Captain Markc-l who is in charge
of the construction work at Fort
Drown arrived home yesterday from
San Antonio where he had gone for
the purpose of hastening shipments
of material for the large amount of
improvement work being done at the

to some extent by failure of the ma-
terial to arive promptly but Captain
Market was assured that the diffi-
culties in transportation and in se-
curing labor to remove the materials
from various huge army camps which
are being torn down lupi ben elimi-

Practically all of the material be-
ing used in the Fort Brown improve-
ments is coining from big camps and j
cantonments erected during the war
and which are being torn down as j
rapidly as the government can secure
men to p« rform the labor. The gov-J
ernment has been greatly delayed in j
this work bv the labor shortage but
conditions have improved within the j
past two weeks and material is now j
being shipped out rapidly to all points

Blent projects under way.
Captain Markcl is assured that the

by scare.ty of material and the work
can now be pu bed to completion with
all possible speed.
