  • And the walls came tumbling down. A gaping hole was left in this east-end house early today when a supporting wall below a garage collapsed and took part of the garage with it; waking residents of Tennis Crescent at 4 a.m. and leaving a car perched on the edge of a cliff. A Crew of workmen had been trying to reinforce the wall.
