louise GROUNDS, on the property OF
Jason Buck. The cave in was about
so feet long, cutting into the land
about six or seven feet or more. Diff
ferent articles that were lying on the
ground when the break occurred, were
scattered along the shore on Cham
payne island, having the appearance
wrote Immediately to the lighthouse
authorities al New York for permits
sion to use their ground when he
moves some cottages near the break.
There is a theory prevalent that there
Is a subterranean stream In the vicin-
ity, which, flowing into the inlet,
takes sand with it, weakening the land
on top and thus causing a break TO oc-
cur. The engineer says that the only
thing to stop this is mattresses made
of brush in connection with %jetties,
about three feet deep, which keeps the
water from washing the sand out and
keeps the sand In on the other side.
For some time the borough has been
clearing brush land and burning 1t,
which could be used to advantage if it
were placed all along the inlet and in
all likelihood prevent other breaks from
occurring.
