Boat Harbor Plans
Receive C of E OK
Washington (■£*) — The
Board of Engineers for rivers
and harbors has approved a
proposal for a small boat basin
in Kodiak Harbor.
Proposals for construction
of several small boat harbors
along the Alaskan coast were
approved by the board at the
same time.
The board’s recommenda
tions go to the chief of Army
Engineers, and then to Con
gress, which must authorize
the projects and then vote
funds before they can be con
structed.
The boat harbor plans for
Kodiak call for a basin about
11.7 acres in area, dredged to
depths of eight and 12 feet,
and protected by two rock
breakwaters. The federal cost
would be $1,504,730.
In all instances, local in.
terests are required to provide
necessary land, easements and
rights of way, and future
maintenance.
