More Warehouses
at Middletown, Is
Washington Rumor

Washington, Jan. 10.-Ordnance
department officials are discussing
the advisability of adding to the
warehouse capacity of the ordance
depot near Middletown, Dauphin
county, Pennsylvania. 1t is possible
that within the next few weeks
plans will be approved for the erec-
ton OF three or four more ware
houses at that place. Additional
ground will be necessary for the de-
velopment. The depot is now able
to house great accumulation Of
material that but for the Cessation
of the war would be now on its wav
to France. IT was planned on a
much larger scale but for some nm
known reason work was stopped af-
ter only two warehouses were
built.
The foregoing report from Wash
ington is in accord with a rumor
that has been afioat here for some
weeks, ever since Captain Douglass
was sent here from Delaware City
to make survey of the Middletown
plot. 1t was said at that time that
several warehouses designed for
France, the material for which is on
hand. would be sent TO Middletown
TO add to the unit there. The new
warehouses, which may be erected
in the spring, will be of permanent
construction.
