January B, 1955.
To the Voters and Taxpayers of the Town of Gulf Stream:
In accordance with our custom of many years we enclose
summary statement of Receipts and Expensce of the Town of Gulf
Stream for the period from October 1, 1953 to September 30, 1954.
These figures are taken from the audit report of Hines and Himes,
certified public accountants who have for a number of years re-
gularly made complete audits of the Towns accounts. These audit
reports are available at the Totim Hall for inspection by any in-
terested voter or taxpayer.
We are glad to report that a successful Polo Season is
expected and it is hoped that some plan will be evolved for 'the
continued use in the future of the fields for polo.
During the past year the question of Beach Protection
of some of our ,dater Front Properties became quite acute. The
Town is having a survey made of the whole ocean front. lllhen this
is completed we plan to call a meeting of the owners of ocean
front properties so that the Town may be advised of what these
property owners desire and draw up suitable ordinances to cover
the whole matter so all will know just what can be done in the
future in the way of Ocean front Protection.
Sincerely,
L. Seton Lindsay
