re erence to the Building Departe ! "" igat ion discloses that while there are very few major building projects under wayf pet, atbthe present time, there are an ununwil number of minor repair U.jobs and that the recently erectedUelectric code devolves a great number of= additiomal: duties upon the electrical inspectors. nless the inspections are kept UP to the present standard, there is a possibility of a let -down affecting the insurance rates of the city *" We have,therefore considered it advisable to maintain the present force in the Building:Department* However, all men in this department have taken a substantial reduction over and above the 0ouncills recommendation, which schedule is a follows:" Old Income Per Year New Schedule of Income' Building Commissioner 955120, 0 V4bnn . oU Chief Electrical Inspector 3220.00 . 2250.'00' " Assistant Building'Oommissioner 2920.00 2000000 Three Inspectors 2520.00 1800.00` One Clerk 1800:00 1320.00' This, as you see, will effect a saving. in this department of $6450.100.' We have five men in this department whose cars are in use practically all the time, and it has been their experience that the life of a-oar is only about two years, in this, work: Under the above proaposal, these men agree to fur4ish and maintain their own cars.' All of the above changes, from the Council's recommendations, have been gone into in detai with the Council's Committee on Fees and salaries and have met with their unanimous approval.` Xe would therefore ask that if you agree with these changes, that the Common Council be request to sanction the above modification cf their original resolutions": Respectfully submitted, .Board of Public Works, By Geo.` A.'
