Beach comprised widening of the beaches to widths of 75 to 150 feet, con- 
structing a terrace wall, 1,200 feet long , 2 groins and appurtenant drainage 
facilities, construction of the groins and 800 feet of the wall to be de-

In accordance with existing statutory requirements, the Board stated 
its opinion that: 
a. lit is advisable for the United States to adopt a project 
authorizing Federal participation in the cost of protecting and improving 
the shores at Waikiki Beach; 
b. The public interest involved in the proposed improvement is 
substantial. It is associated with prevention of damages to public pro- 
perty and recreational benefits to the general public; end 
c. The share of the expense which should be borne by the United 
States is one-third of the first cost of the work applicable to the publicly 
owned shore. 
The Ghief of Engineers concurred in the recommendations of the 
Beach Erosion Board that a project be adopted by the United States authoriz- 
ing the contribution of Federal funds in an amount equal to one-third of 
the first cost of the aforegoing work applicable to the publicly owned 
portions of the shore.
