Park officials report May 15 as the start date for CCC camp work in the Chieve mountains park. A 15 day extension was requested to lay a pipeline from a nearby well to the camp site and prepare buildings for the first unit of boys.

A second company may be sent in June, with 60 FERA workers and county road crews building access. The camp location is considered assured, with the first company arriving from Lampasas and operations near Kokernot park.
