Page 10 Clinton,,Nows,Recard Thursday, May 19, 1960 Properly Built Chimney Will Last. for Lifetim0 of Your New House In. a .well-designed. house the chimney :should hartnOnize with' the rest of the ,structure,- Wher-' ever possible it should actually entande the general appearance, of the building but its main pur- pose is functional, rather than . deeorative. There are three things. basic to a good chimney, First, it must be. able to. draw off all gases .and smoke resulting from 'the .conbus- tion of fuels. Its efficiency in this,riespect will depend On the size of the flue, the height of the chinineY, ,and the air pressure Within. the stack, though this fac- tor is sometimes idifficult. to con- trol. Second,- it must be fire- proof, A poorly constructed chim- ney is a constant fire hazard, es- pecially if solid fuels are used. Third, the chimney must be built- to last, Acids produced by coin- bustiou have corrosive effect, and .cause certain types of mason- ry to' disintegrate more raPit11y than others. These.acids can also be harmful to metals, When quality materials. .are us- ed, .and the chimney is put up by competent tradesmen, it can be expected to give satisfactory ser- vice throughout the life of the house. 'A poorly built chimney, on - the -other. hand, may require re- _ pairs every few years. In the long run, it will prove expensive. There are a number of • good prefabricated -chi/limeys on the market which ,are acceptable for use in NBA financed houses. If the manufacturer's .installatiOn in- structions are folloWed• carefully these chimneys will fulfill their — task efficiently. In many instances a chimney has. two flues, one for the fire- place and one,. for the central heating unit. Since this type of chimney is more in. a.ssive than a - single-flue chimney; . can be , blended • 'mere r -easily With the .gefferal - appearance 'of the house. A chimney can.heelmilt either tmside : ca outside one •buillding, or within tlYd house itself. Mere are advantages in having the chim- ney enclosed within the structure, since •sonieof the -heat that Would otherwise be lost is. radiated - through the living area. Moreover; an inside chimney is not subject to as large, a variation of tena- Pemture between top 'and bottom, and condensation . which releases destructive acids is less likely to do damage. Beth exterior and interior mas- onry chimneys are built in basi- °ally the same fashion, The eX- pesed portion of the chimney a- bove the roDf,should not be more than four times. the diameter of the chimney, unless bracing is provided. In any case, the chin- nay should .project at least three feet above its highest point of contact with the roof. If it is within ten feet of the ridge or roof peak, the chimney top Must be at least two feet higher than the ridge for proper performance, Masonry chimneys are heavy and their footingS have to support a greater load per square foot than footings for any other part of the honSe. For outside Chim- neys the footing can be pOured as one unit within the foundation footing. For interior chimneys, however, a separate footing is re- quired. It is unsound to have a basement column and a chimney share 'the same footing, unless it has been designed by an engineer. A masonry chinmey with a flue lining needs only one row of brick, but two rows are required if the flue is not lined- Chimney lining IS usually made of vitreous clay tile. For a furnace flue the minimum inside diameter of the lining is seven inches, but a fire- place flue needs a larger cross- section. Each heating unit should have its own flue, except for gas- fired appliances which may share a common flue if special auto- matic shut-offs .are provided• for each -connected appliance. For ex- ample, the stove, the furnace and the water heater, all using gas as fuel, may be connected to the one chimney flue. To reduce fire: hazard jointS be- tween chimney 'bricks should be completely filled with mortar. This applies both to the vertical and horizontal joints. When the mortar has begun to set the joints should be "pointed", including joints in that section of the chim- ney to be concealed within the walls, Pointing hardens the sin-- face. When the excess mortar squeeied out'of a -joint is left hanging along the edge, it dries out too rapidly •and crumbles a- The mortar inside the joint is sometimes ,,affected as well. Jeints in the flue lining should not line •up horizontally with joints iii the' brick-Work eneazing the flue. At times it is difficult to avoid' doing 'this but joints should be staggered as mach ..as possible.

The problems arise when more than one person have the same initials. Because of certain mechanical requirements and limitations, the CommiSsiork asked only for the family name and two initials' when residents were originally- register- ed. This works well in most cases but difficulty arises when there is more than one "T. J. Brown". or "L. D. Jackson" for example, on one rural route. However, a way has been found to give better identification as cases are discov- ered. If any. of our readers have had this difficulty, the, 'best - thing tO do is to advise th Commission.
