He replaces Ray Har rison who resigned Tuesday eve ning at the regular meeting of the city council. Harrison's resignation becomes effective Aug. 8, according to News-Review Correspondent Mrs. Robert Nichols. He and his family are moving to Portland later in Ihe month.

Councilmen examined bids on blanket liability insurance for the city. Ken Bailey Insurance Agen cy, Roseburg, entered the winning low bid.

The con struction will be exempt from con forming, but the builder or owner must formally tile the permit. ao plication. After September, all construction will come under pro visions of the law. Coast Cad Used The overall guide In Douglas County will be the uniform build ing code of Ihe Pacific Coast Building Officials Conference. The code, widelv used throughout the West, was first published in 1927. Constant revision keeps it up to date. The primary purpose of the rode is to furnish in one book the fundamental requirements ne cessary lo enable a county (or citv) buildin official to provide building regulations in accordance with modern building methods in order to assure public health safety and welfare. Boniol said builders and others should feel free to droo bv his office or call (he office in reard to questions. He has the latest code books. Valuations Prottcttd The main advantage of his new deoartment. Boniols said, is that building valuations can be uoheld. The county has been a sore spot to financing organizations because of lck nf protection asainst Ihe tvw nf adjoining building which might be constructed. Besides protection to contractors and subdivides, Boniols noted that house buvers can now be as sured of good construction, with nlumbing, heating, wiring, etc., up to par. The work of his office will also go far toward clearing up the "blight" areas of the county, the inspector believes. Although t h e law is not retroactive, further con struction of deficient buildings can be prevented. 70 Youngsters, .
