Cheaper and more durable homes

'structed along the lines of a report
made public today by the building
code committee Of the Department
of Commerce. which Secretary, Hoover
Declared would result mot only in 8
very appreciable money saving to MIL
lions of American families" but will
have positive influence toward bet
ter housing that cannot be counted in
dollars.
! In letter to Ira II. Woolsou. chair
'man of the committee. Secretary
Hoover says the new building code
will be helpful not only through
practical use jby municipalities in
building codes and in promoting
greater uniformity in codes through
out the country. but that with its
Rppendix it will provo directly useful
TO owners and builders of dwellings
generally. The committee making
the report includes representatives of
the principal architectural, engineer
Ing and other professional societies.
The committee recommends tina
building codes permit eightinch solid
brick and siA-inch solid concrete
walls for two-and half and three
story dwellings accommodating not
more tnan TWO ldmllleS tdcn. only
about 40 per cent of the present city
building codes investigated permit
. eight-inch walls in such dwellings,
Eight-inch walls of hollow tile. hol-
low concrete block or hollow walls OF
brick are permissible. but may not
exceed twenty feet in height. with an
additional five feet to the peak of the
gable. Frame construction would be
limited TO two and half stories

for party and division walls. but at
least every alternate wall in row

Requirements for quality of hollow
masonry units agree fairly well with

report recommends revised working
stresses for timber used in dwellings,.
