Show WellBeingDrilled For Milford Camp Actual work on the new CCC camp for Milford to be located here in order to cairy out some of the range development plans of Taylor act officials, got underway under-way this (Thursday) afternoon j with the spudding in of a well to ( be used to supply the camp with water instead of connecting with the municipal water mains. The j drilling of the well is being under-j under-j taken by H. L. Hall, who has had the contracts for drilling a large number of drouth relief and Taylor Tay-lor act wells in this section and has more in prospect. His rig was I in town, preparatory to going to I the vicinity of Hinckley to drill a j well, and no time was lost getting him lined up to do the work since I speed is a prime requisite for this well if it is to be reeady when j the advance force of the new camp arrives within a few days. The site of the new camp lias been changed slightly from the j tentative location made some three ; weeks ago, and will be on the , higher and more level bench J ground above the southwest part i of town and just off the Moscow road. There will be some 20 buildings build-ings erected on the site of the new' camp together with a large-capa-i city water tank for pressure ami fire-protecton purposes. From information given out to , the Salt I-ake press, it appears that the. men who will compose this camp will bo enrollces from ; the 5th corps area, which includes i Ohio, Indiana and part of Kentucky. Ken-tucky. This is borne out by the fact that two of the reserve of- 1 ficers as.-dened to company 1!(14, O C C, located at the Desert Range Experiment station the past winter, win-ter, came here from that army corps area for training, supposedly supposed-ly for a-.suining pots in command of these new Taylor act camps, of which some 40 are being set up. Other reports have had it that the new men were to come from the second corps area, or eastern sea- ' board states. , r. |
