ALASKA PLANS
TURNED DOWN
Har bor Improvements at
Rake, Metlakatla and
Haines, Disapproved

WASHINGTON. Jan. 8. - Major
General E. M. Markham, Chief OF
Army Engineers, has filed an adj
verse report with the House Rivers
and Harbors Committee on propos-
ed harbor improvements at Kake
Metlakatla and Haines, all in South
east Alaska.
The Chief said the breakwater
proposed at the Rake harbor would
afford shelter for small craft but
adequate shelter is available else
where.
The cost of suitable breakwaters
at Metlakatala and Haines would
clearly exceed the benefits to be
derived by general commerce and
navigation"
