 Building Code Discussed
 Definite steps toward the untangling of the dissension over the proposed new building code were taken lase night at 8 meeting of the city coun- cil and the Chamber of Commerce building code committee in the City hall. when the regulations were dis eussed and approval and disapproval of the various proposals were made. The meeting last night showed clear iy that the code will not become ef- fective for weeks and possibly months yet because of its many angles, &C., cording to views expressed by coun- cilmen and Chamber of Commerce members. The regulations in regard to fireproofing buildings bore the hrunt of battle last night as it was declared that the measures increased the construction costs to an almost prohibitive extent and that many of the present city buildings will not meet the code requirements. One regulation specifics that any building, devoted to public use shall have cer- tain types of fire escapes and stair ways. It was declared last night by ono member of the Chamber of Com merce committee that the New De- parture Endee Inn, one of the finest factory hotels in the state, will not meet this requirement.. The city board and the chamber group did not finish up the discussion work last night so that another meeting will be held soon to delye further into the code.

preted by thousands of business men
who will feel that il the government
is advised to stop construction work,
whatever may be the plea given, they

The government work Of building
postoffices. river and harbor work,
and kindred activities, is just as es-
sential to the welfare of the country
ms is the business construction work
that is going on. There is less reason
WHY the government should stop con-
struction work than there is why in
diyiduals SHOULD stop. 1t was for this
reason that the Manufacturers Rec.
ord entered the vigorous protest in the
telegram to President Harding be-
.cause il once another effort is made

A copy Of a telegram from Richard

has just been received by G. NJ.
Enebel, vice president-manager of the
Texas State Manufacturers Associa-
tion. with headquarters in San An

a matter of vital Importance to the
future prosperity Of the business in

wire to President Harding is as fol-
lows:
dispatches from Washington to-
day report that you and some men,
bers of your cabinet are considering
postponing all government construc-
ton work on the grounds that prices
are too high and that the government
will wait for lower prices. | sincere
u trust that this report is erroneous.
"The breakdown of prices in 1920
by the power of governmental influ-
ences and drastic deflation of bank
ing credits for that purpose, brought
chaos to the business interests of the
country, drove into poverty millions
of farmers and thousands of business
men in every line of activity. The
cry which then went forth from the
government and from bankers that
prices were too high was responsible
for the discontinuance of building op-
erations and for the destruction of
prices Of agricultural products, all
uniting to result in throwing out of
employment 100000 men.

history of the country in proportion
to capacity, all due to the breakdown
in prices.
Under the advance of prices Of the

In REACH OF ALL
The Simplest Home Can Afford Bath
E1uipmeut.

There is marked tendency
among home owners, and those plan
ming to build a. home, TO personally
select all the plumbing fixtures. De-
mand for built-in bath room fixtures is
increasing, and for the average dwell
ing the built-in bath is highly desir-
able, because of greatly reducing the
work of room cleaning. Not only can
a built-in tub be obtained. but built
in showers can be included. along
with bath room "jewetry
dishes and towel racks, cabinets and
toilet paper racks that are easy TO
clean and heep clean. There is no
handsomer improvement in the modern
home interior than the up-to-date
bath room.
If an ancient Roman plutocrat could
look upon a modern, sanitary bath
room, in its simple white elegance,
he would be properly humbled at re-
collection of his marble-and-mosaic
bath. Its attraction depended upon
costly magnificence, but he was woe
fully lacking in convenience. In spite
of the march Of improvement, today's
plumbing prices put complete, mod
ern bath equipment within reach of
those in NOSE moderate circumstances.
