\SSOO.OOO TO BE USED
ON BREAKWATER AT
CORPUS CHRISTI BAY
CORPUS CHRISTI Tex. July 17.
The chief of army engineers has au-
thorized au expenditure of not mon
than $500000 of the port work fund
for the extension of the breakwater
now fringing the business section of
Corpus Christi. The information came
from Maj. B. B. Browne district en-
gineer at Galveston.
Extension of the breakwater is seen
as one of the steps to make the port
here safe from tropical disturbances.
The present construction was built fol-
lowing the hurricane of 1919. This
city's claims for federal designation
as a deep water harbor was based on
the fact that the development here
would be safe as all harbor improve-
ments would be built on high land.
The breakwater however is to pro-
tect the channel into the harbor prop-
er. as well as tonnage that might l»e
anchored in the turning basin at the
time of a possible disturbance.
The extension of the breakwater
must be done in accordance with plans
proposed by the government en-
gineers.
