Horncr Makes Recommendations for New Denver Building Code Farewell Luncheon lor Tom Dant

A. C. Horner, manager of the Western office of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, San Francisco, arrived home December 10 from a 1S-day trip to Denier, where he went at the request of the Denver Retail Lumbermen's Association to make a study of existing conditions with a view to obtaining relief from the severe restrictions on the use of lumber in the present Denver building code, and to make recommendations as to ways and means of obtaining such relief.

Several meetings were held, one of which was attended by retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers, and after a solid week of investigation a program was drawn up and the newly appointed city building code committee was asked to give consideration to two major and several minor points, Mr. Horner said.

The major points were a very considerable reduction in the area of the fire limits of the city, and an increase in the allowable height of certain classes of building construction, chiefly the wood-joisted masonry wall building which is now practically limited to two stories.

Some time ago at the request of the Denver retail' lumbermen the city council appointed a committee to draft a new building code, and it is this committee with which the lumbermen are now working. .The committee has adoptecl the Pacific Coast Uniform Code as the basis for the proposed new building code, and the manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers e;<pect to combine in asking for fair treatment at the hands of the Denver City Council.

Mr. Horner flew to Denver from San Francisco, leaving at midnight November 24 anrl arriving in Denver at noon the next day ready for business, with the loss of only half a business day. He was scheduled to return by air but was prevented from doing so when all planes were grounded owing to the stormY weather.

Tom Dant was given a farewell luncheon by his wholesale lumbermen friends at the Jonathan Club, Los Angeles, on December 5.' He left for Portland, Oregon, the first of the month and plans to leave for the Orient the latter part of December on an extended trip in the interests of Dant & Russell, Inc. Mr. Dant has made his headquarters in Los Angeles for the past several years as California and Arizona manager of Fir-Tex of Southern California.
