Filling Cunse of Cavo-in. . 1 '
:' The cave-In of a Standard Oil com
pany wagon yesterday morning, at
Fourth and Alder streets was due to
improper filling around a retaining wall
for the now building on the" northwest
comer of those streets. This is the
opinion of City Engineer Morris, who
made an infpectlon of the affair. Tha
contractor building tha wall filled in
back of iV but the dirt was not packed '
sufficient t withstand a heavy load.
This condition frequently occurs, states
the city engineer, and in many eases the -contractor
is not at fault. Many times,
the dirt will settle where it has been
packed as tightly aa can, be dona. The
only remedy is to make the second
packing.- i f
