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.

Wednesday and got this chilling
news:
The police were looking for the
two young hitchhikers he had just
picked up.

he could tell anyone of his plight
