Original Toronto Star caption: Satisfied that Simon Wilson, the 9-year-old boy who's been missing since Jan. 29, is not in a maze of storm-sewer tunnels in Etobicoke, borough deputy engineer Gerald Taylor (right) watches workmen seal up the main entrance to the tunnels with a grating. Taylor organized the search for Simon, placing men at the entrance to tunnels to make sure the boy had not hidden during the search and then doubled back. Boys living in the area have been playing in tunnels.
