Bash Script to ssh into a macOS and execute a local script

Question

I used the following command to initiate a ssh connection to a remote macOS .Objective is to perform successful ssh login and mount a particular network share (via the mount.sh script).The script mount.sh when stored and executed on the remote macOS works fine.The script intakes user inputs and mounts the same into a user defined mount point.But am stuck whenever I would try to locally execute the script-mount.sh on the remote system via ssh.

In fact the ssh login works well but the script-mount.sh doesn't gets executed.

 #!/bin/bash

read -p "Enter  Username: " username
    ssh $username@<Server IP> "$(< mount.sh)"

Any suggestions/advice to improve the code are welcome :).

The mount.sh script code :

    #!/bin/bash
read -p "Enter the name of share mount :" lpmount
echo ""
read -p "Enter your  User name: " username
echo ""
read -p "Enter the year (e.g. 2018,2019) :" year
mkdir /Gross/$lpmount
mount_smbfs //$username@<Server-IP>/Evi/$year /Gross/$lpmount
mount_status=$? # Checks if the mounting was successfull.
if [ $mount_status -eq 0 ]
then
        echo ""
        echo "Share mounted SUCCESSFULLY! at /Gross/$lpmount"
        sleep 3
else
        echo ""
        echo " Share not mounted SUCCESSFULLY! at/Gross/$lpmount"

fi
