SUGGESTS AMENDING
VILLAGE CHARTER
L E. Holden Points Out Way to Oh
viate Difficulty Arising Under
Proposed Building Code.

Editor of The Reformer:-
| noticed in your paper of the 18th inst
the comments made by Mr. Hughes in ref
crence to the building code which | sub
mitted to your paper few days ago, and
would say that | am very glad that these
comments have been made.
| am well aware of the fact that il
would be necessary to get an act through
the legislature before this code could be
permanently adopted, whereby the settle
ment of all disputes which might arise be-
tween contractors and builders and the
building inspector could be settled by a
board of civil authority, instead of carry
ing 1t through the courts at a great ex-
pense to both the village and the other
parties concerned, and thus avoid all liti-
CATION and the unnecessary expense of
same. The board of civil authority should
consist of jury of II men, as suggested
in the code, and these men certainly
would have the interests of the town at
heart, SO that their decision should be
both impartial and just.
! Regarding Mr.. Hughess comments rela-
tive to the matter of sprinklers, would
say on may take this matter up with
any insurance company and / feel sure
that you will find their rates will be
much lower on a wooden building, thor
oughly equipped with automatic sprinz-
lers, than it is OH a brick building which
does not have the sprinkler protection.
! In regard to the constitutional question
of buildings in the outer fire district,
think that the rulings of the code are
such to sufficiently care for all matters
pertaining to public safety and health,
and should there be any further question
brought up regarding the placing of build
lngs on a line, this matter could be taken
care of under the terms of the insurance
act. However, if Mr., Hughes or anyone
else can suggest further amendments to
the rulings for the outer fire district |
should be very glad to have them do So
If this code is not objected to by the
voters of the village, would it not be a
good plan to have further amendment
made to the charter so that the village
can adopt code, giving the voters the
right tC decide whether the matter OF
disputes should be left to the board Of
civil authority OF To CONT of chancery
