2 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JULY 30, 1921 G. F. BUTLER NAMED BUILDING INSPECTOR Engineer Appointed by Village to Take Charge cf all Building Inspection Work Within Winnetka Limits EXPERT ON CONSTRUCTION Will Insist that Contractors Con- form in Every Detail to Stip- lations of Building Code Rigid inspection of all building construction work in Winnetka is announced this week in the report of the appointment this week of George F. Butler, formerly of Windes and Marsh, as Village Building In- spector for Winnetka, an office pro- vided for in the Village Budget as a branch of the Department of Public Works. Butler, who served in the World War with an Engineers' unit of the United States Army, is to have di- rect charge of inspection of build- ings, plumbing, sewers, sidewalks, driveways, etc., in connection with building construction work in the vil- lage. It is to be his duty to insist that contractors conform in every particular with the building regula- tions as set forth in the Village Code, some of the more important of which may be summarized as follows: One. No work on any building, either excavation or construction, shall be started until plans have been approved by the Department of Public Works, and a building permit issued. Two. Plans must be accompanied by an application for building permit, properly filled out and signed. Ap- plication blanks may be obtained at the office of the Department of Pub- lic Works, Village Hall. Three. The use of fire hydrants for water in construction work is ab- solutely prohibited except on public improvements. Four. No flat rate water permit for building construction shall be is- sued, until a building permit has been taken out. Five. In case of a change in plans after a building permit is taken out, the Department of Public Works must be notified before such changes are put into effect. Six. The use of streets for storage of materials is not allowed without special permit. Seven. The placing of materials on Sheridan Road is absolutely pro- hibited. Eight. The use of adjacent park- ways for storage of materials is pro- hibited unless the consent of the owner of the lot is obtained. Nine. Material placed on streets must be protected by red lanterns at night. Ten. All material stored on streets or parkways must be removed when building is under roof. L Eleven. Afl surplus excavation must be removed from streets before responsible contractor leaves the job. Twelve. Sidewalks must be kept clean and free from obstruction dur- ing building operations. Thirteen. The mixing of concrete, plaster, mortar or other materials on sidewalks or streets is not allowed. Fourteen. Curbs and walks must be properly protected by planks be- fore materials are hauled over them. Fifteen. Trees in parkways must be properly protected against dam- age and no trees in parkways shall be trimmed or removed without spe- cial permit from this office or from the Village Forester. Sixteen. All excavations made in or under street pavements must be back-filled with sand. LESS FARMS IN COUNTY, BUT WORTH MORE MONEY A decrease of 6.3 per cent in the number of farms in 1920 from those in 1910, and an increase of $5,187,744 in the value of land and buildings was reported this week by the bureau of census of the department of commerce for Cook County, -Illi- nois. The figures for domestic an- imals in 1910 are not very closely comparable with those for 1920 since the present census was taken in January before the breeding season had bebun while the 1910 census was taken in April or about the middle of the breeding season. In the 1910 census 5663 farms were reported, while in the recent census it was found that there are only 5305 farms. The value of land and buildings in 1910 was $85,543,087. In 1920 it was estimated to be $90,- 730,831. While in 1910 there were 331,092 improved acres of farm land, in 1920 there were only 303,470 acres. The figures in domestic animals show a decrease in 1920 over 1910 for reasons stated above. RECOMMEND MORE PAY FOR VILLAGE HEALTH OFFICER That Winnetka merits the full time services of a health officer was ex- pressed in a report before the last meeting of the Village Council by trustee H. C. Ballenger, chairman of the Health and Safety committee of the council. In 'his report, trustee Ballenger advised employing the full time of the Village Health Officer. General discussion of the matter in council session found the trustees of the opinion that Winnetka had not yet reached the point or size where it could afford the full time services of a health official. It was recommended, however, that the salary of Health Officer Schneid- er be increased to enable him to de- vote more time to local health work. The recommendation was referred to the Finance comittee of the Council for consideration. FREE of the finest quality .
