way 17, at the intersection of the
road leading to the Bethel com

Numerous rumors concerning
Navy plans for a housing project
somewhere in this area have been
in circulation hereabouts for sev
eral months but it now appears,
following surveys conducted in the
vicinity, plans for such a project
ire being developed by the Navy
officials.
It is understood from the re
port, the development will contain
housing units for men stationed at
both Harvey Point and at Eden

The i facilities "f6rltneE"denton
division have been approved while
the division for Harvey Poini 13

sidered for final approval. 1.
No official information has been
released concerning this project but

will be started at some future date
which will provide for completion
about I960 which is the target date
for commissioning of the reactivat
ed Harvey Point base.
