commission in formulating building
code for the city of Detroit. II Is no.
probable that the coae will be COM
pleted in time to govern the erection
of buildings this season.
Mr.. Stratton, or the Arm OF Stratton

Der OF the building commission, says;
I'VE are comparing the codes OF
other cities, such as Cleveland. New
York. and Chicago. all through, and
In almost all of the cities which have
building codes, changes and amend
ments have been necessary. There
have been occasions where the origin
al regulations were found TO be too
strict, or not strict enough, and
changes had to be made. Detroit.
while starting later than the other
cities. with its building code, will have
the benefit OF all their experience and
judgment. The people OF Detroit
have been extremely fortunate In
that there have been no serious &C
cidents through defective building
here. the laws being so inadequate"
AS soon as the work OF writing the
code is completed. ii will have to go
to the common council for passage as
an ordinance. The act OF the legisla-
ture providing for building commits
sion and building code is very broad.
and the members are satisfied that
under its provisions system can be
evolved which will give the inhabit-
ants OF the city greater protection and
safety through its enforcement.
