U ted during 1M. lie . said that the board was not yet certain that oieh usj-i.tant.s would be necessary but if the occasion demanded they would be selected. The salary of the building commissioner is $2.000 a year, and of the city electrician $1..'0 a year. The ordinance does not provide wtiat jalarlen hall he paid to assistants in the building oepartr nent. and it is interpreted to fnean that the hoard of works shall use its judgment in this regard. lUnnl Will i -loose. In examining the applicants for the positions, the committee will saht 'it Its piestions and th names of t.'ose who receive a grade of over 0 r. r cnt shall b submitted to th board of public works. The board must choose the building

commissioner and electrician from

the mn having the four highest grades. The building commissioner must furnish bond of fi'.OOO and his assistant? bonds of $1,000. I'nder the ordinance the building commissioner must be a man of good standing, have had five years' experience as an architect, structural engineer, or master builder, or shall have nerved an eiual time in such similar occupations as will have qualified him for the duties of the po.-ition. The city electrician must have had two years' experience as an electrician or in electrical construction work. I'nder the ordinance either the building' commissioner and city electrician will not be compelled to undergo examination if they already

I occupy the position and be reappointed by the board.

Knowledge of construction of buildings, calculation of strength of materials, strength of truss, stability of an arch, design or reinforced concret". ability to make practical application of all such knowledge of the duties of supervisor of mechanical work on buildings and of the laws of sanitation as applied to buildings, is required of the building commissioner. The ' building (ode ordinance goes into effect March 1 and at that time the man selected to hold the otlice of building" commissioner will have been selected and will assume his duties. I'res't Morris anticipates th? t the office now occupied by the city electrician and the city sealer on the second Jloor of the city building will be used hy the building department. This will necessitate the moving 'of the city sealer's office to

some other part of the building.
