The Citizens Committee of Savannah Beach, appoin to consider the advisability of securing funds from the United States under the National Industrial Recovery let for public improvements on Tybee Island, begs leave to report as follows: MENTINGS OF CO The whole committee has held two lengthy meetings in the office of the Chairman, the first on July 3rd and the second on July lath, at which meetings the National Industrial Recovery Act was studied, certain communisations with Washington were discussed, and various projects that might be of benefit to Savannah Beach, Tybee Island, and the State of Georgia were considered. At the initial meeting sub - committees were ap- pointed to consider and investigate tha.adrisability of a specific proposal. These sub - committees reported at the second meeting, as more fully hereinafter sat out in this report. Among the projects considered were the following: COASTAL BR0SI0i Your entire, committee feels it is1 'impera- tive that something be done to prevent ► "e ther erosion of the beach on Tybee Island. Is find that there is a steady and continuing erosion and encroachment of the.Strand. Last winter at soma points on the beach the erosion equalled 45 feet. If allowed to continue, and the existing conditions are not remedied, the committee believes that the Strand will ultimately be, destroyed entirely, and that the pawed highway on Butler Avenue may be jeopardised. 'rivets property of course will also be destroyed. A sub- committee has been investigating the most approved method for prevention of further erosion along the South Atlantic seaboard. Our information is that the methods to be employed vary in different sections, due to different' conditions.
