Urges Uniform
Building Code
"A common sense uniform
building code" which will protect
the safety and health of both
rural and city dwellers, is needed
in Nebraska, Prof. Linus Burr
Smith, Architecture department
chairman, told the Nebraska En
gineering Society Saturday.
He suggested that if "vested
interests" would prevent legisla
tive enactment ' of a fair and
workable code, one could be
adopted by co-operation and un
derstanding between labor, de
signers, contractors and materials
dealers.
Two Sections.
According to Smith, a uniform
building code might well contain
two sections a basic code includ
ing only the broad legal require
ments of what is to be done in
construction, alteration, addition
or demolition by stipulating min
imum requirements, and a con
struction code with sufficient
flexibility prescribing methods by
which the basic code might be ac
complished. For enforcing such a code, he
advicated the system used in In
diana. It consists of an adminis
trative council composed of the

The accompanying blank form
should be filled in by all men
wishing to participate and sent to
the Junior Chamber of Commerce
in Lincoln. Information contained
on the blank is solely for the pur
pose of organizing the local group
and the signing of it in no way
obligates or binds the signer to
membership.
Advantages.
In outlining advantages of be
ing a member, Campbell asserted
that those taking part in the re
serve unit may receive pay com
mensurate with their ability and
upon retirement may receive full
benefits. He added that not only
