Commissioner was approved by the Board:
May 29, 1945
To the Board of Public Works and Safety,
South Bend, Indiana
Gentlemen:
The requirements of the new State Building Code vary considerably from those '
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-
Iwriters' Standards for one, two, three or four hour fire resistance.
'Tentative plans for the apartment houses for the South Bend Housing Authority i P P � y
'the Maggies Court Area are prepared according to the requirements of the State Code. These
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 mire exposure, I feel that
we will be justified in permitting these eight -inch walls on condition that they be made
of brick throughout and are provided with cross -walls at approximately twenty -foot inter
• vals.
Very truly yours,
(s) D. Moomaw, Building Commissioner
