ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., June 8.-(UP).-Hope for restoration of landmarks near historic Fort Marion faded yesterday with announcement by Arno B. Cammerer, director of the National Park Service, that no such work will be undertaken immediately.
Fort Marion was built by the Spaniards, shortly after their landing in 1512. It has been occupied by all subsequent-controlling governments.
"Although it is likely that the National Park Service will try to encourage restoration of some of the ancient conditions in the vicinity of this historic fort, no restoration without the hearty co-operation of the people of St. Augustine will be undertaken," Cammerer said.
