Linnell Work Camp

The trees have grown throughout the camp, and lawn is growing in the center of the hexagon layout of the camp. On the East side of the Linnell camp, a central disposal system carries off the camp's sewage and waste. Every camp has several sanitary buildings, ordinarily 1 for each 40 or 50 families. These buildings provide toilets and wash basins. In the center of the camp is a Utility Building with shower baths and tubs where the migrant women can do their family laundry. The opportunity to clean up and wash their clothes is one of the features of the camps most appreciated by the people who use them.
