Minneapolis Council Roofing Ordinance

Minneapolis, Aug. 13.-The long drawn-out controversy which has been bitterly fought against the passing of an ordinance in this city, which would prohibit the use of wood shingles, proposed by Fire Chief Ringer and Building Inspector Houghton, was definitely settled in the Council Chambers this morning, when the City Council, sitting at their regular meeting, accepted the recommendations of the Legislative Ordinance and Fire Committees of the City Council who, at a meeting on the 5th of August, rejected the proposed Anti-Shingle Ordinance by a unanimous vote and accepted, in the same manner, the Ordinance submitted by the lumbermen of this city.

The ordinance, which becomes effective September 1st, prohibits the use of wood shingles as well as all roofing material known as Class "C" or of a lower grade within the fire limits, but outside the fire limit permits the use of Class "C" roofing, as well as wood shingles when cut edge grain and five shingles measured at the butts to be not less than two inches, known commergially as 5 to 2, and, then only when laid in such a manner as will give longevity and applied with rust-proof nails which will add materially to the life of the shingle as well as give greater fire protection.
