INJURY TO MAN
BURIED ALIVE
PROVES SLIGHT

John Murray escaped his tenn
porary entombment in the new
sewer line Thursday with slight
injuries.
The Negro was rescued from the
heap of earth by his fellow work
ers late Thursday afternoon. He
vas engaged in timbering the ditch
near where the line crosses the
San Diego and Arizona tracks,
when one bank began to she'll off.
In attempting to leave the ditch,
he tried to climb the jacks used
to hold the timberS in place, ac-
cordins to Phillip w. Knights. city
engineer. One of the jacks was
loose. 1t slipped knights said, and
pulled a plank over the Negro
The presence of the plank, the
engineer said. was fortunate for
the Negro as it created air space
sufficient to permit him to breathe
The resuscitator was rushed to the
scene by the Ell Centro fire de-
partment and the operators were
ready to use it if necessary.
Murray is a laborer supplied to
the sewer job from relief rolls and
never had done any timbering be-
fore. The task is said to be a
hazardous one. It is impossible TO
get trained sewer workers, he said,
because of the Public Works ad-
ministration rule that 80 per cent
relief roll laborers must be used.
Several weeks ago a water main
was installed just west of the sew
er line The loose dirt around the
water main, Knights said, undoubt-
edly was one of the main reasons
for the accident.
