The Common Council of <br />City Hall <br />South Bend, Indiana <br />Honorable Body: <br />1926 Trent B 'Iay <br />South Bend 14, <br />June 21, 1961 <br />the City of South Bend <br />Indiana <br />The League of `;Women Voters of South Bend urges you <br />to bring the proposed new building code out of the com- <br />mittee of the whole to the council floor for deliberation <br />and action. 'We believe the period of time which council <br />members have had to study the proposed code is sufficient <br />for informed decisions to be made at this time. <br />In 1954 the South Bend League made a study of build- <br />ing codes and went on record as advocating an up -to -date <br />and comprehensive building code for the city. ?'We also <br />recognized the desirability of a performance code rather <br />than a specification code. <br />Since that time a new building; code has been present- <br />ed to the council to replace an outdated and unworkable one,, <br />which is unworthy of a progressive city like South Bend. <br />If there are objections to or questions concerning some <br />provisions in the code, let them be heard by all and, if <br />necessary, amendments made so as to speed ratification of <br />the entire code. <br />k <br />Yours very sincerely, <br />P.irs. George I. Brown <br />President, League of <br />';Women Voters of South <br />Bend <br />
