Abstract

Town officials in Wells need permission from 289 property owners to move 109,000 cubic yards of sand from Wells Beach to Casino Square and 59,000 cubic yards to Drakes Island Beach to stem tidal erosion, but around 30 property owners have refused to give their approval to the project. The town is now giving consideration to a plan that would involve moving only the 59,000 cubic yards, and will decide in a week how to proceed. Robert Foley, chairman of the board of selectmen, said the town didn't want to go ahead with the project if so many people were opposed to it.
