Talk:Height of Buildings Act of 1910

Heights of Buildings Act of Height of Buildings Act?
I'm seeing federal government sources using both titles, and this page's primary-source link is broken. Is it the Heights of Building Act or Height of Buildings Act? IFCAR (talk) 05:03, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

160 or 180?
The "Background" first paragraph seems to imply that the tallest a building can be anywhere in the city is 160 feet. Yet in the "Section 5" subsection, a particular area of the city reads:
 * "...height not to exceed 180 feet (55 m)..."

So which is it? --Criticalthinker (talk) 08:43, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Article is a mess. The primary source seems not to have been in operation for years.  I have found some additional sources and will be paring down and rearranging this article for the better, namely that the main article will feature the basics and not multi-paragraph excerpts, and that it will be made clear the handful or so times the act has been amended since 1910 to make exceptions for certain structures. --Criticalthinker (talk) 05:19, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
