31 <br /> I <br /> I <br /> Report of the Beach and Park Commission <br /> I <br /> I <br /> To the Honorable Board of Selectmen <br /> and the Inhabitants of the Town of Mashpee <br /> The report of the Beach and Park Commission is here- <br /> by submitted: <br /> We feel something constructive has been done to im- <br /> prove the crowded conditions which existed at "Attaquin <br /> Park" on Mashpee Lake, during the summer months. <br /> A parking system similar to those of surrounding towns <br /> was set up. 'Transient guests were charged fifty cents per <br /> day. Year round residents were issued stickers free of charge <br /> upon request. Contrary to belief, visitors were willing to pay <br /> the small fee when told the money collected was to be used <br /> by the Town to further improve picnic and bathing facili- <br /> ties.However very little was realized financially this year as the <br /> system did not go into effect until the middle of August. <br /> Hurricane threats, flooding of the parking area and "polio" <br /> I scares kept many away from the beaches. Properly admin- <br /> istered this system will bring added revenue to the Town. It <br /> is very important that the parking area be improved as soon <br /> I as possible. <br /> We wish to thank Mr. Robert Kendall of the Falmouth <br /> Beach Committee who aided us in setting up our beach park- <br /> ing program. <br /> We were able to obtain ten picnic tables through the <br /> help of the Superintendent of Schools Mr. James F. Peebles. <br /> It is hoped that we may be able to build two "cook-outs", a <br /> diving raft and improve the parking area in the near future. <br />
