CINCINNATI CHAPTER, A. I. A.
At the regular monthly meeting of the Cincinnati Chapter of the American Institute- of Architects, May 21, a resolution was passed requesting the Associated Organizations to arouse public interest in the present condition of the building code of this city.
This arose out of criticism over the present conduct of the Building Inspector, who, the architects claim, is making laws instead of enforcing the provisions of the code. His action, it was stated, has caused them to become uncertain as to how to go about making plans which have features
out of the ordinary. Requests for his approval of such changes before they are put on paper have met with rejection. When the plans are submitted to the office for a building permit this has been refused, causing untold loss of time and money.
Joseph G. Steinkamp took a part in the discussion, reading one of the Building Inspector’s recent orders on how to make concrete. He also cited his ruling on foundation walls, claiming Mr. Kennedy insists upon one of seventeen inches for a house, when one of fourteen inches would answer the purpose and assure safety to the occupants of the building.
A. O. Elzner spoke of the efforts which had been made to revise the tenement-house features of the building ordinance, the changes of which were made by citizens. He was of the opinion that these departures would never meet with the approval of Council. Mr. Elzner, therefore thought it best that the Associated Organizations should demand that a commission of disinterested parties be appointed by Council to carry out this work.
The architects have revised. the general conditions which accompany every building contract let in Cincinnati. These changes were read at the meeting. It provides that all subcontractors shall be acceptable to the owner and architect. Where delay is caused by the owner or by conditions beyond the control of the contractor, the latter shall notify the architect within forty-eight hours after the occurrence of the trouble in order that his time of completing the work shall be extended accordingly. The owner shall pay
