J. Morgan, Repub- Iican, who has asked his successor Eugene I. Meyer, to look into the dan gerous conditions there.
 committee of the Common COun- cil is now Investigating conditions and a report is soon expected with recom- mendations of the establishment of such safeguards as were promised by the Connecticut company when the sideYlak was covertly grabbed.
 '"The trolley cars go merrily over the sidewalk without any gate or flag men or danger sign" protests Alder man Morgan in his communication to Alderman Meyer. He points out pass the place in an almost cOntinu- ous stream from daybreak till late at night. MT. Morgan adds that he him self has witnessed a very close call from death at the spot.
 The stone abutment supporting the Viaduct at this point obstructs the view of the east bound pedestrians who may walk directly upon the tracks without knowledge of the ap- proach of an east bound car turning north for the new car barns.
 The tracks intersecting the side walk at this point it will be recalled were laid in dead of nightNin the nick of time to prevent contemplated re- scinding of the action of the last Re publican administration granting per mission for the death trap.

SMITH CLARK
 HIT BY GAR,
 FATALLY HURT

Smith Clark, aged about 65, a re- tired farmer of Milford, was probably fatally hurt near the main entrance to St. NIichaePs cemetery this after noon when an east bound trolley car ran down from the rear a team he was driving home laden with grain.
 Clark was thrown headlong into the macadam roadway, and when the crew of the trolley car reached him, they found him unconscious and bleeding from scalp wounds.
 Responding to an ambulance call Dr. Krause found Clark critically hurt, with concussion of the brain and fracture of the skull. On account of Clark's advanced age little hope Is held out for his recovery.
