Rocks Found at Morningside School Site What happens when excava tion for a new building digs up a pile of gigantic -boulders where it was thought there was only dirt? This problem is now faced by Salem District school board at the site of the new Morningside grade school in' South Salem. Many of the boulders have been measured at 12-feet thick. The nine-classroom school is to be located at 12th Street and Strong Road on the crest of the South 12th Street hill. Architect for the structure is William I. Williams. Currently on the job is Salem Sand and Gravel Company which has been contracted to do the excavation preparatory to con struction. Officials of the com pany report that the boulders may actually prove beneficial in that they may be used to aid in filling a low section on one side of the site which is slated to be a parking lot. Many other tons of the rock are being hauled to a Candalarla school site for fill purposes. The Salem school board was informed this week by the gravel company that an early bid of 32,954 for grading of 50-feet of right of way on the Morningside site, made at the beginning of excavation, would still stand de spite the boulders. "Actually, well be able to use a lot of them in the operation,' they report Delay in progress of the con struction because of the boulders was at first believed to be at least two weeks, but it is now thought that there will be little, if any, delay. The school is sched uled to be completed Aug. 26 and to open for use in September. School officials report that sim ilar problems of unexpected boulders nave been uncovered at the South Salem High School, but not quite as bad as at Morn ingside."
