CASS COUNTY. NEBRASKA THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1963 TEN CENTS PER COPY NUMBER 79 Electric Ordinance Repeal Or Amendment Asked Here After a discussion of more than an hour Monday night on the city's Electrical Ordinance, the City Council passed this mo tion: "To lay aside all inspections and permit fees on appliances and entrances for 60 days effec tive Aug. 13 to permit the ord inance to be worked out satis factorily to appliance dealers electricians and the general pub lic." The motion was made by El more Brink of the Council's Lighting Committee. It followed a discussion, some times heated, In which local appliance dealers, electricians and Council members spoke. Thirteen appliance dealers had sinned a petition calling for re peal of the Electrical Ordinance. Dealers who spoke Monday night said they thought the sys tem of licensing under the ord inance was hurting their sale because of a shortage of elec tricians and consequent delay In appliance Installation. At one point, Robert Aspedon, chairman of the Lighting Com mittee, suggested amending the ordinance to provide for a spec ial examination and license for residential wiring only and per mitting wiring of one circuit without permit or Inspection re quirements and re-use of this privilege within 30 days.

Journal Want Ads Pay Ernest Elliott, manager ofj Consumers Public Power Dis trict here, said he favored re peal of the ordinance, that his office has had complaint calls continuously since the ordinance has been in effect. I Electricians speaking, most-1 ly on application of the ordl-i nance, were Ray Harold Jr. and! Harlnnd Hurst. Several appliance dealers spoke among them Chas.j Warga who said he had no quar rel with the electricians or any- one else but was Interested In seeing adequate wiring service! available promptly; and Leo Scanlan who expressed concern' that something be done quickly I because the holiday season is ; approaching. j Bob White, a homeowner who( had had wiring done recently, j complained about what he call-! ed a lack of control In the ord-j lnance over the quality of work; done by electricians and the; prices they charge. He said an electrician, not local, had put In a larger service than he needed and had charg ed more than agreed upon. Lee Glenn, the city's Electric al Insnector, said that several complaints of his ordering spec ific larger size entrances were not true. It was suggested that the size of entrance or service is dictat ed not by the ordinance, or the wiring code, or the inspector but by "common sense." There was general (though not unanimous) agreement a mong those present that the ord inance (and the 1962 National Electrical Code which the ord inance adopts) should not be abandoned. No meeting to work on a sol ution has been set yet, the Lighting Committee said today. Troy E. Wiles, 75, Dies; Rites Saturday at 2 Troy E.
