Army board approves Hawaiian defense plan with $40 million outlay
Washington reports the War Department estimates $40 million for Oahu land defenses. About half spent already, not including Pearl Harbor base project of $6 million. Plans cover roads, rail sidings for 240 mm howitzers, long range guns, troop housing, air defense, and rapid transport. Congress previously urged yearly funding of $3 to $5 million until seven-year completion, but the coming year’s bill only allocates $25,000 for Oahu defense.
