To the Editors of the Crimson:
In reply to the communication in yesterday's CRIMSON, I wish to state that the present managers of the Weld Boat Club have since last autumn been cognizant of the fact of the late opening of the house last spring, which was caused by the float's being so tightly frozen to the marsh that to try to move it would have meant its destruction. Accordingly care was taken this year to have the float raised on blocks before it was frozen fast, so that it could be put in on the first tide after the ice left the river. Mr. Geo. Weld kindly contributed the money to have the float thoroughly repaired, so that hereafter it will not be submerged at low tide. We have, during the past week, been trying to get a building mover to put it in; we may succeed yet, but if it cannot be moved on rollers, it will surely be put in on the high tide of March 21.
The boats have all been repaired during the winter and the house has been made ready so that it can be opened at once. The large stock of boats has been increased by three new compromises of very light build. Further information regarding the club will be given later.
W. S. YOUNGMAN, Secretary W. B. C.
