Governor Bickett authorized the statement last evening that
he had tendered to the United States navy department the use of Camp Glenn,
Morehead City, for the establishment of a naval seaplane patrol station and
training camp, and says that just as soon as some minor local adjustments are
made as to environments, the order designating this new federal enterprise for
North Carolina will issue, and probably $2 million will be expended in
equipping the station and training camp.
It developed that government representatives have been
looking into the availability of this location for the station some time, and
specially detailed officers inspected the camp in company with Adjutant General
Young of the North Carolina National guard, only a few days ago. The officials
were enthusiastic of the adaptability of the camp for the government purposes.
When established there will be maintained at this station
airplanes for patrolling the coast possibly as far south as Charleston in
protection against submarines.
