Surveying kOr &C Camp
Government engineers are making
surveys on the AlmshOuse farm, two
miles from here. for the establish
ment of a CCC Camp for drainage
purposes. The survey was started
on Thursday of last week. The camp
is to be located on that portion of :
the farm which lies west OF the du- /
Pont Highway and north of the road
leading from the dupont Highway
westward. in the direction of PrOVi- !
dence Church. From adVices, 200 /,
men will compose the first contin-
gent to be sent to the camp.
The camp is ideally situated, be- >
ing accessible from the main high !
way extending throughout the state :
as well as the lateral roads. 1t is :
understood that as soon as the en- =
eampment is filled that work on the :
drainage projects in lower Delaware !
will be started. The first operation, =
it is understood, will be in the vicin- :
ity of Georgetown, the highest point !
in the county, being more than 60 =
feet above sea level. g
There are indications that the =
camp will be permanent for at least =
three years. The CCC Camp, it is
stated, will work in cooperation >
with the Sussex County officials in y
view of the fact that at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature an act was
passed providing for drainage prof. = =
ects in this county. 1t will mean =
the expenditure of many thousands 2
Of dollars on the different projects :,
In lower Delaware, which it is un- "
derstood, is to be borne by the Fed =; y
eral government. The camp is at :;
4 strategic point insofar as drainage D
Is concerned. Work from the camp
will radiate for many miles, it is /
said, covering different areas. =, ~
