Recently the borough or-
dered published an advertise-
ment reminding the general
public that building permits
are required if $100 or more
worth of improvements are
to be made on properties.

The “feedback” to the Bul-
letin editor on this subject
has been unusually high. Ap-
parently the general public
has never understood com-
pletely about building per-
mits and people continue to
ask questions, uncertain a-
bout certain wvariations of
building.
® oo o
One of the problems is the
difference between improve.
ments and maintenance. No
permit is needed to paint a
house, to replace a faulty
bathroom fixture or install a
worn -out hot water heater.
® © o
But, a new roof is some-
thing else again. A new gar-
age, a new back porch, etc.
etc. are adding value to the
property beyond the normal
wear and tear and the nor-
mal depreciation.
® oo o
Another problem area con-
cerns ‘the ‘do-it-yourself’ im-
provement program.

For instance; a family
wishes to build a patio in
the back yard. The week-end,
do-it-yourself construction
amateur (or perhaps he is a
skilled hard-working build-
ing craft employee during
his working hours) figures
out his project and belieces
that ‘he can do the job for
a cash: outlay of--$85. -How-
ever, it will take him and
his son-in-law. 25 hours of
labor to dig out, put in the
drainage, set the forms and
finish off the job.
® © ©
At a conservative figure
for payment of such labor,
the total value of the job
bounces well over the $100
minimum and therefore the
project calls for a building
permit.

The theory involved is that
home improvements add wval-
ue to the property and there.
fore the property is subject
to: additional taxes. Also,
whatever building is done is
subject to zoning laws.

The building regulations
are designed to protect all
property owners. For examp-
le, it would be unfair for a

‘The Little Man’ Retired
By Libby Rainboli
A retirement ceremony
was given in honor of “The
Little Man”, a horse owned
by Miss Jean Ramsay of Hol-
ly Hill Stables, east of Lan-
disville Aug. 31 at Quentin
Riding Club’s Fall Horse
Show. For the past 16 years
the horse has been shown in
this area.
During the ceremony, the
stirring music of “Pomp and
Circumstance” was played
while Miss Ramsay rode
“Man” around the show ring
for the final time before re-
ceiving his last ribbon.
Little Man, a beautiful
bay, came to Holly Hill Sta-
bles in 1956. Since then he
has collected 340 ribbons -—-—
175 blues, 12 championships,
and several reserve champ-

ionships. He was undefeated
in the Bridle Path Hack Div-
ision while on the Central
Pennsylvania Junior Horse
Show Association circuit in
1957-58-59.
Miss Ramsey has ridden
him through the gates of 48
different show rings, where
he was a blue ribbon winner
in 42 and in the ribbons in
the remaining six. The last
time he was shown by Miss
Ramsay, he was again placed
first.
This little horse, who is
well over 20 years old, has
been shown in equitation and
pleasure classes, walk-trot
classes, and has been ridden
on many trail rides.
In the winter he has been
a familiar sight pulling a
sleigh on the roads in and
around Landisville.
Although Little Man still
is sound of wind and limb,
he will not be shown in the
ring again. Miss Ramsay
says, “He has done enough.”
