PRIORITIEs

Concerning the problem OF build
ing a house in this county / would
like TO comment briefly.
The FILA. offices in Detroit
say that no priorities are TO be
had at the present time in this
area and that its building mater
ial quota has already been filled.
or course when the poundage
quota is used up there Is no more
available. Essential materials
must be conserved and yet more
defense houses are badly needed.
In my opinion a great saving in
iron and lead could be obtained, or
a much larger number OF houses
per quota OF such materials could
be built IL the local Washtenaw
County Health Department would
revise its plumbing requirements
so that:
]. Water wells could be placed
directly under a house instead OF
way out in the front yard some
where requiring long lateral
pipe line.
2. That under ground soil pipe
leading from the house to the sep.
tic tank could be built OF cera-
mic tile tnon-essentiaH securely
connected, instead OF cast iron
soil pipe with lead joints Critical
materially.
State OF Michigan plumbing re-
quirements would still be in ef-
feet
This would In no way relax
necessary sanitation standards but
would tend to ease this bottleneck
in housing. Why should essential
material be required when non-es-
sential material would serve just
as well? A change in require
ments is needed now so that
when priorities are again avail.
