UNIFORM STATE
BUILDING CODE
TO Be DRAFTED
Commissioners of Indiana
Cities Invited to Meeting
Feb. 8.

William F. Hurd, city building
commissioner. today announced q
statewide gathering of building Of
fcials for Feb. 8, at the Claypool
to consider drafting of a model
building code.
Building commissioners and other
city officials of Indiana towns were
invited by Hurd to attend the con-
ference. 1t is likely that an organiza-
ton will be formed and committee
chosen to draft model building
code for Indiana towns and cities.
There Is a lack of uniformity in
the codes Of Indiana cities, Hurd
declared.
Nation Wide Movement
There is a nationwide movement
tending to establish uniform codes
in all cities. The model code would
be in compliance with the recently
published state code, but would
cover provisions not included in the
state code for larger cities.
Any town desiring TO set up build
ing regulations would have a model
code with which to work. The
model could be adapted to suit the
local ordinances.
There are a number Of matters
pertaining to small buildings which
are not included in the state code"
Hurd said.
Attendance of about one hundred
Is expected at the meeting. Ma
teriaI association engineers whose
interests would be affected by such
a move probably will confer with
the building leaders.
No Two Are Alike
Fermor Cannon, who drafted the
present state code, probably will be
asked to address the meeting.
Eleven Indiana cities with popu-
lations ranging from 10000 to 10000
have no building regulations of any
kind, according to report issued in
June, 1928, by the Division of Build
ing and Housing of the United
States Department of Commerce"
Hurd said.
Twenty Indiana cities have
building codes, but no two of them
are alike. On the contrary, there is
great variation in the fundamental
requirements of the twenty codes.
What we need is a uniform, or
model code, one which cities can
adoy,t aS their own without changes
except those required to conform to
local ordinances. The need for uni
form requirements is of further i'm
portance because our state building
code is now in printed form.
Building inspection officials of
ten or twelve cites have expressed
a desire to get together and prepare
a model city building code-a de-
tailed document for the larger cities
and a condensed form for the
smaller ones"
