Swea t , Jr. Chief Administra tive Officer Cit y of At l a nta City Ha ll Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dea r Mr . Sweat: Th ank you very mu ch f or y our letter of Septemb er 9 and the enclosed c orrespondenc e between y ou and HUD regarding Section 114 of the City of Atlanta Plumbing Code . I n ote that on Page Two of HUD' s r ep l y to you r l etter the fol lowing appears : "Thus Section 114 of the Atlanta. Plumbing Code meets present Departmental standards as to content and intent if the section is interpreted to permit the choice of allowable materials on all floors constru cted to Building Code specifications . Such interpretation would also make this Section consistent with a policy of permitting the construction of housing at the lowest possible cost without lowering reasonable standards of safety and durability." In view of its very clear expression on this matter, it does not seem unreasonable to hope that HUD's interpretation will in the future be followed in the enforcement of Section 114 by the Atlanta Building Department.
