INDUSTRIAL BOARD
SETSAPRECEDENT
Verdict OF Commissioner i'm Case OF
Emp!oye Injured In East Moline
Plant Upheld.
II AWARDED s46a DAMAGES
Paul Haradon, MarseiIles Company
Employe. Loses Fingers in Cir
cnlar Saw.

Decision of the industrial board of
Illinois. just handed down, in the case
of Paul Haradon VS.. the Marseilles
Manufacturing company, of East Mo-
line, is believed by local attorneys to
have set precedent in the interpreted
ton of the employees compensation act
that will have far reaching effect
throughout the entire state.
Through the decision of the in
dustrial board. attorneys for the first
time have we'll defined idea to what
extent an employer is liable when a
man is injured while in his employe,
but while actually working at some
thing other than that which he is
technically hired to do. In this case,
darad0n was making himself a tool
box, on advice from his foreman, and
lost several fingers in a circular saw.
A board of arbitration awarded him
1852 and the company asked for a re-
view Of the case, contending that Har-
adon was employed as an assembler of
manure spreaders and that as he was
injured while not working at this task,
the company was not liable.
Company May Go Higher.
Commissioner Robert Eadie of Chi
cago after hearing in Rock Island,
upheld the board of arbitrators The
company demanded a review by the
entire industrial board This was
granted and the board upheld Com
missioner Eadie and awarded S462 to
Haradon, pointing out, in its decision,
that all employees were required to
have tool boxes. that Haradon's fore
man had told him he must have one,
and that his work in making the box
was for the eventual benefit of the
company. 1t is understood the COM
pany will appeal the case to the SUI
preme court.

Hawthorne Girls Win.

Two hard-fought contests In basket
ball yesterday afternoon resulted In a
victory for the Horace Mann boys over
Longfellow by the score of IL to 2
and victory for the Hawthorne girls
over the Longfellow team by the score
OF 10 to 0. According to Coach e. r.
MusselmEn, the reason for the zero
mark for the Longfellow girls score
may be found in the fact that that
team was an entirely new one and
holding their opponents to but 10
points probably indicates a more aus
picious future

CONsIOERINCNEW
PAVING PROJECTS
Board of Local Improvements COntem.
plates Three Improvements
for Hill District.
RESIDENTS FOR BETTERMENTS
Authorities, 1t Is Said, Have Tested
Sentiment of Property Owners
and Find Approval.

Three new paving projects for the
hill district are contemplated by the
board of local improvements accord
ing to an announcement today made by
Mayor McConochie. They are:
Seventeenth avenue, between Twen-
ty-fifth and Thirtieth streets.
Thirteenth avenue, between Twenty
fifth and Thirtieth streets.
Tenth avenue from Thirtieth street
to approximately Thirty-fourth street.
Residents in the section where the
improvements are proposed are anx-
ious to secure the betterments, the
mayor said, declaring that the board
had tested the sentiment of the prop
erty owners. While none of the pro-
posed projects has been definitely de-
cided upon, city authorities are consid-
ering the advisability of calling public
hearings.
On Thirteenth avenue, just west of
Twenty-ninth street, at one time there
was ravine. 1t was bridged. The
bridge was taken out and the ravine
filled when the Long View street car
tracks we're laid on the avenue.
Would Omit Concrete.
1t has been necessary from time to
time to fill in at this point, as the dirt
and rocks placed in the hollow have
settled. Should the paving of Thir-
teenth avenue be decided upon, con-
crete foundation would be omitted for
a distance of $50 feet, where the hol-
low was formerly located This would
permit the fill to sink and at such times
as necessary the bricks could be TAX
en- up, more stones and rocks thrown
in and the street could be kept level at
all times. Otherwise, if a concrete
foundation were placed over this
stretch Of the avenue filling in sunken
holes due to settling would be more
difficult.
City officials are preparing to take
into court the South Heights sewer
project for confirmation of assessment
roll. An ordinance providing for the
Improvement was passed by the Eunic
ipal commission Sept. 4.
