COMMUNICATIONS AND CORRESPONDENCE: Correspondence from Pirate's Cove Beach Association: Several residents of Pirate's Cove were present to discuss the status and apparent lack of progress in accomplishing the planned dredging activity. Residents voiced concern with respect to diminished property values and unfavorable marsh odors. Selectman liaison to the Waterways Commission, George Green indicated that the lack of progress is associated to differentials contained in data and statistics. The issue was prioritized by the Selectmen. The Board agreed to develop an action plan, and request the Waterways Commission to respond to this concern at the next scheduled Selectmen's Meeting. Area resident Edward Baker noted that the residents have requested dredging since 1987. There is a problem with the existing marsh structure in the upper river.
