City considers roofing rules as wooden shingles return
The city council plans to revisit wooden shingles at a semi monthly meeting. An ordinance by city attorney Harry M Reed would allow only best grade fire tested wooden shingles. The measure aims to satisfy both sides after earlier opposition and a public fire test rated high grade shingles acceptable. The committee will also propose licensing for advertising distributors and bill posters.
