Asked about other projects for | this area, specifically, the dredging of the Mendenhall bar, Hopkins said that this had been approved by the Board in March, 1945, but funds have not yet been appro- priated, Hopkins asked to express pub- licly "his thanks for the response to his request last spring for boat owners and operators to fill out questionnaires “We are especially grateful,” 1 flood- | he'i K.

Also,” he added, “dredging the Douglas area would be easier and cheaper. Considering the great difference in cost, there does not seem suffi- cient justification for recommend- ing the Juneau improvement.” Cost estimates are acout $500,000 for the Douglas Small Boat Har- bor, against $1,100,000 for the pro- posed Juneau extension.
