deeper foundation will have to be
made.
Fifteen feet below the surface on the
east side. the test revealed . strata OF
hard pan" from five to eight feet
thick. County Engineer Mueller said
today that this layer of hardpAn will
be sufficient to support the foundation
as there Is q solid layer Of gravel and
sand underneath it.
Trouble is being experienced b drill
ing the holes on the west bank. Be

been hard for the contractor to find 6
suitable place for his machinery AND

The result of the tests on the wes1
bank will really determine definitely
the condition Of the ground under

it is expensive that it is insantary. The resolve
