City's Authority Over Sand Islands Is Not Curtailed
The city of Mobile's authority over the sand islands below Choctaw Point remains intact despite the state harbor commission bill. The Mobile Item cites Representative Claude A Grayson noting the harbor measure consolidates three prior boards into a single body, but does not diminish Mobile's local powers. The new commission, seven members, is to oversee port, harbor, and navigational duties with bonded officials and monthly meetings, yet preserves public ownership and oversight of navigable waters and related properties.
