40 <br /> i <br /> Report of the Harbor Master <br /> To the Selectmen and Citizens of Mashpee: <br /> Buoys and ground tackle were painted and reconditioned and <br /> set out to indicate the channels in Popponesset Bay, Little River <br /> and Waquoit Bay. <br /> A group of boat owners who moor their boats up in Great <br /> River made up and set out channel markers in that river at no cost <br /> to the Town. Cooperation like this helps to keep down the cost of <br /> this department. <br /> The channel leading from Waquoit Bay into Little and Great <br /> Rivers is shoaling in more all the time. We wish the Selectmen <br /> would press the Division of Waterways to at least make a survey. <br /> We have renewed our understanding with the Town of Barn- <br /> stable whereby they share the cost of buoys and signs in Poppones- <br /> set Bay. We have also made arrangements with the operators of <br /> the New Seabury marina to handle the buoyage of the Popponesset <br /> Bay area. I feel sure that they will perform the job in a more <br />�! ! efficient and satisfactory manner and save us money. <br /> The increasing number of boats in the Popponesset Bay area <br /> presents a problem for mooring space. In an effort to control some <br /> I of the irresponsible placement of moorings, we now require each <br /> mooring owner to have a permit issued by this department. <br /> My thanks to many good citizens who help us out in some of <br /> the difficulties that arise such as boats adrift, buoys off station and <br /> the like. <br /> I it <br /> In particular, I would like to thank Mr. Edward Gargiulo who <br /> !! serves gratis as assistant Harbor Master of Popponesset Bay, for <br /> II' the time and effort he contributes to this department. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> GORDON CROWELL <br /> i <br /> i <br /> i <br />
