While He Was Absent From

Plaster Fell.
ROOM LOOKED LIKE WRECK
HAD PERRY yEEN At HIS
DESK IT Is PROBABLE THAT He
WOULD HAvEa1EEN SERIOUSLY
HURT.

With clatter and crash that startl-
ed everyone who heard it, the plaster
fell from the ceiling in the office OF
the city controller. The plaster
which became detached fell with great
force upon the desk OF Controller Per-
~ and smashed into q thousand bits.
It happened that the controller was
at q counter in another part OF Office
at the time. Had he been at his desk,
where he spends the most OF his time
there Is every reason to believe he
would have been very seriously or ia
tally hurt.
The plaster became detached from a
place about three feet square. 1t fell
upon the controllers books and pa
pers and filled the room with lime
and sand. The office was not habi-
table for some time afterward.
