_ma -W eby Lake OW3- April 25, 2 problem last year in the public beach area : Steel ramps were put down each Wednesday at 6: 00 a.m. and the leach was a raked by machine. The machine operator was informed that he was not allowed to proceed with work before 7 : 00 a.m. in the morning. The police were called for enforcement and will be called again this year if problem pe.r i t . The beach area is being extended further down toward boat ramp, through what used to be wetlands . The Highway Department has been cutting trees in that area and continues to ]ring in fill material. Mr. Fritchi questions whether there is adequate signage at public beach area. The committee suggests another sign at oat ramp area, which would post state regulations, and the sign should be at parking lot area or entranceway. The current ]coat ramp sign is down and has deteriorated, plus the hours of operation are painted over. Mr. Perry Ellis would have legal authority in this matter. The committee would prefer that the harbormasters enforce the regulations at ]goat ramp, rather than a town policeman. The Waterways commission and harbormaster will run the boat ramp opera- tion. The committee questions whether there will be part-time coverage by harbormaster on the lake this year.
