23 <br /> Report of the Park Commissioners <br /> To the Honorable Board of Selectmen <br /> and the Citizens of the Town of Mashpee <br /> We hereby submit our report for the year ending Dec. <br /> 31, 1959. <br /> Each year it has been the policy of this committee toy, <br /> improve an additional area of Attaquin Park, to maintain <br /> the beach and existing equipment located there, to rake and <br /> clean the beach at periodic intervals and to insure removal <br /> of waste and other refuse. <br /> The picnic tables were repaired and painted. The parking <br /> area damaged by severe winter frosts were reconditioned <br /> and made usable again. <br /> The grassed areas were kept cut and poison ivy uprooted <br /> and destroyed. <br /> Many requests have been made to increase the "beach <br /> area". This past Fall a section of trees in the area nearest <br /> the beach, was cut down, removed and the hill pushed back <br /> adding a larger area for a beach. There is much more work <br /> to be done to complete this project. <br /> The beach at Seconset is nearly gone; at high tide the <br /> beach is under water. When the tide recedes, deposits of <br /> grass are often left behind because the existing beach is be- <br /> low the water level. Either sand must be trucked in to raise <br /> the :beach above the high tide mark or a beach be located at <br /> a different location. <br /> We are grateful to all who use the beaches in that they <br /> have attempted to leave them clean. <br /> We wish to express our appreciation to the various town <br /> officials and to the citizens for their cooperation during the f <br /> Past year. :f <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> KENNETH COOMBS <br /> ELMONT B. TOBEY , <br /> GEORGE GREEN <br /> Park Commissioners <br />
