New Building
Ordinance
Passed

The new building code is a law.
1t allows people to build shacks
without putting the brick chimney
clear to the ground. 1t also COM
pels everybody to pay so cents for
a permit for houses from $50 to
$500. Heretofore no one paid
tor any permit unless it ran over
$500.
A lot of minor changes have
been made in the law Theaters
were iDcluded in it and they will
be regulated hereafter.
Engineer J. +. Moody for the
Hurley Mason company objected
to the specifications on reinforced
concrete. Architect S. E. Irwin
declared the ordinance was all
right for Chicago hut it Is too SER
ious tax on Tacoma. The policy
has almost stopped building, he
said. On one $4,000 job he said
the law demanded things that
were of no utility and got no
recognition from the insurance
men yet cost the building $500 in
cash. He wanted an ordinance
that would encourage good build
ings, not hamper them.

evening at the Tacoma theater.
Inspite of whispered comments
of disapproval of the theme of the
play, which deals with married
men and young women who seek
cafes for midnight carousal, there
was a crowded house to witness
the performance.
The play was splendidly staged.
and when the Girl in the Taxi"
drove her machine upon the stage
wild bursts of applause broke
forth from the audience.

More Cheaply

in municipal work does not make
it cost less. as opponents of gov
eminent ownership and govern

The lowest price offered for
building the spillway on the
Green river gravity water plan
was 81 foot for excavation. The
city by day work is doing ii for
SIS, according to Commissioner
Weeks. The lowest price private
enterprise would clear the trans
mission line for the Nisqually
power plant was 500 an acre. The
city by day work Is doing 1t for
less than $50.
All of which leads Weeks to
declare that the time has come for
the city to get busy and do all
