Raising Sunkan Pavements.
The impossible can be done if only
you have some cue who will tackle
the job. The man who begins with
a will and grin to do something that
cannot be done, generally does it. The
walks at the corner near the drug
store had sunk, making it uneven,
which at first looked like to make
proper repairs it would be necessary
to tear up the walk and pave it over
again. But a crew of highway work
ers was secured, who drilled holes in
the walk and then by a device cram
med mud in the holes, thus elevating
the lew places to the desired height.

Arthur Baker who resides southeast
