Board of Public Works and Safety, i South -Bend, Indiana IGentlemen: The requirements of the new .State Building Code vary considerably from those 1 of our local code. The State Code is more liberal in its requirements for thickness of masonry walls for buildings in the Fire District. 'Their specification follows the Under • ':writers' Standards for one, two, three or four hour fire resistance. Tentative plans for the apartment houses for the South i3end Housing Authority i the Maggies Court Area are prepared according to the requirements of the State Code. Thele plans contemplate three-story fireporrof structures with eight inch walls for the second , and third stories, where our code calls for not less than twelve inch walls. !� As the Underwriters Laboratories classify eight inches of brick masonry as a (four -hour -fire-resistant wall, and the State Code requires one- to four -hour -fire-resis- tant walls for 'buildings in the Fire Districts, according to fire exposure, I feel that we will be justified in permitting these eight -inch walls on condition that they be made i�of brick throughout and are provided with cross -walls at approximately twenty -foot inter- • I vats.
