32 <br /> 1 <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> Report of the Forest Warden <br /> To the Honorable Board of Selectmen <br /> Mashpee, Massachusetts <br /> I hereby submit my report for the year ending December <br /> 31, 1957. <br /> During the year there were (23) brush and grass fires. <br /> The one of May 8 being very serious with the loss of about <br /> 450 acres of woodland. I had expected a fire of that type <br /> and had prepared as far as possible for it. The cost of ex- <br /> tinguishing forest fires has been costly but we expect to be <br /> reimbursed for the May 8 fire by the State. <br /> Due to the serious forest fire danger this year a Brush- <br /> Breaker truck was donated by Mr„ J. K. Lilley III, to the Fire <br />'t Department and has been very useful. I feel that the Town <br /> of Mashpee is equipped as well as any community of its size. <br /> The object now is to keep all equipment in good working <br /> order as it has taken much time and labor to bring this De- <br /> partment to its present condition. <br /> i <br /> I wish to thank the Town Officials the residents and Mr. <br /> J. K. Lilley III, for their cooperation. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> ` ELLSWORTH PETERS <br /> Forest Warden <br /> +i <br /> ;h <br /> +1 <br />
