swimming pool, gymnasium and
other recreational facilities, as
well as many other buildings
and features there, has been
advanced- locally and presum
ably will be given consideration
by the veterans administration.
Possible other public use of the
post has been suggested.
At present, there are about
1000 enlisted personnel at the
Marine Barracks, with a total
complement of about 1200, - ; -.
Col. Brooks said today he has
not yet received direct instruc
tions with respect to disbanding
the post, and he will make an
nouncements of interest locally
as the closure details are worked
-out.
Although it is scheduled for
disbandment as a marine corps
installation, the local post is
still undergoing construction. A
contract for several additional
facilities is just being completed.
The post has facilities for 5000
men.
