Dea r Mr. Reed: The undersigned association hereby protests the const~lotion of tbe abovl-namsd pier as an impediment to navigation in that it would interfere with aquaplaning and water skiing during fair weather, and it would be a hazard to the snipe raoing whioh takes place almost weekly and in which aa :cmny as fifteen boats oontend, tacking sometimes within 20 to 20 ft. off shore. Further, s~11 boats with outboa~ motors daily use the area within 40 feet off shore and frequently dock their boats on the beaoh, as do oommerial fishermen when they spread their nets from shoreJ also pleasure boats with little d~ft and inboard motors hug the shore when the Gulf waters become rough.
