Land Purchase Authorized for Sidney Depot Project Area
John L. Batt, project acquisition manager at Sidney Ordnance Depot, says war department approval allows buying land northwest of Sidney. The eighty one parcel area, including thirty and a quarter sections in Bunker Hill, will require moving three schoolhouses and may take about two weeks once negotiations start. Abstracts should be brought to Batt in the basement of the post office building, as landowners adjust to upcoming purchases and crop valuation agreements are prepared.
