Health Commissioner Launches
Drive On Basement Living Quarters

New York (GlobaD Thousands
of ,HarlemiteS will be coming up
for air" in the near future as the
campaign now under way to end
the illegal use of cellar areas for
living quarters takes full effect.
The Health Commissioner charges
that some landlords collect as much
as 5000 a month from rentals of
"cubicle apartments" in filthy
dark, unhealthy cellars. Many of
these apartments are infested
with rates and other vermin.
The extent of the problem, said
Commissioner John F. Mahoney,
was indicated by recent survey
of three sections of Manhattan,
where from 2 to SO per cent of eel
lars were being used as living quar-
ters. The high point was in Har-
lem, where $40 buildings were in
spected and 1926 had cellars that
were inhabited.
Use of cellars for tenant quar-
ters is violation of the Sanitary
Code, but the practice is increasing.
The Health Department, with its
force of $50 inspectors, will crack
down on violators with a fine of
up to $500, Imprisonment for a
year, or both. Warning letters were
sent to the 10000 landlords of the

many as five apartments" in the
cellar. For all five there is usually
a single toilet and water source.
The situation was brought to the
Departments attention during the
recent check on gas appliances,
when inspectors kept stumbling on
occupied cellars. Landlords are
forbidden to rent noW-unoccupied
cellars to new tenants. Assistance
will be given to tenants in cellars
and the Department will see that
the premises are not rented again.
The Department differentiates
between cellars and basement"
quarters which may be tenanted.
A rule of thumb to differentiate is
that a cellar dwelling is one in
which more than half the height
of the area is underground.
The campaign, now we'll under
way in Manhattan, will soon be
extended to the other boroughs.

National Sports
Editors Poll
BY Cy Rice

The long arm of the Bureau Of
International Revenue has reached
out again and this time .collared
a man of baseball eminence He
is Frs. M. Saigh, president of the
st. Louis Cardinals. The charge is
income tax evasion.
Files of the Bureau of Internal
Revenue disclose that 81 per cent
Of those who are indicted for tax
fraud wind up convicted.
This fact prompted the National
Sports Editors Poll to ask the
sports editors of daily newspapers:
"Will it hurt baseball to any
great extent if Fred Saigh is con-
victed?"
Saigh's predicament was taken
lightly by Ford Frick, Commits
sioner of Baseball. Commented the
Car of the Diamond: "Saigh's
problem is a personal matter -
just between Saigh and the Bu-
reau of Internal Revenue.
But is it?
"No!" roars Vincent x. Flaherty,
outspoken columnist for Hearst
newspapers. "The very truth that
Saigh has been indicted takes
face as a scandal of greater in
tensity than the Chicago Black SoX
who threw the 1919 World Series
to Cincinnati" contends Flaherty.
In his opinion if the late Judge
Lands or A. B. Chandler were
the top men of baseball today,
Saigh would be suspended as pres
ident of the Cardinals until such
time as the Federal Court finds
him not guilty.
Of course there is chance that
should Saigh be convicted it won't
even slightly dent the protective
armor of our national game. Moral
values and ethics have changed
since the Black Sox crookedneSs.
Bear in mind that the college bas-
ketball scandal exploded with such
violence that dirt flew in many
directions smearing some of the
most respected names.
Yet the attendance figures weret
up nearly three per cent last sea-
son!
Sports followers in this country
have always been rabid supporters
Of the underdog. Any David and
Goliath encounter. appeals if the
former stands a chance. Perhaps
baseball fans will forget the true
issues involved in the Saigh VS..
U. S..Government fracas and smile
indulgently ON the fight of one
man against a nation.
Anyway, here's the reaction the
sports editors believe will occur It

Farmers Bank To
Remodel Building

Work on remodeling of the Do
yer building of the Farmers Bank
OF the State of Delaware will com
mence within the next week or
two, it was announced this week by
William K. Patton. president of the
bank. 1t will entail practically the
rebuilding of the present structure,
increasing the size so that it will
cover the entire property area.
The roof Of the present building
Will be removed, and the building
enlarged to make it two stories
above ground. This will more than
double the floor areas for banking
facilities.
Plans call for an entirely new
safe deposit department, including
vault in the basement, thus leav-
ing the entire floor for general
banking purposes. There will be an
adequate number of individual Gus
toners booths, and a conference
room for groups.
The first floor will be one large
open space, with twice as many
cages as at present across the
south side. An addition on the west
end of the building will provide an
adequate officers platform a con-
ference room for customers.
On the second floor the plans
call for a new directors meeting
room and a presidents office, both
10 be furnished in colonial style
Space on the second floor also will
provide for an enlarged trust de-
partment, the investment depart
ment, and all of the bookkeeping
and general work of the bank. An
attractive employees lounge, with
a small service pantry, is also in
clUded.

Farmers Warned
On Road Flowing

As preparations are made for the
spring plOWing work in Sussex
County, officials of the State High
way Department are once again re-
questing farmers not to ploW
cross the dirt shoulders along high
ways
A. w. Joseph, Sussex County Di-
vision Engineer for the Department
points out that when farmers plow
across these dirt shoulders it is
necessary for the Department main
tenance crews to- provide new
drainage for these shoulders and
work over the dirt shoulders to
eliminate the effects of the plow-
ing.
L was also pointed out that
when a farmer plOws from the
edge of his field across the dirt
shoulders he frequently removes
the growth along the edge of the
field and when a new drainage
ditch is provided by the mainten-
ance crews the absence of this
growth will permit the soil from
sitV nCANo " uA OtA AllIo tAC UIdlu-
age ditch.
Department Engineers estimate
that most of the plowin6 on these
shoulders results from the farm
ers driving the plow straight
through to the highway for the
purpose of turning around which
could be done at the edge of the
field.
While plowing across these dirt
shoulders it is violation OF exist
ing laws it is not the desire of the
Department officials to institute
proceedings against the farmers
unless such action will be their
only recourse towards halting this
activity.
Milford chronicle., 1952-03-21

The building will be air-condi-
toned. Elevator service is to be
provided to the safe deposit depart
ment in the basement, and to the
trust department and other serv-
ices on the second floor. The bank
ing space will be entered from the
street by doors at either end Of the
building.
The structure will be faced with
lockwood limestone and granite.
The seal of the bank will appear
over each entrance. Over the four
windows will be medallions SYM
bOlical Of Delaware industry, agri-
culture, chemistry, and poultry.
Across the top of the building, the
name of the bank will be inscribed,
together with the date of its estab-
lishment in 1907.

pany, of New York, Chicago and

tractor. Massena and dupont, OF

Mr.. Friedman.
About the time of reaching a de-

this focused the attention of the
executive on Delaware's advan-

proximity of northern and western

Milford was selected, after look

Trees Need Fertilizer,
Spring Time To Do II

Trees can grow better with fer
ilizer, just like other plants. Keep
ing tree vigorous and healthy
will help combat diseases as we'll
as giving you a more beautiful
tree, says Robert F. Stevens, hor-
ticulturist with the Delaware Agri-
cultural Extension Service.
The best time to apply fertilizer
to most trees is in March, as soon
as the frost is out of the ground. II
you fertilize your lawn, less fertil-
iZer will be needed for the trees.
Fertilizer for trees should be
planted" deep says Stevens, to
keep the lawn grass from using it.
Insert it in holes about IL to Is
inches deep. Start about 6 to 8 feet
from the trunk, for large trees, and
make holes with a crow bar about
every two feet, out to beyond the
branches. Circles of holes about
two feet apart completely around
the tree are necessary.
A general rule for amount is tC
use pounds of a complete fertil-
izer for each inch in diameter OF
the tree trunk, measured at breast
height. A complete fertilizer such
as 5-1O-5 or 5-10-1O is satisfactory
Evergreens usually need less
fertilizer than other trees. Toe
much nitrogen burns evergreen
foliage. If you maintain a mulch
around your evergreens about one
cupfull of 5-10-5 for each 40 square
feet is effective.
