to assure such safety, the State of Oregon, working together and in
conjunction with its counties and cities, enforces a uniform statewide
building code which has been designed and is maintained with the
assistance of the building industry and the consumers; and
it is through the untiring efforts of state and local building officials and
their cooperative relationship with the construction industry that the
administration of these health and life-safety regulations is assured.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Catherine Shaw, Mayor of Ashland, do hereby designate the
week of April 5- 11, 1998, as:
"BUHJHNG SAFETY WEEK"
and urge all citizens to use this week to visit their local building department and to
better familiarize themselves with the important safety information and services
provided by these public servants.
Dated this 17th day of March, 1998.
