Matter Relative To Pro-
posed Project Heard AT
County Commissioners
Meeting

Consideration is being given TO
the formulation of a project 10
beautifY Atlantic Beach and TO
add TO the sand which has in past
years been depleted and has new
er been replaced and will not be.
il was shown. unless engineering
activities are authorized TO ar
range for ietties to be built out
from the shore.
This matter was presented to
the board of county commission
ers last night by a committee con-
sisting of Franklin B. Albert. B.
c. Moreno. Homer Herrick and
Dan Navarro. with Mr.. Albert adj
dressing the board in behalf of
the project.
Discussing the matter from
several angles, it was shown that
the proposition presented several
difficulties which had to be over
come at the outset. One of these
was the necessity of making a
survey of the shore, making
soundings and determining the
depth to which the jetties or sheet
piling would have to be sunk.
Commissioner Ws49 n. Porter
had given the matter thought for
a number of years, and was of the
opinion that sheet piling would be
the proper material to use, the
piling to be sunk from the boule-
ward out to a depth to be determ-
ined by the survey, which will me-
cessarily have to be made.
Two, or possibly more. of the
groins will be built, it is the opin-
ion of engineers, and will even
tually be the means of collecting
sand in such quantities as to make
of the beach a much more attrac-
tive and inviting place than it is
at present.
At the conclusion of the discus
sion, a committee was appointed
TO make arrangements for the sur
vey and other necessary details
of the work. Members of the
committee are: Commissioners
Braxton B. Warren. VIM. r. Por-
ter and Cleveland Niles.
Another matter which was
brought TO the attention of the
board by Mr.. Albert was the
swimming pool on the boulevard,
which is not deep enough to per-
NIT of diving and the facilities
there, if theyiare to be augment
cd, should be done as soon as pos
sible as the equipment which is
here with which to do the work
will be moved as soon as the sew
er project is completed.
This matter and possibility of
working on the pool. possibly
deepening it and smoothing the
bottom is TO be also given due
consideration

county commissioners and city
council.
1t was proposed that the large
warehouse, which is located at
the eastern end of the property of
the Clyde-Mallory Lines, would
be an ideal location for the fac
tory, and Mr.. Schulsinger and as
sociates, who had made an ex-
animation of the building, said it
was easily adaptable to the estab-
lishment of the plant.
James Kelly, one of the asso-
ciates of Mr.. Schulsinger, said
that there is nothing to be appre-
hended in the way of odors from
the plant, as it will be absolutely
odorless. There will be employed
a. the plant about 800 people. and
they will be paid living wages.
The matter of securing exemp-
ton from taxation was discussed.
and VIM. H. Monsalvatge, of city
council. could see no reason why
this could not be done.
Present at the meeting were;
Charles E. Smith, Bascom L.
Groons, w. 7. Doughty, Jr., Carl
