To tour 'unsafe' buildings
David L. Bills, assistant director of code enforcement, Administrative Building Council, when contacted this morning (Wednesday) said inspections of all four buildings, termed “unsafe” by the council will be conducted this Friday. Bills said a meeting and inspection of the building owned by Rollin Hamsher and Richard Widup is set for about 11 a.m. An inspection of the buildings owned by Joe and Frank Hernandez will be about 1:30 p.m. The order to demolish the buildings has been made, with a time limit. No compliance with the Marion Circuit Court order was made and the attorney general’s office is pursuing the matter on contempt of court charges. The con tempt hearing has been continued twice. In the meantime, a meeting with attorneys representing building owners was held last Thursday in Indianapolis. T. M. Cook, Syracuse area lawyer, is representing the Hernandez owners. An Indianapolis attorney, is also representing owners Hamsher and Widup. The contempt hearing is now set for November 4. Bills said the agreement to tour
the buildings Friday was made out of courtesy to the owners. He added the court order still stands. An agreement to talk with the contractors doing repair work on the buildings and to inspect them will be kept by Bills. However, the attorney general’s office said the statement made by Rollin Hamsher that the attorney general is to tour the building was news to them. Treated and released Wanda L.
