Isadore Forman told the subcommittee headed by Sen. Blair Moody, (D. Mich.) that he has been in the steel brokerage trade for about a year. “Steel was expensive and a lot of people were finding it hard to get so I thought I’d go in the hbsinees,” he said. Under questioning .bv. committee counsel Gillis Long, Forman said ! that he has only one source of 'supply for the steel he sells —the M. & E. company of New Cumberland, W. Va. He said Matthew Phillips, president of. the Jf. & E. company, is a family friend. V i - “If the M. ft E. company cut Off my supply, I’d be out of the steel business,” he said. Forman testified under subpena before the subcommittee, a unit of the senate small business committee, along with Matthew Phillips and his brother, Harry Phillips, who is president of the Ohio Valley Tool and Die company at Steubenville, O. The Phillips brothers maintain■' ed that they are engaged in legitimate “business enterprises and that they take no more than 8 “fair” markup on their products. Harry Phillips said his markup usually runs from $42 to $43 pet" ton of steel which he described as “not unusually high.” He produced invoices in support of his statements.

Suggestions To Water Consumers k : ! ! -v • ■ I . ' Please observe the following precautions NOW before damage occurs. . Replacements of certain materials are still hard to obtain. Should too many breaks in water lines or meters occur from neglect, it may be necessary for us to shut off service until replacement parts arrive. This may take several weeks and will greatly inconvenience both yourself and the city. HELP YOUR CITY, AND YOURSELF BY I PROTECTING YOUR METER TODAY. I

METERS Water Meters are furnished by the Water Department but the consumer is required to keep the surroundings of the meter clean, dry and of easy access and protect the same from freezing, f All damage done the meter by freezing or by hot water poured on or forced back through the - ’ meter is charged to the consumer. < rv j: • . , ■ \ ■ ■ - - L , \ PROTECT YOUR METER TODAY! < [ Frozen Pipes and Meters If pipes are frozen they may be thawed in some cases by wrapping cloths around them and pouring hot water on. If there is a bad case of i frozen pipes or if a house js to be closed for the ; winter it is best to secure the services of & j competent plumber. \ I . Do not pour hot water on the meter. Do not build a fire on the meter as it will ruin the rubber piston and celluloid register. In case of a frozen meter call this department before the same thaws out and causes a damage to your property and a waste of water. J ' . . . ' j Sill Cocks for Sprinkling Sill cocks or house faucets on the side of tfye house should be shut off in the basement before freezing weather and when this is done, the faucet should be opened so as to admit air, which will cause the water to run out at the stop and waste in the basement. This procedure should be followed when it is desired to drain the hbuse pipes. Air must be admitted at the top to force k the water out below. -a

WATER CLOSETS AND FAUCETS Water ’ closets and faucets should be examined frequently in order to keep the consumption \ of water on a normal basis. After a closet has . been flushed and the tank is filled, there should be no movement of the water in the bowl ; if there ! is, water is wasting into the sewer. By holding a piece of paper or cardboard gainst the rear portion of the bowl, a flow may be detected which ah ordinary examination would not disclose. STOP ALL LEAKS PROMPTLY as “a waste of water is a waste of money.” HOW TO SHUT OFF WATER The “shut off” valve known as the stop and waste, where the pipes enter the basement or building is your immediate protection in the event of a burst pipe or meter and also for the purpose of shutting off and draining the house pipes where' and when there is danger pf freezing; it should be easy of access and in good conI dition. In some basements it is covered with coal or it is in such bad condition that it cannot be . turned. , - \ I.' - ‘ The man of tjhe house should see thati the Stop and waste is in good order and that the folks at home know how to operate it. To shut off turn handle so that it is at right angle with the pipe, one-quarter turn or if a wheel valve turn to right until completely closed. ALL SERVICE MUST HAVE A PRIVATE SHUT OFF INSTALLED AND IN WORKING ORDER! , \
