"Pascagoula mas the greatest

strategically situated that it is on

Where else can YOU find this in

The City of Pascagoula, which

Hard Road Ahead
Local hackers of the plan this
week stressed the fact that su
thorization of the study by the
Public Works Committee must
not be confused as being author
ization of the project itself. This
is but the first successful step,
and must be followed by favor
able reports by the United Stat
les Engineers and finally by Con
gressional authorization before
the project is to be realized.
The next step following the
Congressional committees au-
thorization of the study will be
an order forwarded by the com
mittee to the u. S. Engineer
office in Mobile authorizing a
survey.
r o. Gaillard, senior engineer
in the Mobile office, outlined the
procedure to be followed by his
office, in a telephone converse
ton this week with the Chron-
icle Star.
Funds Needed
After receiving the commit
tees order to make a study, he
said, the first step is to make
an estimate of the cost of the
study, which is sent to the Chief
of the U. S. Engineers.
Mr.. Gaillard stated that sever
al other studies which have been
authorized are now in the mac
tive status because funds have
not been forthcoming from the
Engineers headquarters. Among
these studies he said, yer chan
| mel projects at Appalachicola,
Pensacola, and on Sioux Bayou,
leading into West ~Paseagoula
river.
If, however, funGS are maze
available to the Mobile office for
the Leaf and Chicasawhay sur
vey, the next step is to call a
public hearing in about 30 days
from the time that the Chiefs
office gives the go-ahead signal.
The purpose of this hearing is
to receive testimony from per-
sons and interests in the affect
ed area to determine whether the
