In this connection, it has been essential that certain emergency installations (such as the wooden bulkhead and groins now partially completed) be placed. 13ecause of severe weather conditions usually experienced in the winter months 1 decided, as the engineer in charge that such temporary instEllations were absolutely necessary in order to protect property and to provide a factor of safety essential be- fore installation of concrete units was undertaken. To date approximately 250 pre -cast sheet pilings have been completed. It is my intention to burin actual construction of the concrete bulk- head by placement of these sheet pilings sometime during next week. The expenditure of funds for materials represents purchases of sufficient ouantities to build all the concrete bulkhead planned under the rroject; and, in addition to this, equipment necessary for project operations; also creosoted materials to be used in the con- struction of a creosoted timber bulkhead and groin at the extreme south end of the Island. also 1,ean no.essY177 to pure •_:: se Page 2. considerable quantities of materiels used in the emergency work. Under the operating plan which I have developed, installation of C.9yerep ^ 30 n piling will begin in the vicinity of 18th Street and extend towards the Tybrisa Pavilion in order that the parking area may be restored as quickly es possible.
