Tuna Agents Choose a'ascagoula Site;
Research Boat Facilities To Be Set Up
Company Vents BAWI Aid For CannerY;
Bond Issue Would Be Beot 8 Obligation

The proposed canning plant of
Tuna, Inc, will be located on re-
claimed land on the west bank of
Pascagoula river just south of
the LIN tracks.
The decision was announced
last week by Cecil Drake of San
Diego, who, with J. S. Martinae
of the j. NJ. Martinac Shipbuild-
ing CO., Tacoma. Wash. inspected
proposed sites at Pascagoula and
Moss Point.
The land is owned by the city
of Psscagoula and was purchased
by the port commission as part
of the industrial and port devel-
opment program. II was filled in
with spells from deepening of the
river channel to 81 feet and the
dredging of a turning basin OF
post the civ docks.
Drake and Martinac left Friday
afternoon to return to the West
Coast and will be back in Pasca-
eoula around Jan. l to push plans
for location of the plant here.
They hope to have it in operation
by early spring.
Want BAWI Building
After conferences Thursday and
Friday the following facts de-
veloped:
The company wants to establish
its plant here under the BAWI
plan. and a bond issue of approx
imately $150,000 to 100000 will
be necessary to finance construc-
ton of the eannery.
The building will be 100x30G
feet and will be located on a site
of necessary width and depth
along the river front.
Wharves will be constructed
for docking of tuna clippers and
handling their cargo.
Conferences have been held
with LIN railroad officials con-
corning construction of a spur
track to the area, and the board
of supervisors is pushing COM
pletion of the access highway.
The proposed BAWI bond issue
will be handled as a Beat Three
obligation. Supervisor Joe v.
Krebs said after conferences of
city. port commission and county
officials.
As soon as application is made
by the corporation it will be sub
mitted to the Agricultural and
Industrial board. for approval and,
if granted. voters of Beat Three
will be asked to pass on the pro-
posed bond issue.
Engineers Study Site
Drake said here Friday he
hoped this could be done with a
minimum loss of time as the COM
pany is anxious to get construc-
ton started and the plant in OPP
Grafton.
Engineers contacted by Drake
at New Orleans were in Pascal

ton as a preliminary to designing
the building. They were George
P. Rice and George F. Williamson

County Gets
Road Rebate
Of 100000
HighwoY. Industry
Bonds TO Be Colled
With RepoY Funds

Jackson county viii receive
5000. 900 as its share of the ST.
$4,000 rebate by the state gov
eminent 10 % counties under The
Ssanseil Act, State Representa-
tive Hermes F. Gautier said this
week.
The Siansell Act set up provi-
sions for the state government t.
reimburse counties for bridges and
highways financed by the coun-
ties and taken over by the state.
The proposed reimbursement
has been marked by q lengthy
legal controversy. which culmin-
afsd in a state supreme court
ruling upholding the counties. I'm
der this ruling the state would
have been liable for repaymenis
amounting to between rs and 90
million dollars.
The 1850. 900 figure was
reached as a compromise at the
recent special session of the leg
islature. The payment will be FL
nanced by a bond issue of the
state highway department.
Must Retire Road Bonds
The reimbursement provides
for retiring all outstanding coun-
~ road and bridge bonds before
the funds can be used for any
other purpose.
Jackson ~eounty's reimburse
ment is based on the county's
paving of Highway 30, eonstruc-
ton of the fill and several bridges
between Pascagoula and Gautier,
and building of the Ocean Springs
bridge cross Back Bay in par
ticipakien with Harrison county.
The bond issues ihvclvsd in
these projects formerly were
serviced by the toll bridge at
P~ascsgoula. but this was taken
over by the state in is42 and made
. free bridge.
Members of the board OF SUI
pefvisors pointed out. however,
that only sec, 500 OF these bonds
are still outstanding. Beat Four
has $25.500 outstanding from the
issue financing Back Bay bridge,
and Beats Two and Three $500
each.
The board plans first to retire
these bonds out of the reimburse
ment funds. The balance, after at
forney fees have been paid, will
be applied on outstanding indus
trial bonds involved in the locat-
ing of the ingalls, Shipyard at
~Paseagoula and the building of
the Peterzell & Gelles factory
building.
viii Offset Mileage
Shipyard bonds outstanding
amount to S66 1000, with S93 900
of the first issue of the Wooden
Mill bonds outstanding The first
is an obligation of Beat Three and
the second of Beats One, Tive and
Three.
After these obligations have
been paid. board members said.
any remaining balance will be
npuiied ON Beats Ona and r,.,1 L,
dustrial obligations.
Three mills are presently be-
ing levied in Beats One. Two and
Three to service these outstand-
ing issues and five and one-half
mills in Beat Four.
Board Unanimous
Members of the board said it
was their unanimous opinion that
the best interests of the county
would be served by applying the
reimbursement funds to the re-
firing of these outstanding bond
issues.
Although the action may re-
quire some special legislation.
Rep. Gautier said he believed nee-
essary authorization for the eoun-
TVS proposed action could be OBJ
tanned at the regular session of
the legislature which starts next
month.
