City examines plumbers board and possible abuse of power
The Progress condemns the city examining board for plumbers and calls for its abolition citing alleged favoritism and exclusions. It questions motives, lists members including Cotter Wylie Lumpkin, and notes several local plumbers who failed the exam despite long service. It suggests letting individual plumbers prove competence and warns against fees during encampment week.
