Gillispie claimed owi.ership ,of _the creek bottom in Dam Pond as out- lined on a map enclosed with the letter. This matter was taken up with the Town Attorney, Robert Tasker, by -letter from the Board of Southold .Town' -Trustees dated _August 5, 1975, .copy .of which is _ attached, . and the opinion of the 'Town Attorney was contained ..in letter of November 3, 1975 copy of which is„also. attached. These indicate that the Board of Southold Town Trustees has no juris- diction in the area of. Dam Pond. It, therefore, becomes a question as to whether or not the Town or the public has a right to seed clams in privately owned property. A determination of this claim would seem to be called.-.for before any seeding operation is performed in the questioned area. Other lands on Dam Pond have not been so proclaimed and the Board of Town Trustees °approve of the planting of clams and the restriction of clamming from -May 10 to June 10, 1977 in those other waters.
