HAL YARDS BROKE; FLAG
COULD NOT Be RAISED

Why the National flag was not dis
played from the spire of the State
House on Thursday in honor of Wash
ington's birthday has been explained
by John Phipps. superintendent of
public buildings.
1t is stated that an attendant, mind
full Of the holiday, went to the dome
early in the morning to raise the ban
ner, but that the halyards broke at
the pulley at the top of the pole. Eff
fort was made to overcome the re-
sultant situation but without success
because of the high winds that pre-
vailed. This can be done by means OF
long pole to thread the rope halyard
through the block or pulley. and an
other pole. with a hook at the end. TO
pull it through and downward to com
plete the circuit
The task is tedious at all odds. and
absolutely out of the question during
strong winds 1t will be done as soon
as more favorable conditions are pre-
sented.
