COMMUNICATION The Common Council of the City of South Bend 1926 Trent Way City Hall South Bend, 14, Indiana South Bend, Indiana June 21, 1961 Honorable Body: The League of Women Voters of South Bend urges you to bring the proposed new building code out of the committee of the whole to the council floor for deliberation and action. We believe the period of time which council members have had to study the proposed code is sufficient for informed decisions to be made at this time. In 1954 the South Bend League made a study of building codes and went on record as advocating an up -to -date and comprehensive building code for the city. We also recognized the desirability of a performance code rather than a specification code. s Since that time anew building code as been presented to the council to replace an outdated and unworkable one, which is unworthy of a progressive city like South Bend. If there are objections to or questions concerning some provisio in the code, let them be heard by all and, if necessary, amendments made so as to speed ratification of the entire code. Yours very sincerely, /s/ Mrs. George Brown Mrs. George I. Brown President, League of Women Voters of South Bend Councilman Glass made a motion that the communication be accepted and placed on file. Councilman Lehman seconded the motion. Motion carried.
