Allen's Sink Hole.

In reference to the dangerous place in the public highway, known as 'Allen's Sink Hole,' Mr. Thos Campbell gives a very wise suggestion and one which might be acted upon with good and economical results, viz--to make a deviation say ten or twelve rods to one side of the present road. It is well known that since the gravel road was built, some 25 years ago, the road has continued to sink from year to year, and the result ascribed is that the cutting of the ditches severed what held the road up, and then the hundreds of tons of stone and gravel which has since been hauled upon that portion of the highway in order to fill up the sinking road has only tended to make matters worse, there being no apparent bottom. Now if a deviation was made and no ditches cut, but simply lay the road several feet deep with cedar trees full length crossways and cover with gravel, the probabilities are that a permanent road would be the result. The idea is at least worthy of serious consideration on the part of officials.
