Kempiners, Director of the Illinois Depart­ ment ofy Public Health, has announced that, in accordance with a newly enacted state law, fees for birth and death cer­ tificates requested from the state health department in­ creased to $10, beginning Jan. 1; and the fee for short-form birth certificates increased from $3 to $5. "The increased revenue will be used to computerize the vital records system in order to provide faster service to the people of Illinois," Kempiners said. A short-form birth certificate contains only the name and sex of the child, the date of birth, the date of birth record was filed and the, certificate number. In addition, the fee for filing a delayed birth record, for correcting an existing record or establishing a new record based on adoption, will increase from $ 5 to $10. The $10 fee will include a certified copy of the record after the change has been made. Additional copies of birth records will be available for $2 each, if the copiejWe requested at the same time a certified copy is "asked for. Utility bills 'leap to stars' by Charlie Watters True to form, my winter utility bill made its annual "leap to the stars." Three years ago when I was complaining about my gas, water and electricity expenses, the costs were half of what I'm paying now. I didn't realize how good things were back then. Saving Money No one is predicting that utility rates will ever go down (without some drastic rethinking about our centralized power companies.) For now, the more optimistic reports say the most we can hope for is a slowdown in the amount of yearly increases. But you and I, as buyers of these utility services, can take steps to reduce expenses in our own homes. Following is a list of suggestions on how to cut overuse of utilities and save money: 1^-Make sure that all major appliances like furnace, kitchen range and refrigerator, and water heater have good seals on doors and clean filters that thev need to run at peak efficiency. 2- Water heater temperatures can usually be adjusted down to about the 120 degree level. If you have a dishwasher - you may want a hotter setting but for handwashing of dishes and normal shower and laundry use. 120 degrees is plenty hot. By operating at a lower tem­ perature,, you use less energy. 3 Reduce the thermostat setting of the furnace by 10 degrees at night and it's possible to save 10 to 20 percent on your heating bill. 4-Cover the foil-backed in­ sulation of heating and-or air conditioning ducts where they pass through unfinished basements and attics. Seal the cracks between each section of ducting with caulk and then add foil-backed insulation with the foil facing outward. To seal the cracks between the sections of insulation, use duct tape. In­ sulating the duct work can save anywhere from 25 to 35 percent on heating and cooling costs. 5-When weather stripping is mentioned most people think of doors windows. It is estimated that close to 75 percent of the cold air that enters a house comes in through electrical wall outlets, under baseboards, around sink and tub drain pipes and through holes where phone wires enter the house. These openings and gaps can stuffed with insulation or clauked. Special low cost gaskets can be purchased at hardware - stores to seal elec; trical outlets. VERY IM­ PORTANT: Remember to turn off the electricity to any outlet while you're working on it. 6-If possible; use a cold water detergent wheil laun­ dering clothes., 7-If you have a masonry fireplace chimney, it's likely the damper doesn't make a good seal when it's in the closed position. When the fireplace isn't being used, this gap can cause a draft up the chimney, drawing warm air from inside the house and shooting it out- sid^. put insulation in the gap40 tightly seal the damper and remember to remove it before you use the fireplace again. These are just a few ideas.- They all have one thing in common: they can be carried out with little or no cost. A number of utility companies offer home energy audits. For a nominal fee, the auditors locate trouble spots due to poor in­ sulation. cracks, gaps around windows and doors, dirty filters on appliances and similar areas of heat loss. For the small amount an audit costs, many people consider it money well spent.
