DESPONDENCY CAUSES DEATH

The slides which occurred yesterdaydestroyed something more than,700

feet of ••the itunnel. Every precautionhas .been taken by the contractors' toprevent further damage.

At Monday's- session of the councilthe city fathers willbe asked to payfor the rebuilding of the tunnel in theplaces where as a result of the stormit has caved in. According to the bestdata obtainable It,, will cost 'In theneighborhood of' $10,000 'to redig thetunnel where the slides have blockedit up.

• .

According to their statement thereare at the present time about 4000 feetof the tunnel completed, but the brick

has not come, so work along that linehas been Impossible. The contractors

feel that they have cnrrled out theirpart of the contract and that the dam-age done by the Btorm was made pos-sible .by the city not \u25a0 furnishing the

brick with which the tunnel, might be

completed.

< Stansbury & Powell, who have thecontract: for. the work on the sewertunnel, say that If brick had been de-livered by, the various companies towhich contracts for furnishing it wer°awarded, the tunnel would have beencompletely walled as the work pro-gresed and thus a cave In. would beimpossible.

Several sections, aggregating about700 feet of the tunnel of the new out-fall sewer, for which the citizens ofLos Angeles are awaiting so anxiously,caved -in yesterday as a result of thedelay in the delivery of brick and therecent, storm.... The v. approximate costfor repairing the damage. willbe $10,000.
