The east elevator in the city hall
fell from the second floor the only
occupant being Norman Havcrly, con
ductor, who suffered a shaking up,
but was not injured.
The impact of the, car on the bot
tom Of the shaft aroused employees,
who rushed to the balcony ratings
Of the various floors, expecting some
thing serious had happened.
This elevator has been closed and
will not be used again. The council
is about to advertise for bids for re-
modelling the city hall, the plans in

been needed for some time.
The condition OF the city hall ele-
lvators has been a matter of concern
for year. The cars have dropped
on several occasions, but this was
the first time that one of them
dropped without being checked. If
this east car had dropped from any
floor above the second the conse-
quences may easily beimagined.
The new elevators will be extended
to the basement and will cost 81 500.
