New Building Code
Now 10 Be Effective
When Printed in July

The District Inspections Depart
ment will postpone the, effective
date of the city's new building
safety and fire egress regulations
until July l when printed copies OF
the code will become available.
The code technically went into
effect January /. according to AS
sistant Engineer Commissioner
Thomas J. Hayes, but no inspec-
ton reports have been distributed
under the new rules unless re-
quested by pr srty owners. He
said the delay has been made
necessary because the Commits
sioners Advisory Committee on
Building Codes has about so
changes to make in the regula-
tions.
The changes cannot be incorpor-
ated into the rules nor can copies
of the regulations be printed until
a public hearing is held on the
proposed changes sometime next
month.
Meanwhile, about $500 inspec-
ton reports already made under
the new rules will be held up un-
til the printed copies Of the
amended code are available. Dis
tribution Of these reports makes
corrective action mandatory with
in 30 days. Building owners,
therefore. will have until August
to make corrections If printed
copies become available and re-
ports are distributed beginning
July /.
Col. Hayes said the committee
has been working for several
months to eliminate inconsistent
cies In the regulations and clarity
language.
The only reports of inspections
made under the new rules that
have gone out thus far have been
those inspections specifically re-
quested by property owners who
wish to- sell their holdings. The
new code requires such inspection
before property can be sold.

Mr.. Sunbrock was accompanied
by his lawyer, H. Malone Dresbach

ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Otto Gretona
who also perform on the tight
wire with their daughter.
In a statement after the hear
ing Mr.. Wilson said he told the
show people that If they keer
Shirley out of the act for the
duration of the show here he
will consider dropping the charge
against Mr.. Sunbrock.

Originally booked last Monday
on a charge of violating the child
labor law here by permitting
Shirley to walk on 40-foot-higf
tight wire, the producer was re-
booked this morning on the cruelty
charge which carries a stiffel
penalty.
The case was presented briefly
before Judge Ellen K. Raedy after
MIR. Wilson's preliminary hearing
