Road construction through. the
treacherous sink-hole on Plank road
is progressing though slowly. Fore
man John Gaggin states that the pit
now holds 5000 yards of dirt, 2 tons
of hay, 27 yards of stone, and Fl large
trees-willows and oaks-which have
been felled and rolled, tops and all,
into the Shiny abyss of mud and water.
The north bank has now risen to a
height of 9 feet above water level,
and large masses of spongy, black soil
heave, crack and slide slowly out of
sight. A row of willows about 10
feet high which grew on the south
side of the road have sunken entirely
from view. Each night the construc-
ton crew leaves the roadway built up
slightly above the muddy, watery sur
face hopeful that the obstacle has been
overcome only to find the following
morning that the entire road-bed has
been pushed to one side or the other
or that new assures and breaks have
occurred. People who have spent their
lives in proximity to this place declare
that years ago fire burned for weeks
in this slough, smoldering under
ground in the underlying peat bed,
with such intensity and persistence
that roots of large willow trees were
burned off which caused the whole row
of trees to die. Some think that this
is the cause of the cavity which so
battles the efforts of the road-bui
ers. Hundreds of people have visited
the spot during the last week, many
doubtful that a permanent road can
ever be thrown across this 80 foot
