Dike Defense At Fairfield Hearing On Flood Plan
Fairfield representatives defend Frank E. Daniels proposed gravel dike system to curb floods along the inshore area. They argue it protects 10 percent of the population, stabilizes the coast, supports infrastructure, and costs about $500000, less than sand pumping and jetties. The plan faces opposition from the Fairfield Beach Improvement Association and a hearing is held at Oldfield School.
