4 <br />Jeeves On Beach Erosion Control: <br />A Presentation to County Commissioners, <br />in meeting, August 20, 1975 at the <br />Indian River County Courthouse <br />Subject: <br />EFFECTIVE & ECONOMIC BEACH EROSION CONTROL <br />(Note: All underlining is that of -the speaker). <br />Madam Chairlady, County'Commissioners, Ladies and Gentlemen: <br />My name is Roger Jack Jeeves. I reside at 605 Holly Road, <br />Vero Beach, with my wife and my ten year old daughter. I come <br />before you as a taxpayer of both the County and the City; and <br />more importantly as a proponent of the concrete "jacks" system <br />u.r . <br />to prevent beach erosion. It is tyke method being used in this <br />country and abroad, and has been for many years back. It is a <br />system which can be installed in four or five months <br />rather than years. <br />The efficacy of the "jacks" system has been proved many times <br />over. This manual I hold here (HOLD UP BOOK) is titled: <br />CONCRETE,ARMOR UNITS FOR PROTECTION AGAINST WAVE ACTION. It is <br />the "bible" of the Corps, published by them in January 1974, I <br />will quote from page Al - Appendix A: of Engineers Experience with <br />Concrete Armor Units. <br />(Quote) "Since the invention of the tetropod in 1950, <br />concrete armor units have been used extensively throughout the <br />world."
