42 <br />Report of the Harbor Master <br />To the Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Mashpee: <br />Nice weather and absence of any major storms made it a <br />pleasant season for boating people. <br />Channel buoys and ground tackle were painted and re- <br />conditioned as necessary and set out in the channels. Two <br />new speed control signs were set up in Popponesset Bay, <br />These signs were made up in a substantial manner to resist <br />vandalism. Through the cooperation of residents on Monom- <br />oscoy, speed signs were placed on private docks and prop- <br />erties along Little and Great Rivers. <br />All these signs help, but it takes more than signs to <br />educate some of the boating public on the subjects of courtesy <br />and safety on the waterways. Officers from the Division of <br />Waterways patrolled our area a few times last summer. <br />A lighted beacon was installed on the easterly jetty at <br />the entrance to Waquoit Bay by the Town of Falmouth. This <br />has been a long needed aid to navigation and we are fortu- <br />nate that Falmouth assumed the entire cost. <br />We thank the many citizens who have cooperated with <br />us in so many ways, such as being considerate in the location <br />of moorings, help in recovering lost boats, reporting on chan- <br />nel obstructions, displaced buoys, and the like. <br />The services of Mr. Jerome Beatty, who serves gratis as <br />Assistant Harbor Master for Popponesset Bay, are most ap- <br />preciated. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />GORDON CROWELL <br />
