On behalf of myself, members of my department. I wish to thank the Honorable Board of Selectmen for their support and co-operation.

Report of Herring Inspector


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen.


Following is the report of your Herring Inspector for 1958.


Excessive rains, causing flood waters four differ- ent times during the catching season, curtailed the number of days it was possible to fish. It did not, however, stop the run-through too much, as many were seen going upstream through a four-foot waterfall.


The run was good compared to former years, and sales nearly equaled expenses.


Once again your Inspector only caught for the retail demand, so as to increase the run to the size of former years.


Two square nets, hand woven, the size used at this Weir, were made, so no new ones will be needed for several years.


In closing I wish to thank the Police Department for their cooperation in helping to keep poaching down to a minimum.


Respectfully submitted,


CHARLES H. DEXTER,


Herring Inspector

WHARF COMMISSIONER REPORT


I would like to take this opportunity to thank all who have cooperated with me during my first year as your Wharf Commissioner.


This year we placed Five-Mile-an-Hour speed limit signs at all wharves. Also we asked everyone


119


to take home their trailers for the summer instead of leaving them at the wharf property.


There were many out of town boats visiting our harbor this summer, and receiving the courtesy of our four guest moorings.


Our launching ramp was used extensively all summer, in many cases by out of town guests boating in our harbor for one day only.


Again my thanks to one and all for your help and courtesy.


Respectfully submitted,


WILLIAM P. SUZAN, JR. Wharf Commissioner

Report on Propagation of Shellfish


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :


I hereby submit my annual report of the shellfish conditions of our Town :


GENERAL SHELLFISH CONDITIONS


Excluding scallops our shellfish supply for the past year has continued to be good. We still have plenty of oysters for the three towns for family use and as it appears at this time, there will be for years to come.


Due to conditions in our oyster areas, in order for the oysters to thrive and be easy to obtain, it is neces- sary to have them transplanted which cultivates them in all locations.


Our quahog supply is fairly good considering the small amount of money appropriated for propagation which includes the purchasing of quahogs, transplant- ing oysters, posting areas and other items.


When closing an area for restocking quahogs the plans are to select a location where there are small seed quahogs if possible; and with the Selectmen's approval have the area closed for three years, giving the seed time to mature.


Our clam supply is increasing rapidly. The Select- men opened the areas for clam digging for the month of October, and for weekends during the month of November. They are now closed for taking clams until further notice.


We have a good clam seed set of all sizes. The increase in size is approximately 3/4 inch yearly.


124


SHELLFISH TRANSPLANTED


300 bu. of oysters were transplanted at Matta- poisett River at a cost of $450.00. The Town of Roches- ter allocated $345.00 for this purpose.


2651/2 bu. of quahogs were obtained via Division Marine Fisheries and transplanted in our areas.


AREAS CLOSED


Contaminated area by State Board of Health yearly from entrance to Eel Pond Creek, east to foot of Ship Street.


The Selectmen have one area closed at this time.


Flats and waters west of an imaginary line drawn from Rycroft Point being a point of land plainly visible at the waters edge, northerly to the south end of the foundation of an old stone wharf at Shining Tides, commonly called King's Estate.


Thank you Board for your cooperation; also Frank LeBaron, Shellfish Officer, for his assistance.


Respectfully submitted,


E. EVERETT ELDRIDGE,


(In charge of Town Shellfish Interests)

Report of Civil Defense


To the Citizens of the Town of Mattapoisett:


Through the efforts of the assistant director (Loren H. Mosher), the civil defense staff and myself, we have bought during the past year various equip- ment which could be used in either a natural disaster or an enemy attack, from the Surplus Supply Depot. We have acquired fourteen revolvers for the Auxiliary Police, through the Surplus Property Program. The air horn which has been accepted by the Town and the Federal Government has paid its share through the Matching Fund Program, which is a very good program for the townspeople, because for every dollar spent of the town appropriated funds, it is being matched by the same amount from Federal Funds, which will re- flect a great savings to the taxpayers. During the year the Water Superintendent went to a civil defense school pertaining to contamination of water during an enemy attack and two men were sent to radiological school, to learn how to detect fallout after an attack.


I believe that many of our citizens expect a civil defense to be built somewhere and shipped out to them, complete and functioning. There are even more, per- haps, who would be willing to buy civil defense just as they buy military defense with their tax dollars. They miss the point that since nuclear war would affect everyone, there would be no one to employ. No-we can't buy civil defense-we must live it. Civil defense is everyone's business. We must be prepared and every- one must work together.


For the cooperation extended by the Honorable Board of Selectmen and other town officials during the


5


129


past year, I wish, on behalf of my assistant, civil de- fense staff and for myself, to express appreciation.


In closing I would like to leave this thought with the people of Mattapoisett - - ALERT TODAY ALIVE TOMORROW.


Respectfully submitted,


DONALD LINHARES,

Plymouth County Aid to Agriculture


by Robert B. Ewing, County Agent-Manager


The Plymouth County Extension Service (Trustees, Plymouth County Aid to Agriculture), is located in the Court House, Brockton. In cooperation with the University of Massachusetts and the United States De- partment of Agriculture, it provides information to Plymouth County citizens dealing with the Home, 4-H Club Work, and Agriculture.


Increased requests for information about the Home and Home Grounds have come as more people move into our Plymouth County towns from the city. This information has been provided through meetings, news releases, radio, special activities, telephone, letters, etc.


Citizens of this town should realize that this is a service provided by the County, State, and Federal governments and large numbers of people are availing themselves of the opportunity to secure helpful in- formation concerning the Home, Home Grounds, 4-H Club Work, and Agriculture. Requests for such in- formation should be directed to the Plymouth County Extension Service, Court House, Brockton, Mass.


Funds for County Aid to Agriculture are derived principally from the County. Some Federal funds are also made available through the University of Massa- chusetts. Most towns in Plymouth County make a token appropriation which is used for the general ex- penditures of the Plymouth County Extension Service. Town Directors are appointed in those towns where an appropriation is made. These Town Directors are un- paid volunteer leaders who serve as the Extension Ser- vice representatives in their respective towns.
