34 <br /> We would like to have the town fill in the adjacent area <br /> to the Seconsett beach. It would provide an excellent park- <br /> ing area and do much to remove the offensive odors of the <br /> stagnant water. <br /> We are anxious to establish toilet facilities at Attaquin <br /> Park. A shallow well pump housed in a cement block house <br /> with two toilet rooms would cost approximately $2500. Our <br /> hesitation in asking for the funds is the added expense of <br /> running an electric light line to the park. <br /> We would like to see a pier or ramp made at Seconsett <br /> Bleach and at Mashpee Lake for the many small boat en- <br /> thusiasts. <br /> It is our hope that through our Selectmen, the adjoin- <br /> ing beach and picnic area, now owned by the State and form- <br /> erly used by the National Guard be added to our park. This <br /> would double the size of our lake frontage and make this <br /> one of the best picnic areas on Cape Cod. <br /> Mr. Francis Sargent, director of Natural Resources has <br /> plans in his report for the development of a state beach at <br /> South Cape Beach and a state park along the Mashpee River. <br /> These projects may have some value in opening new areas <br /> to the public. There are dangers too,the Cape Cod Park Com- <br /> missioners have recently pointed out in the local press that <br /> the town will not only lose land of the finest areas we possess <br /> but have little-or no control of concessions or a voice in regu- <br /> lations of said parks once they are developed. <br /> We wish to express our appreciation to the various town <br /> officials, and to the citizens of the Town who have cooperated <br /> with our department in helping us to make improvements <br /> during the past year. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> ELMONT B. TOBEY <br /> KENNETH COOMBS <br /> Park Commissioners <br />
