even if the Federal government ,should participate in a project on

would have to raise.
Some ideas presented were:

whether ~he city would ever be able to carry out
any development beyond the present bulkhead line

Mr. Kruse again suggested that the City 'Mana8e~ might immediately
write a letter to private owners outlining what the city is proposing
