month, and the number you will lose when the six hundred and thirty-odd camps are abandoned on July 1? Mr. CAMMERER. I am going to ask Mr. Demaray to answer that question, because he has all of the facts in this book before him. Mr. SCRUGHAM. Mr. Demaray. Mr. DEMARAY. The number of camps last October assigned to the National Park Service was 77, and there were 354 assigned to our State Park Division. On April 1, 1937, the number of camps assigned to the National Park Service was 90. The number of State camps was 324. As we are the liaison bureau for the Interior Department with the Emergency Conservation Division, I will give you the number of camps assigned to the other bureaus. The Division of Grazing on October 1 last had 45 camps assigned to them, and on April 1, 1937, they had 45 camps assigned to them. The Bureau of Reclamation on October 1 had 34 camps assigned to them, and on April 1 they continued with 34 camps. The General Land Office had none on October 1 and will have two on April 1. During the last enrollment period the Interior Department had 510 camps, and on April 1 they had 495 camps. NUMBER OF CIVILIAN CONSERVATION CORPS CAMPS ASSIGNED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The Department of Agriculture had, on October 1, 1,505 camps, and on April 1 they had 1,437 camps. CAMPS ASSIGNED TO WAR AND NAVY DEPARTMENTS The War and Navy Departments together had 77 camps on October 1, and on April 1 they had 68. So, there has been a reduction of all agencies, from 2,092 to 2,000 camps. Mr. SCRUGHAM. That has already occurred? Mr. DEMARAY. Yes, sir; that has already occurred. Mr. SCRUGHAM. What number is expected to be lost as of July 1? Mr. DEMARAY. Well, no one knows, as far as I know. Mr. SCRUGHAM. You have no orders for that? Mr. DEMARAY. No, sir; not yet. REDUCTION IN CIVILIAN CONSERVATION CORPS CAMPS ON JULY 1, 1937 Mr. JOHNSON of Oklahoma. Well, it is proposed to reduce the camps to 1,456 on July 1. Of course, there are a great many Members of Congress who are opposed to that reduction, and we hope it will not be done, but I was wondering in case that is done how many you will lose. Mr. DEMARAY. It is assumed that there will be a proportionate cut between the departments. We have anticipated that there might be some cut in the number. Mr. JOHNSON of Oklahoma. Then on April 1 you lost only 15 camps. You had 510 camps, and the number is now reduced to 495. Mr. DEMARAY. That is right; yes, sir. That is for the whole Interior Department. Mr. JOHNSON of Oklahoma. Well, you fared well. Mr. JOHNSON of Oklahoma. The Soil Conservation lost 25, and they have only 450, and they will lose 112 on July 1, if the present plans go through. Mr. DEMARAY. Yes, sir; I believe that is correct. PUBLIC WORKS ADMINISTRATION FUNDS FOR IMPROVEMENTS, ROADS, AND TRAILS IN NATIONAL PARKS Mr. SCRUGHAM. Will you submit for the record a statement of the amount authorized by P. W. A. for physical improvements, and for roads and trails in the National Park area? Mr. DEMARAY. Yes; I have that data here. I might submit that right at the present time, if you wish. Amounts authorized for Public Works projects, classified for areas, for physical improvements, for roads and trails, and combined total for each area, as of Mar. 1, Amounts authorized for Public Works projects, classified for areas, for physical improvements, for roads and trails, and combined total for each area, as of Mar. 1, 1937-Continued Mr Jonsson of Oklahoma.
