A putter was killed by an unexpected fall of roof at Holmside Oswald Colliery, Durham, while travelling outbye along the engine plane. The roof of this engine plane was considered good, and was only supported at parts throughout its length. It has been decided to systematically timber the engine planes at this colliery from end to end, regardless of the condition of the roofs. I heartily recommend this decision to all managements.
