the interests of safety and fair play, and incidentally to procure additionâ€" al revenue ,all types of heating equipment should require permits. The Moraine Hotel has petitioned the council to allow it to put up directional signs at the intersections of Deerfleld Road and Skokie and quired ‘to install these units In The city‘s Building Department alâ€" have been one or two fires caused by gas water heaters. Although so finds itself in the throes of anâ€" other dilemma. â€" Recently, there the committee working on the new building code has been placed on record as recommending the instalâ€" lation of some sort of relief valves for these heaters, nothing has been done about changing the existing ordinance because the committee wants to submit the code to the council for approval in its entireâ€" ty. The committee in question has been working on the code now for two years and heaven only knows how much longer it will take for the job to be completed. It seems to this writer that until the commitâ€" tee finishes its work, emergency changes should be provided for as the need arises. Another discrepâ€" ancy in the current building code centers on heating equipment. Unâ€" der the present code as it is now constituted only oil burner installaâ€" tions require permits from the city‘s Building Department. In reâ€" cent years, gas and stoker fired furâ€" naces have made rapid strides in the heating equipment field. Howâ€" ever, to date ,no permits are reâ€" } The North Shore Buick Co. peâ€" titioned the council for permission to erect a wooden shelter on its Used Car lot for the use of its salesmen. _ Although there are one or two shelters of this type already in use in the city, their construcâ€" tion is technically a violation of the city‘s building ordinance. . The North Shore Buick Co. in following the regular channel of planning for its edifice by applying for a permit has apparently run into a snag. On the ther hand, those who put up their buildings without benefit of permit seemingly have their cake and are eating it too. Temporarily stumpâ€" ed by this incongruity, the council company‘s petition under adviseâ€" has taken the North Shore Buick ment.. On the face of the facts brought to light to date the counâ€" cil has only two alternatives. Eithâ€" er change the ordinance and allow the petitioner to put up his shelter, or force the others to take theirs down. the contract at Monday evening‘s missioner Gourley. The Electro Rustproofing Corporation of Dayâ€" ton, O., who was the only firm to submit a bid on the Sunset water tower project was also awarded a contract to go ahead with this work. The Electro Rustproofing COrpon-‘ tion‘s (bid, submitted last week, amounted to $575.00. ‘ Monday evening‘s City Council meeting was strictly of the routine business variety. With no headline attraction on the calendar, as was the case last week when the bids for the Green Bay Road feeder water main project were opened, attendance was at a minimum.

Murphy City Council â€" After the meeting in the mayors‘ chambers, the dog pound problem came up for discussion among a group consisting of the mayor, Comâ€" missioners Swanson and Bowes, your reporter, and a fifth gentleman who admirably represented the dog lovâ€" ard. To alleviate this situation, he suggested that parking space privileges for two cars be eliminatâ€" ed from this area. _ Mayor Ronan called the council‘s attention to a parking problem at the northeast corner of Sheridan road and Park avenue. He stated that cars were being parked so close to the corner at this spot that it definitely provided a traffic hazâ€" Upon petition by the local Amâ€" erican Legion Post the council ofâ€" ficially designated May 26 as the official Poppy sale day.

Commissioner Bowes reâ€" ported that the springs on his car and his own bones are about at the limit of their endurance when traâ€" versing this thoroughfare . Comâ€" missioner Swanson states that his department is doing all in its power to take some of the stigma from the name of the street that now is commonly known as ‘Swanson‘s Boulevard.‘ ‘The department‘s gradâ€" er is in the throes of a $600.00 reâ€" pair job. To help solve the probâ€" lem, Commissioner Swanson is neâ€" gotiating with a grader manufacâ€" turing concern to send one of their machines up for a practical demonâ€" stration of its merits on Green Bay Road. At the moment, it appears that the Street Department is not going to be convinced of the merits of the machine in question until most of the citys‘ immediate gradâ€" ing requirements are taken care of.
