WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 22. 1961 Building Code Urged for Boro Although there are now borough regulations providing inspection for fire hazards, no town ordinance exists that permits a full-time officer to enforce the rules, Lawrence J. Perez, president of the State College Borough Council, said recently. He explained that the fire marshal is granted the right to enter any building within bor ough jurisdiction and declare it “unfit for habitation,” but it is economically impossible for him to effectively take advantage of that right since the position only pays $250 a year. Perez, who is also assistant dean of the College of Engineering and Architecture, said he thought a letter written by students liv ing downtown requesting an or dinance to establish a building inspector’s position would have more weight than if any individ ual councilman brought it up at a borough council meeting. Commenting on the possibility of such an ordinance being adopted by the council, Perez said he would "like to see it, but everything costs money and I don't know if this town is ready or not."

Perez said everyone on the com mission felt it was not proper at that lime to tax all the real estate for a few individuals in town. “I would like to re-activate that commission,” Perez said. He noted that there have been two serious fires in the last few years, al though “we were lucky” and no loss of life was involved. “I don’t know the feeling of the new council,” Perez said, “but I would love to see the ordinance go through. We are blighted with all those old buildings.” Student Handbook Forms Applications for the business and editorial staffs of the Stu dent Handbook are now available at the Hetzel Union desk.
