artificially placed and retained by groins^ and by stone revetments^ selection 

 of the particular method for each reach of shore to be based on conditions 

 of littoral drift in the reach and the use requirements of the shore , 



In accordance with existing statutory requirements, the Beach Erosion 

 Board stated its opinion that: 



a. it is not advisable for the United States to adopt a project 

 at this time authorizing Federal participation in the cost of shore pro- 

 tection in Racine County, Wisconsinj 



be the public interest involved in the proposed improvements is 

 small, being limited to the value of a minor amount of publicly owned pro- 

 perty being lost through erosion^ and 



Co no share of the expense should be borne by the United States « 



The Chief of Engineers concurred generally in the views and recommenda- 

 tions of the Beach Erosion Boardo
