Holds Short Session Policeman Resigns; Code Is Amended OIL CITY The resignation of a member of the local Police Bureau and the passing of Council Bill 1435 for the third and final reading were the only two matters of business on the agenda for last night's city council meeting. Two verbal commendations were also presented to council by two of the city fathers. Councilman Jack Mackintosh stated that both the police bureau and the young Halloweeners were to be commended for their actions on the night Ole Witches jet through the air on their brooms. Mayor Ray Anderson joined in the Councilman Mackintosh remarating that the city is fortunate to have the type of youngsters we have, as compared to some other communities. Police Chief Edward Konetsky stated that the majority of the "trick or treaters" observed the curfew signal sounded by the fire department.

Mr. Mackintosh noted that there was little damage caused by the older group due to the curfew. being enforced by cruising police. In another matter, Councilman Steve Klos suggested that council write a letter to the county commissioners, thanking them for having one of the foot walks of the State Street Bridge filled with cement making it much easier for women pedestrians who wear narrow spike heels to walk across the span. Mayor Anderson asked Robert J.

Albertson, city managing director to write a letter of commendation to the county officials regarding the bridge improvement. Council accepted the resignation of Allen L. McLaughlin of 234 Pierce as a member of the Police Bureau. At his request, the resignation was effective Nov. 14.

He has accepted employment with a trucking firm. The third and final reading of the amendment to the city building code was approved following an inquiry by Councilman Paul Fox who asked if the Board of Appeals had been given a copy of the changes. City Managing Director Albertson stated that they had been informed of the "intent" of council to make the changes. Then Mr. Fox placed the bill before council by making the motion that it would be approved.

Councilman Mackintosh provided the necessary second. The amendment establishes criteria to be used by the Board of Appeals in determining a variation from any provision of the Building Code. The additional criteria are: 1. The use of the building with view to the rapidity with which it can be vacated under fire emergency and ease of evacuation. 2.

Location of the building in respect to its being within or without the fire zone and further the amount of hazard presented to other properties immediately adjacent thereto. 3. The board should determine what is reasonable and necessary to protect other adjacent properties from fire threat. 4. Particular consideration should be given to the number of stories of the structure involved, in that one structures require less protection of structural members than two or more stories.

5. The structure should be approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry. 6. When the contents of the structure are not combustible rated materials and when combustible materials are stored or maintained within the structure they shall be individually protected by appropriate fire safety devices. 7.

When the building is not to be used for the living or residential purposes then some latitude ought to be allowed in meeting the requirements of the Code. 8. The board also shall consider the type of housekeeping services that will be conducted within the building. 9. The owner or occupier of the building or both should indicate to the Board of Appeals his understanding of the risk involved and give statement of his willingness to accept the amount of hazard resulting from a variation of the code requirements.
