carelows work tis aime will be sivicken from the list, ‘The extsti ‘ulations in this re- apcet are defective, and plumbers ean make Te- Pairs and do other work and have but small fear Of detection where they have done wrong. The board have also considered the subject of the division of the work of inspection. ‘The en- forcement of such regulations as relate to the in- troduction of water, to water-service pipes and at. ‘achments thereto outside of buildings, and to the testing of water pipes and fittings within bulld- all be by the water department, hose that reiate to earthenware pl nections of house drains with public Placed in care of the sewer departinent, ‘The regulations relating to water pipes within buildings (except testing of same) and the entire Grainage sysvem (except such portions as may be Of earthenware and the immediate connections with the public sewers) will be enforced by the In- spector of Pluinbing, and all will be under the di- rection and control of the Engineer Department, THE ACTS OF CONGRESS. ‘These regulations are made by authority of acts of 1881 and 1883.

TO FIGHT THE HANNAN CASE, In reference to the case of Hannan against the District, in which the Court in General Session has ordered the writ of mandamus to issue, the Com- missioners state that they will fight the matter to the last extremity, if necessary, or should the court deciae against Mr. Riddle when he makes his answer, as required by law, witht ten days, ‘the case will be taken t6 the Supreme Court of the District on Mr. Riddle has already applied tothe Commissioners for data upon the subject upon which to base his reply, and the engineer department commenced {the work of preparing it to-day. |The Commission. ers believe that whether of not the case ts decided against them 1t will not accomplish much good in directing the attention of the people to the mant- fest necessity for some regulations which have in view the protection of their health and, possibly, their lives, They hold that the plumber should bea workman sufiiciently intelligent and consci- entious and versed in his art to be trusted with a matter of such Vital importance, ‘THE HISTORY OF THESE REGULATIONS 1s of some interest at this time November 22, 1886, the Commisstoners received a letter trom ‘the Master Plumbers’ Association of the District, Tecummpending the, adoption of certain amend: mentsto the plumbing regulat ‘suggested that “bo person or fitia be allowed 4o register as & master or jowrneyman plumber unless he proves competency before a board of examiners to be a} polnted by the Commissioners, two from thelr of- Tee and one from the Master Plumbers’ Asyocia- Uon.” Acting upon these suggestions, the Com- missioners referred the letter oa December 2 to Capt. Symons for consideration and report, CAPT. SYMON'S REPORT. He reported to the engineer commissioner on ‘December 28, in reference tothe examination of plumbers as follows: “I think that, all wishing to become red plumbers should be exatnined. The can- (Les should be required to possess a ‘com- mon school education, « thorough pract now! of plumbing, a thorough ‘knowledge of the lations, laws and customs of the Dis- trlct of Columbia governing the water and sewer departments and plumbing work In general: and in addition he should give evidence of u knowledge of the general laws of physica, and hygience, ‘upon which correct plumbing is founded. is report was. su perint : ment, and from the inspectior of plumbing. = Cee “the ans ot Lary jon com Persons ‘thorough yuain ‘with the laws of hygiene and euitary plu VWoexamine and upon the plumbers in te District of Columbia.” The sug- gestions and recommendations coutained in these Teports were fully considered and. approved of by ihe inspector of plumbing, who said further: and con- Sewers are wi SAID TO BE IN THIS CITY. ‘The Authorities Looking for Twe of the Independente’s Passengers. ‘The authorities here are looking after the two Teallan immigrants who are said to have come from New York to this city, having landed in New ‘York from the steamer Independente.
