 UphOlds Code
 The trouble is," MT. Hartley said, "our code is so good and up-to-date and it is too good for the poor standards of the average pre-fabri- cated construction.
 MT. Ricutu had also assailed a selfish few who are determined to block 6 speedy solution to the prob lem" of finding available housing for Waterbury veterans.
 Asserting that by the building inspectors own figures on permits issued in January and February. non-residential permits totaled $l60, 900, Ricciuti said the non-res- idential permits were approximately double the amount of residential permits.
 MT. Hartley said yesterday that permits would be issued for any pre-fabricated house if its speci- ficationS meet the standards of the Waterbury building code.
 T would be guilty of lack of con- sideration for the veteran if per- mitted him to purchase and erect a house which is not up to standard and thereby presenting hazard to himself and his family" the build ing inspector said today. Poor Job
 Stating that he inspected a pre- fabricated garage in Waterbury to- day, MT. Hartley said it's construc- tion called for by rafters, 2 foot on center and 22 foot span, which, he contends, was insufficient to carry the load of the roof to be placed upon it. t,
 Eventually the onStruction n might tumble down. It was a two car garage; I wouldn't want to keer my car investments, worth couple of thousand and more, inside 8 set up like that.
 Picture that and then picture a house with similar faulty conStruc- .tion with couple of infants instead of cars in 1t" the city building in. Spector said.
 T don't doubt MT. Ricciuti is sin. cere in trying to help the veteran, MT. Hartley said, ''but so am 1-just as sincere. am afraid he knows lit. tie of construction and probably be. lieveS a rabat is something out oi an easter egg"
 Mr. Ricciuti yesterday pointed out the fact a local veteran has acquir ed dwelling by means of taking over an old bus.
 T hope MT. Hartley will not ex' pect the veteran to move from tn, bus because ne is violating thu building code" the CI.O. leadel said.
 "A bus is a lot better than most O the pre-fabricated houses I havt seen," MT. Hartley said in reply to- day.
 Ricciuti said that the countr. should call forth the same resource | fulness to meet the housing elmerg ency which was used in the war.

duck blinds really have taken a

blinds have been wiped out alto
gether and others badly damaged

We could view IL sites on the Pa

these sites had been destroyed or
