L. Nalr and Councilmen J. P. Mur- phy and D. L. Bartlett. They will meet with technical experts and ob- Itain all the information available, |the feellng of the committes being {that the matter does not demand immediate action, and changes in the present requirements re recommended more data than available last night should he obtained. The bullding commission mended that Section 175 building erdinance on roofing d to read “Class A for all roofs of new buildings in the fire !district and reroofing on frame buildings be allowed Class C." The petition of the dealers is that the art of the buflding code which cal |for Class A roofing material to he used within the fire limits be ect ide and in its pl: serted allowing Cl on roofs over five inches pitch, on the ground that the present require- ment fs an injustice to owners of property in the fire limits.

Mr. Wexler pointed out that th present ord will not permit the use of Class C materlals garage roofs, yet Section 175 of the building code permits their use on one and two family houses. This means that asphalt shingles can be used on one and two family houses but garages in the same yards are required to have Class A or B roofs. He believes this con dition should be corrccted. Mr. Wi r said the reference to a five inch pitch should be changed to at least a seven inch pitch.
