Health service offered at Camp Gordon site for hospital use

Washington July 28. Camp Gordon may be retained not as a military camp but as the location for a government hospital. The War Department offers the Gordon site for a hospital under the Public Health Service using part of an $18 million hospital appropriation. A committee of government physicians favor the camp as a hospital site and an interview with Dr. White will decide whether the Public Health Service will urge retention.

Atlanta Water Mains Denied Payment for Camp Gordon

The War Department claims board in Washington denies Atlanta’s demand for $190,000 to cover laying mains to Camp Gordon, noting the government has no obligation to finance the work.

Mains to the camp were laid in 1917, extending 6.5 miles from Buckhead with duplicate lines to Buckhead to serve the camp. The city emphasizes the government’s request and the negligible profit from the water supplied.
