PURSSELL SUCCEEDS
0UTRAM AS OBSERVER

U: G: Pqrssell Of Erie, Pa, has been
appointed by Willis F. Moore, chief of
the weather bureau. to take charge of
the Minneapolis station, in the place of
Section Director T.. S. Outram. who
died Wednesday,. The promptness with
which the vacancy has been filled is
due to the fact that the weather bureau
is on strict civil service basis and
no time is lost in weighing the relative
political influence Of the applicants for
appointments.
Mr.. Purssell is at present in charge
of the observatory at Erie. Pa, as local
forecaster. Until year ago he was in
charge at Sioux City, Iowa. He viii
take charge in Minneapolis on Jan. j,
and in the regular procedure Of the ser,
vice probably will be promoted to the
grade of section director at that time,
as the Minneapolis office has general
supervision over the meteorological work
of the state. :"
Until Mr.. Purssell arrives the Min
neapolis office will. be in the charge Of
Charles D. Hyle, one of the regular To-
cal force, and the man who ranked next
to Mr.. Outram. Notice Of Mr.. Purs-
sells appointment was received here TO-
day. ~. ,,s' ,-,.,a' ..:.r......
An appointment to the MINNEAPOLIS
office is one of the most important in
the service, as This office handles the
bulletins from the wheat regions Of the
northwest and 1T is the post which
gives first warning of the cold waves
emanating from the Canadian, north
west. '.

BUILDERS ARE WARNED
INSPECTOR CALLS ATTENTION TO.
DANGER OF REMOVING SUP
PORTS BEFORE CONCRETE SETS.

James g. Houghton, building inspec-
tor, is apprehensive that some serious
accident will befall certain buildings
in the city unless the contractors exer-
else greater care in the concrete work.
In order to finish their contracts as
soon as possible there is a tendency to
take the forms off before the mixture
has properly set, and consequently is
not strong enough to bear much of a
load s-.a
A few days ago he, discovered that
the forms had been taken off some
fairly massive work in less than three
weeks after the concrete mixture had
been poured. He ordered that tempo
rary supports be installed until the
concrete was able to carry it's load.
On another occasion one of the in
spectors arrived at a building Just as
the workmen were preparing to take off
the forms. They were stopped in
stanter and the arrival Of the inspector
Just at that time was probably most
fortunate. ~ III, II ~. tEa-
This criticism is directed particularly
to the smaller contractors who are
somewhat new at the business. Where
salamanders are used to dry the con-
crete there is danger of drying it too
fast, which has the effect of impairing
the strength. Mr.. Houghton is sending
warnings to all builders to use the
greatest care ,-..

FREIGHT BUSINESS LESS
Figures for November Show Falling
Off from October Totals.

Compared with, the previous month,
the month of November, according to
the record compiled by the CONNER
cial club, shows slight falling off in
some items Of freight business in Min
neapolis. This is explained by the
fact that in these lines the October
movement was heavier than usual. Car
shortage troubles, too, combined to
bring the November total down.
Wheat shows S,1O3 cars received and
1851 shipped in November as against
9,033 received and 2,092 shipped in
October. Flour shows a slight gain,
and merchandise movements were less
than for October. Household goods
movements continue to show gains
every month. Coal is heavy item in
November, the total receipts being
65.201 tons.
