Representatives OF cinder concrete interests said
lasT night that the provision for this material in the
building code approved by the Buildings Com
mittee Of the Board of Aldermen on Friday was a
sham, and that If the board passed the code on
Tuesday and Acting Mayor MCGOWAN gave any in
dcation of signing it they would explode bomb
