Others are under con- templation. Old structures are being re- paired. Additions to old buildings are be- ing constructed. Because Key West lacks a building code all of this work is being done without any regulation by the city There is danger in such activities if the city does not take some step to provide for inspection of buildings, of plumbing in- stallation and of electrical work. An im- properly constructed house or store can be a real menace in the event of a storm, .as Miami learned to her sorrow in 1926. All buildings erected in Miami now must com- ply with certain recognized storm-proof construction methods. Electrical work must be installed so as to prevent or mini- mize the possibility of fire. Plumbing must comply with strict sanitary requirements. Key West should act at once to adopt a suitable building code to meet condi- tions as they exist here. The City Council should invite local builders and plumbing and electrical contractors to a round-table conference to discuss details of a building Provision in a building ordinance should be made for the employment of city inspectors, so that the standards required by the city are lived It might be advisable to’ tax out- side contractors and plumbing and elec- irical firms for the privilege of operating in’Kéey West.

In fact, eventual ratification of the amendment is very doubtful. Moreover, there are certain legal complications in- volved. There is, for example, ruling that an amendment, submitted to the States, must be ratified within a reason- able time... Argument is also advanced be- cause of the fact that some States, after rejecting the amendment, the decision and the question arises, how many times can a State act on an amend- ment? In view of these facts some advocates of a child labor law now advocate the new | Vandenberg amendment, designed to be submitted direct to conventions in the sev- eral States. It lowers the age limit from | 18 to 16 years, gives Congress the power “prohibit” but not the more doubtful power to “regulate” and restricts employment covered to that “for hire.” There continues, of course, much sentiment behind the original amendment, to have it or nothing.
