New Block Construction to
Change Building Industry

Paul II. Longhurst. this city, to-
day announced a new cement and
cinder block construction method
which, it is believed. will revolu
tionize the building industry.
He estimates that Il will reduce
the cost OF frame construction from
% to so per cent and will reduce TO
a minimum need for priority ma
terials in housing.
The invention has been register
ed and a patent applied for
1t consists Of slante1 slot along
the block into which a similarly
shaped piece OF wood may be in
serted. The wood will extend at
right angles to the surface Of the
block sufficiently TO provide an air

from scrap lumber and treated Nth

Now he Has Most
Expensive Hat in
City of Ypsilanti

II you lose a good hat should
you try to recover It?
That is the question David Harris
is just about ready TO answer in the
negative. He lost hat. He got it
back, but he landed in court and
with a knife wound TO boot.
The story as developed in NUM-
cipal court seems to be that Harris
was out for little stroll with Mrs.
George Smith when Mr.. George
Smith approached with a look in
his eye that signaled danger and
advised retreat. So Mr.. Harris re-
treated. He stepped right out from
under the hat Mr.. Smith picked
it up. When Mr. Harris arrived at
a point where little restrospection
seemed safe and advisable he de-
cided he wanted his hat, but he
also decided he would have com
pany when he returned for II. The
police department seemed to be a
logical place to ask for companions.
Patrolmen promptly responded to
his request for aid.
Smith was sighted and Harris
ventured out of the car and de-
manded his hat At that point fast
action started and before the Of.
ficers could restore peace and quiet
Smith had been bruised by Harris
fists and Harris had felt Smith
quickly drawn knife.
Arraigned in court Smith ar.
ranged to pay SIS fine, but mean
time Harris refused to sign com
plant against Smith and was him
self a-raigned on a charge of dis
orderly conduct. AS a result the
court sentenced him to 80 days in
jail. With the cost OF his ripped
suit Smiths fine and his own com
mitment. he has about the most ex-
pensive hat in Ypsilanti.

Natural Gas
May be Used
in Ypsilanti
Contract Will be
Negotiated

Ypsilanti may obtain natural gas,
depending on outcome OF negotia'
tons now underway, prlorities and
reaction OF the War Production
Board.
City council Monday evening
authorized the Board OF Public
Works TO negotiate a contract with
the Panhandle Eastern Pipelins
Co., subject to approval OF the coun
ell.
Preliminary contract has already
been submitted by the company
and City Attorney John p. Kirk
recommended that a few changes
be made, such as increasing the
peak load agreement from 100000
cubic feet in one day TO 100000
cubic feet for the same period. He
recommended a definite understand
ing on the amount the city will re
ceiye for handling industrial &C
counts, the suggested amount be
ing 20 per cent of the sale price
According to the agreement now
under consideration the basic rate
at which the city would purchase
natural gas for its domestic con
sumers would be three cents per
unit with the provision that when
the demand exceeded TIE summer
months average, four cents be
charged.
The rates, T. Fred Older. city
engineer, informed the council. com

The Panhandle company would
agree to bring the pipeline to Up
silanti but the city world have t.
provide for piping 1t to the present
gas plant or a similar distribution
center and for changing equipment
throughout the city for use of tn
new type gas.
Natural gas is described as twice
as hot per unit as the artificial gas
now in use in Ypsilanti. Since it is
odorless and dry, the gas plant
would, have to inject an odor and
steam before il is used. The odol
is a precautionary measure so that
in case Of leaks, the gas can be
detected.
The proposed contract would be
