Approve Measures At
Kitzmiller Mine

Safeguard for personnel and prop
crty adopted recently at the McNtt
Coal Company's 350-ton-a-day Hamill
mine are endorsed and further pre-
cautionary measures suggested in a
reinspected report issued today by
the Bureau Of Mines At Kitzmiller,
the mine employed 70 men when re-
examined in February by Inspector
Joseph Marshalck
In summarizing recent safety
gains, Inspector Marshalek uom-
mended the prying down or effective
timbering Of loose roof along the 10
left haulage road and at two specified
working sections. the exclusive use Of
permissible explosives and electric
decorators fired with permissible
blasting units, recording Of the daily
ventilating fan inspections. coursing
of sufficient air to two working faces
to carry off blasting fumes, several
precautions against electrical haz-
ards, suitable fire extinguishers for
the permanent underground substa-
ton, and fire examinations after
every on-shift blasting operation.
Among the principal operating i'm
provements suggested by Marshalek
were maintenance of unobstructed
clearance along two haulage roads,
use Of enclosed trip lights and at
tachment of drags to ascending trips,
improved guarding Of the trolley
wire, frame-grounds and overload
protection for certain electrical equip
ment and several other electrical
safeguards, and removal or adequate
support of remaining loose haulage-
day roof
Other suggestions for promoting
safety in the mine embraced i'm
proved surface and underground stor-
age of blasting materials, use Of in
combustible stemming and short-cil-
cutting Of shot-firing cables at bat.
terry ends, installation of solid. fire
proof stoppings between the main in
take and return anways and pre-
shift mine examinations, effective fire
protection underground, 100 percent
wearing Of safety-toe shoes, use Of
goggles by employees performing
eye-hazardous work, and bans on us
ing open-hame lights and smoking in
the mine.

for College Avenue Grade
Crossing
Council Disagrees with Conten-
tion that Crossing is Un-
necessary

Bluffton municipal counciImen
Monday night rejected a Nickel
Plate railroad proposal that College
avenue be closed at Railroad street,
to eliminate the crossing over their
tracks which has been the basis of
controversy for more than a dec
ade with respect to the erection of
warning lights.
Division officers of the railroad,
in check of traffic over the cross
ing last week, said they believed
there was so little vehicular and
pedestrian traffic that closing of
the street was the logical answer to
the situation.
AS an alternative proposal, they
again referred to proposition made
to the town last year, suggesting
that the village and the railroad
split on O $3.50 basis the cost OF
erecting crossing flasher lights, esti-
mated at more than $4,000. At that
time, council turned down the pro.
posal because of lack of municipal
funds to cooperate.
In refusing to consider closing of
College avenue to eliminate thu
crossing, councilmen pointed to heavy
traffic to points in the immediate
vicinity of the roalroad, as we'll al
tuse of the crossing by residents who
live in the southeast part of town.
Two industrial operations ada
cent to the roalroad are those of the
Bluffton Cement Block Co. and the
Bluffton stockyards. In addition, the
Allen County Farm Bureau oper,
ates bulk station just beyond the
tracks.
The railroads proposals of last
week followed a conference with road
officials in which the village admin
istration disclosed that imposing OF
speed limit on trains is being con.
sidered because of widespread dis,
satisfaction of citizens with regard
to the crossing hazard.
Town officials said this week that
a conference with railroad officials
is being scheduled for early Janu.
ary, to attempt to reach solution
to the crossing problem.
