WANT

EFFECTIVE

CODE BUT NOT A BURDENSOME ONE

Joint Meeting of Mayor Keller

With Boards, Council and

Chamber of Commerce Committee Brings Understanding

A Luildins code, including new plumbing, and probably electrical wiring regulations, effective but not burnsome, woulJ nfcm a virtual coru. nty for South Bond, the result of fa. Joint meeting1 of Mayor Keller, the boorc". of nafey. board of works and common counoli, held at the city hall Thursday night, with the active) memJ rrs of tho ChamSior of Commerce cmIc drafting committer addenda. Member of the council and boards were all present with the exception of Councilnien IJuechner and Goebel :md Jcr.n A Illbberd of the board of safety. Tho Chamber of Commerce committer, In consequence, is directed to ko ahead, continuing "work on the ordinance already -well under way, pending tho Introduction and passage of a directive ordinanco at the next meeting of the council, with a Eultablo appropriation to cover the- urIenae, estimated not to exceexl $500. Not an official, committeeman, or citizen present, but Bpoko in favor of a building coio; one, as Christopher Farsnaoht of the code committee put it, -that will bo effective but not burdensome, and that was the line which the committee waa henceforth left to follow. Tho active committee of the Chamber of Commerce consists of E. U. Austin, chairman; K. W. Young, II. U. ChrUtman and Mr. Fa-ssnacht, with J. W. Shidlcr, Rolland Adelsperper. Oeoreo W. Freyermuth. 'William Happ, Crawford Staples, John Mountain and former City Atty. I. S. KomiK", advisory. Mr. Komi? being on tho committee on account of his otfiial pobltlon. It waa Hupt?ested that City Atty. Beebirt act In his predecessor: stead. Mayor I'oedtlvc for Ordinance. Mayor Keller having HUg-qested tho meeting; explained the purpose, calling attention to the rent Michigan st. affair, and urging those present to et together on some llnu of action that would prevent a repetition. IJurr y. Augustine, president of the board of safety, was elected chairman, and I'. M. Morris, president of the board of workB, secretary. Chairman Austin of the Chamber of Commerce ccmxnlttto outlined tho scope to which a building ordinance ought to go, and reviewed tho work that had already been done, and the meeting was on. "We must make our ordinance effective without its being oppressive.' paid Committeeman Fassnacht, elaborating upon Chairman Austin's remarks, and Committeeman Young added the need of rovbdon of the local plumbing ordinance, in order to carry out mien a program. He suggested that tho revision might be incorporated in o tho building code. "The present law," he declared, "must have been framed by plumber?. H Is all in their faor, onlling in many car.es for a lot of pipe, that Is a burden to tho poor man, yet absolutely useless." Mayor Keller suggested that the committee, being acquainted with building construction, two of them being architects and two contractors, ought on account of their technical knowledge, bo retained and directed to go ahead with their work with tho understanding thnt tho council will take care of them as f-onn as the routine of their meetings will permit. Directive Ordinance Needed. That a directive ordinance would be necessary, carrying with it the desired ; ppropriatlor, vesting legal power to nntr&rl wl'.h the committee for its work. wa.s pointed out by City Atty. oeebirt. After listening to various speakers. Members It lco and "Weber of he. board of worbs. Augustine and HinoRor of the board of safety, t lie mayor, committeemen. and witli them. Nelson 11. KysT. deputy state factory Inspector; the councilmen, no by one, Iaig. H.-igerty. Wo Iters. Thompson, Smogor, Miller, Hagey and Seifert, expressed themselves favorable to a proper ordinance, and promts d to come across with the necessary appropriation f r whipping one into shape. "You should take great c;re." said " Kputy Factory Inspector Kyser. "in the framing of such an ordinance? or ou ull! be courting a Jot of trouble. You must keep it in accord with the state housing law, the factory codes f the state, theatrical requirements, and a number of things. A poor 1 uildinir code. U like a bundle of rattlesnakes." He furnished the committer with a number of ordinances on the subject, in operation here in the state, notable in Indianapolis Terre l-!aute. Ft. Wayne and Hammond. Whether the execution of the code, tbn it becomes a law, should come under the jurisdiction of the board . .f works, op the board of safety, was discussed to some extent, but no conclusion reached. In Indianapolis the board of works has harge of the building business; in Terre Haute and Ft. Wayne, the board of safety. Some inquiry was. also made as to what w ou.'d be the cost of a bviiMir.'; injotor, r.ec--".rv to the effective execution of a l.'itiMI cod..-, and the answer varied from J.'.eri a year ir. J r.d i ana polis, do.vn to M.svoj in Terre Haute. Favors the l'cv System. Most of those prsut: all who Kj'oke on the rubject. i-: facr; favor the permit fee sstem, as n means of fray'.ug the expanse , f tb.e inpei--t-r. Tn this w;v" the builder pays the bf.l; r.ot to tb.e inspector, however, with additions to carry fa orit;s:!i, but to the citv when the p. rm't to bui'.d is secured. In Indianapolis the fee graduates at the rat; of one cent r hundred cubic feet which uu!.t have made the fee for :.st ruct ion of the J. M. S. building J 7". and the new liich school at'out $L(,o. "The city is In the transitional building stage," jaid Hiee. member of the hoard of ncrks. "The old South Peru is disappearing, ir. a structural sense; it is remodeling, and rebuild

ing, as never before in its history

and said It had come upon tho city Just as City Physician Taylor of I?enton Harbor had thrMtenl to turn the leper loos on the county supervisors if they did not provide an isolation hospital. "Our lerr was turned loose upon us," he said. Pres. Iang of the council stated that he wna turpr1d to learn after The Shivf ly-Hner bulldlnsr wont down that i'th Bend had no building regulations, and of course was ready to remedy the defect. Tho matter appears to have beon before the councilman at their previous committee meeting. "You must remember." said Ianff. "that the blame for this code is going to fall upon the council largely, as th law-making body, and I hope your 'effective but not burdensome' program will be carried out with diligence."

Never before has such a position presented itself, and never before have conditions warranted such drastic measures to accomplish a pre-arranged settlement of business and financial afiairs.

Ordinary sales methods will avail nothing at this time. Ordinary reductions in the prices on high grade, dependable merchandise, such as everyone knows is to be found at this store, would, without question, eventually result in our securing the necessary amount.
