will not toon be forgotten last week a 22 ton earthmovei and two d7 caterpillar bulldozers mov ed into the area and within a matter of hours the machines had caned a huge chunk out of the rough and nigged terrain the wiggins and bailey con struction co of brampton has the contract to remove 26000 cu yards of earth from the crown of the elevation and de posit the fill in the ravine below the firm expects to complete this portion of the project by the end of september according to the company foreman mr john waudby the initial stage of the con struction program was started last year by the

common occurrence for mr beach to be aroused during the early hours of the morning by some maro oned motorist he has even opened his home as an over night lodging place he noted that as traffic on the second con cession increased over the years so the problems mounted it will cost quite a bit of money to fix the road but it will be a job well done he concluded perhaps this winter ill get a little

weight of their machines or the sand fill was more than the groundlevel could support the whole area might sink out of sight he pointed out that if such a thing did occur the only solution would be to dump con- tinous loads of fill into the bog until a firm base was formed one earthmover carries is tons of sand each bulldozer weighs over 15 tons if the 26000 cubic yards can be handled without
