Mayor Donald W. Kramer said today that traffic pa Vote on City's Second Housing Job Likely Tonight at Council Session Binghamton's new plumbing law was signed today by Mayor Donald W. Kramer.

The mayor signed the measure after closing a public hearing at which no one appeared to speak for or against the law. The legislation, effective Oct. 1, creates an examining board of plumbers consisting of a master plumber, a journeyman plumber, and three non-plumbers. It abolishes the present board which consists of two master plumbers, a journeyman plumber, the city plumbing inspector and the city engineer. The law was voted by City Council Aug.

7 after the State Legislature, in March, gave Bing hamton power to enact special regulations. City pfficials appealed to the Legislature after state courts outlawed a 1947 city law which attempted to abolish the existing board and create a board similar to the one approved bv. Mavor Kramer today. The 1947 law was adopted after a lengthy City Council investiga tion of the plumbine business in Binghamton resulted in the finding that the existing board had fos tered a monopoly for the benefit of master plumbers.

SILLIVAN ferred with. Act- Inr Assistant Chief of Police' Joseph W. Sullivan. Mayor Kramer said that Mr. Sullivan, who is a lieutenant commander in the naval reserve, informed htm that he may be summoned to active duty soon.

"I would hate to see the armed services deplete our trained per-onnel here," Mr. Kramer said.

Support Asked In Campaign For Iron Lung Binghamton Hadassah today appealed for support of its project to provide City Hospital with a rew $1,500 iron lung. Mrs.

M. H. Jaffe. chairman of the drive, said contributions to the fund are running far behind expectation. The organization is exhibiting a lung of the type to be given to the hospital in a trailer in Court Street, between Chenango and State streets.

Donations are being sought from persons who visit the trailer Mrs. Jaffe urged Bingham-tonians to inspect the lung and help provide the hospital with the much-needed equipment. In event of a polio epidemic, she pointed out, the one lung now owned by the hospital would be inadequate. The lung will be available without charge to any City Hospital patient. The trailer wil be on display through Saturday of this week in Binghamton.

Next week it will move to Johnson City and later to Endicott. If Hadasah is unable to raise -sufficient funds to pay for the lung through the exhibit, it will provide the additional money.

Mayor Donald W. Kramer said he expects a City Council vote on an ordinance authorizing the Binghamton Housing Authority to apply to the Federal Public Housing Administration (FPHA) for $55,000 with which to plan the project. Mr.

Kramer, who Is supporting the housing agency's request, said he would attend the City Council meeting and appeal for approval. The Broome County Real Estate Board has been waging an exten sive campaign against the project. At the board's request Assemblyman Orlo M. Brees appeared before Council two weeks ago and argued against approval. Republican leaders of council, President Arthur W.

Robinson and Majority Leader Harry Har rington, have taken stands against the project, but administration leaders indicated that they expect the authority will be granted by a narrow vote. The Binghamton housing agency has virtually completed a 166-apartment project in the Sixth Ward, built with funds loaned by the State Division of Housing. The federal project now under consideration would provide 150 additional apartments.

Court Street has been kept open for traffic during the construction, Mayor Kramer said, but great numbers of motorists prefer to use the Robinson Street detour because of the rough condition of Court Street. SATE IS NUDGED The State Department of Public Works is being asked to have the contractor on the Court Street job keep the street in better condition, Mr. Kramer said. Parking has been banned on the south side of Robinson Street so that two lanes of eastbound traffic can be maintained, the mayor said.

The temporary ban on parking has brought a number of complaints from storekeepers on Robinson Street, but "we felt we had to do it," Mr. Kramer said. LONG-RUN BENEFIT He said in the long run probably would benefit from the parking ban. There is parking space on side streets available for "motorists who want to stop at Robinson Street stores, he said, adding that congestion had been so bad in the street that cars parked at the curb couldn't get back into traffic lanes. Court Street is under repair for a mile from the foot of State Hospital Hill to Alice Street.

The resurfacing and widening of the street are part of the general arterial highway plan prepared for Binghamton by the State Department of Public Works. NEW!
