NEW CAMP PROBLEM
PROVISION OF HUTS. A NEW DESIGN. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. The mobilisation of the National Military Reserve and Territorial Force involves a big problem not only in the provision of uniforms and supplies but also in accommodation. The new camp problem necessitates a complete departure from the fixed hutment type. Many of the men now being called up will eventually be accommodated in weatherproof quarters. The Public Works Department has designed a special light portable hut almost as handy as a tent, enabling camps to be quickly set up in any area away from the usual camp facilities. The hut has a floor space of 14ft by 7ft. It is constructed of substantial threeply timber on frames in sections which can be folded flat for transport. Three complete huts can be carried on a motor lorry and can be unloaded, opened up and bolted together almost as quickly as tents.
