Senator Bush to Seek Funds for Southport Breakwater Repair
U S Senator Prescott Bush plans to request funding in the next Congress for repairing the Southport harbor breakwater. Harbormaster Russell said sand is filtering with rocks, narrowing the channel, and Bush has previously asked the Army Engineers for a study. Southport harbor serves boats moored at the town dock and Pequot Yacht members. A skating party for YWCA Les Filles Y-Teen and YMCA Pi Omega Tau Hi-Y is set tonight at the Norwalk rink followed by refreshments at Lynn Horton’s home.
