CAMP MILLS BEING

Government Begins Task OF
Transformation, Which Will
Cost $13,358,0O0.

The work of Transforming Camp
Mills Long Island. from n tent city
into a permanent cantonment to ac-
commodate 10000 replacement sroops
was begun yesterday. Several thousand
laborere and soldiers were at work and
every effort will he made 10 have the
greater part OF II completed before win

contains $4,000 troops, only a short dis
lance AVA. Long Island will soon have a
greater concentration OF forces than
any similar area In the country
Double tracks, amply provided with
switches. have already been laid. About
At, 000, 900 feet OF lumber of all dimen-
sions will be used. Ten large ware
houses have been completed. A retrig-
Grating plant and an immense laundry
capable Of providing for the needs OF
the entire cantonment are almost An
ished. Twelve miles of sewers and
water mains have been laid,
II will cost the Government SI2.-
35S, 900 to transform Camp Mills from a
tent city into a cantonment This in
cludes $2.45S. 900 for base hospital ac-
commodating 1000 patients which Is
being built at Mineoa. A $4,000 Y. NJ.
c. A. hut and a building for the Knights
OF Columbus will be features. There are
to be more than 500 barracks, n new
post office and a $50, 900 recreation hall.
II Is possible than many OF the new
buildings will be OF brick instead of
wood The cost figures are now being
considered. Bricks have not been used
at any OF the army cantonments up to
the present. but the long railroad haul
necessary to transport lumber to Camp
Mills, II is believed. will make brick
buildings but little more expensive. as
bricks can be obtained from local
sources.
The conversion OF Camp Mills into a
cantonment is in accordance with the
War Departments new plan of increas-
ing the number OF replacement camps.
