| Summary: | Cordova Ship Yard Planned: Sites For Proposed Project Now Being Investigated By J. R. Treutle. CORDOVA SHIP YARD PLANNED Sites For Proposed Project Now Being Investigated By J. R. Treutle CORDOVA.—A new industry will make its appearance in Cordova soon if plans of J. R. Treutle, boat-builder, are carried into effect. Treutle arrived on the last boat from the states and the past few days has been investigating sites for a shipyard. He has most of his equipment and plans to handle boats up to feet in length. Treutle stated he interviewed many Cordova cannery men in Seattle before starting on his new venture and received great encouragement from them. This and the fact that the small boat harbor will probably be dredged soon, decided him to select Cordova for a boat ways, he said. Possibilities Seen With the boat harbor and a cold storage plant which will be erected when the harbor is put in, Treutle sees possibilities for a large gas boat fleet here which need the service such as his business affords. He is favorably impressed by sites near Eyak Slough, although none have been decided upon as yet. The Lake Eyak Highway extension toward Three Mile Bay which parallels the east side of the slough makes that a choice location, he stated, as the ways would not then be wholly dependent on water transportation.
