Riassunto

Excerpt from Building Code, Recommended by the National Board of Fire Underwriters, New York: An Ordinance Providing for Fire Limits, and Regulations Governing the Construction, Alteration, Equipment, Repair, or Removal of Buildings or Structures

The Committee in presenting this completely revised edition, believes it offers to the public a safe, practical, conservative build ing ordinance which represents the best engineering practice of the day.

The revised edition contains three new features. One is the use of numerous notes scattered through the text, serving either as recommendations, cautions, or explanation. The second is the intro duction of cuts illustrating details of construction, and the third is the use of frequent cross references in the text which will aid in quickly finding allied subjects. The object of these changes is to make the Code a. Guide or text-book for the use of Commissions engagedin drafting building ordinances, and is designed to cover all the essential features of construction which such a Commission would be likely to discuss. The Committee recognizes it is impracticable to draft a standard code suitable for adoption without change by cities in all parts of the country. Local conditions must necessarily govern regulations covering sanitation, morals, or other important subjects which may be deemed desirable to include in the building code of a city but which are only treated incidentally here.
