During 1941 a sand-tight terminal groin of timber wall, native

450 lin ft of cresote-treated timber was placed at its shoreward end

widths varied from 6 to 12 ft, and the crown elevation varied from
to
ft
at the shoreward and seaward ends, respectively. A
2-ft-thick mat foundation was placed using 8,000 tons of native
stone, and 13,300 tons of mostly 5- to 10-ton stone was used to com-
plete the groin. (The largest stone was to be placed at the seaward
end.) The cost of the structure was 5,000.
Granite stone, weighing 600 tons, was placed on the south side of
1942
the north groin at an exposed section of core wall. This placement
was necessary since sand had been accreting on the north side and
eroding on the south side to the point that the highwater line was
150 ft west of the structure. Cost of the repair was ,200.
Repairs were made to 350 ft of the existing north groin, and a
1943
300-ft shoreward extension was completed using 20- to 100-lb core
stone and 300- to 1,000-lb cap stone to guard against flanking of
the structure by the continued recession of the shoreline south of
the groin. The repairs cost ,600.
The seaward 100 ft of north groin had gradually subsided below

A 2,825-ft-long sand-tight south jetty was constructed (Figure 28)
approximately 2,400 ft south of the existing north groin, providing

of the jetty plus a shoreward revetment section was 7,000.
