CITY APPROVES NE\^/ WAY TO BUILD WALLS
Considerable impetus will be given to building in San Francisco by an amendment to the building code which rvas approved last week by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and has just been made into a larv by Mayor Rolph's signature.
This is the first amendment to the building ordinances since 1906 which permits the use of a less expensive material.
Heretofore all walls have had a backing of one-inch lumber sheathing over the studding. With the new amendment a patented backing for stucco or plaster walls, known as
Bishopric Base. is endorsed for use instead of the sheathing.
It was only after convincing proof and tests had been placed before the Board of Supervisors that this amendment was authorized, according to Leo Meyer, of MeyerMuzzall Co., San Francisco distributors for Bishopric Base.
"We showed that.similar amendments had been made in the building' codes of Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, New York and other leading cities," explained Mr. Meyer. "A comparative test conducted by several engineering companies proved absolutely that walls built with Bishopric Base were twice as strohg as walls built of one-inch lumber sheathing.
