Mr. George Cotsakis, Chairman
Building Committee

Board of Aidermen

Atlanta, Georgia 30303

Dear Mr. Cotsakis:

While we are totally in agreement with the idea of revising the
Atlanta Building Cade, we do not feel that there has been adequate time
for our Commitice or others to study the contents of the Code properly.

This document will have far reach in-effect on not only housing
construction but ail types of building in the Atlanta area.

If Atlanta is to stay competitive with other cities in this vital
area of our economy, our codes must be adjusted to all new acceptabie
techniques of building. We therefore urge the Building Committee to
withhold action on this revision of the Building Code for at least 30 days.
It does not seem to us that adopting the code now with the idea of
immediate revision is the best way to give the code creditability.

Regret that Iam unable to attend this morning s meeting.

Sincerely,

Cecil A, Alexander, Chairman
Housing Resources Committee
