COUNCIL HITS
AT "SQUATTERS"
Sanitary Regulations Now
Effective In City Under
Emergency

In an effort to protect lot own
ers throughout the city, members
of the village council Tuesday
night approved an ordinance, pre-
pared by City Solicitor George
Slaughter, which prohibits the
erection, construction and inhabi-
tation of undesirable, unsightly
and unsanitary buildings, homes
and structures within the village
limits.
The ordinance, approved as an
emergency measure and effective
as of Tuesday, was the direct re-
suit of action by some new resi-
dents who placed a prefabricated
building on lot at Linden and
East Third Streets and attempted
to occupy the house before neces-
sary sanitary equipment had been
installed.
At the council meeting two
weeks ago, neighbors complained
that the new residents had attemp-
ted to move into the house before
toilets were installed anG before
one door was hung. The City
Building Inspector, Walter Miller,
posted notice forbidding the
owners to occupy the house until
sanitary conditions were okeyed.
In the new ordinance, moving of
any building to lot within the
city limits (for the purpose of
human habitation), is deemed the
same as construction, and is pro-
hibited.
Building permits are to be is
sued by the village clerk, only
after plans and specifications for
the proposed construction are on
file in his office and have been ap-
proved by the Building Commit
tee of the village council.
The plans shall be permanently
kept by the village clerk, and fail
ure of the permittee to construct
the building in compliance with
the plans shall be basis for in
validation of the permit.
No such structure is to be used
for human habitation until at
least. one inside toilet has been
provided and connection for the
structure made with the sanitary
sewer system of the village.
Privies Are Out.
Section Seven of the ordinance
forbids the erection or mainten-
ance within the corporate limits
of the village of any outside toll
cts or privies.
Also forbidden are structures
which have less than two doors
for ingress and egress; structures
which do not provide connections
for the furnishing of running
water, and structures used for hu-
man habitation which are not plac-
ed upon permanent foundations.
Persons or firms which fail to
secure the required building per-
NIT or violate any other provision
of this ordinance shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor and upon
conviction thereof shall be fined
not less than $500 nor more than
$500 for each such offense,
Each day of such illegal con-
struction, erection or illegel hum
an habitation shall be deemed a
separate and complete offense.

entitled 1.-THE Worth of Beauty" by
James c. Derieux, which she sug-
gested as printed in Readers
Digest during year of 1916. Hope
to help her, should she not have

article does not appear within.
Also have those, excepting some
few, dating back to 40. Also, many
copies of Life, Better Homes and

any reader desire any certain
number.
A suggestion: It certainly would
be helpful If RICH readers would
make definite specification on the
size of cups, spoons. ETC.. which
each uses in her recipes. There is
all the difference in the world, as
any experienced cook knows. in
spoon and cup sizes.

pensable ON Jul farm. Occasionally
a waste valve or hydrant VIII plug
on our water system due to rust OF
dirt, and the water VIII freeze to
a depth of about three feet, depend
ing on the frost line. I insert a small
pipe in the large one, and a gallon
or two Of boiling water poured into
the small pipe will thaw the ice
and force the cold water out. This
will work where a blow torch or any
other method will fail to reach the
frozen part"
Note by [. w. D-Too bad all
farmers do not know this simple
but effective method. The whole
secret is that the weight of the long
er column of hot water forces out
the cold water and so keeps reach
ing the frozen ice. A rubber tube is
often better, as it can be worked
past an elbow or trap.

COLD WEATHER STARTING

Had any trouble starting your car
or truck these bitter cold mornings
lately? I have and notice many of
my neighbors having the same trou-
BILE. We usually suspect the battery
first, but if it will turn the cold en-
CINE over, it is not likely at fault.
If it doesn't start the second or
third attempt, don't keep trying, as
it only runs down the battery use-
lessly.
Next we should suspect that the
engine isn't getting fuel either be-
cause of frozen water in the fuel
line or fuel filter, or simply because
the fuel does not vaporize when it
is SO cold. A quick way to check
whether the fuel is at fault is to keep
a screw-capped can or bottle Of
naphtha or b1ow-torch gasoline
handy, remove the oil filter cover
and pour a tablespoonful down into
the carburetor, Oh a little into one
or TWO spark plug openings.
Then if you do not get some ex-
plosions, you may be pretty sure
that the trouble is with the spark.
I had this same trouble and found
after having the car towed in that
the breaker points both were so
blackened that no spark could get
through. A new set of points cured
all my troubles completely.
I have also been trying out an
electric heater tapped into the cool
ing liquid in my car cylinder head,
81 that I can connect up to my ga
rage lights about half an hour be-
fore 1 am ready to start. This heats
up the cooling liquid and makes the
a much easier to start. If one had
an electric hair dryer he could blow
over the carburetor side of the en-
CINE for a few minutes. it would
also help greatly.
