SAN FRANCISCO, June 10.-The

PROPOSE REVISION
OF BUILDING CODE
Housing Subcommittee Sees
Relief Through Facilitated
RemodeIing.

A recommendation that the District
building code be revised to make 1t
easier for property owners to remodel
three and four story dwellings into
small apartments has been made to
the housing committee as one means
of increasing housing accommodations
in the District.
The suggestion is contained in the
report of the subcommittee on con-
struction practices, of which Frank
Upman is chairman. The subcommit-
tees suggestion deals principally
with methods of making such build
ings fireproof for use as apartments.
Another suggestion from Mr.. Up
mans subcommittee is that in order
to increase the number of skilled me-
chanics, that builders and trades
unions be urged to encourage and de-
velop the apprentice system along
the lines proposed by the New YORK
building congress.
The subcommittee recommends that
the housing committee indorse the ef-
forts being made by the Department
of Commerce to secure the adoption
of standard grading rules for lumber,
and the furnishing of lumber in null
tiples of one-foot lengths instead of
multiples of two feet. This, the COM
mittee believes, would reduce waste.
The subcommittee reported that
wages paid to mechanics in Washing
ton are nearly double pre-war figures.
AS to the profits of contractors and
dealers in building materials, the COM
mittee says "the facts are not so
readily ascertainable. With the de-
mand for houses. and the materials
entering into their construction,
equaling and in many instances ex-
ceeding the supply, it naturally fol-
lows that it is possible to secure
liberal profit. To what extent, if any,
this condition has been taken advan-
tage of, the committee has not been
able to determine"
