Ho le in Road Attracts Many Spectators These curiaus observers were among the many who examined the large hait located north of the Sixth Concession on Manvers Road during the past week. The hale, hidden by the mound of dirt, resulted when a quicksand deposit reacted by swallowing tons of dirt being used ta level the road. The mound of dirt the observers are standing an is the bank of the road, which was almost level with the raad befare the hole develaped. -Photo by R.

Meeting A large depasit of quicksand located at an unknown depth under the Manvers Road near the Sixth Concession bas creat- ed an engineering headache for the Beaverdale Construction Company of Cobourg. The firm, originally hired ta level and straighten a stretch of the Manvers Road north of the Sixth Concession, were near completion of their work Wednesday of last week, when the road began ta sink under the weight of the heavy mach- inery. Ini a matter of a few hÉouri the surface of the road had aropped a depth of 10 feet swallowing tons of fi and a culvert. As the road settled the earth disturbances caused the banks on either side ta rise to a heigbt of almost 10 feet. Engineers believe the quick- sand deposit bas been the cause ai developments and are hop- ing there is a bottom ta the deposit and that it can be reached.
