THE MORXIXG OREGONIATf, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 102O -J xv""i ., i mi V Change of the present building code to permit the erection of three-story apartment houses of frame construc tion will he sought from the city council by City Commissioner Barbur, In chare's of the department of public works, it waa announced yesterday. The code, in its present form, limits apartment houses of frame construc tion to two stories. A request has been received from Hofmann & Ras msaeen, local architects, for permis sion to erect three-story apartment booses on &ast Twenty fourth street, between Cast Gllsan and Bast Hoyt 'street. H. 1. PIxtmmer. chief Ttrandtn In spector, to whom the application was referred, has submitted a report to Commissioner Barbur, In which, he approves the general plan under which the proposed apartment houses are to be constructed. Other Concessions Asked. The exemptions desired In connec tion with these apartment houses in etndVe the waiving of the section of the code which requires exterior bric-lc walls, which would make the cost of construction of the buildings too hlg-h. It is contended. A dressing room In each, apart ment without ventilation Is another eoncession desired In the application. Building Inspector Plummer in his report holds that, although restric tions in the building- code have proved good, present high costs of mate rials and labor might make It wise to permit the erection of three-story apartment houses under certain con ditions without complying with cer tain sections of the code. "The proposed apartment houses, said Mr. Plummer, "undoubtedly would be of high character, and if the council should grant the request it would be because of existing con ditions and not because the restric tions have been found to be faulty." Ilarhnr Reported Favorable. Commissioner Barbur, who has made an investigation of the re quest, is inclined to drop the bars and permit the erection of the three apartment houses proposed, and others, as well, under similar circum stances. Before the report is sent to the city council a conference will be held with Fire Marshal Grenfell to gain his approval. Architects and builders contend that the removal of these restrictions would tend to revive the building of apartment houses in Portland, It being contended that a three-story apartment house can be built cheaper per apartment than a two-story af fair, and as the roof a4 oundation for a three-story buildtaa ots little more than for a two-oiory building, the ultimate cost would permit a return on the capital Invested with out charging exorbitant rents.

Manufacturers of Ice cream today face the same problems that con fronted Pasteur when he first tried to get his great Idea adopted," said Paul Heath of Chicago yesterday in an address to the delegates of the fifth annual convention of the Pacific Ice Cream Manufacturers association at the auditorium. "Forward steps In the Industry are coming with speed and inventors have perfected the car bonic gas method of manufacturing to such an extent that it bids fair to displace, other methods." Mr. Heath Is one of the noted tech nical experts of this trade and he was one of the speakers on the morning programme. He addressed the as sembled delegates, now exceeding 700 in number, and spoke on the two main systems of manufacturing ice cream In vogue today, the aerated( method and the carbonic gas system. Heath stated that the carbonic meth od was better than the aerated meth od for the reason that the product was more compressed, that there was a lower bacterial content, that the manufacturing process was in closed vats away from the air and that the finished product would hold its re frigeration much longer. New Method Understood. "Dealers are beginning to get a better Idea of carbonic gas processes on account of their familiarity with the use of the freezing colls in their establishments," concluded Mr. Heath, "and we must not be back ward in adopting new methods If we wish to keep the trade at the same high mark it enjoyed last year, when the great American public spent over J500.000.000 for ice cream." Last night the basement of the au ditorium was thronged with several thousand visitors, who went to view the machinery and equipment dis played there at the first public open ing. Many of the exhibitors were on hand to explain the methods In vogue and found Interested groups who lis tened to their lectures. While the public was viewing the exhibits the nianjufaoturers were having a ro Heri table discussion of their general prob lems. Yesterday afternoon the visit ing women were the guests of the local members on an automobile tour of the city and environs. At their luncheon yesterday the delegates were given an illustrated talk on the va nilla industry. accounting Is Discussed. At the morning session W. D. Whit- comb gave an analysis of accounting problems. Mr. Whitcomb Is a mem ber of the Portland milk commission, and he urged a uniform system of keeping dairying accounts. He said that the uniform system was due to day, the exchange of costs would be the development of tomorrow, and that the future would likely show an elaborate interchange of ideas . by means of central bureaus that would result In greatly reduced costs. How the largest brewery in the San Joaquin valley in California had been transformed into an Ice cream plant was described by William Dreyer, of the Sierra Ice Cream company of Fresno, Cal., who discussed whole salers problems. Dr. W. P. Cutler, formerly health officer of Kansas City, emphasized the food values ot Ice cream and! opposed the present ten dency to extreme sugar content, which, he warned the delegates. might take their product out of the class of a food ana pmce it as a candy, as It was in many places already. The final business session win ne held this morning with the annual election of officers, and the grand finale of the session will be a ban quet at the Multnomah hotel tonight The exhibition will be open today and all day tomorrow.
