Beach preservation urged federal action by Chamber directors
The Chamber of Commerce urged speedy federal action to protect Seal Beach Surfside and South Coast communities from beach erosion. Directors sent letters to Congressman Hosmer and Senators Kuchel Knowland requesting immediate Army Engineers remedial work including 200000 cubic yards of fill at Seal Beach a 700 foot groin and 1000000 yards of fill at Surfside Colony with total project cost about 486000. The plan seeks one third cost reimbursement for public interests and full first cost for federally owned property. The harbor committee led by Cloyce Bogle submitted the recommendation.
