Cement Bucket Falls, Boom Collapses: This was the scene yesterday afternoon on S. Fourth Ave. near E. William St., the site of a carport project, after a crane bucket loaded with a half-yard of wet cement broke loose and struck a worker, William Graham, 27, of Detroit. Kenneth Gass, 42, of Taylor, foreman on the job, saw the bucket speeding toward a half-dozen workers on the top level of the port and shouted a warning while the crane operator, Edward Thompson, 37, of Pontiac, swung the bucket away from the workers. The boom came to rest on a construction trailer. All escaped except Graham, who is reported in "satisfactory" condition at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital today. The brakes controlling the bucket failed.

A new conveyor system, used for the first time in the Ann Arbor area, speeds concrete along its units for the footings of the 26-story apartment building now under construction at Maynard and William. The new system is twice as fast as the conventional method, according to Roy E. Shultz, superintendent for R. E. Dailey & Co., general contractors for the building. The system can pour 100 to 140 cubic yards of concrete per hour, he said.
