RENO, Nev.. UP) — A large Ha
waiian delegation, bidding for

a noncontiguous territory. He

are dominated by the Longshore
men’s Union and a foreign cul
ture.

9 .Seattle Homes Threatened by
6®-Foot-Deep Hole in Boulevard
By ELMER VOGEL
SEATTLE, UD — Seventy-five
persons were evacuated Thursday
as a gaping hole 60 feet deep en
gulfed a north end boulevard and
threatened to gulp down nine
homes and an apartment hoose.
The ugly black crater, the stubby
ends of broken water, gas and
sewer pipes jutting from its sides,
was 150 feet long and 75 feet
wide.
The hole, caused by a break in
a trunk sewer 145 feet under Ra
venna Boulevard, nearly doubled
in size during the space of a
few minutes. Residents of the
area watched as the edge crum
bled away at the rate of about
a foot a minute.
The dirt was being sucked out
thru the bottom of the hole into
the sewer.
The debris partially blocked
the trunk sewer, backing up
water and sewage in laterals and
storm sewers feeding into it from
a large area of Seattle’s north
end.
Heavy rains totaling nearly two
inches since the break multiplied
the danger and the mushrooming
effects of the back-up which has
caused trouble as far as two miles
away.

where ordinary trucks can’t go!
With the extra traction of its 4-wheel drive the rugged
all-purpose ‘Jeep’ Truck “takes off” where other trucks leave
off. It carries a payload of more than a ton through mud,
sand, snow or soft earth —goes where other trucks can’t
go. It travels at highway speeds in conventional 2-wheel
drive. Equipped with power take-off, it supplies mobile
power for many types of machinery used in industry or
on the farm. It’s time-tested and performance-proved...
it’s America’s lowest priced 4-Wheel-Drive Truck.

of this hole ceased to exist. The
attractive parkway and tree
lined center strip ended in the
muddy hole whose edges have
curled toward the threatened
homes and taken in even side
walks and retaining walls.
Workmen just managed to save
tons of steel beams and a $25,000
crane sent to the scene the day
before. The steel beams were to
have been used to shore tip the
sides of the hole.
Several of the beams sunk into
place were twisted like copper
wire when the rapid crumbling of
the sides of the hole restarted.
A member of the city engineer
staff said 8,000 cubic yards of
dirt had been sucked away.
The danger to police and work
men was increased by a broken
gas main which sent up shim
mering clouds of gas.
The hole was in a neighbor
hood of homes in the $15,000 to
$20,000 class a fe\y. blocks north
of the University of Washington.
Backed up water gushed from
storm sewers in the area served
by the broken trunk sewer.
In the University Village Shop
ping Center, a multimillion dollar
development, a few blocks from
the crater, water spouted three
and four feet into the air from
storm sewers.
City officials said the trunk
sewer coujd have broken years
ago, with the underground hole
gradually growing until the great
mass above collapsed.
