ROLL UP SLEEVES ON HEATING CODE Steamfitters and Council . Com- mittee Tackle Regulations | Approximately 30 master a Journeymen steamfitters and heat-| 1ug engineers attended the first| meeting of the ordinance committee for the purpose of discussing the| proposed heating code. at City Hail | last night, the session lasting from | 8 oclock until 11:20. | Every point in the code prepared | by Deputy Building Inspector Thomas B. Fay was gone into, item by item, and consideration was also| given to a code offered by Martin | J. Kelly and one presented by tk master steamfitters. After the heal ing, the committee decided to mecet next Tuesday evening at 7:30 o'clock | te act on other matters referred by | the common council, and give as| much time as can be given to a| discussion of the code. In all prob- abllity, two or more committez meetings will be necessary before | another public meeting is held, the ! plan being to prepare a code in| committee and then submit it to the steamfitters for discussion be- fore offering it to the common council for adoption as an ordinance. Examinations and Licenses One of the important points dis- | cussed at some length was the plan for examining journcymen steam- fitters and licensing them. Mr. Kelly was strongly in favor of a li- | cense arrangement and others pres- ent agreed,' but James T. O'Connor and Claude J. Leroux were opposed | 1o it. Mr. Kelly objected to having left with the building commission | the duty of qualifying steamfitters, | and others thought it advisable to | have an examining committee of three or more men actively engaged in the trade. Building Inspector A. N. Rutherford said it was the in- tention of the building commission | to have an examining board, similar | te that which funetions tn the mae- | ter of plunbers’ license: “Shoe Stringers" | Mr. Kelly declared that some | builders in this city have been | known to install heating systems al- though they were not qualified to do the work. He also referred to| *“shoe stringers” who take building contracts and leave the sub-contrac- | tors unpaid while they step out with their. own profits. He struck out against any requirement for having blue prints submitted by heating | contractors and it was explained | that pencil sketches would be suffi- | cient. | There was a long discussion about | covering pipes leading from cellar | hoilers, some of the steamfitters | contending that it would be improper to attempt to compel property own- | ers to have pipes covered if they | wished them uncover while others fAlt there should be a re-| quirement for covering. Mr. 0'Con- | nor told of one local man who tore the covering off the pipes and threw | It in the rubbish pile be e the floors of his home were not warm enough.” Mr. O'Connor also spok against hair felt covering, saying it was antiguated. having been proven “a fine place for rats to crawl up through.” Identifying a Steamfitter Gate valves, check valves, risers, flues, radiators, runouts, drips, feeds, hang: fittings, return lines and dozens of other technical terms were used in discussing the varions features of the code, and some dif- ferences of opinion resulted, al- though none of u serious nature. Mr. Kelly and Inspector Fay had one tilt which did not ruffle the feel- ings of either for any length of time, and Mr. O'Connor provided the bulk of comedy, notably when Mr. Kelly wanted to know how a Journeyman steamfitter was to be and Mr. O'Connor re- | By a pair of dirty overalls BOOTLEGGERS OF COFFEF.

Representative Tilson of Cobnecticut, republican leader in the house, and Senator Smoot, republican, Utah, have spok- cn in favor of an extra session to consider pressing problems. In speeches during the campaign Smoot said he thought that the road to ag- ricultural uplift lay through tariff revision, Senator McNary's bill is believed to conform closely to President Coolidge's idea of what a farm re- lief measure should be. It revolves around a farm board, | consisting of six members appeinted | by the president, and the secretary {of agriculture, A" fund of $300,000,- 600 for financing purposes would be | given the board and stabilization corporations would be formed to aid in the disposal of surplus crops.
