Mr. Brady stated that he was appearing before council to request a letter from them which he could present to the Corps of Engineers with his application for a permit to fill in some highland and marshland along Sixth Street from the north side and also from the south side, here at Savannah Beach. Mr. Brady stated that he had been assured by the Corps that they would grant him this permit provided he met certain requirements, one of which was a letter from Savannah Beach Town Council. He said this letter would simply state that Council had no objections to this.
