The second Knights of Columbus building, which will be erected at Camp Greene within a few weeks, will be of the portable type, such as is used In army service overseas, it was learned yesterday. This new building will cost $6,000, and was authorized a few days ago. It probably will be some larger than the one already serving the troops at this camp. Possible locations for this building were lnf spected yesterday by Secretary Calvin, or the Knights or uoiumous Dunaing, and Major Qreene, constructing quartermaster, but a selection was not made. Four n?w Knights of Colum 'bus secretaries will be ordered here. .Secretary Galvin will be in general charge of bothj buildings.
