Durie Hill Lift In Capricious Mood Again
The Durie Hill lift has done it again. From October 3 till October 11 it was inactive, undergoing repairs. It stood the indignity of work sufferingly till 5 p.m. last night. But apparently it saw the crowds of workers, their coats laden with rain, pouring through the tunnel, ready for the ride up the hill, for It refused point blank to have anything to do with the task of transporting those weary workers. The workers themselves viewed the situation philosophically and trudged up the zig-zag ’mid the heavy rain with no grudge against the wayward lift.
