The death roll as the result of the collapse of reinforced concrete buildings under construction on the Continent has been increased by a disaster at Saumur, where several workmen were killed and a number injured. About a score of men were engaged in removing the internal scaffolding supporting the roof moulds, when the entire building, which has been designed to store machine guns, collapsed like a house of cards. Seven bodies were extricated from the ruins. Another man died in hospital. It is believed that six others are buried in the ruins.
