TRANSFER MAQUOKETA CCC CAMP TODAY

Company 772 Establishes Temporary Camp at Cascade
The Maquoketa CCC camp was moved today to temporary barracks at Cascade where 
work will be carried on during the summer months. It is expected that the camp 
members will return here in the early fall to complete soil erosion projects 
which were started some time ago.

The community has been assured by Governor Herring that the camp will be 
retuned in the fall to complete local projects during the fall and winter 
months.

The original order from CCC authorities to move the Maquoketa camp from this 
city permanently, brought forth bitter protest and following conference of 
local committees at Des Moines, Ames and Washington, the ruling was amended. 
The men will be housed in tents at the Cascade camp, according to Lt. E. I. 
Woodbury, commanding officer.
