SuD~is~r~M~rt0cchia~op~d'the meeting for discussion of any pr0~Le~s the Fishers Island residents might have. The dredging of West Lake was. discussed. Many residents are in favor of ~he dredging but there w~re objections as to where-a.satisfactory spoil area could be found. ~Mr. Maxwell Po~ter read ~he ~f~ilowing letter and requested that it a part of the records:~ ~' My name is Maxwell Porter. I and my son, Eliot Porter, each own property- on Isab~ella Avenue which adjoins a marshland. 305 In 1934 I built a home which faces south overlooking the marshland and for>the past thirty-six years~have, enjoyed this marsh with its abLu~dance of-interesting birds. There we see Red Wing Black Birds, Yel~ow.'Warblers, Long Billed ,Marsh Wrens, Coopers Hawks, Brown Thrush, Cat Birds and many other species. We ~re 'in favor of the proposed dredging of West Harbor but strenu- ously object to the suggestion of destroying this marshland by filling any part of it with the dredging from the harbor. It is..appa~sntly a.natural drainage and runoff of surface water from the surrounding higher elevations. There is a ditch which is usually effectively kept open preventing this from becoming a mosquito swamp. We assume that the dumping of such dredgings into the marsh.would create a 10ng lasting stench, would obliterate the natumal growth of the marshland, and might affect.the drainage. All this ~mld adversely affect th~ s~rrounding pr0perties. We acknowledge that Such filling might temporarily be'an advantage to ~he present owner of the marsh but would seriously affect the values and w~ll being~of others. We feel certain that~different locations can be found to put the dredgings which woHkd not cause a hardship, a nuisance and an unsightlM mess.to the nearly tax paying land and home owners. Respectfully, Maxwell S. Porter Eliot H. Porter The pollution problem in the harbors was discussed, including the new law on holding tanks on boats. Many residents felt the ferry rates were too high for year round and Senior citizens, he residents requested State or County Aid, since they have no state and~county roads to keep in condition and their only means of transportation to the maintland is by ferry. Recess was called at which time everyone was invited to the Legion Hall where a light lunch and coffee were served by the ladies of Fishers Island. Meeting was reconvened aboard the return boat TEX at 5:00 P.M. Moved by Justice Demarest; seconded by Justice Suter; RESOLVED: That General Bills in the amount of $23,342.11; Highway Biils in the amount of $15,510.07; Lighting Bills in the amount of $4,861.76 and Fishers Island Ferry District Bills in the amount of $15,523.86 be and the same are hereby ordered paid.
