by John Madewell  A gas leak this morning forced the evacuation of a downtown daycare.   A contractor working on the new apartments off Riverfront Parkway hit a gas line with a backhoe.More than 30 kids were evacuated from Little Miss Mag Daycare.They walked about a block and a half to Unum where a room was provided for the kids to stay. They sang songs, read books and were entertained by a Chattanooga police officer.    4-year-old Lillie Fowler told NewsChannel 9 all about it.  And someone told us a story. The cute little girl added it was a good story.Chattanooga Gas was able to fix the gas line in about an hour. Fireifghters monitored in the area and it never reached a level of any concern.
