Show DEVELOPMENTS IN STOCKTON, CALIF. ARE BEING WATCHED Despite assurances that the army will not close its big supply depot at Ogden, Ogdenltes are watching . developments at Stockton, Stock-ton, California, where press reports re-ports indicate supply headquarters for the entire Sixth army area will be set up. Previously the army said it was considering keeping its major supply sup-ply headquarters at Ogderi, Utah. From Washington, word comes that the Stockton area is being "localized" as a distribution depot. They also report that "the design-nation design-nation of the Stockton depot for storage or distribution purposes does not change the function of the other depots in the Sixth army area." Mr. Prickett of the Utah Department De-partment of Publicity has contacted con-tacted army heads in Washington, D. C, and taken up the matter of freight rates, which were originally original-ly given as reason for transference of the depot from Ogden to Stockton, Stock-ton, and has shown where there would not be the saving that had been contemplated. With other work the department of publicity and other interested officials in Utah have been able to do, we feel that there will be no major change with the Ogden depot. |
