The land is all in the Coppeck bay area, compris ing some BOflO acres of ground, situated Just south of the Jap camp, and divided into 33 units. The bids will be opened in building 61, the reclamation building at the naval air station. It was expluincd that the bids will be awarded on this tract Just as on the Frog Pond-League of Nations tract. Only one unit will be awarded each individual bidder, and no one holding a reclamation lease is eligible. It was stated that the bids -J the Coppeck bay units are not expected to run as high as those on the other tracts. Experience has shown that the area is not quite as fertile and productive, and the possibility exists that there will be no water after May 15, which limits the crops which may be grown on the land, bu reau of reclamation officials said today.
