Hanawalt Says Shtngle Ordtnance Iust A Rumor

Mr. Barrett Ilanawalt, of the Hanawalt Spaulding Companyr, Los Angeles, has made a repo,r.f for the committee appointed to investigate the rumored anti-w,ooden shingle ordinance to be proposed,.in Los Angeles.

Mr. Hanawalt in his report said that it looked to the committee like another case of what could be stirred up by an enthusiastic news hunter with an agile typewriter. tt seems that a copy of the recently adopted Berkeley ord.inance was shown to some of the Los An,geles officials who remarked th'at it cbrried so?ne very good c.-lauses, and in the n-ext few- days it was reported in various of the daily papers, that such a law was about to,tre adopted by the-Lbs-Angeles City,Council.

As far as can tre learned, there has been no proposal for such a law made, and neither the Safety Committee nor the officials of the Firs Department have considered drafting such a law.

Becau'se each kiln 6ad is teste-d separately before, during and after kiln drying to insure absolule uniiormity of mofsture content. Because it is nanufactured in. our modern daylight plants, built and equipped for the purpose, and is subjiotEd ai ..cli stage to.the most rigid te-st_s for qrrality and uni{arn grade.
