Bids for $4,883, 900 construction
expansion at Camp Ell Centre, Ma
rine Air Station will be considered
Tuesday and it is expected con-
struction of this big project will
get under way at once, Tom Finney,
manager of the United States En-
ployment service announced Friday.
Plans are ready, he says to start
800 men on the job. This number
includes skilled and unskilled
workers.
Under the government program
the expansion will provide addi-
tional runways, aircraft parking
space, officers quarters, barracks,
mess halls and many buildings
needed in operations.
Finney believes the contractor will
be able TO find $50 men in the val
ley but that it will be necessary
to recruit between 500 and 525 from
Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and
Texas. They will be recruited by
union men from those areas due to
the critical shortage of manpower
in the San Diego and Los Angeles
districts, Finney added.
Men needed are carpenters, ma
sons, plumbers, electricians, equip
ment operators and laborers of va
riouS types.
