Cook of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers advised the Council of the Corps plan to proceed with the design and Construction of the easterly ex- tension of protective work along Ediz Hook.

The additional repairs extend from the Coast Guard Air Station to the end of the hook and is estimated to cost $1,600,000. Considering the funds the City previously provided on the Ediz Hook repair work currently under contract, an additional $110,000 will have to be provided by the City for this extended work.
