It is also concluded that prajects for Plum Bank, Great Hanij-n.ook, Saybrook 

 Manor, Ch-all©r and Grove Beaches appear to be justified by evaluated 

 benefits. The Board also believed that the public oyraership and interest 

 in the projects are insufficiaat to ■vrai'rant Federal aid under the policy 

 established by Public Law 727, 79th Congress, The Board reooianiended tl:©t 

 local auttiorities consider adoption of projects for protection and 

 improveinent of these beaches at local ejqjenss, si±i stantially in accordance 

 T/ith the foregoing plans. The Board considered it advisable, howerar^ 

 for local interests to inake independent evaluations of prospective benefits 

 from these projects in determining justification for their construction 

 at local expense. 



In accordance isrith existinig statutory requirements the Board stated its 

 opinion that: 



a. It is inadvisable for the United States to adopt projects 

 authorizing Federal participation in the cost of protecting and improving 

 the shores within the area studied: 



b« The public interest involved in the proposed measures for 

 these shores is sniallj and 



c. No share of the expense should be borne by the United 

 States.
