City To Modify Present Fire @de
A IIo wing Us e o f Woo d Facings
The Shelton City Commission is planning to amend the
present city fire ordinance to allow the use of wood or other
combustible veneer fronts on buildings in the city provided
they have a non-combustible backing.
The new amendment has the approval of the State Fire
Marshal's office as well as that of the Insurance Under-
writers and came as the result of a conference held here
last week on this matter. The city had recently ordered
Dean Palmer, owner of Dean's Studio, to tear down the
front on his new building on Railroad Ave. The letter to
Palmer brought the matter to a head and representatives
of the State Fire Marshars office, the Simpson Logging
Company, the City of Shelton and the Insurance Under-
writers got together and worked out a modification to the
present ordinance.
Mayor Earl Moore issued the following statement on
the proposed new amendment:
"FAIR AND effective enforce-
ment of all existing city ordinan-]
ces is the duty and obligation of
I
tim Mayor and his fellow Commis-
sioners."
"More often than not, this
means enforcing rules of conduct
adopted by previous elective offi-
cials. Many such m'dinances pre-
vailing in Shelton go back 20 or
30 years, or even longer."
"Reexamination and interpreta-
tion of these ordinances in the
light of present day facts is a
proper procedure which we try to
follow."
"Sch a tep has bee ntaken in
the cae of "City fire zoning apply-
ing to the use of building mate-
rials in business district construc-
tion. Such zoning is necessary to
the protection of both people and
property."
"Within recent weeks, the city
has been concerned with a new
wood front placed on a Railroad
Avenue business building. Under i
the city fire zoning ordinancel
adopted in 1938, this type of con-I
struction in the fire zone involved

IWA Wants
