Mrs. Eugene Mogabgab, President of the Bay-Wavelanu Garden Club called <a mass meeting on last Sunday afternoon at the Courthouse relative to aid for the reconstruction of the Sea Wall and Beach Hoad.

In a bill presented to the Legislature to allow counties bordering on the Gulf of Mexico to issue bonds, to repair Ihcir seawall, and who
were to receive aid from the federal government, the name of Hancock County was omitted from the bill, and only Jackson and Harrison Counties were to be given authority to issue the bonds, to match certain federal funds.
The object of the meeting was to ask Slate Senator Cornelius J. Ladner, to support the Bill and to have the name of Hancock County placed in the bill. Mr. Ladner was present at the meeting and promised his aid.
On Wednesday Mr Ladner intro-dced a similar bill in the Senate, which will give the County the right to issue bonds in the event it can secure federal aid.
