Dr. Purdy asked whether the proposed compromise was acceptable to the electrical committee. Mr. Mitchem said they would be willing to accept these three. II II Ii II II , After further discussion about the local codes and the NEC with state amendments, Mr. Teague said that if he were to make a motion it would be to adopt the NEC plus the mandatory state additions, plus the local amendments pertaining primarily to safety. This will be worked out by staff with the local code committee. I I II -II I ,I I II II I I i I I I I Ii ,I I I I Mrs. Hayward said that one of the principle questions at issue was what was involved with safety and what was involved with expansion. Mr. Lassen said that there was a difference of op~n~on between the staff and the codes committee, and pointed out that there was also a difference of opinion in the National Electrical ~eoBtractors Association and the statement from the local National Electrical Contractors Association. The staff has not been able to remncile its differences with the codes committee and the Council will finally have to decide what is necessary for safety or for expansion.
