Description
Plaintiff was the owner of a Bucyfus-Erie shovel, which he lent to one Vic Newman with the understanding that Newman would allow plaintiff the use of Newmans shovel when it was repaired. Newman had a contract with the defendant to shovel and load gravel from its pit for which he was to be paid ten cents per yard of delivered material. Defendant exercised no control over Newman but was engaged with its own men and equipment in blasting and preparing the material in the same area. Under plaintiffs evidence, defendant allowed Newman and its own men to shovel gravel until the face of the pit became 60 to 100 feet in height, which height, according to plaintiffs expert, is known to men in the industry to be hazardous, especially considering the propensities of a loose aggregate such as gravel. Plaintiffs expert testified that one must always anticipate a breakage in the face and if the face is high there is a considerable depth over which breakage might occur.
