CITY INSPECTION IS CLAIM Councilman Says Supervisor Needed To Enforce Bund ing Regents. : "Salem is the Only city of its siv.c in the United States without a plumbing or sanitary inspector," declared a city alderman this morning, "and unless something is done to remedy this con dition, with all the remodelling and building now going on, serious conse quences may follow,". As matters now stand in the city, there is no inspection of plumbing or even )il the sanitary eductions of buildings, or whether those now under construction comply with ordinary san itary, laws. Anyone may be his own plumber and no one will interfere. .-vt tho last meeting of the city couk. oil, Alderman Gerald Vollt called at tention to the fact that the plumbers of rthe city were .not complying; with the city ordinance passed in 1913 re quiring nil plumbers to .pay an annual license of $20. A motion was iutroduc-' cd by Mr. Volk, and approved by the council, that hereafter the ordinance should bo enforced. ' The records of the city treasurer show tlit after the passing of the 1913 ordinance, the plumbers paid their licenses for two or three years but in 1910 only two complied with the law. After early in 191(5, he plumbers en tirely disregarded the law. They claimed that as there was no plumbing or even sanitary inspector, there was no use in paying the license of $20 i The nlumbers also claim that they would be more than willing to pay the " u 11 lule wn!l B i"-a mspcviui. n the matter now stands witn tne law not pen3 emorcea, any ouisiae nrm ma) come into the citv and 'by a low bid i a P'umouig laal wouia jail to pass a !. inpetor.
