Yachtsmen in the upper and lower bay
are complaining OF the mass OF drIftwood
and flotsam I'm the water of the harbor
this season. Not In many years has the
bay been so covered with splleheads,
broken and water soaked spiles and other
heavy timber az II has been during the last
few weeks. This heavy drift threatens
the safety of motor boats. In several in
stances small vessels have struck floating
debris at night injuring the propeller or
knocking holes through the planking, en-
dangering life.
Boatmen say these conditions are due
to the laxity Of the enforcement of the
laws against throwing logs and sples
adrift 10y dockbuilders and others
During the last few days, owing 10 the
heavy southerly wind, the beaches and
lower bay have been covered with small
y"nd and braken boxes.
