21 <br /> Report of the Harbor Master <br /> To the Honorable Board of Selectmen <br /> Y <br /> I hereby submit my report as Harbor Master of the Town <br /> of Mashpee for the year ending December 31, 1956. <br /> i <br /> Seven Markers were placed in Little River and on the <br /> sand bar entering Waquoit Bay. <br /> Due to light traffic, caused by a poor bluefish season, <br /> channel depth was not as good as the previous year. This <br /> i depth is obtained from propeller wash from the larger <br /> motor boats and is lost during the winter months due to <br /> storms and tides which shift sand and fill the channel. <br /> Signs were posted restricting speed to five miles per hour, <br /> and prohibiting water skiing in Little River. <br /> The past three seasons have produced a large increase <br /> in boat traffic,particularly in boats over twenty feet in length. <br /> Boats up to forty feet in length have entered the river <br /> for storage, repairs and dockage, and it is only with extreme <br /> difficulty that they are able to cross the bar. Dredging is <br /> the only satisfactory solution to this problem. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> JOHN A. MOORE, <br /> Harbor Master <br /> i <br /> F . <br />
