The City of Muskogee is twenty-five years old, having been originally incorporated as a town on March 19, 1898, and later by order of the Judge of the District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, made a city of the second-class, and finally on Decem- ber 23, 1907, by proclamation of the Governor, made a city of the first-class. The last three years the city has been operated under the managerial form of government, the Charter providing for the election of a mayor and sixteen councilmen, four from each ward. The councilmen are nominated by wards on a non-political ticket and the councilmen and mayor are elected at large. They appoint a city manager who has charge of all the departments ‘of the city. The mayor and councilmen pass all ordinances and the mayor signs all contracts. It is purely representative in form; the power is derived directly from the people, and is centered in one place where it can be effective, or responsibility lodged if it is a failure. The manager is appointed without term. He makes up the budget, directs the expenditures, and employs and discharges all city forces except the park, board, library and similar boards, city clerk, and city treasurer. It is more nearly patterned after the public school system, or a private corporation than any other form of government—the stock holders or voters to select the board of directors; the board of directors, or councilmen, to appoint the manager, and the manager to conduct the affairs of the corporat- ion. In the work of arranging the several subjects or chapters un- der which the ordinances are grouped, we were assisted materially by the work previously done in an effort to compile and publish a code of the ordinances, which work was only partially completed. The ordinances themselves, however, had been amended or entirely repealed in so many instances, that it was necessary before a com- plete and authentic code could be compiled, that we start with or- dinance No. 1 and eliminate everything that had been repealed and the portions of ordinances amended, up to the present time.

FIREPROOF: CONSTRUCTION DEFINED. “The term “Fireproof.Construction” shall apply to buildings in which all parts that carry weights or resist stresses are constructed wholly of stone, burned clay, iron, steel or concrete and in which all.stairs and all elevator enclosures, and their contents, are made entirely of incombustible material, and in which all metallic structural memz- bers are insulated against the effects of fire. Suh LR EPROOMENG: MATERIALS USED FOR. Thesmiae terials which shall be considered ‘as fulfilling the condition of fire- proof covering are: brick, hollow tile, burned clay and concrete. No structural metal shall have a covering extending less thant three inches from the metal; one inch on the interior of such; fireproofing may be air space. By the term “Structural Metal” is meant such metal as is used in preserving the stability or integrity of the structure itself, or any integral structural part thereof, and does not apply to any orna- mental metal work, screens, stairs, or other metal which may be removed without affecting the structural stability of the work or any part thereof. In buildings of this type, all door or window mullions, whether vertical or horizontal, shall be faced with cast iron, terra cotta, or other incombustible material of equal fire-resisting value, except- ing as otherwise specified. All iron or steel used as supporting members of the external construction of any building shall be protected against the effects of external changes of temperature BUILDING CODE 77 and of fire, by a covering completely enveloping the same. If of brick or concrete, it shall not be less than three inches thick, and there shall be an air space between the iron and steel members and the tile. When skeleton construction is used for the whole or part of a building, the enveloping materials, shall be independently sup- ported on the skeleton frame for each individual story. If iron or steel supporting plates are used in each story, they must be of sufficient strength to carry, within the limits of fiber- stress, the enveloping material for the story, and such plates may extend to within two inches of the exterior of the covering. If terra cotta is used as a part of such fireproof covering it shall be backed up with brick or hollow tile of such dimensions and laid up in such a manner as to secure a perfect bond with the terra cotta facing. Provided, however, that terra cotta of suffi- cient thickness ‘may be used without backing. If hollow tile alone is used for such covering, it shall be at least two courses thick, breaking joints and bonded. If cement concrete is used in any form for such covering, it shall be in a manner approved by the best recognized engineer- ing authorities. The upper surface of all breaks or offsets in external cover- ings, as well as the tops of walls, shall be capped with fireproof material. 4. INTERNAL FIREPROOFING. The internal structural parts of all fireproof buildings of skeleton construction shall be fireproofed by coverings of brick, hollow tile, porous terra cotta or cement concrete in a manner approved by the best recognized engineering authorities and as above specified. In places where there is trucking or other handling of packages, the lower five feet of the fireproofing of columns, other than concrete, shall be incased in sheet iron or oak plank, which shall be kept continually in good repair. In all cases, the covering of beams, and girders, if of hollow tile or porous terra cotta, shall be so applied as to be supported entirely by the beams or girders and by the mortar used in setting. Wire binding and anchors shall not be used as fasteners of such fireproof covering. The filling between the individual iron and steel beams supporting the floors of the fireproof buildings shall be made of brick or hollow tile arches, or other forms and materials of fireproof construction may be used if approved by the best rec- ognized engineering authorities. The Building Inspector may re- quire a practical test to be made by the owner or contractor of the proposed ‘construction to determine its safe carrying capacity and its fire-resisting qualities. If brick arches are used, they shall not be less than four inches thick and shall have a rise of at least one and one-quarter inches to each foot of the span between the beams. If the span of such arches is more than five feet, the thickness of 78 ' BUILDING CODE the same shall be increased as required by the Building Inspector. Such brick arches shall be laid with close joints in cement mortar in proportions of not more than two parts of sand to one part of cement by measure. If hollow tile arches having a straight soffit are used, the thickness of such arches shall not be less than one and one-half inches for each foot of span. In all cases the protection of the bottom flanges of the beams and so much of the webs as are not covered by the arches shall be made as before specified for the covering of beams and girders. Plastering on wire or metal lath shall not be considered as fireproofing for structural members. SECTION 46—REINFORCED CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION. 1. FOR WHAT BUILDINGS. Reinforced concrete may be used for all classes of buildings if the design is in accordance with good engineering practice and the the stresses are figured by rules and formulas equal in all respects to those set forth in the latest edition of “Concrete, Plain and Reinforced,” by Taylor & Thomp- son. 2. COMPUTATIONS. The Building Inspector shall have ac- cess to all computations, which shall give all assumed loads, sep- arately such as dead and live loads, wind and impact (if any), and the resulting stresses. 3. SPECIFICATIONS. The specifications shall state the qualities of the materials to be used in making the concrete, and the proportions in which they are to be mixed. 4. RECORDS OF WORK. Exact records of the progress of each operation of construction shall be kept where they can be examined by the Building Inspector. These records shall show the dates of the placing of all concrete, and the dates of the re- moval of forms. 5. TESTS OF CEMENT. Tests of cement used in building operations shall be made from time to time under the supervision of the Building Inspector and all cement which does not meet the requirements of the Standard Specifications of the American So- ciety for Testing Materials shall be rejected. 6. AGGREGATE. Extreme care shall be exercised in select- ing the aggregate for all concrete and careful tests shall be made of the materials, where any doubt exists, for the purpose of deter- mining their qualities and the proportions necessary to secure maximum density. 7. CINDER CONCRETE. Cinder concrete shall not be used for reinforced concrete structures, except for fireproofing. Where cinders are used as the coarse part of the aggregate, they shall be BUILDING CODE 79 hard, clean, vitreous cinders, free from sulphides, unburned coal and ashes. 8 REMOVAL OF FORMS. Forms shall not be removed until the concrete has hardened sufficiently to permit their re- moval with entire safety. 9. FIREPROOFING. The main reinforcement in columns shall be protected by a minimum of two inches of concrete; re-in- forcement in girders and beams by one and one-half inches, and floor slabs by one inch. SECTION 47—IRON AND STEEL CONSTRUCTION. 1. IRON AND STEEL CONSTRUCTION. All iron or steel columns shall be made true and smooth on both ends at right angles to the axis of the columns and shall rest on shoes or plates of iron or steel and shall have iron or steel caps which shall be made true, and such plates and caps shall be of size and strength sufficient to properly distribute the weights that may be imposed upon them; Provided, however, that in all buildings four stories and over in height such columns shall rest upon properly designed bridge plates bolted to the columns. All iron or steel trimmer- beams, headers and tail-beams shall be suitably framed and connected together, and all iron or steel girders, columns, beams, trusses or other iron or steel work shall be strapped, bolted, riveted, anchored and connected together in a strong and workmanlike manner approved by the Building Inspector.
