There would also be inspection fees, possibly ranging up to the hundreds of dollars for a brand new house Cochran said if the fee could save people from having to go through what he is going through and the thousands of dollars it will cost to repair his addition, it is worth it. "No matter what it would cost if it's going to save my wife and I by having this person licensed and bonded and insured, it wouldn't be a hardship," he said. "You take a house and make it into a home but that guy totally destroyed a dream we had back there to help a blind lady. But all he did is just slow us down." from Page 1A I shouldn't have to go through all this and that. I don't mind getting the permits but being registered, I should already be registered." If Marion had a building code, Cochran said, "a person would have to be licensed, bonded and insured.

With those things there would be some sense that the money you pay out would be protected." The city and county recently agreed to adopt a countywide building code.

While the petitions are already out, Walker said he may have to start from scratch and may have a friend who is an attorney help him draft a new one. Walker said that he did not obtain an official petition from the Marion County Board of Elections, which board director Carolyn Weston said is required. In order for the petition to be approved and an issue to be put on ified and they're bringing them in from other places," he said.

"We need somebody that is qualified, that has done the trade. There aren't enough code books so nobody is qualified to do it." Butler, a small contractor for 35 years, said he's through with the business now. He doesn't want to get involved in registering and going through the inspections. Tm just canceling out. I'm not going to do all that stuff.

I think we're trying to run this town like a big metropolis. Marion is too small. We're not Cleveland or Columbus," he said. "I just can't see why I should be (licensed). I'm already in the gosh darn directory.

I'm established and Contractors n't even know what he was doing. "The city, the county, is raking in the bucks," he said. Gattshall added that he wouldn't mind putting more money toward educating children, asking "Why can't it be put into new schools?" Now Gattshall is trying to pull together support from other contractors and residents in the city to protest the new building code. He said he is trying to get a permit to protest at Center and Main streets, but doesn't know how to go about it. Gattshall claims he went to went to City Hall to ask for a permit to hold a protest, but nobody there knew what he was talking about.

Each signature must be witnessed by the person circulating the petition to be valid, and only legal voters can sign it.

The petition must have enough signatures to equal 10 percent of the people that voted in the last gubernatorial election, which Weston said would mean that in order to get a city resolution on the ballot, 809 signatures would be needed. A different number would be needed on a county resolution. Weston also said that it's probably too late to accomplish anything because a petition for a referendum must be filed within 30 days of the resolution. The city passed a resolution adopting the building code in December, 1997, and the county adopted it the next month. City editor Anne Gregory contributed to this story.
