MEANING OF BUILD-
ING RESTRICTIONS
Since the War Industries Board sent
forth its famous Order No. 21. restrict
jug building, we have had numerous in-
quiries" from our readers as to the ex-
act meaning of that order and what
class of buildings were prohibited and
what allowed and under what condi
tions.
A matter of such vital importance to
the growth of Altus a matter which can
so radically affect its prosperity- calls
for a clear understanding and explana-
tion. " „ . ,

thoritative ruling. »e interviewed Mr.' The Tant boys took some of the

However, the War Industries Board, More Good Rains
realizing the stagnation that would re-J
suit from a literal reading of this order, ^ ^ has retdved scv_
as well as the damage to property f d showers during the past week,
subject to the ravages of time "s«|p . h bei registered in showers of

the rule to permit:—
1 Repairs of or extensions to exist-
ing buildings involving in the aggre-
gate a cost of not exceeding $2500; and
2—New construction for farm pur-
poses only involving in the aggregate
a cost not exceeding $1000.
The matter, as explained by Mr. Ed-
wards. is quite clear, and there should
be no misunderstanding.
Briefly, any one can. just as before,
and without a permit:
1—Make repairs or extensions to any
existing building of any kind, provid-
ing the total cost, including labor, ma-
terials and everything else, is under
$2500.
2 Build any new building, for farm
purposes only, where the total cost, as
above, is under $1000
Each builder is put individually on his
honor to confine his construction work
to really essential buildings and also
to use as little "skilled labor" as pos-
sible.
It will be seen from the above that
while-new buildings, except small ones
r I for the farm, are frowned on, yet re-

of infinite moods and fancies, she

In the Brahms Hungarian
Dances she is an eroSc, heedless

of the great operas she lurks, a
winsome, dainty creature of

spell of her charm; Pierrot and

for she is mistress of the CarnivaL
And you, as you plod along the
