<br />of Health was read requesting inunediate 'action, by,. City officials for the,remova1 of
<br />p1~stic material pipe used i~,a building under construction by Breeden Bros. at 395
<br />Ventura Avenue.. The plastic pipe wasperm~tted~n~e~ the P1~~bing Code recently,

<br />permits plastic material pipe as used ,in',this' const.r.uction., ,
