ROTARIANS HOLD
WEEKLY MEETING
AT HOTEL CONCORD
Improved Freight Service
For This Section Dis
cussed —Sidney Jones, of
Salisbury, Makes Talk.
An improved freight service for
this section was discussed at the
weekly meeting of the Concord Ro
tary club yesterday in Hotel Concord
by A. It. Howard, who, with F. C.
Niblock, was in charge of- the pro
gram for the day. Nothing definite
was decided upon by club members
and the matter was referred to. the
public affairs committee, T. H. Webb,
chairman, for a report at a later
meeting.
Ine secretary’s report for the day
consisted of the reading of a letter
fropi the King's Daughters express
ing appreciation for the aid given by
the club in the recent Christmas op
portunity campaign. The message
included an itemized statement *>f the
money spent toward providing a higher
and better Yuletide for the needy col
ored folk of this section. _ .
The date for Vhc annual Ladies
Night sponsored by the club was
changed to February 21st from the
22nd. because of its conflict on the
latter date with prayer services in
the city churches.
Sidney Jones, of the Salisbury Ro
tary-Club, made a brief talk in which
he urged all Rotarians to further
the meaning of the sometimes* abysed
word “service" by adhering more
closely to it in daily social and busi
ness life.
Other guests of the-club were Rate
i Toms, of Salisbury, O. I». (iorinan, of
Reidsville, Henry I large, of Charlotte,
and Eugene Correll.
Dr. W. C. Houston and A. F.
Goodman were announced as the
committee in change of the program
i for next week.

ROOF ORDINANCE
WILL SAVE MONEY
FOR CONCORDIANS
Fire Insurance Rates Re
duced 10 Cents on the
SIOO as Result of Passage
Here in November.
A fire insurance deduction authori
zation that will mean many hundreds
of dollars savings for the people of
Concord has been the result of the
Anti-Wood-Bhingle-Roof Ordinance
that was passed by the members of
the board of aldermen at their No
vember meeting.
Confirmation of the reduced rates
made possible by the passage of the
ordinance has recently been received
from the North Carolina Inspection
and Hating Bureau of Raleigh ; it
authorizes agents to deduct 10 cents
per hundred dollars from the ratings
heretofore authorized on the follow
ing classes:
Apartment houses having shingle
roofs; barns and garages, all classes
having shingle roofs; almshouses, in-
I firmarios and hospitals having shingle
roofs; boarding houses having shingle
roofs; boarding schools, colleges and
universities having shingle roofs:
churches having shingle roofs; and
school houses having shingle roofs,
i While the ordinance'is not retro
active, all premium payments on fire
insurance policies made after Novem
ber 11>27, will receive the benefits
|of t lie new rate. This is important
in that not only the holders of new
I policies will be benefit ted but also
j those people who have paid the old
i rate for many years.
The gist, of the Anti-Wood-Shingle
j Roof ordinance is found in Sections
| 4 and I>J The first 1 named division
| decrees that if a wood-shingle-roof
| is damaged twenty per cent of its
value by fire, the entire roof must be
replaced py coverings which comply
with the hrdipance. Also, if a shingle
! roof must be repaired more than ten
per cent, the whole roof must lie cov
ered in compliance with the ordi
nance.
Section <> provides that within 13
years from the date of the approval
of the ordinance that any and all
roofs covered with wood shingles
j shall be replaced with roof coverings
I which comply with the ordinance.
Covering materials provided by the
j ordinance include : Rrick or concrete
I surface, day or Portland cement tile,
j tin or slate, asbestos shingles at
I least 1-8 of an inch thick, pitch or
! felt or asbestos asphalt, of 4 or .3
! ply.
While it is impossible to approxi
mate the exact saving to the citizens
of the city through the passage of
the ordinance, it is known that the
gross will be considerable.
