L. Bartlett, who is preparing it for predentation, expects little inter- est to be shown Because,the code is virtually the same as that in |force for the past 20 years, he | finds. | The building commission is dis- | satisfled with delays in adoption of the new set of laws and has threat- | ened to make formal complaint to ! the common council. Bartlett as- | | sures that no intent to delay adop- | [tion is intended, but mechanical |difficulties and other delays have lield it up. The councilman is not convinced that great importance at- |taches to adoption of this set of laws because they are for the most part in force at present. He was the only ordinance committeeman who voted for acceptance of E. K. Bish- op's code, prepared under contract, and he has not been convinced that the plumbers. took a progressive |step when they defeated a resolu- | ition to put the Bishop ordinances | in eftect.
