Importance of Additional Funds lor Keeping Men at Work Ex plained by Department Head. THE MORNING OREG ONI AN, FRIDAY, NOVE3IBER 7, 1919. Doubl he S If curtailment of the force of men engag1 in building:, plumbing and electrical inspection in new buildings becomes necessary by failure of the two-mill emergency tax measure ta pass at the special city election next Wednesday, it will mean a slowing up of the building and house-construction programme in various parts of the city, according to City Commis sioner Barbur. The present force. Mr. Barbur gays, will be unable to keep up with the inspections necessary during the progress of buildings. "Tha building inspection depart ment is requited to make certain in spections, to cUeck plans and to see that wiring, plumbing and construc tion are safe and up to the require ments in all structures." said Mr. Bar bur. "The force now employed is far behind in its work and is arranging inspections so as to eliminate delays in buildings. We have endeavored' to work so that no actual work would be held up. IfiNpertiona Are Ijnggliig. "In carrying out this programme the department has dropped about two months behind in inspections that should and must ultimately be made before completion of the buildings. With a curtailment of the force of men engaged in this, we will be un able to keep up, and the result will be that buildings will be delayed. This is an inspection work that should be kept up to the- letter in order to safeguard health and life, but it cannot be done without men to do it." Mr. Barbur says the electrical in spection is far behind, as is also the plumbing inspection. The work, he says, must be inspected before being inclosed in the plastering or sealing up of the wails, as failure of proper inspection encourages poor work and endangers the building. "The building programme for next year is much greater than that of this year, judging from pros pects," continued Commissioner Bar bur. "With the force now employed in this department, we .are doing about 15 per cent more work each day than the much larger force engaged in the work a few years ago. It is obvious that with increased work we cannot keep up, and hence the build ing and construction must be re tarded. "If we are able to increase our force sufficiently, or even be relieved of the necessity of losing some of our pres ent force, there need not be a min ute's delay next year in any building so far as the building inspection is concerned. If, on the other hand, we have to reduce our force, there is no telling what the difficulties may be. Item C'oiiMiclerpfi Small. "Building inspection is not a large item in city expenses, but it is one of the many smalljtems that make a big item in the end. As the city's financial status now appears, there can be but one answer if this two-mill emergency tax measure fails to carry, and that is the cutting of every de partment. It cannot be confined to one department, but each must suffer Its share." BRITONS' VIEWS GHANGINSi CONSERVATIVES EYES OPEN- SAYS ENGLISH VISITOR. Former Member of Parliament, Ad dressing Keed Students, Voices Hope for Ireland. "For the first time in history the conservative party of Great Britain is changing its mind on many ques tions," said A. F. Whyte in an ad dress yesterday on "Changing Eng land" before a Reed-college audience. Mr. Whyte, formerly a member of the British parliament, university man and editor of New Europe, now study ing conditions in this country, proved himself so interesting to Reed stu dents that an additional hour was taken to discuss questions with the speaker. Mr. Whyte outlined after-war con ditions which are effecting changes in the political and industrial life of Great Britain. No feature of the address was re ceived with more interest than the speaker's views on the Irish question. "As a lifelong believer in home rule for Ireland." he said, "I think that in spite of present unrest in Ireland a satisfactory solution of the problem will be made which will unite and not separate Ireland and Great Britain. X believe this because British con servatives have had their eyes opened ty the action of the allies in behalf of small nations."
