SENATOR CALDER FAVORS
BUILDING CODE CHANGES
May Urge D. C. Commissioners to
Invite New York Expert
to Come Here.

Senator Calder of New York. who
Is deeply interested in the building
situation in the District, said today
that he would, if the plan seems feas-
ible, recommend to the District Com
laissioners. that they invite Rudolph
Miller of New York city, to come to
Washington and give An opinion
upon desirable changes in the build
ing code of the District He said he
regards Mr.. Miller as the highest au-
thority on building law and depart
mental administration in the country.
MIR. Miller is an engineer: who was
Tor many years at the head Of the
building department of New York
city, and wrote the building code.
He also Is chairman Of Secretary
Hoover's committee created on recon-
mendation of Senate Calder for the
preparation of proposed uniform
building code for the United States
. Senator Calder said he hoped that
larger compensation will be provided
by law for the superintendent and
CHIEF engineer of buildings in the
District of Columbia, and that at lea st
twice the number Of building inspec-
tors shall be provided.
Without rejecting upon the ability
OF the men now holding Office, he con-
siders the present statutory compen-
sation grossly inadequats and the
force of inspectors entirely too small
Chairman Ball of the Senate Dis
trict committee said today that he
does not propose starting committee
