Building Board Vacancy Blamed for Code Delay Work on the building code, which, together with plumbing and electrical codes, is to be submitted to the com- mon council for adoption as soon as all have been completed, is being held up by the failure of Mayor A. M. Paonessa to appoint a building com- missioner to succeed Commissioner R. J. Dixoh, who has resigned. The commission is one of five mem- bers, some of whom are out of the city. Because Dixon's successor has not been named, there has been dif- ficulty in gettin ga quorum to tran- sact business. Mayor Paonessa -has. on numerous occasions tried to hasten work on the code, but unless a new commissioner is named soon, the work will prob- ably be delayed longer. il payiiiiiiit ‘ GOING AWAY f LABOR DAY?
