City Supt. Scheffel Reports
After Study of Conditions
Near California Camps
New army cantonmenti in
California have necessitated an
increase of about 33 per cent in
the personnel of the countiei in
which they are situated, nearby
cities and the state traffic de
partment, Fred W. Scheffel, city
superintendent, said In a written
report to the council last night.
Mr. Scheffel, Paul Rynning,
county engineer, and Elmer C.
Biegel, city superintendent of
Ashland, made a five-day study
last week of municipal condi
tions created by the erection of
Camps Ord, Roberts and San
Luis Obispo in California.
Population Jumps
The population of the city of
San Lui Obispo was Increased
from about 12,000 to 18,000, the
population of Paso Robles, near
Camp Roberts, was increased
more than four-fold, from 2,900
to 10,500 and Salinas, near Camp
Ord, jumped 25 per cent, from
12,000 to 15,000, Mr. Scheffel
reported. The population of
Monterey, also near Camp Ord,
Increased from-12,000 to 13,000,
the report showed.
Transportation facilities in all
cases were inadequate to start
with and many busses have had
to be put into operation to help
solve the problem, the report
niH In Kint instances high
ways also were inadequate for
the increased traffic ana eiions
- are now being made to correct
this condition, in the case of San
Luis Obispo a four-lane highway
being insufficient, according to
Mr. cheffel's report.
Soma Places Profit
Places doing an exceptionally
large volume of business were
listed by Mr. Scheffel as the
movies and other places of
amusement, restaurants and
beer parlors. The mayors of all
cities have been flooded with re
quests for penny arcades and
fnvl Hnnce halls but all have
been rejected as such places
"are consiaerea very undesir
able," the report stated.
At Salinas the city has
acquired a large building for a
recreation center and the mer
chants have equipped it with
pool and ping pong tables and

other play equipment, the report
said, relating that the other
cities and individual citizens
had acted similarly in providing
recreational facilities. In addi
tion, Mr. Scheffel reported, all
four cities have applied' to the
United Service Organization to
erect a recreational center build
ing. Building Increases "
Normal residential building
has been progressing in all the
cities, the report indicated. The
towns near Camp Ord have ob-
sorbed all the necessary in
creased housing while at Paso
Robles the army is constructing
61 residences at an estimated
cost of $150,000, according to
the report. Pending housing
construction, many army offi
cers are living in trailers, the
report said. At San Luis Obispo
a large housing program is
under way with private capital
and numerous sub-divisions are
being developed, the report
pointing out that California law
requires sub-dividers to provide
all improvements such as sew
ers, water, paving, and side
walks, with taxes to be paid a
year in advance.
Prior to camp construction
there was a large influx of trail
ers at all the towns and control
measures became Immediately
pressing and although steps
were taken Mr. Scheffel's report
indicated that because there was
no advanced planning the prob
lem is not yet fully solved.
Hug Payrolls
The monthly payroll at each
camp Mr. Scheffel gave as about
$800,000. Approximately 500
civilians are employed at each
camp, they being mainly clerks,
stenographers and laundry
workers, he reported.
Because of the California law
i sub-divisions, there have
been few requests for additional
