The present state building code,
which is generally followed by

was adopted in 1911. 1t makes no
provision for new techniqueS and

HOME BURNS;
STORM DAMAGE
HEAVY IN AREA

A laShing northeaSter flattened
crops, blew down trees and flood
ed streets and roads in the eastern
end of the Peninsula. Catawba
and Lakeside were especially af-
fected by a cloudburst early Fri
day.
Fury of the storm which start
ed brewing shortly after midnight
and continued unabated until
nearly 5 a m., seemed to have
centered around Putin-Bay. Two
homes were hit by lightning.
Lightning struck the home of
DR.. William Martin, of Monroe,
Mich, at Put-in-Bay, causing a fire
which destroyed the entire upper
floor of the summer residence.
DR.. Martin and his wife, Mrs
Betty Nepht, Cleveland, and
daughter fled to safety in their
nightclothes. The Put-in-Bay fire
department got the fire under
control, and thought it was eXtin-
grished, when flames suddenly
burst anew, and the fire fighters
were summoned back to combat a
second blaze, which was of much
less intensity. Extent of the loss
was placed at between $4,000
and $4,000.
A crowd of 200 spectators gath
cred to witness the dramatic
scene, many persons standing in
a drenching rain which accom-
panied the electrical storm.
The home Of Henry Labbert, 100
feet from the Martin home, was
also struck, but only slight dam
age to the roof resulted.
On the Peninsula telephones
lines and electric wires were
snapped by the high wind, which
uprooted a few fruit trees in the
orchard areas.
