He conceded that the Narragan sett Bay Bridge Authority, of which he is also a member, hac been able to do little thus far, bu the group has amassed a grea deal of useful preliminary informa lion. Seven alternate locutions have been suggested, each having advantages and objections, commodore said. State engineers have reported that the bridge could be built near the harbor entrance, crossing The Dumplings, for about S20 million, bat it is likely the cost would be more, Mngruder said. He pointed out that the needs and restrictions ot the Navy and other military branches must be considered fully when choosing a crossing for the bridge.

There is little doubt, the commodore said, that the state will have to provide subsidies for the bridge, in other parts of the Bliss Road.
