ject ' Any desired information can be turij^ to as quickly as to
a wcrd in a dictionary, This saviEg of «me is effected by means
of analytic cross-indexes, Moreover, in all doubtful matters the
meaning of the law is made clear by the aid of illustrations. The
volume contains not only lhe Building Code, but all laws and
régulations relatins to building, including the Mechanics' Lien

to the requirements of the new Code. Misunderslanding of the
law is costly hoth in time and inoney. Use therefor the Record

Building Laws, which doesn't leave you to puzzle out the mean¬
ing of the Code—to find later that you were wrong.
