for this construction work. He stated that they were here to
give us a good job as quietly and as quickly as possible. Mr.
Rocke answered questions posed by some of the councilmen in
regard to the construction work. Councilman Hosti wanted to
know approximately how much rock would be moved and the route
through the City they plan to take. Mr. Rocke replied that
approximately thirty thousand tons of rock would be used,
eleven thousand of which would be transported by truck and the
remaining nineteen thousand by barge. He stated further that
when trucks were used they would take whatever route the City
preferred; provided it was within reason. Mayor Counihan thanked
Mr. Rocke for coming in and meeting with them and promised the
full cooperation of the City during the construction of this
groin.
