joints. Minimum size of service raceway shall be one inch."

hazards of fire and the erection of such buildings and other structures
will result in an unhealthy, unsafe and otherwise undesirable building
program and will seriously injure and injuriously affect the program
planned for the development of the city of Arcadia on a safe, sound and
modern basis.

ordinance and shall cause the same to be published once in the Arcadia.
