SECO.ND SECTION BEDFORD GAZETTE SECOND SECTION ESTABLISHED 1805--VOL. 145, No. 6 BEDFORD, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1948 5c A COPY; $2.50 PER YEAR Wood bury Road Job Proceeding What is known as the fine grading work on the Woodbury-Waterside highway operations was completed last week from Woodbury southward to the Replogle mill, and the application of the fifst coating of stone dust was started by Hhe New Enterprise Stone company which is rebuilding tfis stretch of road for state.

However, once the foundation of stone and dust is down, the highway can bf used for traffic so that the present detours will not remain in effect the entire winter. In blasting away the hillside between Woodbury and the Replogle mill, workmen uncovered a cave, a short distance north of the Homer H. Harclerode farm buildings and noi far from the Keagy cemetery The cave depth of about 20 feet at the roadside and extended a considerable distance into the hill. Robert Harclerode, a son of the farm owner, by using a flashlight "went into the cave a distance of 30 feet a'nd could not see the end.

The cave at the highway was filled with tons, of stone, and en' tfance to the cavern was sealed. Tlie cave is rot far from Hippie's cave at Waterside which is listed as one of the state's natural wonders. Workmen with heavy machinery now are engaged in grading work from the Waterside mill southward to Waterside. In tearing down a hillside opposite the Charon S. Replogle dairy farm buildings, the workmen have run into considerable difficulty.

The hill is almost solid limestone and a large amount of blasting is required.
