29 <br /> Report of the Harbor Master <br /> To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: <br /> I hereby submit my report as Harbor Master of the Town <br /> of Mashpee for the year 1957. <br /> Strong currents due to high tides at the close of the <br /> season have washed sand into the channel in Little River <br /> at the entrance to Waquoit Bay, greatly reducing the depth <br /> that was obtained from boat traffic during the past two sea- <br /> sons. At low tide there is not depth enough for an outboard <br /> motor. <br /> During the summer season, considerable damage was <br /> done to channel markers, particularly by the larger boats <br /> running aground in the shallow parts of the channel. Tw'o <br />' trees, which were moved into mid-channel in Great River <br /> by ice, have been removed. <br /> Other obstructions will be removed or marked as soon as <br /> possible. <br /> The following is a listing of time expended as Harbor <br /> Master for 1957: <br /> Ordering and purchasing of materials 40 <br /> Towing, haulout and cutting of obstructions 21 <br /> Placing channel markers 34 <br /> Maintenance of channel markers 20 <br /> Manufacture of channel markers and spars 40 <br /> Posting speed restriction signs 4 <br /> Patrol 4 <br /> Investigation of reported obstructions g <br /> Total hours 171 <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> JOHN A. MOORE, <br /> Harbor Master <br /> i <br /> i <br /> i <br />
