tionaIly well suited" for camping.
The Highway Department 8
competing with the State p K
Commission for, control OF the
42O acres that the US. Defense
Department plans to declare sur
plus. us. Rep. Harris B. Mcdowell
Jr., D-Del., has arranged with the
Department of Defense for n e
land to be turned over to Della
ware provided an acceptable p n
of utilization can be show.
The Park Commission s
adopted a resolution calling for
transferring the surplus property
to it's care for restoration of ma
tural values (including demolition
of buildings where advisable) and
immediate public recreational use
in accordance with a naturally
agreed management plan"
The highway engineers have
recommended that the land e
turned over to campers to replace
the Key Road site. between Dewey
Beach and Indian River Inlet,
which was used for years but was
closed last summer because Of the
devastating March storm.
The Engineers report that tn e
TT. Miles site has both natural and
man-installed facilities that make
it ideal for campers.
Among the commissions in the
report, which was also submitted
to State Planner John A. Rivens
for his approval also were: The
area lends itself to multiple-u e
recreation, the land is high above
storm levels, the ocean front
beach is wide and beautiful. tn e
Delaware Bay is close by, there
are no present limitations to the
size of the canipgrounds, no major
thoroughfare would end n r
campers or suffer traffic hazards
due to them, water and sewage
systems are available, the Beebe
Hospital is nearby and the area
has distinct advantage over 9TH
er areas considered because Of it's
location with the respect to estab-
lished communities.
The only disadvantages the en-
gineers noted were that the land
has not yet been acquired. a fish
factory is nearby and access to
fishing at Indian River is not con-
venient.
The engineers said the Ft. Miles
site can be converted for camping
at a cost of only SAC, 200, includ-
ing $4,000 for 400 campsites and
roads, $4,000 for two shower
houses, $500 for water distribu-
ton, $4,000 for four toilets with
sewer connections and about S.
, 700 for engineering, contingencies
and other related expenditures.
