Welfare league recently received call from Mrs Cozetta Wilson 5112 Monroe Early in the morning she had noticed a large strange looking bird apparently resting be- tween her building and the one next door After keeping an eye on the bird for several hours and noting that it seemed unable to fly she enlisted the help of the man upstairs and they placed a box over the bird to protect if from any stray animals or inquisitive children The league was notified and when the driver ar- rived he found the bird to be a Bittern a large member of the Heron family It had probably become exhausted en its flight to the lands During the spring of the year the league receives numerous calls to rescue these birds Because of size about 24 in length and their beak they can be quite frightening The League makes every effort to return wild animals and birds to their natural habitat if their physical condition permits UUK oy To Make CCC Appointments Willing Willie Chicago's Oldest Neighborhood Answer Man I wish city housing inspectors would leave my lord He keeps the building in good shape but the inspectors are always prowling around my attic flat measuring the width of the stairway knocking on the walls to see of they're hollow etc The flat which has a front and back stairway was there when my landlord bought it more than 13 years ago He says it must have been there 40 years I am a disabled middle-aged woman on welfare like my attic flat and get along well with the landlord Also the welfare people approved the flat into which I moved two years ago A housing inspector from Austin Neighborhood Service center said We're not picking on the tenant or landlord just doing our job It seems attic flat in a dwelling is an illegal conversion according to the 1956 building code tions were made in January February and April followed by letters to the landlord stating the violation and asking that work be done to make the building conform to the city code Other letters when no work appeared to be done asked that he appear before a hearing board All letters were ignored by landlord If as your landlord maintains and he can prove it the attic was there 40 years ago he should explain it in court to a judge A new neighbor who moved in about a month ago across the alley on Massasoit north of Division has been throwing a great deal of trash which was apparently accumulated at least in part by the former owner He puts out trash far in advance of garbage pickup days and children scatter it in alley This is not only a Utter but an attraction to the The new neighbor according to Ward yard ent Bob Constantine is remodeling and renovating the ty The neighbor said he was sorry that he had put the debris ont days before the arrival of the sanitation crew and has promised that in the future he would call the ward office in advance if he had any large amount of trash and junk to discard Constantine was taken on a tour of the yard and home and praised your neighbor saying everything looked and clean Thanks for your prompt help in a stinky situation Now my family can breathe easily again without in- haling noxious fumes from the backup in the water closet that stunk up our apartment This was caused by the sewer which had also backed up in the basement leaving water on the floor for two weeks The day after I called you a city inspector came and checked the main sewer and the basement I was not at home at the time so I don't know what he did But the next day everything was fine and continues that way E P We're happy that happy and we're also happy that we have snch
