r PG. 4 - PLAINDEALER - WED. APRIL 16, 1969 The Law Serves You State Bar Group Warns Homeowners Against Home Repair Gyp Artists There are steps homeowners should take to nip questionable home improvement deals in the bud this spring, according to the Illinois State Bar association. ^ While the great majority of home improvement and repair contractors are completely trustworthy, the bar association said it issues a warning each year at this time against unscrupulous operators "who appear in the spring and disappear with the dollar." Gyp peddlers, the bar group said, do shoddy work, use cheap materials and often leave the work undone and cannot be located. Disappointment and law suits ordinarily will be avoided, the association added, if homeowners will take the following precautions to be sure they are dealing with reputable contractors: 1) Ask relatives or friends to recommend contractors with whom they have had satisfactory experience. 2) Call the Better Business Bureau to determine whether any complaints have been made against the contractor. 3) Ask the contractor for references, including names of customers who hired him for work similar to yours. Look at photographs of those jobs and, if possible, visit one or more of them to examine the work for yourself. 4) Check the contractor's business address to be sure he has an office and^a stake in the community. 5) Make sure the corrtrac- TXfc.TOA Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? But what if everybody in this country were to throw their hands up in despair and say they don't give a hoot. Indeed, there would be no tomorrow. But fortunately, Americans have a way of solving their problems. And that's just what's going to happen in these troubled times. Simply because it's always been an American tradition. Now, how can you, as one little ole citizen in this big, wide country of ours, be of any help? Well, take a minute and think about a U.S. Savings Bond. That's right, a U.S. Savings Bond. No, it isn't an immediate remedy for all our ills. But it helps. If everybody were to buy just one $25.00 Savings Bond (cost $18.75), your country would be stronger economically to wipe out some of those scars we've been sporting. Of course, everybody would be " helping themselves, too. If you were to sign up on a Bond purchase plan where you work or bank, you'd have quite a nice nest egg for yourself one of these days. You'd have a lot more dollars in the kitty for things like college educations, that new home, or a secure retirement. So think about, a U.S. Savings Bond today. And then go out and buy one. Tomorrow.

Generally, a permit is required to build a garage, make an addition to the house, or alter or expand plumbing or electrical work. 7) Demand a written contract that includes detailed specifications, the date the work should start, price to be paid, materials to be used and the date of completion. 8) Make a down payment that is no larger than is necessary to showWod faith. Generally, 5 to 10 p&r-centals adequate. 9) Additional payments should be made only as the contractor provides written lien waivers showing that he has paid labo^ and material costs for work . already completed. Subcontractors can legally demand payment by the property owner if they are not paid by th€ contractor and they have a lien, or claim, on the property until payment is made. If the work is extensive, arrange for a bank, mortgage company, or other financial institution to handle payments. 10) Finally, don't select a contractor simply on the basis of a low bid. The low bidder may not necessarily be the best , performer. Also, he may have N underestimated the actual costs of doing the job correctly.
