Conservation Commission. 113 



Each year it becomes necessary to repair some of the signals, 

 and at intervals to entirely rebuild others, and on new survey 

 work it is generally necessary to have some tripod signals, 

 although as many natural objects are taken as can be used to 

 advantage. 



St. Johnsland signal was erected in form of fifty-foot pole to 

 replace a former pole carried away by storm. I recommend 

 that the signals be inspected in the following spring and repairs 

 made along the 'Staten Island and Long Island coast lines. 



I have also made preliminary layout of Staten Island sound 

 between Eossville and Ward's Point, for which applications have 

 been recently filed. 



In my last annual report I called attention to the fact that 

 applications have been made for oyster leases in Manhassett bay, 

 and that a triangulation survey would be necessary to survey the 

 lots and that a power boat would be necessary while making the 

 survey. During the year the Bureau of Marine Fisheries has 

 obtained such a boat, but it was not put at my disposal for such 

 work. 



I respectfully suggest that proper provision be made to carry 

 on the inspection and repair of the coast signals between Ward's 

 Point, Staten Island, and Orient Point, Long Island. 

 Respectfully submitted, 



CHARLES WYETH, 

 Engineer, Bureau of Marine Fisheries.
