pier and to dredge in Florida Bay
at applicants property, about l..
100 feet easterly from the west

r. 80 E., at Marathon, Key Vaca,
Monroe County Fla.
1t is proposed to construct a
breakwater of native stone to en-
close a rectangular basin IS feet
wide measured approximately
parallel to the shore line, and $50
feet long measured at a right
angle thereto.
The breakwater would be II
feet wide at the top, with 81 side
slopes, the top to be approximate
ly four feet above mean low wa
ter.
It is proposed to dredge the
basin to a depth of six feet below
mean low water, the dredged ma
terial to be used in the breakwa-
ter or deposited on the upland.
The applicant further proposes
to construct a timber pier to pro-
ject into the waterway 1873 feet
from the hayward side of the
breakwater. The pier would be
eight feet wide, with deck five
feet above mean low water, and
would terminate in balanced
T-shaped head so feet long and
eight feet wide.
Plans of this work may be seen
at the office of the District En-
gineer, Corps of Engineers, SIS
Riverside Avenue; Jacksonville.
Fla, and at the office of the En-
gineer in Charge, Miami Beach
Sub Office. Corps of Engineers,
foot of Collins Avenue, Miami
Beach, Fla.
1t is not proposed to hold pub
lie hearing on this application.
Anyone desiring to submit pro-
test based on the proposition that
the proposed work would unreal
sonably interfere with public
navigation, or would unfavorably
affect the navigable capacity of
the said waterway, should sub
NIT such protest in writing in
sufficient detail to permit Of a
clear understanding Of the rea-
sons tferef0r. =
The Federal courts have ruled
that the decision of the War De-
partment on the application must
be based entirely on the effect
the proposed work would have
upon navigation, and not on its
effect on property values or 9TH
Ell considerations having nothing
to do with navigation. A War
Department permit is merely a
waiver of objections insofar as
public rights of navigation are
concerned. It confers no fran
chise or property rights, nor does
it in any way abridge any right
which any aggrieved person
would have had under any law,
had the permit not been issued.
Protests based on effects on
public navigation should be adj
dressed to the District Engineer,
Corps of Engineers. P.O. Box 4970,
Jacksonville, Fla, in time to be
received on or before October n,
1947.
The above information was
made public by Willis E. Teale,

of another kind ow day. Maybe
it can be squeezed in some place
and will catch on. am calling
it mo chaos day" On that day
it will be quiet-nobody will
break out in a lather that some
thing has gotta be done before
shutdown or disaster will over
take us. If there is one thing in
this land of -the-free that we
have more of, but which does
not seem to be cramping our
style too much, it is threaten
ed chaos" Chaos is hanging over
our head like a chicken hawk
over the barnyard.

next morning. Stomach ulcers
and irritated dispositions come
next Anybody thinking that
stomach ulcers are not our ma
tional affliction, let him hesitate

from behind will tell him.

arrange to have itcoincide with

would he we'll if we could be re-
minded more often than once a year
that a strong America is a peaceful
America. For it seems that, as al
ways after a war, the warnings in
the world news in our daily papers
are little needed.
America was militarily weak in
1917, and Germany thought that she
could defeat us. America was mil
itarily weak in 1911. and Japan
thought that we could be defeated.
Fortunately, in both wars, we had
some allies capable of withstandine
the enemy until we could make
ready. In any future war we
would not have that advantage, for
/ il is probable that we would be at
tackled first of all.
America must, therefore, remain
strong, to insure the peace we have
won so ardOuSly. TO remain
strong, we need not maintain al
unduly large army. a comparative
ly small regular army. backed by {
National Guard and by an organ
lied reserve corps, is all that i
needed. all that has ever beel
needed.
But all of these cOmponents O
our Army must be given the mean
aud support necessary to achiev
the degree of strength which is es
sential, and to maintain I ha
, strength. TO abandon our Arm
again. in this age, would be NOR
than short sighted il would b
fOOlhardy.
