CHANGES AT TT. SCREVEN.
Additional buildings to BE Erected
There shortly.

There shortly.
The Fort Screven Post, since its in
crease OF another battery, has not suf-
ficient quarters to accommodate either
all of the men or the officers, and in
consequence a requisition has been
made upon the army authorities for
new buildings.
These, when secured, will include, In
part, six additional quarters for Off
GERS, an addition to the hospital of one
ward room and a dead house, a band
barracks for the accommodation OF
the twenty-five or thirty men that viii
compose the band. and barracks for
109 men, who now have only temporary
quarters.
Also 1t is hoped to secure a house
that will contain a school room for
enlisted men, a reading room, recrea-
ton hall and space for the Y. M G.
A. that recently has been established
at the post. 1t is probable that bids
for the erection of these buildings soon
will be asked for other improvements
that will be made at the post soon will
include the spending of about $500 on
the parade grounds and the instalia-
ton of four powerful searchlights.
Capt Leroy S. Lyon. who. as lieu
tenant, was transferred from the post
some months ago has been reasisgned
to this post and will arrive, II is
thought, about Dec. 1. Capt. Lyon has
recently invented an electrical contriv.
ance for the firing of big guns. which
has met with the approval of the army
officials and which may be adopted and
used at the various posts.
