Controversy Over City Ordinance On Electrical Contractors Aired A controversy over a city ordinance regulating electrical contractors was aired in a meeting of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen Tuesday night No immediate decision was reached At issue was a provision of a new regulatory ordinance requiring that contractors Who work regularly in Kingsport maintain an office inside Uie city limits Mayor John and eral other members of the Board said they did not realize such a requirement was included in the ordinance when it was passed They said they had not intended to discriminate against properly qualified contractors from outside the city Several contractors in the section who had sat through three hours of other business in order to be present when the nance was discussed spoke in of the present law They said a contractor who sets up just out- side the city limits pays much lower rent and no city taxes can underbid those in the city and is unfair competition They added that without the law there would be no way to prevent fly-by-night electricians from in- stalling inferior wiring and then skipping town before city inspectors were aware of it City Building Official Simon

impossible to enforce other visions of the ordinance designed to protect citizens from the dangers of inferior wiring con- tractor has an office where he can be reached when the inspector wishes to confer with him City Attorney H Marvin sons said he believes Uie provision is legal and would be upheld by the courts On the other hand Mayor berly said he feels the requirement could make possible a combination of contractors in the city in re- straint of trade which would up costs of electrical wiring He added that he does not believe any such situation exists at present Jones said only one contractor has objected to the regulation eral others who had their places of business outside the city limits hive moved inside he said One of these said his expenses of an office in the city runs to compared to a little over at his former stand Haysi Chief Resigns HAYSI Va June Chief Russell Boyd resigned at a meeting with safety Scheele told of the of tne council here last night studies which
