BREAKWATER PASSED LAST BARRIER
Through continued efforts of local citizens, the Sew
ard Chamber of Commerce, friends in the States and;
The Gateway, a project long sought—a harbor of refuge
for small boats, in Resurrection Bay—has climaxed suc
cessfully. The breakwater has passed the last obstacle;
and will be built; and work on it will probably start at
once.
In reply to an inquiry from The Gateway regard
ing status of the Seward item on the bill President Hoov
er signed some days ago, the following telegram was re
ceived:
The Seward Gateway: Rivers Harbors bill carried authorization
$85,000 harbor refuge small boats Seward. —Associated Press
It is estimated by those more or less familiar with
this sort of a project,* that at least six months work will
be entailed before its completion; in view of present lab
or situation, no reason is seen why work should not be
gin at once; its completion will mean a marine ways,
probably a boat building plant, the Port of Seward will
actually become headquarters for fishermen and their
vessels; more local people will go in for boating and
the best possible protection will thus be given seaplanes.
The cultimation of years cumulative efforts which
has made chis project possible, should be an inspiration
to the communily. It plainly reveals what can be accom
plished by a united front. Seward is deeply appreciative
to those agencies which has also unceasingly assisted,
mainly, the Alaska Road Commission.
