. COLD WEATHER HINTS GIVEN BY CITY WATER CO.

Precautions Urged to Keep

Meters and Pipes From Freezing.

~The mdianapolis Water Co. today advised householders to take precautions to prevent meters and water pipes from freezing during

Severe weather.

The normal winter brings the

company an average of 1500 complaints of frozen meters. In the

" severely cold winter of 1935-36, the number exceeded 6500, according to

Howard W. Niemeyer, the utility's superintendent of distribution. Most of these cases are the result. of carelessness, Mr. Niemeyer said. In many instances, meters and water pipes freeze because the householder leaves a basement window open or neglects to repair a broken window pane. 3 Suggestions Listed Suggestions issued by the water company for avoiding the expense and annoyance of A£reeze-ups are the

following: - 1. Close and seal all windows, doors

or other openings near your water |

pipes and meter, especially in the! basement.

2. Turn off the valve on the pipe; night.

line that feeds your outside hose

- and drain the pipe.

3. Examine the main shut-off valve on your house plumbing to make sure it is in good working order and availiable for instant use. This valve will be found near the meter. Closing this valve will cut off the water supply to your fixtures. It is for your protection in case of burst pipes or other emergency.

Wrap Exposed Pipes

4. Help to protect your plumbing against freeze-ups by wrapping’ exposed water pipes, fixtures, and meters with several layers of crumpled newspapers or other windproof material. ' ‘Freezing usually begins inside the house and travels outward toward the street. Therefore it is necessary to protect your house plumbing wherever it is exposed to cold air, especially in unheated basements. 5. Drain all water lines in property where no heat is maintained regularly, drain all fixtures and protect the traps. Have this job done

by a registered plumber and save

yourself unnecessary repair bills. 6. Check your service line, which belongs to you, as to depth below ground level. This means the line from your basement to the water main in the street. The company lays its water mains at least four feet six inches below the ground level for protection against freezing. But some service lines between water mains and basements are too shallow to be safe from frost damage—usually because of grade changes in street or yard. Be sure your service line is not too shallow. If you are in doubt, consult a registered plumber.

Mr. Jeffery, candidate for Superior Court judge last year, charged that Federal agents “are investigating a $25,000 bank account” of a former State official during the administration of former Governor Paul V. McNutt. He charged that no Federal income fax had been paid on the bank account. The speaker also denounced -what he termed waste of public funds in the State Administration. Referring to the 1940 campaign, Mr. Jeffery said “it amounts to a fight for thé best interests of the great masses of people as opposed to greed and corruption.” Other speakers at the meeting were Arch N. Bobbitt, State G. O. P. Chairman; Carl Vandevier, County Chairman; Ralph B. Gregg, 12th District Chairman; Mrs. Edna E. Pauley, vice chairman of the Republican Veterans, and the Rev. F. C. Huston, who spoke on behalf of the Townsend Recovery Plan.

Dog Who Was No. 1 Hero | To Firemen Killed by Car

NEW YORK, Nov. 10 (U, P.).— Nigger was old and his ancestry was a little dubious and he was small as fire dogs go, but: there

never will be another occupant big enough to fill his. place of privilege on the seat of engine No. 203. Nigger died last night—not of old age nor of any f{llness, but because a hit-and-run motorist struck him down in front of the station where for 10 years he had responded to every alarm that sounded by leaping to the seat of 203 and barking for the boys to hurry. In his 10 years of ive service Nigger—a - brindle mongrel—won three medals for life-saving and in 1936 received the diploma of honor for valor awarded by the magazine Dog World. It was Nigger’s practice—a technique he developéd on his own— of leaping from the engine and dashing into a burning building ahead of the firemen to scout around. The exploit firemen talk most about occurred: one night three

.the way he died. Mortally injured,

la years ago when Nigger rode to a fire at the home of Mrs. Maria Bermudez. John, Mrs. Bermudez’s 16-year-old son, ran back into the house to get his pet cat, Carlotta. Nigger disliked cats, but he knew his duty. He went into the burning house too, and came out, singed but dragging Carlotta with him. John didn’t make it and died. Nigger got a bronze medal for that and a certificate from the National Kennel Club of Washingion. There: were other deeds and enough medals to make an impressive showing on Nigger's breast when they hav2: his body mountad after the funeral. i What affected the men of 203 most today, however, was not Nigger’s - distinguished record but

he dragged himself back into thé! station, crouched at the side of the engine and leaped toward the seat which always before he had made at a single bound. ' This time the leap fell short, and Nigger collapsed and died on the running board.
