HThe Home of New England Troops
Approximately 10,000 pores of land
lying within a radius of ten miles of
Charlotte and the greater part of it
within half that distance of the city,
are being translated into a canton-
ment for the accommodation of the
troops from the New England States
i and an increment of regular army 01111-
eers and aviation corps. The main
camp is located on a tract embracing
2,500 acres lying three miles west
of the city, an area of open fields and
‘wooded sections, cotton and corn plan
tattoos and apple and peach or-
chards.
A present force of workmen, num-
bering more than 2,000 men are rapid
ly shaping up this vast acreage for all
of the requirements of the camp
Streets are being laid out, hills are
being rolled into the valleys that have
been lying at their feet street car
tracks the being placed and railroad
facilities being piovided; ditches are
.being digged for the laying of sou or
age and water mains, and many miles
of telephone and telegraph lines are
being strung. it is to be a veritable
city to come from the metamorphosis
now taking place as if by magic.
Train loads of materials are arriv
in; almost hourly to provide some of
the necessary equipment going into
the work of construction. The camp
site is accessible already to the city
by means of improved highways of
macadam construction, two of which
run directly through the camp area
The street car line's terminus Is only
a mile from the site and the
railroad facilities are. within
about two miles of the cen-
ter of the camp.
