Mr. Sevitz has been located at the W. Mills elevator for 11 years, and during that time has saved many people and teams from, injury and possibly death. No bad accident has ever happened there, but the danger is apparent, and as "a stitch in time saves nine," Harter moved and Flanagan seconded the motion that the matter be left to the Improvement Committee to £ee what can be done on that line and report at the earliest dale possible.
