Wind damage hits British buildings in 1960s survey
A building research survey found over 800000 British structures suffered wind damage from 1962 to 1969 and that about 56 million pounds spent on repairs could have been saved if 1970 wind safety standards had been in effect sooner. The report cites Burger’s complaint as a factor and notes club cars will allow smoking while court press officer Banning E. Whittington says Burger and his wife are nonsmokers.
