Wild Hears Ju-| neau Interests Present Arguments for Facilities Facts and figures tending to show | the need in Juneau for a small boat harbor were being presented Col. H. J. Wild, Army District Engineer, at a hearing in the Federal District court room this afternoon, with the City, various Federal and Territor- ial agencies and private industry represented. In opening the hearing, Col. Wild explained to the men present that whatever the recommendatnion he may make, the small boat harbor is not a project of the immediate fu- ture. He explained that his recom- mendation goes to the Chief of Army Enginieers through the Division En- gineer and then, if the action is fa- vorable, a survey will be ordered to determine costs, location and other matters. This project outline then must go into the Rivers and Harbors bill and get approval of Congress. If it passed, it stands as an approv- ed proiect subject to construction in line of priority with like projects throughout the United States. Will Take Time Col. Wild said he made the ex- planation to show that immediate action need not be expected. In fact, he commented, if decision was finally reached in a year and a half, it would be lucky. Mayor I. Goldstein was the first to appear this afternoon. The May= | or said it was his belief the small boat harbor should be located inside | the Government dock, between the dock and Willoughby Avenue. He said the city stood ready to co-oper- ence at Brussels as well as Dardan- elles conversations now in progress in Montreaux, Switzerland. The agreement with Great Britain was reached shortly after the League took sanctions against Italy in the Ethiopian trouble.
