q,ruvttpr wc-k on che Set OF barracks
for battalion in the cauro2meEt will
Rave been completed T.? the end Of

ter will for the present and until bar
racks for the I'd battalion are finished
: be doubled uD and will later expand
itself when Major Williams command
moves across the rayine. This scheme
Of a double move for the I'd battalion
is made necessary by the fact that

her for construction has been eniOined
aId the flooring now in use in the
tents of the battalion will be knocked
apart and used as flooring in the later
construction work IN the addition to
the post It would seem to be the
last crv in economy when quarters
are to he partially built Of lumber
, that has been in use for above a
year and that as flooring in a camp

are needed On the stretch of main
county road that passes through the

sisted mainly of dumping some loose
earth and stones in the worst of the
chuck holes" and trusting to the pass
| ing vehicles to distribute the material.
