about the ability of the inspector to inspect the fobs. There are cases where
work that should be turned do~.~n and isn't, and this tllows a safety hazard to
remain within the building. Problems involved set out. He stated that most
of the inspectors have a little knowledge about a lot of crafts. Too often
the inspector is not sure of what he is doing,
