35 <br /> Report of the Park Commissioners <br /> To the Honorable Board of Selectmen <br /> and Citizens of the Town of Mashpee: <br /> We hereby submit our report for the year ending Decem- <br /> ber 31, 1958. <br /> Additional areas at Attaquin Park were cleared of fallen <br /> trees and protruding stumps. Dead trees were cut down and <br /> removed to the town dump, giving more room for the new <br /> oaks and other shade trees to grow properly. <br /> Poison Ivy was rooted up and destroyed. The picnic <br /> tables and sparking area posts were repainted. The beach was <br /> raked and cleaned at regular intervals and refuse removed <br /> periodically. <br /> The rainy weekends throughout the summer kept the <br /> large visiting crowds to a minimum. <br /> The beach at Seconset is in poor shape. The beach is <br /> small and at high tide is nearly completely under water. <br /> When the tide recedes, deposits of grass often are left be- <br /> hind. It would be a worthy, but a costly, project to raise the <br /> beach and Mill in a part of the swamp across the main -toad <br /> as a parking area. Unless the beach is raised within the next <br /> few years it may wash away entirely. <br /> We wish .to thank the police department in helping to <br /> prohibit "beach parties" and in keeping "campers" off the <br /> beaches after closing hours. <br />
