In this shelves are put at convenient
distances apart and the four sides are
covered with burlap. I used barley
sacks for this purpose.
The cooler made was three feet
square: Ordinarily a water-tight box
eight or ten inches deep the size Of
the top is made and set on the top Of
the frame. Around the box near the
bottom q row of gimlet holes is bored
and these are fitted with plugs.
The box is filed with water and the
plugs in the holes are loosened until
the water seeps out just enough to
run down through the burlap on the
sides and keep 1t wet all the time.
The burlap onrthe front side is fast
ened to only one post, the top and the
other side being kept in place by
rings along the edge which are slipped
over nails partly driven In.
This constitutes the door through
which access is gained to the inside

this was considered rather elaborate
for most people.

Council, the city building ordinance,
Contractor ]. w. Bowen of Bowen &
Thomas, and the new car barn of the
City & Suburban, now being erected
on Grant street opposite Machen park.
we're tangled up yesterday for several
hours in a veritable pigs in the
clover" puzzle The solution of the
problem came at a special session of
council held late in the afternoon. The
special session, while brief. was at
one time almost as breezy as had the
Florida hurricane dropped in on
Brunswick for a short stay Interpre-
tations of the city building ordinance
formed the basis for the municipal
tangle.
Early yesterday, Marshal Owens
paid visit to the new car barn serv-
ing on Contractor Bowen an order to
stop the work on the ground that the
building did not conform to the pro-
visions of the city building ordinance
which specifies fre-procf material for
all buildings in the fire limits. The
work, which had been under way for
the past several days, was stopped.
Whereupon Mr. Bowen got busy see
ing the half dozen fire insurance agen-
cies of the city Mayor Hopkins was
asked to call a special session of the
council. It was held at 4.30 o'clock
The afternoon session was anything
but dull affair. City Treasurer Fain
acted as clerk and when the cali had
been read proceeded to read a report
or letter from all the insurance agents.
which stated that the building as it
was being constructed is practically
fireproof, coming under the specifia-
lions of the Southeastern Tariff as
sociations.
Alderman Cox, in explaining the
action of the building permits ccm-
mittee referred to Contractor Bowen
as a mot infreduent vioIator of the
city ordinances" Alderman Ludwig
quickly resented the reference and re-
minded Alderman Cox that Mr.. Bowen
would be a colleague in council next
year Alderman Cox returned to his
comments even mere vigorously, stat
ing that in two or more instances
the offending contractor had violated
ordinance. He called attention
to the fact that no building permit
had been taken out for 'he new barn
before the work had started as re-
quired by the city ordinance.
interpretations of the building or-
dinance were varied and many the
windup coming with the granting of
the permit as asked for by Bowen &
Thomas at the opening Of the special
session. Work will now be vigorous
ly pushed on the new building. which
will be of frame studding covered
