� _" <br /> , �r. Norm Osterby -2- <br /> Midwest, that have been umaittingly accepting below code shakes; and areas <br /> snch_ as- Californta,, �ahere tiu�lding inspectors with the same integrity and <br /> determination as Mr. Kohnen have i�sisted that the industry comply with <br /> the Uniform Building Code. <br /> d. The reaction of the Red Cedar Shingle and Handsplit Shake Bureau appears <br /> to be that excessive amounts of flat grain and/or other below grade <br /> characteristics will not hurt a Red Cedar roof. Translated, this can be <br /> interpreted to mean that the Association exists to enforce certain <br /> standards. but larger producer members have suggested that the Bureau <br /> routinely approve shipments that are in fact below grade. As the <br /> enclosure from Random Lengths shows, the Bureau has recoma►ended that <br /> standards be lowered to allow more flat grain and other characteristics <br /> not in compliance with the current code requirements. <br /> In other words, Mr. Kohnen is right . . . and� as I have pointed out above, he pursues <br /> his concern for compliance with the Uniform Building Code ethically: <br /> I will take the liberty of contacting you by phone on Tuesday, November 1, 1983 to <br /> discuss this letter and give you the names of other people to contact who will, I <br /> am sure, support Mr. Kohnen's position. <br /> Sincerely, � <br /> _/ _ = r :, , <br /> � � � <br /> �—__- '/ <br /> . -/%�C�'��'� . ;>�'' f , �� � j <br /> Briari Connors l -- ---- <br /> Canton Lumber Conipany <br /> BC:sj <br /> Enclosure <br />
