Building code under fire Special to The Bulletin PRINEVILLE Prineville's building code and on-the-site building inspection came under fire at city council meeting Tues day evening, in city hall. Two lo cal contractors, visiting the meet ing, asked councilmen for a more thorough building inspection on new construction. Les Fridley and Hilmer Jones, builders, cited foundations they believed to be faulty which they had observed being poured for new homes in the city. Both con tractors told councilmen they had never been visited, during a con- istruction job, by Fred Stone, the I city building inspector. Jones added that he felt the present city construction code is inadequate, but added that en forcement of the existing code would "at least assure a reason able building." He added, with emphasis, "If you don't have a good building code, and don't enforce the one you do have, you'll soon have shacks next to good homes throughout the city." Fridley suggested that the building fee might be abolished if the city inspector is not inspect ing construction, and thus save contractors some money. Councilmen. after some sur prise and bewildered comment. agreed that the contractors had presented a qualified complaint Confusion changed to concern, and H was agreed to ask Stone to ap pear at the council's luncheon meeting Wednesday noon for fur ther discussion. Stone, a former contractor, is paid $25 a month for his inspec tion services.
