A run-way will be put In so that flying boats may bo hauled out of tho water on the completion of a flight from 1 the homo base. A small Repair shed may also bo built. Due to tho fact that thero has bono no such facilities on Kauai, the navy seaplanes have boon forcttl to anchor in tho harbor and as the boats have a tendency to get water logged whon thoy remain In the wa ter too long It has made taking off rather difficult at tlmos.
