The meeting was called to discuss the taking of escallops
in Town waters. Mr. KlipppWarned that the action proposed
would not be legally in effect without changing or amending
the existing Town 0rdf~ance and would also be dependent on
a favorable ruling by the Conservation Department.
Mr. Klipp explained the proper procedure to the Baymen
present for requests for any Spee~e~ action that was con-
templated in the future. In view of the urgenc~ he agreed
to consider the resolution the Baymen had presented.
It was reported that at least 100 bushels of escallops
had already wa~ned ashore and that every storm would bring
more and more destruction.
The Trustees held a closed meeting to discuss the proposal
and reconvened to discuss the proposal further wi~h the Baymen.
It was authoritatively stated that the areas opened up last
year did not suffer but benefitted form the taking of the bu~s.
The following resolution was adopted:
