ClearingJ Anw j..Jpairing^ '
Begins At Avon Mills
""A road has been opened to Avon Mills, the site of the Blue Ridge Music Festival summer camp, and work of clearing the grounds and cleaning out brush has made some progress.
With Paul A. Walker in charge of construction, several days’ work was done this week. The six old mill stones, weighing from a ton to a ton-and-a-half apiece, have been moved out of the old mill to enable a new floor to be put in. The gears and shafts have also been moved.
The cleared acre-plot in front of the mill has been cleaned and burned over. The plot is flat, with several large trees and some smaller ones, about 40 feet in height, left standing. Most of the trees are locust.
The workmen spent the first days of their work encountering snakes, but with the brush cleared away and the large rocks moved, they expect that trouble will vanish. Work next week will probably begin repairing the stone foundation Avails.
