The cooperation of the Chamber the Geverner’s office, cityeofficials and the individual citiz of this community has brought results. And a great deal of credit is due the War Depart- ment. From the start the Army engineers have given the project serious and careful consideration. En- gineers have been sent here on several occasions to make surveys and to look over sites. More than a ¥ ago the Army men put their ok. on the project for its construction just north of the Douglas bridge the Delegate, BOAT HARBOR Col. Wild, in Seattle, Col. Lee, Division Engineer Portland, and the other War Department men with the undertaking, have done everything possibie to bring about an early construction. Farmarking of the money now by the war Department for immediate construction of the project means that the Army engineers have given Juneau a fine bit of cooperation nd side. in concerned on the main! We are all familiar with what it means to Juneau. A big small boat fleet operates out of here, fishing ind pleasure craft. Due to lack of facilities many vessels ol the fishing fleet have sought moorings else- where.
