port Mr.. Holden stated in substance
that the code submitted to the last vii |
lage meeting was turned down because |
it was thought by many property own |
ers to be too stringent for a town the |
size of Brattlebore, he also argues that |
buildings constructed in the inner fire |
districts would be as safe if they were
protected by automatic sprink1ers as If
built of brick without protection of
sprinklers. Mr. Holden also suggests
that an appeal from the decision of
the inspector regarding future build
ings should be made to the board of
civil authority instead of the court OF
chancery. as is provided by the village
charter There would be some doubt
whether such an appeal would be effec
tive in view of the fact that chapter
100 makes an appeal to the municipal
court This was changed when the
charter was adopted making an appeal
TO the court of chaneery of Windham
county. Then it is very obvious that
some complications would arise if
veters attempted TO adopta code which
would make an appeal to different bod
les than these planned for in the char
ter recently adopted and the state law,
both of which were adopted subsequent
| To their DtlHg DdSSGu DS the StdJf icy
Iislatttre There is Il good. deal of merit
| in Mr.. Holden : suggestion that build
| ing is at standstill at the present
time in Brattleboro, so that the mat
ter Of adopting code can wait over
| to. the regular village meeting in May
/ In the meantime any of the voters can
| offer suggestions or amendments to the
codes already submitted. In this wav
/ a general agreement may be able to
be reached by different parties inter
ested before the village meeting.
Mr.. Holden in discussing the needs
of restriction in the outer fire districts
advocates only such restrictions as
would tend to preserve the beauty of
the streets by keeping them in line,
and some minor regulations rs to build
! ings of an extra hazard. but in the
main seems to contend that there Is nc
need for much regulation outside of the
congested districts of the village. 1t
is suggested that there is no question
about the authority of the building in
spector of the village making regula-
tions TO prevent the erection of fire
traps in the future. but for the build
ing code to endeavor to make regula-
tions in the outer fire district simply
to preserve the beauty of tire street
by keeping the houses in line and Ger
4 tain distances from the street line is
questionable Constitutional questions
might arise as to the validity of sucl
code. and whatever regulations are
adopted must be under the police pow
err of the constitution, with the ides
to protect public safety, public healtl
and public morals so that any code o.
section of the code which aims simply
to preserve the beauty of certfii
district might be questioned as not
coming under any of the foregoing
reasons for the adopting of the same
This question was thrashed cut to som'
extent in the city of Boston severa
years ago, when the regulations were
made concerning the height of thu
buildings for the purpose of promoting
the beauty of certain sections.
