Painting a Frame House,


Please publish directions for paint
ing frame house outside, either white
or light yellow. Would you recommend
raw or boiled linseed oil? Which oil
will wear the best? Would you use
any turpentine? Would it make any
difference if it had previously had a
coat of paint? What is the cause of
paint peeling OFF,?
To paint a house first give the knots
a dressing of shellac, then apply the
paint in two coats, allowing the first
coat to dry before applying the Sec
ond, which is composed of about four
gallons of oil and forty pounds of lead
for every one hundred yards of surface
to be painted. Raw and boiled oil
mixed equally are generally used.
Either one will do for outside work,
but the boiled oil will dry much quick
er than the raw oil. There is also less
danger Of the work being damaged by
rain when the raw oil is used. Not
unless it is necessary to thin the
paint. Not unless it is scaling off. If
this is the case remove the scales.
The pulling of of paint is usually due
to the use of an inferior brand at the
outset.

COUNCIL AND BOARD AT ISSUE
Each BIames the other Because Some
People Along BOuIeVards Have
to Wade in Mud.

The Park commission must build perma-
nent sidewalks on streets running along
its parks and driveways or the city will
refuse to honor drafts on the park and
road funds
This ultimatum has been presented by
City Attorney Breen, who says he is weary
Of trying to get the commission to build
walks. The trouble has been brewing all
summer and many property owners have
complained that while they have laid walks
in front Of their homes, the Park commits
sion refuses TO cooperate, leaving them
without necessary walks to get to and
from their domoiles. The latest complaint
Of this kind comes from thlrty-two resi-
dents Of the Second ward, who comment
bitterly on the lack Of permanent walks
on Twentieth and Seventeenth streets,
where the Southeast boulevard abuts upon
them.
Councilman Hoye of the Second ward
denounces the attitude of the Park COM
mission. He says the body is adamant
when IL comes to discussing sidewalks and
that the commissioners clam that the
money placed in their hands is to be spent
on parks. boulevards and driveways only.
He is supporting City Attorney Breen in
the position taken and the outlook is for
a battle royal as the members of the Park
board are set in their ways" They have
long complained that the council does not
give them enough money OF sufficient In
dependence, but on the contrary frequently
hampers the best Intentions OF the commits
sion.
