that have been selected near Long
Branch and east Of the sheilroad 20 Ever
green Cemetery. The tents ana tent
floors are taken out first and then the
equippage follows. The heavy rain showers
which broke loose shortly after o'clock,
largely interfered with the survey and

expect 10 be as snugy located as they
were I'm the old camp. All other du-
ties will be suspended during the NOV
