QUINCY AVENUE BRIDGE
On January 16, 1956, your Harbor Master, with a committee of three, attended a hearing at the State House on Bill No. 75, in reference to closing the Quincy Avenue Bridge to navigation. With the help of Representative Herbert B. Hollis we protested this bill and on January 26, 1956, the House of Representatives killed this bill.
RULES AND REGULATIONS
On December 3, 1956, your Harbor Master requested the Honorable Board of Selectmen to have Representa- tive Herbert B. Hollis prepare and present to the State Legislature a Bill which would give the Harbor Master authority to make rules and regulations governing boat traffic, mooring and safety the same as other Towns are doing. Mr. Hollis has agreed to take care of this matter.
Respectfully submitted, SEWARD W. TABER, Harbor Master.
EARL F. CONNORS, Assistant Harbor Master.
