Show LosAhfefes' Slipping Hill Gains Speed, Cracks Main LOS ANGELES. Nov. 36 (UP The Elyiian park landslide, clipping clip-ping at alarming increase of speed, smashed a 40-inch water main today, to-day, sending a cascade of water pouring down the hillside into Riverside drive. Water covered the highway ankle deep as it flowed down Arnold avenue, at the north end of the barricaded danger aone. Water department workmen were called and were struggling 1 to plug the main and halt the flow. The water broke through the surface of the slipping hill a short distance above Riverside drive, forcing out a mass of sodden muck and washed down great quantities quanti-ties of earth, sand and rock to the Riverside drive pavement. The break came as first evidence evi-dence of the effect of the in- . creased slippage of the hillside. with the great fissure at the top of the hill showing a widening of more than a foot. |
