After a thorough inspection it is my opinion that in ~eneral the construction indicated is apprcximately thirty per cent better than necessary under out City Code. In one or two instances the construction is in accordanc~ with National and State Codes but does not meet local requirements, particularly on the flour Unit type dwellings. However, due to the fact that said dwellings have separate entrances and exits; that all buildings are plastered, and are all one-story with no basements; it is my recommendation that in the interest of National Defense, we make an exception on this particular U2HA-Aided Defense Housing Project, and approve the plans and specifications s~bmitted to this department by the Local Housing authority.
