Subdivision pipe job The Nevada City Council isn't inclined "to gamble city funds on the success of Steger's eight-lot subdivision." The councilmen and Ken Baker, representative for subdivider Don Steger, talked for 90 minutes Monday evening about the Steger Tract, proposed for 43 lots within Nevada City. The lots would be south of Martin and Clay-Streets. The difficulty concerns the city's main water line from Canada Hill which cuts across a number of the lots, At the beginning of the long evening City Manager Beryl Robinson. Jr. explained that the city could reimburse Steger for half of the cost of the new 14-inch cast iron pipe for a portion of the relocation project plus a: valve and two Ts which would benefit the city but not Steger. The cost to the city would be $2,582, An engineer's fee to check the hookups and see that the pipe had been relocated correctly would be $200, he added. Steger's men would dig the trench, place the pipe and other connections and. do the back filling, Baker said. The city ‘would be paying for that portion of-the new pipe line which benefitted the city by reimbursing the subdivider, Robinson explained. City Attorney William Wetherall questioned whether -the. subdivision project needed a licensed engineer, Baker said he had received three opinions that it did not "if a man were working on his own property as would be the case with Steger." The talk among the participants became more and more GL) Sights On Safety by YL Public Information Office gets long discussion tense until everyone was talking through clenched jaws with icy politeness, When the Steger Tract was proposed to the council a month ago Baker said it would contain 43 lots and a small green park for the use of residents. Steger wants to obtain tentative map approval now for eight lots along existing streets, Baker said, "to test the economic feasibility of the project. If these lots don't sell then the whole project is not feasible." After other business and the Steger contingent had left the council room, the councilmen returned to discussion of the subdivision. Each councilman stated that he preferred "the whole subdivision to be completed, nothing piecemeal." "He wants: to sell eight lots and he wants us to move.a pipe,"" Councilman Lon Cooper said. "It lacks sales potential that a complete package would have," was Councilman Joe Day's comment. "We're gambling with $2,800 of city money on his eight lots," Bob Paine added and Mayor John Rankin nodded his agreement as each comment was made. Rankin appointed Day, Robinson and City.Attorney William Wetherall to meet again, this afternoon, with Baker and Steger to:-iron out: “conditions to ac-: company approval. of the tentative map." The conditions will include how, when the cost of relocating the 1,500 feet of water. pipe line. -.; The council -will meet again Monday -to consider the conThree-Wire Plugs: What. They Mean to You eight decades have since Thomas Edison introduced the phenomenon of his electric light to an amazed world: In. many ways electricity remains a mystery to man, yet it is an-essential part of our contemporary Society. However, at the flick of a switch electricity. can become a killer.Perhaps the figure of approximately 1000 lives per year being taken by electric shock is not so staggering, considering that over 200 million people live in this country. Nevertheless, it is still a wanton and needless waste of human life. Many means are being em-ployed to reduce shock fatalities and one such method is the 3-wire plug. The third wire of this plug acts as what is called a ground conductor and serves as one of the protective means for the device. Such protection is accomplished through the ability of the wire to force the fuse or circuit breaker to thereby hazard Over a) pliances. When a situation arises re“blowing”. fuses or circuit srenkers, -. should be emphasized that “happens for your protection. There is wrong with the fuse. The fault lies elsewhere; either with the, appliance. which forces this reaction or because ‘the ‘circuit: has been overloaded.‘In either case, the fuse is just doing its job of protecting you, and warning that something is wrong. Should an ‘instance occur wherein there is-a fault-in an appliance but a fuse doesn’t “blow”, the appliance becomes an extreme hazard as it remains “live”. Therefore, if one were to contact the “‘live’’ metal enclosure of that appliance and some: thing which is grounded (radiator, refrigerator, water pipe, etc.), shock and possible electrocution could result. Perhaps your. home is not equipped with grounding type . receptacles. If this is the case, an adapter is available to accommodate the 3wire plug. But always make sure the green grounding lead of the adapter is connected to the faceplate of the receptacle. Another point to be remembered is never to remove the ground pin from a 3-wire plug. This would allow the plug to be used in a 2-hole ie but the protective capability is rendered useless.” In Offering the above information, Underwriters’ Laboratories sincerely hopes you gain a better understanding of some of the many ways electricity can become your master.
