Reclamation work for a new settlement opposite the Jordan border, near the Little Triangle, was started today as the first of five such outposts in a Jewish National Fund four-year plan. The JNF plans to invest 120,000,000 pounds ($40,000,000) for the project which will include land reclamation and expansion of the present Korazim northern area outpost and other development projects there.

At the same time, reclamation was underway in the southern development region here by the JNF on 80,000 dunams to be reclaimed in the next four years. As part of the plan 300 miles of roads are to be built and 20,000,000 trees planted.
