Brown reported that the 12- foot railroad-vehicle bridge over the bayou could probably be eliminated as an obstruction should a high-elevation bridge be built onCountyRoad 227, upstream. He outlined laws dealing with navigational obstructions. "In my opinion, once the new bridge is built, by law the railroad bridge would be called an obstruction," Brown said. He pointed out, however, that until a new bridge is constructed, vehicles have no way of crossing the bayou in that area except by means of the railroad trestle bridge on the Hcisklns Mound Road. Navigation commissioners had earlier favored a low level, minimum cost bridge on County Road 227 if a high- level bridge, such as now under consideration, could be built.

Bayou traffic would not need a high elevation bridge as long as the low railroad bridge remained an obstruction, they pointed out at that time. The gathering discussed the desirability of a 40-45 foot bridge Monday. The group agreed that industrial development in that area is expected in future years which will require adequate navigational structures on the bayou. "We want to cooperate with you if we said E. L.

(Jack) Boston, navigation board chairman. He said funds are committed for this budget year, and any changes would have to come before Commissioners Court for approval. He said it would be 1966 before navigation district funds were available should the commissioners decide to assist with the bridge costs. Brown said it was anticipated that the bridge contract might be let early In 1966. He suggested that navigation district commissioners await final cost estimates before further action.

During a previous navigation district meeting, Stevens had asked commissioners to consider a higher bridge than the 15-foot, minimum cost bridge for which a permit is being sought from the Corps of Engineers at Galveston. Commissioners at that time decided to ask for a postponement of a hearing on the 15-foot bridge until further information was obtained concerning removal of the railroad bridge as an obstruction. A special meeting may be called If figures on bridge costs are ready before the next navigation district meeting on March 25. Seton H. Thompson, regional director of the U.

S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, announced that the first application from the Gulf and South Atlantic Region has been re- delved under the new Federal law which provides financial assistance to commercial fishermen for constructing modern fishing vessels. The application was submitted by Irving and Edna Tormala of Fort Myers, to construct an 85-foot, all steel trawler to fish for shrimp, tuna and snappers. The new law-The Fishing Fleet Improvement Act of financial assistance to help offset the higher cost of vessel construction in domestic shipyards compared to costs in representative foreign ship- yards. The maximum subsidy payment cannot exceed 50 percent of the domestic cost.

To qualify for assistance under the Fishing Fleet Improvement Act, a proposed vessel must be of advanced design, capable of fishing In expanded areas, and be equipped with newly developed fishing gear. The vessel may not operate in a fishery if such operation would cause economic hardship to efficient vessel operators already operating In that fishery.

One association member said this would prevent "arguing and fighting and being divided among pur- selves." The overall plan would have to Include a proposal for taking care of upstream wastes, he added. Four possible alternatives were suggested including use of existing streams and resulting pollution, digging of an open ditch, an underground pipeline to the Gulf, or retreating of wastes to a quality equal to water in the streams. Representatives of civic and service organizations and of industry will receive special invitations to the planned meeting, with others interested in the question also welcome to attend, association members said.
