ti <br /> 12` <br /> i <br /> i <br /> a <br /> Report of the Board of Health <br /> To the Citizens of the Town of Mashpee: <br /> ' The town dumping area has presented a problem for <br /> several years. The board has made numerous attempts to <br /> acquire property and re-locate the dumping area. Land own- <br /> ers are generally reluctant to sell a piece of property which <br /> would be suitable for a dump because of the effect it would <br /> i <br /> have upon adjoining property. <br /> ! The Board of Health has entered two special articles in <br /> the 1958 Annual Warrant which would relieve the dumping <br /> problem greatly if accepted. We are unanimously in favor <br /> of a custodian of the dump who would be paid an annual <br /> salary to supervise dumping and maintain the area. One of <br /> our big problems is the use of the dump by non-residents of <br /> the town. This would be eliminated. Adequate regulations <br /> have been drafted by the Board governing the use of the <br /> dump and will be properly advertised if the articles are <br /> favorably voted upon in the town meeting. The Board will <br /> continue to seek another location for the town dump. We <br /> wish to thank Chief Ellsworth Peters for his cooperation in <br /> supervising the burning of the Town Dump during the past <br /> year. <br /> The Park Commissioners were designated by the Board <br /> i <br /> of Health to oversee the removal of seaweed from the town <br /> beach located at Seconset Island. No complaints were re <br /> ceived from citizens during the past year in regard to the <br /> health hazard previously presented by the seaweed; the <br /> Board of Health wishes to thank the Park commission for <br /> their thorough and conscientious effort in carrying out this <br /> assignment. <br /> 7 <br /> { <br /> i <br />
