Clerk Stunned By Application

Miracles do happen! City Clerk Myrna Perkins has re- ceived a building application with all 19 questions an- sWered.
 For he, benefit of those who are not builders, contractors, council members or those who have never filled out an ap- plication for a building per- init in the City of Kodiak, the city's building permit forms are long, lengthy "docu- ments".
 Many builders do not find 1t necessary to answer all the questions to obtain. a permit
Kodiak mirror., 1950-12-09

and others sometimes find it too much 2 bother. z Ednsequ- ently when the city clerk re- ceived an application with EVERY question answered she was dumbfounded.
 The permit, dated Nov. 15, 1850 and signed by A. Name less Person, asked the city council to approve a permit for a new building for a local Oil Company.
 Question No. 7 on the build- ing permit is as follows: "Size of Building: Greatest Length and Width::" The space for the answer said, four feet by four feet.
 } Question No. IS asks for the estimated cost. The answer was, "Oh! About a dollar or so." -. ~,
 The following Qestions and Answers were on the permit: Q. Type of foundation. A. Don'tsknow, looks like bridge timber. 0. Depth foundation below ground. A. Just right. 0. Size of wall studs. A. Every size. 0. Depth.of base 'ment below ground line. A. Can't tell till spring thaws set ifl.i
 Space prevents us from list ing all the questions and answers: but a copy of the ap- plication is on file at the city clerks office.
 In describing the dwelling the applicant said, Looks like a Chic Sale but will fight invaders. Regarding the precautions for fire the application said, "Tin cans, flattened, have been placed between the walls and a la- wish supply of old moss".
 The local company specified that the building would be used for an office and that if the city would grant the per- init the company ! would not hold the city responsible for "Un-invited entry, by mis- informed persons, who might look upon the building. /. as an open invitation and not understand that the building

arousing their interest for the con-
tinuation of the Maryland work
into Delaware.
Maryland had started work late
in 1899 and reached the Delaware
state line in 1916. Leaders from
both Maryland and Delaware were
present at a celebration to mark
the step. The resulting work in
Delaware is due, at least in part,
to this celebration. The states
leaders were impressed with the
size Of the project and the result
ing benefits to farmers.
The 1547 General Assembly, pass
ed bill appropriating $4,000 from
the state, an amount to be match
ed by the Sussex Levy Court for
the years 1948 and 1919. This state
and county money also had to be
matched by farmer contribution.
Response Slow
The response for a time has been
slow, in part because of poor farm
drainage but also because of GUS
tom and habit. Farmers, for in
stance, have been hesitant in pay
ing relatively higher prices for hy-
brid corn when they know it might
be necessary to plant several times
and risk crop failure.
The whole idea is an ideal ex-
ample of cooperation among many
groups who realized the need that
existed and the way to meet it.
Local farmers are matching state
and county funds, members of the
Soil Conservation Service of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture are
assisting the cOnservatiOns dis

ment has assisted in changing cul-

Safety Council Notes

Darkness--Death!
ALI too often, the Delaware SAT-
ETY. Council said today in connec-
ton with the October program Of
traffic safety education, the two
go hand in hand.
In the back of the mind of practi-
cally every motorist lies the know
ledge that night time is the time to
drive carefully, Unfortunately, this
small voice of common sense is
neither sufficiently loud nor persi-
stent to save thousands of thought
less and careless motorists each
year.
The Delaware Safety Council cit
ed the 1880 traffic fatalities that
occurred after sun down in 1949 as
proof Of darkness deadliness.
Although this figure represents
an increase over the number of per-
sons killed in daylight accidents
during the year, the really signifi-
cant factor lies in the fact that the
United States Bureau Of Public
Roads estimates from their studies
that only about 81 per cent of the
country's driving is done during the
hours Of darkness. This would indi-
cate that the night time death rate
is about three times the day rate.
The Council listed the following
hazards as factors in the high toll
Of night traffic accidents:
/. Reduced visibility.
2. The difference between what
is a safe speed at night and what
is a safe speed for ordinary, day.
light, driving.
g. Fatigue.
f. Drinking drivers.
5. Failure Of pedestrians to COM
prehend that approaching motor
lists cannot see them as rapidly nor
] as clearly as the walker can see the
car.

Teacher Absence Clause
To Go To Assembly

The State Board of Education
has approved a legislative propos-
al of the Unified School Legisla-
ton Committee to unity the pro-
vision for teacher absence due to
sickness or death in the family,
according to a statement made to-
day by DR.. George r. Miller, Jr.,
State superintendent.
At the present time there is no
uniform plan for teacher absence,
DR.. Miller stated. The State Board
Unit follows a policy of 10 days
sick leave cumulative to 20 days.
Each Special District has a sepa-
rate plan.
The approved recommendation
was in two parts, DR.. Miller add
ed. The first would delete the
words because of sickness or
quarantine" from the current law
$3.50, Sec. s (m) relating to the
powers of the State Board of Edu-
cation
The second portion of this rec
Ommendation relates to a policy
adopted by the State Board Of Edu-
cation. The policy allows 10 days
sick leave per year cumulative to
40 days, DR.. Miller stated.
1t will be necessary to secure
adequate funds in the budgetary
appropriations before this policy
can be put into effect, DR.. Miller
emphasized. Without funds to Sc
cure substitute teachers it will be
impossible to administer this pol
icy, DR.. Miller added.
The policy adopted by the State
Board of Education which will be
put into effect when sufficient
funds are appropriated include
these provisions:
% This policy shall be admins
tered by the local districts
from funds allocated to the
State Board of Education for
the State Board Unit districts,
from funds allocated to the
Special Districts, and from the
funds allocated to the Viii
mington district.
~ This policy shall provide al
lowed sick leave or absence
due to quarantine without de-
duction in pay for 10 working
days each school year.
1927 This policy shall include the
provisio nthat such unused
leave be cumulative to AZ
working days.
