It shall be unlawful for any firm, corpora- tion, person, owner, arohltect,.lessee, builder, occupant or other person to commence or proceed w~th the erection, cons~ruction, alteration, repair, xe moving or demolishing (restoration of plaster and painting except) of any building or part of any building or other structure within the city limits (other than building or part of any building or other structures erected by the City of Santa Ana, County of Orange, State of California) unless a permit to do such work ha~ first been obtained aa herein provided. Any person or persons desiring such permit shall file with the building inspector (on a blank to be fu~nished by said Building Inspector) an application therefor. Such appli- cation shall give the location of the proposed building, erecti~ and alterations or repairs, moving or demolishing by lot,block. tract and house number (obtained frmm the City Engineer) ~ other description from the records of the County of Orange, (or other records) so as to be readily identified; the general dimensiions, number and height of stories, name of the firm, corporation, person owner, lessees, architect, builder, occupant or other person con- templating such work, and shall give a full and complete estimate of the cost of the work, state for what purpose the building is designed to be used, and contain such other information as re- quired by the form of application in use. If upon examination of any application for a permit to do any buildin~, outside of Fire District No.1. the building inspector shall find the cost does not exceed $20 in value, he may issue a permit but shall not charge a fee for same. Such applicant for a permit upon deman~ shall also file with the building inspector, where the building exceeds $100 in Fire District No.1, $3000.00 in value in district No.2, a complete set of plans and specifications covering the work to be done, which said plans and specifications shall remain on file in the Office of the building inspector five years after completion and occupancy of the building and no longer. All such plans and drawings shall be drawn to a scale not less than one-eighth of an inch to a foot on paper or cloth, in ink or by some other process that will not fade or obliterate. All dimensions and Aistances shall be accurately figured and draw- ~ngs made explicit and complete. All said plans presented shall be accompanied by a set of specifications describing all materials to be used in the proposed building and in any case requiring special calculations or knowledge of strength of materials, the building inspector may require such strain sheets and copies of calculations as he may deem hecessary. If upon examination the building inspector shall find that the plans and specifications of the completed work are not in accordance with the Ordinance of the City of Santa Ans. He shall indicate such deficiency in writing on a correction sheet and return the drawings and specifications with such correction sheet to the appli- cant for the permit, and no permit shall be issued until such draw- ings and specifications have been corrected. When plans and specifications are within the meaning of this Ordinance they shall be accepted and a permit issued and the building inspector shall stamp such plans and specifications as follows: viz: Plans accepted for construction subject to the re- quirements of the Building Ordinance of the City of Santa Ana, State of California. The stamping of any plans or specifications shall not be held to be a permit or to be an approval of any violation of this Ordinance. When permit is given, a card shall accompan? it,showing number of permit and this card must be posted in a conspicuous spot ~1aee on the building, at all times during construction. If such permit ha~ been granted, plans shall not be changed except in minor details not affecting structural parts, stairways, elevator shafts, fire escapes or means of communication or of egress, or ingress, without notice having first been given to the building inspector and his approval obtained, and if such change increases the cost of the proposed work, the building inspector shall be paid an additional fee for such change in ~ccordance with schedule of fees, hereinafter provided, such work to be charged for as an additional permit, and in any case where a separate or ~dditional permits are taken out on any work, such permits are to be charged for as additional permits in such case.

Section 12. It shall be unlawful to erect any building Over one hundred and fifty (150) feet in height, measured from the sidewalk level, to the top of the cornice, and said cornice shall in no case project more than 6 feet and 6 inches from the building line where said building line is per pendlculaZ from the street line. Parts of buildings may exceed the height of one hundred and fifty (150) feet providing all parts fall below a line drawn upward at an angle of 45 degrees from the extreme outer edge of the above named projection cornice. Class "A" buildings shall be what is ordinarily building as fire-proof buildings. The walls must be built of fireproof material consisting of masonry walls or of filler walls carried on a skeleton construction of iron or steel beams which must be properly fireproofed or of re-inforced concrete. Trim, window frames, finish floors, sash and doors and all of what is ordinarily known as the interior trim of the building, may be of hardwood in a class "A" building below the level of the 9th floor, but above this level all trim and floor surfaces, dR~1 ~ndow frames and sash must be of metal or wood ~overed witS~61~er incombustible material.

Where skeleton steel construction is used cast iron columns may be used where height of building does not Sxceed 5 stories. Where cast iron wrought iron, or steel columns are used they must be protected by masonry casing not ].ess than 3 inches in thickness on allsides, unless concrete is used in which case the minimum thickness shall be used. Where in casing masonry is other than concrete there shall be a space of not less than one inch left between the masonry and the column, which space shall be filled solidly with liquid cement grout as the courses are laid up. This inch may be figured as part of the thickness of the casing, where masonry of any description is used it must be thoroughly bonded together with metal rods or wire. Wrought iron or steel girders in outside walls shall be similarly covered with masonry tied and bonded but the extreme outer edges of the flanges or beams and plates or angles connected to the beams may project to within one inch of the outside surfaces of the masonry casing. A facing of granite, marble or other stone which i~sub- Ject to disintegration by heat shall not be considered as fire- proofing. In no case shall a granite or marble column be used to carry a wall exceeding one story in height. No pipes, electrical wires or conduit of any kind shall be encased in the fire-proofing surrounding any column, girder or beam of steel or iron but shall be placed outside of such fireproofing. Where the fireproof protection of columns may be exposed to damage from trucking or handling of merchandise, such fireproof protection shall be jacketed on the outside for a height not less than 4 feet, either with heavy sheet metal or hard wood str~ps not less than 2 inches thick. All exposed sides of iron or steel beams used to carry any portion of the load in the building shall be entirely encased as specified above for beams and columns. The filling between beams of fireproof floors when other thau a re-inforced concrete must correspond to the requirements of the building code of the National Board of Fire Underwriters as required in the edition of 1909. Section 14. Re-inforoed concrete construction when used in any building must meet the following minimum requirements; reinforced concrete shall be considered class "A" construction provided that the minimum thickness of concrete surrounding re- inforced members of columns shall be two inches, of girders and beams 1½ inches,of floor slabs 1 inch. D~&wings for re-inforced concrete buildings must specify the details of the re-inforcem%nt. In calculating the strength of the different parts of re-inferced concrete structures the following limitations must be observed. The size of columns, girders or bemms to be taken to the outside of the reinforcing material only. Concrete outside of re-inforcing materials to be considered as fireproofing only except in partitions which carry no loads, on which there shall be no such limitations. In isolated beams where steel is figured to develop full strength, the area of tensile reinforcement must not exceed one per cent of sectional area of beam, excepting that excess tensile re-inforcement may be allowed if compressive re-inforcement equal to 14 times the excess area of tensile reinforcement used. ~he following shall be the minimum requirements: Maximum allowable fibre stress in steel 16, OO0 pounds per square inch. Maximum shearing stress On concrete 50 pounds per square inch. Maximum direct compression allowed on concrete 500 lbs. per square inch, except in hooped columns where ?50 lbs. will be allowed. Maximum shearing stress in steel lO,COO lbs. per square inch. Adhesion of steel to concrete plain bars 50 lbs. per square inch of surface of bar, deformed bar 75 lbs. Ratio of moduli of elasti- city of steel to concrete 15 to 1. Design for reinforced concrete construction must conform to standard engineering practice and special care must be taken to see that proper precautions are followed when pouring to prevent weakening the structure. In no case must forms or supports be moved before the cement is properly set and not within 14 days in the case of slabs, beams and columns. The building inspector shall have authority to compel proper precautions being taken to insure correct casting, but this section shall not be construed as holding the building inspector or the City liable for defective construction. The contractor must be prepared to make load tests of twice the intended safe load if required by the building inspector on any portion of re-inforced concrete or steel constructed build- ing 30 days after such portion has been erected, and the parts es tested must not shew a deflection of more than 1/~00 of the clear span. All cement used in reinforced concrete work must be tested by a responsible tester. The building inspector may if he wishes, accept manufacturers' tests. All of these tests to meet the re- quirements specified by the American Society for Testing Materials. 182 Ail concrete for re-inforced concrete construction must be m~xed in a machine which mixes one complete batch at a time. Ail concrete shall be thoroughly mixed to a homogeneous mass before being placed in the forms. Hand mixing may be used, provided ten per cent more cement is used than would be required by machine mixing. The concrete must be of such proportions that it will resist a crushing strain og two thousand pounds per square inch, after hardening for twenty-eight days, but for reinbrced or plain concrete columns, the mixture shall not be leaner than one ~part of cement, three of sand, and five of the coarser aggregates in any case. In case where the building inspector is in doubt as to these requirements being met, he may compel tests to be made at the expense of the builder. Section 15. Mill constructed buildings to meet requirements of Class 'B" shall have exterior walls of masonry or other fireproof material and must meet tbs following minimum requirements for interior construction.

Depth of beam or joist Maximum span Distance on centers 6" 10' 16" 14" 84' 186 Beams and joists shall be figured to have a deflection of not more than 1/360 of the span under full load. Maximum fibre strain for Washington fir or what is known ordinarily as Oregon pine, must not exceed 1200 lbs, per sq. in. Where beams are short, their carrying capacity must be determined by their crushing strength at the bearings, and on long beams their carrying capacity must be figured so as not to exceed the deflection given above where plastered ceilings are used. Joists or girders shall not be cut in any manner for pipes or other purposes and where joists are the minimum depth re- quired for the span, they shall not be cut on the upper side more than one foot distant from the bearing partitions on which they rest. Where joists or timbers are cut for the purpose for running plumbing or steam pipes, piping or for other purposes such joists and timbers must be properly framed to sustain all floor levels as required by this Ordinance. Every wood beam except header beams must have a bearing at each end at lea~t 4 inches long and every girder or truss shall have a bearing of not less than g inches long.

Where the cap plate of a wood post supports a wood girder and a p~ t above, the bottom of the upper post shall extend to and rest on the cap of the post below, and posts and corbels must be r&gidly fastened to each other so that in case of failure of beam resting on one side of corbel, the beam on the other end will be held in place. All beams must be self-releasing and in any case when floor load exceeds 75 lbs. per sq. ft. iron or steel bolsters shall be used and bolted or lag screwed to column in such a way as ~o make a rigid connection. And beams must be so fastened as to make a~ie but be self releasing in case of fire. Corbels of wood may be used in post and girder construction where wooden posts and beams are employed but the safe crushing strength of the material must not be exceeded. Every wood header beam more than 4 ft. long used in any building except Class "D" construction shall be suitably framed and hung to the trimmer beams and stirrup irons of proper thickness, for the size of timber. Ends of tail beams shall be properly framed into the header beams or shall be carried with stirrup irons hung on the header beams. These requ~ements shall not necessarily be enforced in residence work. Studs in Class "D" buildings must not be less than 2 X 4 inches for the upper two stories and lower stories not less than 2 X 6 inches. The distance on centers in any case to be not more than 16 inches. In three story buildings 3 X 4 studs may be substituted for 2 X 6 in the lower story. Studding in all outside walls and main bearing partitions must be placed with the greatest dimension at right angles to the ~urse of wall. In non bearing partitions and one-story cottages having not more than 12 foot etude the studs may be 2 X 3 inches, shall be double width where plumbing is used, or 2" X 6" studs may be used. In bearing partitions a single 2 inch plate may be used underneath the studs, but at least a double 2 inch plate must be used for the top plate when the construction is carried up story by story. Where the span of wood joists exceeds g ft. there must be at least one row of 1 X 4 inch or 1} X 3 inch or 2 X 2 inch cross bridging for every 12' O" of span or fraction thereof. When Joists are lathed and plastered or concealed the block or fire stop not less than 2" thick must be cut in between the Joists over each bearing partition completely filling the space. Every stud partition over 9' high shall have a 2" bridging or fire stop, the full width of the studs cut in midway between floor and ceiling and when plates are not used for any height of studs there must be a 2 inch fire stop at top and bottom. In all buildings over one story high the joists must be securely tied to each other making a continuous tie from wall to wall and where Class "B" or Class "C" construction is used proper means must be taken to tie joists to masonry walls as specified under masonry construction. Where posts and girders are used under small buildings of Class "D"constr~ction the posts must be at least 4 X 4, spaced not more than 6' centers and no girder shall be less than 4 X 4". Rafters in class "B" or "C" buildin[s shall not be placed further apart than 24" on centers, and must be covered with boarding not less than 1" thick.

Buildings of Class "D" construction over one story in height shall have a continuous masonry founda- tion not less than g" thick below floor level and extend not less than 6" above finished grade. If such foundation is not more than 10' high it must be 6" thick if built of brick or 6" thick if built of concrete, and for every successive 10' of height below the top 10' the walls shall be increased 4 inches in thickness. 187 The footing for such a wall shall be not lees than 5© per cent wider than the wall resting on it. Under no circumstances shall a foundation of any brick or stone building be built on filled or made ground. Foundation shall be proportioned to the actual load they must sustain in the complete and occupied building and must be at least ~" thicker than the walls next above them, unless otherwise specifically provided for in this Ordinance. Details of foundation are subject to the approval of the building inspector and must conform with good engineering practice. For Class A, B and C buildings, the foundation walls shall have sufficient depth to be approved by the buildinginspector. A greater depth may be required by the building inspector if it is necessary in his Judgment in order to obtain the necessary stability. Piers shall be built of concrete or good well burned brick laid in cement mortar, except that ornmmental piers fronting on the street may be built of stone. Every masonry pier, buttress or pilaster exceeding in height four times its least dimension and carrying two-thirds of its safe load shall be bonded each 4' with cast iron plates or re-inforced concrete slabs or with heavy g~lvanized wire mesh of not less than $16 wire and not larger than 1/2 inch mesh. In brick piers where wire mesh is used it must be laid in full size of the pier every seventh course ~nd for piers fronting On a street bond stone to conform with the kind of stone for the trimming of the front may be used above the sidewalk level. Piers other than those in the front must be capped with iron or steel plates of proper strenght and size under all columns or girders. No stone post or pier for the support of posts or columns shall be used in the interior of any building, and marble or granite columns shall not be used for the support of any wall over one story high. Within ten feet of any property or curb line in any basement or any walled embankment over 4' high, shall have the design in specifications( and if required by the building inspec- tor strain sheets and calculations) placed on file ~th the build- ing inspector and approved by him before any constru~ion shall commence. A permit for this work shall be issued and charged for in the same manner as the building permit. Basement or foundation walls and piers must have footings of concrete or be built of other approved masonry laid up in cement mortar, proportioned to the sustaining value of the soil, and the load to be imposed thereon. Such footings shall be not less than 75 per cent wider than the walls which they carry, unless otherwise provided for in this Ordinance. Filler walls and light courts and shafts must be as specified under Class A construction. In Class "A" buildings shall be constructed of masonry of a thickness and supported as required for other masonry walls, but if built of skeleton construction, such walls shall have a minimum thickness of 6 inches of masonry and 3 inches for re- inforced concrete, and openings into such light shafts shall be equipped with standard fire doors ~nd shutters or with wire glass and metal frame windows. In Class "B" buildings and C construction , the walls of all light courts and shafts whose ground area exceeds 25 feet shall be constructed the same as required for Class "A" buildings, excepting that the minimum thickness of the masonry may be reduced to 4 inches. For interior light shafts in Class "C" buildings , the walls may be fireproofed by covering with metal lath andplaster on the exposed side, if sheathed solidly behind such plaster with ?/$" sheathing. If not over three stories high, masonry light court walls may be carried either on a masonry wall or a steel or con- crete beam, and must be backed with stud and tight board sheathing if walls are built of tile. Light court walls of masonry when used in Class "B" or "C" construction and not resting on other masonry walls must be securely supported dlrectly underneath the wall by post and girder construction. The walls and piers of all buildings shall be ~roperly and solidly bonded tosether with close joints filled with mortar, and in no case shall any wall or walls of any building be carried up over one scaffold in advance of any other wall without the special permission of the building inspector. All brick walls shall be bonded every 7th course or less with full header courses. In walls faced with cut stone Terra Cotta, or any such material and where such facing shall not be considered as part of the wall, and the wall must be built full thickness without considering such facing. Flemish bond work shall have full. headers every third course. When face brick or Ashlar are tied to masonry walls with metallic wall ties, at least one metallic wall tie shall be used to each two square feet of wall surface. In estimating the thickness of wall required for any building when table No. 1 is used, stories must not be taken to exceed the following dimensions: 12 ft. for the basement and 16 ft. for the first story, and 12 ft. for upper stories excepting top story, which may be 16 ft. when no ceiling joists are used. When table No.2 is used, the clear height of stories shall not exceed ll ft. for the base- ment 14 ft. for the first story, and ll ft. for the upper stories except the top story, which may be 14 ft. to the roof timbers, when no ceiling joists are used. If any story exceed the foregoing heights, given in either table, walls of such story and the walls below that story shall be increased 4" in thickness. 188 The external walls of all buildings used for the sale, storage or manufacture of merchaudise, office buildings, livery, boarding and sales stables and all public build- ings txaz and all other buildings over four stories in height shall be of a thickness not less than that indicated by the following table.

In any horizontal section in any wall, if there shall be more than 505 of openings, then such walls shall be in- creased at least 4½ inches in thickness and the walls below increased proportionately. In all walls, the same amount of material indicated by the tables may be used in piers, pilasters or buttresses,with proper filler walls between, or have hollow walls, but when such construction is employed, it shall be subject to the approval of the building inspector. Nine inch filler walls may be pcrmitted in one story buildings if strengthened by not less than 13 X 17 lnch piers spaced not more than 17 ft. on centers. All hollow walls shall be properly bonded together with brick, steel and terra cotta or with galvanized iron or steel ties not over three feet apart in any direction. When an offset or corbel is used in a wall, a chimney of masonry construction, the offset shall not exceed 1 inch for each course of brick. Furred masonry walls shall be provided with fire stops at each floor, and at least one point intermediate between the floors. When a chimney breast is furred out,the space between the chl=mey and the breast shall be so built that the passage of fire and smoke shall be prevented. All girders and joists shall be so anchored to the walls and to each other, as to make a continuous tie from wall to wall in each direction. The beams may be united by suitmble iron ties of not less than 1/2 inch sectional area spiked, bolted or so fastened as to develop the full strength of the tie, Wall anchors may be in the form of cast plates with lugs turned up into the beams and with a lug extending down into the brick work at least 4 inches at a point in the brick work not more than 4 inches from the outer face of the wall, or 5/g inch round anchors may be used as hereinafter required for Joists. Joist anchors shall be of 5/8 inch round iron at least 18 inches long with 5/8 X lO inch "T" head or a 6 X 6 inch iron washer not less than 3/$ inch thick securely fastened to the end.

The inner ends of the anchors shall be securely tied to the beams or joists in such a way as to make the anchor self-releasing. Inner ends of joists may be spiked for a continuous tie. When joists run approximately parallel with the walls, they shall be anchored to the walls with anchors of a cross section of at least 1/2 square inch in sectional area. These anchors to exten~ over at,least the Second joist from the wall, and to be fastened in the walls in the same manner as described for the anchors above, Anchors shall not be more than 8' apart in all walls, and at each tier of joists above the first tier. Fire walls shall be anchored as described under fire walls. Where iron or steel girders are used, they shall be anchored back into the wall securely with anch(~s approved by the building inspector. Every girder or truss including porches) ' 189 used with masonry construction, shall have a bearing of not less than g" in length and the total load on such bearings shall not exceed 500 lbs. per squ~re inch. A bond of at least No.16 galvanized iron netting not over 1/4" mesh, 2 inches less than the width of the wall, shall be placed two courses below each tier of floor and ceiling joist of each building over three stories in height, and run around the entire walls of the build- and lap full width at intersectionS. The ends of all wood floor and roof beams where they rest on brick walls shall be cut with a bevel of 3" in their depth. The walls between Joists must be carried up solidly, full width to the top of the joists and each wood beam entering the masonry wall must be separated from any other be~zs entering such a wall, by at least 8 inches of solid masonry. Party walls shall not be less than 4½ inches thicker than required for external walls in the preceding tables, or walls may be built of a thickness required in the tables and the corbeled ledges be built out to carry the joists. In $~se the wa/lis corbeled the corbelling shall be carried to the top of the joist. Walls built before the passage of this Ordinance and used or to be used as party walls, and whose thickness at the time of their erection was in accordance with the requ~ements of the then existing laws, which do not now meet the requirements of this Ordinance, may be used if in good condition for the ordinary use of party walls, provided that the height of the building is not increased, and it can be shown to the satisfac tion of the building inspector that such walls shall carry the load to be placed thereon. All exterior party walls over 15' high she/1 have parapet walls not less than g" in thickness carried 2' above the roof. For warehouses, factories, stores and other buildings used for commercial or manufacturing purposes, the parapet wall shall be not less than 12 inches in thickness, and all party and division walls shall be carried 3' over the roof.

Such spikes or bonds must be not farther than 12 X 16 inches apart. All walls, piers and girders used as underpinning in Class A, B and C buildings shall be constructed of concrete, hard brick, or steel. The designs, specifications, and calculations for such walls, piers and girders shall be submitted to the build- ing inspector and approved by him before construction shall commence. Ail chimneys and flues hereafter constructed in buildings of two stories or more, shall be of brick or masonry. Flues where wood or coal are used, shall be not less than y½ X ?½". Their enclosing walls must be at least 4"thick, and except in dwellings, apartment houses and tenement houses, shall, if less than g" thick, be lined on the inside with burnt olay or Terra Cotta flue lining, not less than 3/4" thick, and such lining shall start at the lowest point where any smoke enters the flue, and shall be continuous to the top. Where flue lining is not required, the inside of the chimney shall be plastered smoothly for the entire height, and on the outside where passing through joists or roof. Terra Cotta or cement flues may be used on one-story cottages, when approved by the building inspector. Chimneys in all buildings (other than one-story resi- dences) must start from concrete base laid on the ground, built plumb from the ground. None but Terra Cotta or iron thimbles shall be used, and plastering must be done directly on the brick or masonry around thimble, or wire lath may be used, but no wood lath.must approach within 5" of any thimble.

The brick work of the smoke flues of all low pressure boilers, furnaces, bakers' ovens, large cooking ranges, large laundry stoves, and flues used for commercial purposes, shall be at least g" in thickness, and where subjected to high temperatures, mu~t be lined on the inside with well burned olay or Terra Cotta pipe, and shall be properly capped with coping . Where any flue is subjected to a very high temperature the building inspector may require additionally thick walls and a lining of fire brick or other material. Chimneys built outside of frame structures or in light wells thereof, shall be well stayed at intervals of not less than 10'. All chimneys and flues shall extend 2, above the highest point of a flat roof or fire walls, and at least 18" above the ridge of a peaked roof except when a chimney is 10' from the peak it may be stopped level with the same. If a chimney rises above the roof for more than six times its least dimension, it shall be anchca, ed to the roof with an iron rod or pipe, not less than 1" in diameter, running clear through the chimney and properly secured to it, and all such chimneys shall be laid in cement mortar. Chimneys and stacks connected with steam boilers shall extend not less than 10' above the wood work of the roof of any adjacent roof within 50' and if sawdust and shavings or wood are used for fuel, the chimney shall extend 20' above such roof and be provided with a spark arrestor. Spark arrestors shall be placed upon all chimneys and stacks when deemed necessary by the building inspector for the safety of property or to abate a nuisance. Where a building is situated adjacent to one taller, and it is necessary to oa~ry chimneys to height of taller build- ing the owner of taller building must allow attachment of flue to his building. Chimneys and flues from boilers, r~taurant and hotel ranges, b~kers' ovens and similarly unusually hot flues, must be left exposed to the ceiling of the roof, in which connection is made with the chimney. The building inspector may order a higher chimney when necessary to abate a nuisance or for safety. All fire places and chimney breasts where mantels are used (except gas grates), whether maintained for an ordinary fireplace or not, shall have trimmer arches to support the hearth. Arches shall be of brick, iron or masonry, at least 24# wide, measuring from the face of the chimney breast, must extend clear across the chimney breast. Hearth shall be of fireproof material.

Hollow tile may be used for bearing walls in buildings three stories or less in height, or for enclosure walls of skeleton constructed buildings of any height, where the wall is carried on beams at each story, but not in party walls which must be built solid. Thickness of walls must conform to the following schedule: First Second Third One story 6" Two story g" 6" Three stories 12" 10" 6" Where tile work is exposed to the weather, the outside must either be plastered, or some approved means taken to waterproof it. Where a girder or beam rests upon a wall so that there is a concentrated load of two tons or over, some means must be taken of supporting the end of the girder either by filling the tile solidly or with a concrete or iron plate. No tile shall be loaded to an excess of 150 lbs. per sq. inch of net section in compression, if set on end, or 75 lbs. if set on side, unless a specisl permit shall be issued by the building inspector for some special method of construction. All hollow tile for exterior walls or bearing partitions, must be laid in cement mortar. A bond composed of wire mesh not less than 20 guage for 1/4" mesh, or 16 guage for 1/2" mesh shall be placed the full width of the wail every fourth course. This mesh must be not coarser than 1/2" and of galvanized wire. Where there is a concentrated load, some approved method mu~t be used to take care of the load at that point. Hollow blocks and artificial stone must meet the same requirements as laid down for hollow tile and masonry construction. Artificial stone made of Portland cement and incombustible and fireproof material, may be used as a substitute for any natural stone, provided it will maintain a crushing load of 2000 per sq. ft. of net area. Section 22. All excavations shall be guarded and pro- tooted as to prevent the same from becoming dangerous to persons or p~operty. When necessary precautions must be taken to prevent the caving in of the sides,and the building inspector is hereby given authority to order such to be done when necessary. The depth of ll feet below the adjacent curb level is hereby fixed as the standard depth of foundations. Basement unde~sidewalks must not extend farther from the building than to within 3' of the curb line. Sidewalks shall be designed and eom tructed to sustain a safe live load of 250 lbs. per sq. ft. 191 No openings shall be placed in any sidewalk extending beyond the property line except such openings am are herein expressly author- ized. There may be openings provided they are covered by metal sidewalk trap doors, thc outside edge of which shall be not less than 4' from the outside edge of curb. Every such opening shall be provided with proper guards extending $' above the height of the sidewalk, and surroundin~ the openinz w~ sidewalk doors are opened. There may also Be openings Yn the sidewalks properly covered For the admittance of fuel,or for meters. All sidewalk openings must be covered with metal doors~ designed to sustain s~e load as the sidewalk with the top properly roughened to prevent slipping. No permmment gratings or openings of any form shall be allowed in any sidewalk. No bay window shall be allowed to project beyond the property line, on any public street or alley. Balconies con- structed of iron or steel or masonry, may project not over 3' from the lot line if constructed to sustain a live load of two hundred pounds per square foot, but such balconies must be at least 10' in the clear above sidewalk. Main entrances of build- ings may project not to exceed 12" beyond the property line. Bases of columns and pilasters other than at the main entrance, may project beyond the building line not over 9", but other than these no projections shall be allowed. Where floor lights are used, the glass in no case shall be less than 3/4" in thickness and if any glass measures more than 16 sq. in. it mu~t be provided with strong wire ne~ting, either cast in the glass or suspended below. Such floor ligh~ and sidewalk lights must be constructed to sustain the same load as required for the floors or sidewalks in which they are placed. Before any public street, alley, or sidewalk, is partially occupied or obstructed in any greater degree than specifically ~llowed by this section, or used for any purpose in connection with work governed by this Ordinance, a permit for such use must first be obtained from the building inspector, for which a fee of one dollar shall be charged. When any excavation is completed, which occupies sidewalk area of a public street, it sha~l be compulsory that there be constructed over such excavction, a sub- stantial temporary walk so constructed and m~tntained at all times as to afford s~e and free and unobstructed passage for pedestrians. This sidewalk must be maintained at a level with the surface of the street at a not greater elevation than 4' above the sams, and must be not less tha~ 6' tn width. Around any excavation which fronts directly on the street, a substantial fence or railing must be maintained on such street frontage, but no fence, signs or similar obstructions shall be placed higher than 6' unless inside the center, line of the sidewalks next the property line. It shall be unlawful to erect any building on a property line at the sidewalk unless during the erection of such building, if within the ~irs limits, a temporary canopy is maintained at least 10' above the sidewalk, the full length of the front of the building, and extending the full ~idth of the side~alk, The top of ~uch canopy shall be constructed of 2" planking, and properly carried on posts and beans. This canopy must be constructed in such a manner as to afford ample protection to any person passing on the sidewalk, but the side of this temporary structure next to the street must not be boarded up or covered with signs, but where raised above the street level, must be protected with a railing. Sidewalks, streets or alleys must be occupied only in connection with the actual erection, repairs, alteration, re- moval or demolition of a building, and it shall be unlawful to occupy or obstruct any part of any street, alley or sidewalk unless such q~rations are actually in progress on premises abutting on such part of street, alley or sidewalk. At least one-half of the width of the side,~alk and not less than lC' O" of the width o~ any alley, must be left un~ obstructed arid clear in every way at all times, and it shall be unlawful to occupy more than on~-fourth of th~ width of the road- way o~ any street in connection with any building operation. If there be a car track on any street, there must be ~ clear space at least 4' O" wide left alongside of such track. It shall be unlawful to store earth from excavations or rubbish or raterial taken From any building on the sidewalks or the roadway of any street or alley, but the same must be removed ~rom day to day. Proper precautions must be taken to lay the dust ~rom all rubbish being handled in connection with building operations. When any material is stored on any sidewalk or in any street o:~ alley, a red light must be maintmined during the whole of every night at each end of any such obstruction, Section 23. The following data shall govern all cal- culations made in connection ~ith t~le ordinance. The dead loads in mll buildings shall consist oF the actual weight oF wall~, floors, roofs, partitions and all perma- nent construction, and the live loads ehal~ consist of all loads other than dead loads. Every floor and roof shall be of suf~i- cient strength in all it~ parts to bear safely upon every squmre Foot of its surface a total load consisting of a dead load and the following live loads: Dwelling houses ..

When calculating the necessary strength of columns in all buildings over 5 stories in height it shall be permiesable to reduce the live load 5 per cent for each succeed- ing floor below the top floor until 50 per cent of the live loads fixed by the preceding section is reached. When such reduced loads shall be used for all remaining floors down to and including the second floor, but the full live load shall be taken on the first floor. All beams and girders mu~t be calculated to support the full live and dead loads. The weight placed on any floor of any b~lildi~g shall be safely distr~buted thereon and the buildiug lnspec~or may require the lighteniuE or re-distribution of any load when he deems it necessary. ~hen any pa~t of any building is used for storage of any materials or for manufacturing purposes, there shall be posted in a conspicuous place on each floor, on a form to be supplied by the building inspector, a statement as to th~ load that the floor may ~m safely carry per superficial foot, 'and the floor must not be loaded beyond this capacity. Compu- tation of this load to be made by the building inspector. It shall be deemed a misdemeanor to overload such a floor. When no test of the sustaining power of the soil is made, different soils shall be deemed to safely sustain the ~ollowing loads per superficial foot~ Soft clay one ton: Ordinary clay and sand together in layer wet and springy, two tons: Loamy clay or fine sand dry, 3 tons; very firm coarse sand or still gravel 4 tons, hard pan 4 tons. When a test is made of sustaining power of the soil the building inspector may modify these requirements but he shall be notified when such test is to take place and may be present either in person or by representative. The report of the test shall be filed in the office of the building inspecto=, and when doubt arises as to the safe sustaining power of the soil upon which a building is to b.~ erected, the building inspector may order borinss or other tests to be made to determine the safe load for estimating the load or footings the following con- ditions must be observed: Warehouses and factories, fu~l dead and full live load to be taken. In stores and buildings for light manufacturing purposes, and in buildiugs for public assemblages or amusement, full dead load and ~5 per cent o~ the ~ive load; in office build- ings, hotels, apartment houses, dwellings, stables, a full de,el load and 60 per cent of live load. Footings must be so designed as to make the load as nearly uniform as possible. Safe bearing load on brick work shell be taken as g tons per superficial foot when lime mortar is used. When lime and cement mortar are used ll~ tonsl when cement mortar is used 1~ tons. For rubble stone work 5 tons per superficial foot shall be the maximum load, when lime mortar is used, g tons, when cement moztar other than Portland is used; y tons when lime and cement mortar are used~ 10 tons when Portland cement mortar is used; a ss~fe bearing load of concrete shall be taken at g tons per superficial foot, when other than Portland cement is used, and l~ tons when Portland is used. Materials used in the construction of buildings shall be of good quality for the purpose intended. Cement must meet the requirements of American Society for Testing Materials, and steel shall meet the standard requirements. Should any doubt arise as to the quality of materials the building inspector ms~ order tests to be made under his supervision and m certified copy of such test shall be filed with him ~t the expense of the con- tractor.
