Corps Of Engineers Of
y. S. Army Announces
Change Of Target Site
To Unused Area.

The Corps of Engineers of the
United States Army has announced
the relocation of a practice bomb
ing target to be used by Navy
planes near the mouth of the Mis-
pilliOn River. This change moves
the target site from a popular fish
ing ground to an unused spot, fol-
lowing a request by DR.. l.. Eugene
Cronin, Marine Biologist at the
University of Delaware, in behalf
of various fishing interests con-
cerned.
The new location lies in about
seven feet of water on the area
known as Conch Bar, midway be-
tween the jetty at the entrance of
MispilliOn River and Big Stone
Beach, and away from fishing,
boating, and bathing areas. Ad-
vance notice will be given of each
target practice. The area will be
patrOlled by Navy aircraft, and
the target will be removed on dis
continuance of its use. A circular
safety zone one mile in radius
from the target will be closed to
boating during firing. No explo-
sive bombs will be dropped, since
target practice requires only small
smoke bombs. The target will be
used only in daylight and only in
good weather.
