dr Reports on shore protection of Federal property (authoriza- 

 tion by the Chief of Engineers), 



Of these tjrpes of studies, cooperative beach erosion studies are the 

 type most frequently made when a community desires investigation of its 

 particular problem. As these studies have greater general interest 5 informa- 

 tion concerning studies of specific localities contained in these quarterly 

 bulletins will be confined to cooperative studies. Information about other 

 types of studies can be obtained upon inquiry to this office. 



Cooperative studies of beach erosion are studies made by the Corps of 

 Engineers in cooperation with appropriate agencies of the various States by 

 authority of Section 2, of the River and Harbor Act approved 3 July 1930, 

 By executive ruling the cost of these studies is divided equally between 

 the United States and the cooperating agency. Information concerning the 

 initiation of a cooperative study may be obtained from any District Engineer 

 of the Corps of Engineers, After a report on a cooperative study has been 

 transmitted to Congress, a summary thereof is included in the next issue
