Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Board of Harbor and Land Commissioners: For the Years 1899 On Nov. 3, 1898, a hearing was given in New Bedford, on the petition of a joint special committee of the city council of New Bedford, for the revision and re-establishment of harbor lines in New Bedford harbor. All other hearings were given by the Board at its office in Boston. April 14, 1898, the Board refused to grant a permit to the Eastern Dredging Company to dredge in Shirley Gut, for fear of disturbing the metropolitan sewer and the water pipe connection with Deer Island. May 31, 1898, the Board refused to grant a permit to the Bay State Dredging Company to dump dredged material in Mystic River near the shore line, as it could not be done at the place desired consistently with the public interest. June 15, 1898, Frank Rutzen, petitioner for license to build a boat landing in Dorchester Bay, at his own request was given leave to withdraw. June 21, 1898, the Board refused to grant a permit to Chas.E. Davis to dump dredged material in New Bedford harbor, owing to objections on the part of shore residents near the desired locality. Aug. 3, 1898, John Burns, petitioner for license to drive piles and construct blocks for repairing scows in Boston harbor at East Boston, at his own request was given leave to withdraw. Aug. 9, 1898, E. E. Tilden, petitioner for authority to remove stones from the beach at Point Allerton in Hull, was given leave to withdraw, on the ground that such removal would tend to weaken the beach. Oct. 5, 1898, Joseph Hellen, petitioner for license to drive piles in Mystic River in Medford, was given leave to withdraw, as the work proposed would be outside the United States harbor line. The Board has inspected from time to time the work done under appropriations made by the Commonwealth, on the South Boston flats, the Province Lands in Provincetown, and at Osterville, Meuamsha Inlet, Scorton harbor and Green Harbor; also the sites of proposed work in tide water, great ponds and the Connecticut River, covered by petitions and plans filed with the Board.
