$100,000 BANK HOLDUP By ROGER C. WHITMAN HAVANA, Cuba (AP) -- Two S557 | bacoa Wednesday and got away | PATTERN COST OF MELTING SNOW QUESTION: Our son has mar- ried and set up his own house- hold. Since he used to do the snow shoveling, we are interested | in installing some kind of snow melting system if it isn't too ex- pensive. Can you give us any in- formation? ANSWER: Costs vary depend- ing on size of installation, labor costs, etc. For relatively small systems, (under sidewalk less than 150 feet), installation might be between $2-$3 per square foot, operation of system, if hooked up to house-heating boiler, var- fes from seven cents to 15 cents per 1,000 square feet, to melt up to one inch of snow per hour. Re- commend getting estimates from reliable heating contractor. Using thermostatically controlled elec- tric heating cable is apt to be more expensive. DAMP PANTRY WALL QUESTION: Last autumn we moved into a large old house. Al- though equipped with steam heat, there is no heat source in the pantry. We have been keeping this closed during cold weather and the outside wall developed moisture. What can we do? ANSWER: Evidently there is enough seepage of warm, humid air from the heated part of the house to cause condensation to form on the cold wall. To cor- rect this condition, TI recommend heating the room. Use an efficient electric heater, with the pantry door open and it should help cor- rect the condensation. DRY WELL CONSTRUCTION QUESTION: How can I go about constructing a dry well? 1} want it to catch the water from the gutters on the house. ANSWER: The water-absorb- ing qualities of the soil in your ty will govern the size of the dry well. Suggest you inquire among neighbors about the size of their dry wells.
