Barge fleeting rules win approval near Wisconsin streams
Wisconsin Natural Resources Board adopted rules for barge fleeting sites on the Mississippi, La Crosse, Black and St Croix rivers, requiring DNR permits and 5 to 10 year terms with lighting to prevent collisions and avoid interference with river activities. The move drew support from environmentalists and residents but faced legal challenges from barge operators.

Weather records and a plea to curb sewer pollutions
Weather records span several Aug dates from 1896 to 1972 with H and L codes noted. Dorothy Hill, president of Citizens for a Clean Mississippi, urged the board to pressure Twin Cities to eliminate combined sewer overflows that could pollute the Mississippi when overloaded by storm water or snowmelt. She noted the Pig’s Eye plant near St Paul serves an 11 county region and accused the commission of dragging its feet on reducing pollutants released into the river.

Why saltbox houses are named so
P K of Cranston asks about the saltbox house name. The feature resembles the salt box ox used to hold salt near chimneys with a sloping lid to keep water out. Real estate operators coined the term. Home Hints notes half and half turpentine and linseed oil can remove cloudy film from furniture.
