Mr. Blount the Harbor master was present with Mr. Harmon of the
DPW and Mr. Beuscher and Mr. Walters of the U. S. Army Eng.
to discuss the matter of the appropriation by the Fed. Gev.
and the proposed dredging in the harbor. It appeared from
discussion that Fed. regulations make it mandatory to provid,
disposal areas withiu~ a distance of 1500 feet, this matter
was explored at some length it appearing that the only area
available was just over the Eastern Jetty and this would
have some effect on shellfish. It finally came down to the'
question as to whether or not this work was actually needed
zmzEz Mr. Blount the harbor master felt we had plenty of
water in the anchorage area to take care of any vessells
using the harbor, and that in his opinion money spent in
theis proposed area was not needed. The matter of using the
money in other areas in the harbor where all admitted it
would be more desireable was discussed and the Army Rep.
advised that this could not be done this money was part of
an omninbus bill based on an old survey and was directed to
that particular project and none other. After much discussio
the matter was left with no decision the board apparently
feeling that we should discuss this matter further with outh
interested parteis in the town before making a final decisio
M~. Hanuon discussed the matter of erosion and flooding and felt
that the state could be of more assistance that' the Army
Eng. and suggested that we write the Army and withdraw ou~
request for a cooperative study of this area. It was so
voted.
Mr. Blount the Harbor master and Mr. Crowley of the U. S. C. G.
presented suggested regulations governing speed of boats
water skieiug etcl in the harbor, same were discussed and
it was the feeling that we should have a meeting with in-
terested parties before taking any action on these. Copy of
proposed regulations are attached hereto.
Various letters were received f~om the Chamber of Commerece relat
to discussion at the Courtesy town meeting and offering thei
help in any way possible.
Word was re ceived that the state reclamation board were engaged
in spraying the island agains$ mosquitoes at our request.
The Garden Club (Mrs Yates) wrote advising that they would like

all possible to undertake this matter.
