The work was initlated by Secretary of Commerce Hoover, who believes that building codes fail to recognize modern methods of con- struction. One of the important recommenda- tions of the committee is that cities permit elght-inch solid brick and six- | inch solid concrete walls, for two and a half and three-story dwellings, accommodating not more than two | families each. Probably not more | than 40 per cent of the present city building codes permit such walls in these buildings.
