From the inception of the Navy Department a century and a half ago
American warships have vastly changed from wooden frigates and
privateers to steel-hulled battleships, cruisers, and carriers, but the
will to Oght in defense of America has undergone no transition. The
veteran USS Constitution, shown in upper photo in battle with the
British ship GUERRIERE in 1812, rests in retirement In Boston, con-
tent to repose the security of her country today in such craft as the
USS Alaska (lower), American version of the. German pocket battle-

the Japanese in World War II. (OMlcial Navy Photograph)

The line will serve as a source
of power during construction of
the $25 million Aluminum Com-
pany of America plant, and after
construction, work is finished it
will be used as an added power

be operated at that voltage. The
company plans to send only 12,000
volts over the transmitter at the
outset and increase voltage as it
is needed.
The Alcoa plant when completed
will have Its own power plant as
Its main source of electrical * cur-
rent, but it will purchase CPL pow-
er during construction. Company
officials, however, said that the
area around Port Lavaca is grow-
ing so fast that the one 22,000-
volt transmission line now operating
will no longer be sufficient by the
time the plant g°eB into operation.
After plant construction is fin-
ished, the line will be extended
to tie in with the Victoria-to-Blese-
ing. line, officials said. That move
is contemplated for next year.
The new line, if approved by
the district engineers, will be
Started almost irhmediately. It will
be built approximately parallel to
State Highway 35 and will extend
2,368 feet across the bay. It will
provide horizontal clearance of ap-
proximately 800 feet between sup-
porting towers and vertical clear-
ances of approximately 40 feet
above mean low tide. A span op-
posite the navigation opening La-
vaca Bay feauseway will, however,
provide horizontal clearances of
680 feet and vertical clearance of
70 feet above mean low tide. This
span may be removed if necessary
to allow for the passage of vessels.
Protests against the construction
may be registered at the office of
the District Engineer, 608 Santa Fe
Building, Galveston, not later than
July i. ’
by the Austin Bridge Company of
Dallas, which sutmi^ted a bid of
$2,457,035 to the Texas Highway
Department, it was reported in a
dispatch from Austin Wednesday.
All right-of-ways in San Pa-
tricio County have been secured
assuring no delay on tills side of
the causeway in the impending
construction.
The fcauseway is to be a 9,367-
foot structure. Plans call for a 28-
foot roadway width, on continuous
I-beam- units and a simple 60-foot
movable I-beam span, supported on
metal shell pile bents.
A Contract was awarded by the
highway department Tuesday to
Brown & Root, Ine., for grading
and "smaller structures" on 3.9
miles of roadway from North
Reach to Portland as the remain-
der of the project.
With tlie completion of this pro-
ject and another widening program
from Portland to approximately 2
miles west of Gregory, construc-
tion on Highway 181 will be vir-
tually complete. Construction Is
nearing completion on the roadway
north of Sinton. ,
