to the adoption of the 1968 Edition of the National Electrical Code.

which he felt would be an imposition on homeowners and homebuilders who either re-
construct or add additions to existing structures. His main concern was with the
provisions of Article 210-1(b) which requires raceways of sufficient capacity to per-
mit utilization of spare circuit protective devices.
The Building Superintendent reviewed the reasons for requiring added circuits, indi-
cating that it was felt that this would eliminate the requirement for homeowne~sto
provide these extra circuits when they make additions to their homes.

circuits should be imposed and suggested that possibly this should be a decision
made by the building inspector°
