After a brief 3iscussion of the letter from the Bureau, the Ordinance was shelved: COPY OF THE LETTER FROM THE ARKANSAS INSPECTION AND RATING BUREAU: Mr. Harold E. Lieberenz Building Inspector Fayetteville, Arkansas Dear -Sir: The proposed wood shingle ordinance which your city is considering would increase'the charges against the city by about 15 points. The National Building Code permits wood shingles on an optional basis but the Grading Schedule penalizes a city if they are used. The charges against the city, however, are greatly increased if the restrictions indicated in the Building Code for the control of these inferior roofs are not enforced. By way of explanation here is an outline of the apparent feeling of the National Board of Fire Underwriters: 1. There can be no questions but that wood shingle roofs contribute to the spread of fires and it is desirable that no such inferior roofs be permitted. 2. If good grade shingles are permitted in areas not closely built the hazard is increased fromthe ideal condition but within limits. on. ., 0 •
