They had come from a manhole halfway up the block. Something was wrong there. Ed ran to the spot iioked down Into the black recesses below the level of the street. The smell of gas came billowing out of that reeking pit, and down below is half a dozen men. Some of those men lay still quite still. A couple of them were struggling feebly, against the power of the gas, but they couldn't got to their feet, let alone climb the ladder that led up through the top of the manhole. Ed Abrams took one look down into that pit and knew that It was up to him. There wasn't a moment to lose no time to waste calling emer- gas-fille- "If the average motorist would do all in his power to maintain his car in the condition it was furnished him by the manufactlrer, we would see a leveling of the accident curve which always rises at this time of the year," Mr. Ralston points out. "Automobile manufacturers for a number of years have done all in thier power to provide cars that are as safe as possible; that is why today we have safety glass, brakes, better visibility and lighting facilities; Unisteel Turret Top bodies, and other features designed to promote safety. "These features are largely wasted, however, unless they are properly looked after by the driver of the car. And the driver's mental condition, logically enough, is just as important a safety feature as the many mechanical developments introduced by car manufacturers." Mr. Ralston explains that only a very small percentage of serious accidents have been traced by police officials to mechanical failure of vehicles, whereas a larger number have been directly traceable to driver negligence, either at the time of an accident or in not keeping his car in the best possible running order. "The best brakes that automobile engineers have been able to design are of no use to a driver unless he applies those brakes in time," Mr, Ralston admonishes. "Likewise those brakes are of no use to the driver if he has allowed them to become unequal or otherwise out of adjustment or repair." Good braking facilities often are impaired by worn tires or worn brake lingings. Likewise a burned out headlamp often is the cause of a collision. A windshield wiper that worked when the car left the factory is no good if it is allowed to fall into disuse thru negligence. Car windows designed for increased visibility are no good if cluttered with stickers or mud and grease spots. A safe steering mechan- ism improperly adjusted or not prop- erly tightened becomes less safe.

He took the fellow from Ed's arms and laid him on the pavement Ed went back for more. The gas was pretty terrible down there. It had laid out the men who were working there before they had time to get out. Ed tried holding his breath, breathing as little of the poisonous fumes as possible, but he couldn't do that very long. He got a second man out, and went back for the third. The third man was pretty hard to get, for Ed was growing weaker every second. Even Officer Joe Waechter, up there In the open air, was getting weak from the gas that came up through the open manhole. Ed went back and got a fourth man, but It was Just about all he could do to make It. He handed him over to the cop, got him safely to the street above, and then Joe Waechter sort of stumbled and fell flat on his face. He landed on his head, cut a deep gash in his forehead and lay still. The Down on gas had got him.

But this time there were a lot of people gathered around the top of the manhole. Somebody else could go down and get the other men somebody who was fresh, and didn't have his lungs full of gas like Ed did. He gripped the ladder and started to climb the rest of the way to the street but somehow those legs of his wouldn't work. He was sleepy very sleepy. His fingers, grasping the rungs of the ladder felt as if they were made of lead. Gradually the fingers relaxed their grip. Ed felt himself falling-b- ack to the bottom of the pit. Then he lost consciousness. An emergency truck arrived on the scene with a clatter of gongs and a shrieking of the siren. They unloaded pulmotors to give artificial respiration to the victims. A bystander tried to get Officer Waeshter away from the manhole and was overcome himself. One man was pronounced dead. Then the fire department arrived with gas masks - extra The firemen went down Into that hole and began ('.ragging out the rest of the victims. They got Ed Abranis put a pulmotor ou him and brought him to again. When It was all over, someone said there was still a man left down there, and Ed started to go down for him. But by that time, a captain of marines appeared on the scene and ordered Ed to stay out of that hole and let the firemen with gas masks do the work.

I - that Box Elder county would furnish the necessary equipment for grading without a rental charge, with the road commission replacing any parts that needed repair after completion, of said prftject. Commissioner Adams stated that he had no understanding as to furnishing the Utah State Road Commission the crusher for handling the gravel without a rental charge, but that due to the misunderstanding between the commissioners of the State Roard Commission and the Box Elder County Commissioners that a medium of the previous price charged and the understanding of the Utah State Roard Commission that an amount of 6 cents per cubic year be charged for crushing gravel. Mr. Ad ams placed this in the form of a motion, said motion receiving no second it was withdrawn by Mr. Adams. Commissioner Joseph A. Nielsen made the motion that due to the misunderstanding, a price of 8 cents per cubic yard be charged the State Road Commission for the use of the crusher, miu icie muuon oi air. xsieisen receiving no second, was withdrawn. Whereupon Commissioner Joseph I. Dewey made the motion that a Drice of 10 cents per cubic yard be charged, whereupon Mr. Nielsen duly seconded this motion, the commission voting as follows: Commissioner Dewey, aye; Commissioner Nielsen, aye; Commissioner Adams, no.
