Many people think that fires of this Type Are just freaks of nature and Don t happen often. But. That is false. If anything damage from lightning is increasing. Literally hundreds of tragedies Are caused yearly in the United states and lightning. In the is a lightning. Protection Institute. Recently i read a study it had made of 500 reported lightning bolts which caused death or property damage. J every one of the. Deaths investigated occurred while j the people were outdoors. Five died in the Yards of their j Homes is while hiking 18 in open Fields and seven on Golf courses. Fourteen hit by lightning while fishing 13 while camping and four died while they were swimming. When lightning hits a tree that is not necessarily the end of its destructive route. One Bolt which struck a tree in a new Jersey cow pasture killed seven cows including one animal 100 Yards from the tree. Lightning tends to be drawn to buildings hilltops and Trees because of their height. And lightning can strike twice the Empire state building has been hit 49 times in one three year period. More about lightning one expert on the subject asked if i recalled the Days when lightning Rod salesmen used to tour the country. Sorry i Don to but perhaps if such salesmen were still Active today they could do a big business. Lightning rods can offer Protection for Homes although i Don t believe Many new Homes in Winnipeg have such Protection. They be had lightning rods on the Washington Monument since 1885, and the Rochet launching platforms at Cape Kennedy also use them.

Government. The firm claimed it had been induced to tender for a Road building contract on the basis of representations that Sand and gravel in specified locations would be reserved for the Job and available to the contractor. Refusing the Appeal on behalf of the court or. Justice Samuel Freedman said that it was commonly known that for Sand and gravel taken from lands under the control of the depart ment of Public works the Purchase Price would be 15 cents a. Cubic Yard. The government s servants had been in error in thinking that the materials in question were reserved for that particular construction Job. Knowing that there was risk of error in state ments made by government servants in these matters and that a proper Check could be made to determine their acc the company did not Check. So. A arriving at. Its tender for Tho Job the company had proceeded on the Assumption that the Sand and gravel would be available at 15 cents a cubic Yard.

Justice Freedman said the Appeal court agreed that the observations made by the defendant s servants including the availability of the gravel pits did not qualify As a warranty in the Legal sense and the Appeal was therefore dismissed. But on the subject of costs he said this was the second Case to come before the Appeal court recently in which claims against the provincial government bad Arisen by reason of representations made by the department of Public works. We cannot Overlook the fact that the. Careless utterances of the defendant s representatives contributed to the difficulties at its origin. Then when the contract was the defendant s officers deliberately encouraged the plaintiff to carry on with the contract in the expectation that its claim for additional monies would ultimately be in deciding the government would get do allowance of costs from the Appeal court or the court of Queen s Bench action or.
