City Hall Cleanup Peter Wollenberg, a specialist in architecture preservation, got a closeup look at the upper reaches of City Hall last month. Continued high temperatures pose a health hazard for very young children and the elderly, notes the Health Div. Family, neighbors and friends of those affected by the heat should check regularly, or call. Fire hydrant vandalism costs the City Water Div. More seriously, children playing in the street in front of spraying hydrants risk a traffic injury or death.
Similar fines apply to anyone illegally opening a hydrant.
Anyone seeing a vandalized fire hydrant call the Water Div. Much safer water play is offered in the Recreation Div. And, during hot weather, there area 32 fountains and A-Frame sprinklers scattered throughout the City. For pool and sprayer locations and hours, call the Recreation Div., 535-0400. Severely hot weather is also straining the electrical generating resources of many Midwest utilities, Mayor Harmon noted in a memo to all City department heads.
