Refund for Builders Appropriation To Be Asked
Commissioner Macfarland proposes Congress provide a deficiency appropriation to reimburse Washington builders and contractors who paid excess permit fees after July 16 due to a delayed action on pre July 15 applications. At least four builders face losses as old rates of 31 for each permit were superseded by a higher schedule. one applicant, James L Parsons, paid 360 for a permit filed July 9 but approved July 16. Parsons argues he shouldn’t bear the extra 59 and seeks reimbursement. the building inspector and acting engineer recommended the higher charge. The matter was reviewed by the commissioners and Macfarland urged Congress to cover the excess fees.
