would cost $272,000. Included in
ihis estimate is a breakwater 940
feet long and dredging an anchor
age basin to a deptli of 10 feet at
mean lower low water. The dis
trict engineer believes that the bene
fits which would result from stim
ulation of the fishing industry
would be sufficiently widespread to
lustify the Federal Government in
constructing a harbor.
6. This report has been referred,
as required by law, to the Board
of Engineers of Rivers and Har
bors, and attention is invited to its
report herewith, agreeing with the
district engineer.
7. After due consideration of
the above mentioned reports, I con
cur in the views of the district
engineer and the Board of En
gineers for Rivers and Harbors.
The development of the fishing in
dustry at Ketchikan has been so
great that the harbor facilities are
not adequate for the large number
of craft in use. The congestion is
sc great that considerable damage
results during rough weather, when
no protection from southeast winds
is available. Saxman Harbor is
not ■■ favorably situated, being too
far distant from the activities at
Ketchikan. iMoreover, rne neveiop
roent of a satisfactory harbor thorp
would be very expensive. In my
opinion tho handicaps under which
the important fishing industry is
now operating justify the Fedora1
Government in providing an ade
quate harbor. I thererore report
that the Improvement of Ketchikan
Harbor at the mouth of Ketchikan
Greek is deemed advisable by the
construction of a breakwater and
by dredging the area indicated by
the map to a depth of 10 feet a<
mean lower low water, at an
estimated cost of $272,000. The
cost of maintenance is expected to
be merely nominal for many years.
