1T seems almost supernatural that
there could be such a change within
"a hours in the highways between
Belfast and Portland as we found
Saturday and Sunday" said City
Clerk Frank Petrich, who with Mrs.
Petrich made the trip to and from
the latter city during the weekend.
81 can only describe the bog holes,
as being like young volcanoes he
said. with yellow mud oozing out
and in some places a whit foam.
Cars would drop in out Of sight and
the macadam wave under them like
sea, as if it were India rubber.
Why, in one place coming back Sun
day between Brunswick and Rock
land there was a hole in which two
cords of wood and II truck loads of
rock and gravel had been dumped
and it had simply been swallowed
by the mire. In another place where
some two dozen cars were held up
we all worked and threw into the bog
a stone wall. | was the first to drive
over it and managed to do so, it was
nearly block long, and l looked
back to see how the next car made
It. It dropped out of sight. l should
say that so trucks could work a week
between Rockland and Portland be-
fore the damage will be repaired.
Between Belfast and Camden We
were towed out by horse power three
times and once by passing car.
Later we towed that car out of the
rnire. And the queer part of it is,
mat on Saturday when we drove to
Portland, leaving here at 1 p. m. and
arriving at $40 we found the roads
quite as good as they were last fall.
1t does not seem possible that such
a change could occur inside of "a
hours. One thing. however, is GER
lain, when the present damage Is
repaired, there will be no more dang
er Of frost this season for it is all
coming out at once. Even the ma
eadam was like piecrust which when
struck by car, crumbled under 1t.
This was only in spots, of course,
after which one would strike 25 miles
or more Of good going. have never
encountered anything like it in all
