Moose Lake Job May
Become ERA Project.

The new road into Moose lake from
the F'ernberg trail will become an ERA
project within the next few weeks, il
funds are available, according to Frank
Legat, ranger for the Fernberg district
who is supervising the job. This will
mean that the men now employed can
be used in any type of work that the
occasion should demand.
During the winter months a WPA
crew from Lake County has been clear
ing the right-of-way. All but about a
half mile on the south end to which
the government has not yet obtained
title has been cleared. The national
forest reservation commission must
pass on the acquisition of this land,
and this action is expected to be taken
next month.
As soon as the spring breakup is over,
grading of the road is expected to be
started. A public campsite will be con-
structed on the Moose lake end of the
road if funds are available.
