Enclosed is a copy of the HUD "Minimum Property- a-
Standards for One and Two-Family Dwellings", 4900.1,
Revision No. 5, April 1977. Gus Degenkolb^fle^s that
,^
this Standard will become stronger, to the extent' that^tv ;
it will be used by HUD as their ma3Si~$<sandafrd and -
Si
eventually might even be adopted by-^S-JfiSSel^Btli'ldifigsl^m-;
Codes. The Code Committee feels that both the Bngineelai^p:'<~
& Built-Up Roofing Committee should examine the Standard '
and offer their recommendations so that A.R.M.A. may take a position with HUD. Will you please sehd^copies
Some of the objections to the Roof Covering-dectioh oh

6. 609-3.2 Asphalt Shingles f. (1) Delete need to tab low slope application unless non-seal type shingles are used.
7. 609-3.3 Wood Shingles. Determine why they should not be Class C or greater.
8. 609-3.4 Wood Shakes. Determine why ..hey should not be Class C or greater-,
If the Code Committee may have" the BUR and Engineering Committees' comments by our Spring meeting, we will make a' recommendation on the Standard that A.R.M.A. can send to HUD.
