The following rules apply to firearm hunting: 1. You must have written permission from the owner of the property on which you intend to hunt. ,2. The area in which you are hunting must be 1500 feet from any residence or other structure. 3. The only type of firearm allowed is a shotgun with no larger than size 4 shot.

You must have written permission from the owner of the property on which you intend to hunt and your hunting license when applying for a permit at the Police Department. 4.

ATTENTION HEATING PERMITS REQUIRED FOR REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR WORK TO HEATING SYSTEMS Per the State Building Code, the City of Ramsey requires a heating permit for the installation of gas piping and the conversion or installation of heating equipment for existing construction as well as new construction. The permit charge is $25.00 for residential proper- ties and 1 % of the valuation (or a minimum of $25.00) for commercial properties. This fee helps defray the cost of inspections of the system. Persons are urged to comply with the permit requirement in order that inspections can be conducted to insure that the systems are functioning properly for health and life safety reasons. Applications for heating permits can be made at Ramsey Municipal Center during the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. If you need additional information, contact Building Official Elvin Erickson at 427-1410. CHIMNEY SAFETY HINTS With the arrival of the heating season, it is time to make sure that chimneys are clean and in proper working order. Chimneys should be cleaned frequently, especially if used often in the winter. There are several chimney sweeps in the area who will clean your chimney for a fee, or you can call a rental business and obtain cleaning equipment. There are chimney fire extinguishers for sale at most hardware and lumber stores. These are designed for home owners to put in the stove when they ex- perience a chimney fire. To make sure a chimney fire doesn't take you by sur- prise, check smoke detectors to make sure they are working properly. The life they save may be yours. Finally, make sure flammable liquids are removed from the home. These hints can help keep your fireplace the cozy addition to your home it was intended to be.
