Port Townsend, Wash., May 1, 1934.
To the Honorable Mayorand City Councilman,
of Port Tovnsend, Washington.
Gentlemen:-
than ever. Again we wish to infa•m you that the Plumbing Ordinance is being violated more
Local shops are doing work without a license, also doing work without taking out per-
mits. Several so-called boot -leg plumbers are also doing a lot of work without the City
receiving any revenue from it.
The City has lost at least $100.00 (One Hundred Dollars) during the last year and a
half, for the reasons stated above.
Vie are paying license and taking out permits for all jobs; therefore we are entitled
to the protection that we are paying for.
When permits are not taken out the jobs are not inspected, and then the owners are no
getting what they are supposed to be paying for.
Itts up to you to take some action, or else change the ordinance.
Sincerely yours,
Norby Plumbing & Heating Co.
By Karl H. Norby.
