Strip Mine In
BrOOkfield Inspected

Safety suggestions designed to
minimize hazards at the 1000 ton-a-
day Cumberland strip mine of the
Congress Coal Company in Brook
field township, Noble county, are
outlined in a formal safety report
made public today by Dr. r. R.
Sayers, Director of the Bureau of
Mines. At the time of the recent
re-examination, the mine employed
26 men.
Although crediting this open-pit
operation with several recent safety
advances, Inspector P. S. MacLaine
proposed such further improvements
in operating conditions as fencing of
the edge of the highwall adjacent
to the public road periodic testing
of fire-fighting equipment, removal
of fine-coal accumulations in the
tipple, frame grounding of electrical
equipment, and the wearing of spec
ial protective clothing by all employ
eeS.
improvements carried out since
the preceding inspection of the mine,
said MacLaine, embraced lowering
of heavy equipment on blocking be-
fore making repairs, posting of
safety bulletins, construction of
guard rails at the. tipple ramp, and
provision of a first-aid room near
the pits.
Copies of the report are available
for inspection at the Bureau of
Mines, Department of the Interior,
Washington, D. c., and at the Bur-
eau of Mines District Office at
Pittsburgh, Pa.

The Noble county commissioners
have now full authority on the c..
A. Dye collection, displayed on the

will be up to the discretion of this
body, as to when it will be open to
the public.
Ray EIswick was in charge of ar
ranging the display, including all the

The two rooms, adjacent to the
clerk of courts office, have been re-
decorated and the display made very
attractive.
Elswick has turned the key over

State Route 146
Flooded By Rain

State route 146 between Cumber-
land and Pleasant City was the only
local highway reported inundated
by the recent heavy rains, according
to the State highway department.
Traffic to Cumberland was being
routed over to the Glenwood road.
.. S. route p between the Muzzy
crossing and Pleasant City junction
was flooded Tuesday but still pass
able, according to the different
statesmen. who visited in Caldwell,
that day.
Without any additional rain, the

was expected to reach 80 feet, not
sufficient to flood the business area.
If the streams continue to rise on
Wednesday and Thursday morning,
it will be necessary to close some of
