An unusual feature is the

South African mahogany was

however, Swedish white oak was

Every fourth rib is made OF

zinc rivets were used in the
steel.

ing costs by 3 per cent, that
would only be $3.50 on a $4,000
home. He said bonding would
be like an insurance policy for
homeowners. He visualized q
law that would require bonding
to guarantee against defects for
a certain period of years. The
public, he said, ultimately
would find this a cheap insur-
ance policy.
Bonding companies. he
added. would refuse to bond
builders without experience and
such contractors would be
weeded out.
The Home Builders Associa-
ton and the General Improve
ment Contractors group specifi-
cally mentioned the Eastern

Firms Often Dissolved
The associations said con-
struction companies often dis
solve after completion of con-
tract, thus terminating their
operations on which a license
would be based; while perform
ance or completion bonds would
not cover defects appearing
after the date of completion.
Both organizations wish to
emphasize again that licensing
of reliable and responsible
builders or contractors is un-
necessary and wasteful and
would not protect homeowners
from delayed damages result
ing from incompetent or care

statement continued.
They also wish to make
known their view that law-en-
forcement problems in the Dis
trict government cannot be
solved by penalizing an entire
profession for occasional or in
dividual responsibility or
oversight.
Responsible builders and
contractors are bound by prin-
cipleS of professional ethics as
well as by sound business sense
to perform satisfactorily and
service their work also after
completion whenever neces-
Sary."

Another suggestion, advanced
by Senator Carroll, Democrat
of Colorado, would require a
three-judge court to pass on
contempt cases growing out of
iinjunctions. Senator Carroll
said his proposal is designed
to overcome the argument that
when the Judge who issues an

contempt, the judge is passing
on his own original action.
