Fell from tho Dam at Williams.

While working on the Santa Fe Pa. cific dam at Williams last week Thos. George fell from a height of seventy feet, and while he was badly injured, he will be able to return to work in a few weeks. He was working along the crest of the dam, holding the guide rope used to swing the huge blocks of stone into position, when he gave a tug on the rope and it parted. George fell backward for distance of twelve feet before striking the first terrace below, from which he bounded from one to the other until the bottom was reached, seventy feet below. He was rendered unconscious and half a dozen bones in his body were broken. This is the third accident of the kind to happen almost in the same place since the dam was started.

There are at present several boule-

council. but for some unaccountable rea-

Take the case of Fifth avenue north,
for example, and there is at least an
other avenue bes des this waiting for

not fight the proposition. But whether
it does not a. majority of the property
owners desire the work done, and one

There is q difference of opinion among
the property owners about the grade in
a certain block in the proposed improve

most concerned that a change be made
in the established grade. and the others
are generally wiling that some change
be made, but there is no agreement as to
the extent of the change.
The only power that can change this
grade is the city council, but 1t refuses
to take any action in the matter, and
perslstently allows the question to drag,
perhaps with the hope that the improve
ment may be delayed for another year
and that is likely to be the result unless
action is taken soon.

owners can do no more. They the UNI
