Interest in Proposed Ordi-
nance Revived by the COL
lapse of a Building at the
Capital City.
REVISION is MADE
OF ORIGINAL CODE
Secretary Jordan of CONNER
cial Club Says New Code
Does Not Impose Hardship
on Any Builder.

The collapse of the Prest-O-1.ite
building at indianapolis Wednesday
afternoon, which resulted in the death
OF eight workmen has called the atten-
tion OF local business men and city Of
ficials to the proposed building code,
which has been pending before council
for several months. Charles Jordan,
secretary of the Commercial club, was
at the city clerks office this morning
on behalf of the code and it will be
taken up as soon as possible.
The code, which is in the form Of a
bill for an ordinance, was drawn up
by q committee from the Commercial
club, composed of men who are ac-
Quainted with the construction of
buildings. The purpose of the code
stantial structures, and to make al
buildings more fireproof in variou:
ways/and, consequently, to secure {;
lower rating on fire insurance.
Was Regarded Unfair.
As the code was very lengthy am
rather complicated council decided t
refer 1t back to the Commercial clu:
for revision.
Council also believed the code to b.
unfair to citizens Of moderate means
but Secretary Jordan contends that il
is not. He declares that the CONNER
cial club Is willing to draft any kind OF
a building code that council desires
and he believes the revised code viii!
be satisfactory to council
Mrs. Jordan says that the former
code was not too stringent on the sma.
builders, and that it protected othe!
property owners from having fir,
trap erected next to their buildings
He says the code would have allowed
any one to construct as cheap build
ing as he desired, but that he would
be forced to construct it substantial
ly.
MIR. Jordan says that If the cod>
was in force a builder would be oblig
ed to construct a firm foundation an,
that the kind of a foundation woulC
depend upon the height and other
specifications.
No Inspector Needed.
Neither would the code require !
high salaried building inspector, a.
council believed, Mr.. Jordan says. He
declares that it would not be necessary
to have a building inspector. that tho
work could be done by the fire chic
or some other city official.
The committee which has revised
the code is composed of William K
Bradbury, chairman; w. S. Kaufman
Theodore Hill and Sharon E. Jones
The code is now ready for presenta
tion to council. According to the min
utes of the council meeting when the
original code was presented 1t was de
cided that council and the Commercial
club should meet jointly at called
meeting of the mayor to discuss thu
merits of the code and to place 1t il
the form Of an ordinance.
1t Is likely that such meetin.
will be called in the near future b.
Mayor Zimmerman. and the CONNER
cial club will instruct its committee
with other representatives of the club
to explain the features of the code a
the meeting.
