Short-lived 'cobbles'

Two areas of the cobbled concrete laid around the Cathedral in the Square have been torn up and replaced after the City Council refused to accept the work as satisfactory. The two areas, each about 10ft by 12ft, one outside the front of the Cathedral, and the other on the north side, had a poor finish, poor levels, and the indentations set out wrongly and too shallowly, said the city architect (Mr G. IS. R. Fenton). I They were condemned bejfore the Games, said Mr Fenton. All the other areas were i satisfactory.

Expensive sausages A guard at the Moscow Meat Factory No. 4 noticed that sausages were flying out of a window of the boilerroom. After 25 sausages had hit the gorund, one by one, the guard saw a man come out and begin to pick then up. He grabbed the man, later dentfied as factory employee, Alexander Moseyev, who, the newspaper, “Sotsialisticheskaya Industrya,” reports, was sent to prison for two years and a half for theft from the State. —Moscow, February 8.
