- . - . : r . British: VeUclea Ttloye Up inSnow in Italy Reports From Code Repeal Brings Protest . Building Regulation Repeal Followed by Resignation SILVERTON Lowell E. Brown this week handed in his resignation as a member of -the city planning commission, siring s his reasons the repeal of ; the building code at the April meet ing of the city council. Mr. Brown, in his letter of res ignation, addressed to Mayor Re ber Allen, stated that "The recent acts of the city council in i re pealing the code and permitting further use of public streets for private merchandising, all i of which appears to be entirely for personal reasons, indicated to me that the work of the planning commission is of no value to the city." j Mr.. Brown has served as chair man of the commission since its conception over two years ago. Study of the recent adopted and rescinded building code, occupied much of the early two years of the commission. . Mr. Brown further stated this week that the repeal of the code "is no doubt an attempt on the part of certain parties to prevent the adoption of improved building conditions in our city. "The code has been prepared by the Pacific Coast Conference of Building Officials and has been in use in Salem since the year 1928. It is true that they have found it necessary to make certain amend ments to the code to. fit local con ditions. The same thing can . be done in Silverton if real cause can be shown. "It Is signifcant that those op posed to the use of the code have declined to place their specific ob- jections in writing in order that they can be placed before the proper authorities for clarifica tion." The . commission recommended . the passage of the code and held a public hearing prior to its adop : tion by the city council. At the time of the public hearing no one - appeared to object to its passage, but at the subsequent city council meeting some objection was ad vanced by I C- Eajpan. Mr. Eastman was asked to put these objections into writing, but at the April- meeting of the council May or Allen! stated no such letter had been received from Mr. Eastman. The building code controversy at Silverton has attracted wide at tention In recent weeks. Pre Easter pinner Party U Held DAYTON Maj. and Mrs. For rest D.
