f AGE lk HERALD AXD NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON THURSDAY. .lAM'AHY 15. 19.9 Underground Aqua Pocket Causes Portland Zoo Slide PORTLAND fAPI - Under (round water pockets are cans ing the slide of a 20-acre section f earth in Portland's new hill tide zoo, a special consultant says. But the problem, said Roland Rose, is to find the pockets and then get rid of them. Rose made the report Wednes day to the City Council as Com missioner Ormond Bean stopped work on three projects at the four-million dollar too. Engineers told Bean lhat the 20-acre tract had slipped eight inches downhill from last August until last Monday when the most severe movement snapped gas and water mains. In the last two days, though the earth has inched another half Inch down the hill, engineer? laid. Rose told the meeting of coun cilmen and engineers that the slide initially was caused by a deep cut at the bottom of the hill as the state Highway Depar ment began to build an access road from Canyon Road into the 100. Bean ordered the construction halt for "a week or 10 riays at least until a committee of en gineers and consultants can de cide the extent of the danger. Work will continue on projects not in the sliding area, but it was stopped on a hay barn, the superintendent's house and the administration building. Then Rose, a consultant to the zoo's architects, gave this report on the slide: "Soils specialists and engineers all agree the underground water, trapped in blue clay deposits will have to be found and elim mated before the slides can be stopped or prevented from spreading. "This will take some time and may mean a lot of frustrating experiences. No one can tell where the water areas are or how to eliminate them. "This whole area was in very delicate balance. Until we find some means of stabilizing this whole mass of earth, we are not going to have much success stop ping the slides." Rose said that it might he pos sible to drop shafts or dig tun nels to the water pockets. DOORS CPEN 6:30 P. M. End TONITEt ia:r.i:,n:n;n.n:i:w Starts FRIDAY!
