Show Lack Of Material DelaysNewCamp But for the fact that only four of some 1G cars of lumber have arrived and gables for the buildings build-ings being among the cars yet to come Milfords latest "subdivision" "subdivi-sion" on the southwest bench would more nearly have assumed by now the small city-like proportions propor-tions which are to characterize this latest of Uncle Sam's CCC camps. The one here at Milford is being erected on a semi-permanent basis for the carrying out of projects to be undertaken by the new grazing division of the department de-partment of the interior, the work of which is entirely new and may extend over 'a long period of time. The huge combined mess hall and kitchen building and that which is to be the headquarters building are now erected to that point where the roofs could be added and the buildings virtually completed if the gable sections were here. About all of the material for the buildings is coming in ready cut panel form, including walls, floors and all. Even the mess tables ta-bles come cut to fit and need only to be assembled according to very simple directions. Wall and floor panels are double thickness, with heavy composition sheets between, giving the buildings very effective insulation" from both heat and cold both of which factors call for vital consideration with the important year-'round activities to be undertaken by this camp. While the local camp will of necessity bear some resemblance to similar barracks camps, Captain Cap-tain Gilbert S. Knapp and the others associated with him in the setting up of this camp, are utilizing uti-lizing every possible opportunity to make the camp a creditable-appearing one. Sam Shields, who, as an outstanding CCC enrollee who has had much to do with the the construction of the Wah Wah springs, Beaver canyon, Pine valley val-ley and Dixie camps, is in line to receive remuneration more in keeping with the ability he has shown and his needs as a family man. He has been given an honorable hon-orable release from the CCC and, In lieu thereof, has been given- the (Continued on last page.)

Due to the fact that materials uie extremely slow . in arriving, employment of local carpenters ar.d others at the camp has been a matter of much uncertainty though a force of 20 men was employed em-ployed Wednesday. The shipping of the materials in ready-cut and assembled form, however, is cutting cut-ting in heavily on the number of local men and length of time to be employed. L. C. Koch, a gTaduate of the Colorado School of Mines, who is lnrfll snnerntendent for the divi sion of grazing, and H. W. Christopherson, division engineer, are expecting soon to have their hands full checking and surveying the various projects which are to be submitted by the advisory boards of the district 3 cattle and sheepmens associations, set up under un-der other provisions of the Taylor grazing act. |
