Lawrence Veiller, head of the Charity Organization Society department, objects to the draft code now before the Board of Aldermen. He cites failure to separate elevator shafts from stairs and criticizes area limits that favor stores over theatres, as well as overlooked open spaces for light and ventilation and vague definitions for dwellings and apartments.
