The report of the joint committee to re-
port suitable location for camp grounds
for the militia is as follows:
THE joint special committee appoint
ed to report at this session suitable loca-
tion for n camp ground for the Rhode
Island Militia. and the probable cost Of
procuring the same by purchase or lease,
make report that in response to public
advertisements, many real estate owners
offered pieces of land deemed to be adapt
cd for camp purposes, but of these the
committee, owing TO the prolonged ses-
sion Of the legislature. were not able to
inspect more than twelve. There are
many proposed camp sites which yet re-
main unvisited and until all have been
examined aud lowest prices ascertained
the committee does not feel justified in
Recommending the purchase OF any land
for permanent camp ground. But in
view OF the fact that a camp around must
be had for the militia, In the early part
of next month, and that considerable
mili. airy stores are stored in that vicinity.
the committee recommend as tempo
rary measure the acceptance OF an offer
made by III. A. Wilcox of Warwick who
agrees to let the State have the free use
OF over 100 acres of excellent land, siJu-
ated within few hundred feet of the
former camping ground, at Oakland
Beach, on the condition that the State
pay the damage inevitable to a small
portion of land under cultivation, which
damage Is estimated at 1925.
"The committee, after reaching this
conclusion, invited the views OF the Ad-
jutantGeneraI, the Quartermaster-Gen
eral, and the General commanding The
brigade as to this land. who, after per-
eonal inspection, expressed themselves as
satisfied that this land offers all aud
many more advantages than those of the
former camp location.
''The committee therefore recommend
the passage of resolution authorizing
them to secure this land for the present
year, on the terms stated and ask for an
extension Of time in which TO visit and ex-
anime the various other sites cffered."
