After discussion and on recommendation of Mayor 3rown the Council agreed to table this item. Mr. Webb reported to the Council that he had received a let- ter from the Corps of Engineers regarding his inquiry requesting that the material from the maintenance dredging at Baker's Haulover be placed on our oceanfront to replace material lost by erosion. Mr. Webb stated that the engineers could not deposit this material as re- quested inasmuch as the additional pipeline required to accomplish this work would cause greater expense which they are not authorized to make, but the Village could contract with the Government Contrac- tor and make arrangements to purchase this material in question. Mr. Webb also read a letter from Zurwelle-Whittaker in which they stated that the U. S. Engineers removed 31,500 cubic yards of material from the Inland Waterway opposite Baker's Haulover about a month ago, which was a typical yearly operation.
