Show Second CCC Camp ToUtilizeMilford As Its Rail Head Another CCC camp which will i utilize Milford as its rail head is ! fast taking form at Burbank as 1 12 carloads of material composing ! a portable CCC camp heretofore located in Georgia are moved to the new site on highway 21, about 70 miles west of Milford. The new camp is another divi- sion of grazing camp and will be (known as D-G 117. It will have a. full complement of 200 men and officers but just where they will come from is not known, though j prcibably from the southern states. I The camp will be in existence for a period of from three to 10 years, it is said, providing the CCC setup set-up is maintained that length ol time; and work to be done will be similar to that being accomplishea by the Milford camp, which is also a division of grazing unit. (Dr. R. R. Shannon, local physician physi-cian and surgeon, himself an officer of-ficer in the medical reserve, has been serving the local camp for several months as corttract surgeon, sur-geon, but the coming of the new camp will no doubt mean the appointment ap-pointment of a medical officer to serve both camps. I The site chosen for the new camp is on the slight rise directly south of the wellknown homesteai of Judge E. W. Clay in western Millard county. No one who has ever been over highway 21 will, forget the stream of ice cold water crossing the road at the Clay place and it will be from springs that form the source of this stream that water for use by the camp will be pibed. A cadre of some 40 men from the Milford camp are now engaged in erecting the new camp as the material, all in knockdown knock-down form, is hauled from the cars by an outside trucking donceirn, the same one that had the contract ! for removal of the abandoned section sec-tion of track between Frisco and Newhouse. . o |
