BUILDING CODE
OBSOLESCENCE

Federal housing experts have found
that in some localities building codes
do not provide adequate safeguards
against shoddy construction Of dwell
ings, that discrimination against new
building materials is of frequent oc-
currence and that the obsolete provi-
sions of some codes add to construction
costs. A survey of the u. S. Bureau
of Standards covering about $500
cities of $500 or more population and
scheduled to be released within the
near future is understood to reveal
widespread obsolescence of codes.
Over number of years the bureau
has prepared standard forms for a
number of classes of building mate
rials. When federal housing agencies
come in contact with building code
that appears needlessly to impair their
projects, the code is referred to the
Standards Bureau, whose experts
draw suggested amendments. 1t is
reported that laboratory tests are in
progress to ascertain minimum re-
quirements for new building materials,
including prefabricated types.
Undoubtedly many local building
modes are woefully behind up-to-date
construction models, and should be
amended whenever such action is nee
essaryto make them conform with

present building standards, with en-
phasis on the necessity of applying
well known requirements for material
to guarantee 100 per cent durability
and safety, which means, of course,
an absolute prohibition against jerry
built houses.
1t goes without saying that all of
these elements of safety and efficiency
in construction will be more perfectly
realized if the workmen employed on
the construction projects carry mem
bership cards in the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor building trades
unions.
