ANNUAL REPORT
:
Report of Park and Tree Department
Newburyport, Mass., January 1, 1947.
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, City of Newburyport, Mass .:
Gentlemen :
I respectfully submit the following report on the Parks and Trees of our city for the year of 1946.
City Parks
Our parks received care which brought much favorable comment from our citizens although only a small regular crew is assigned for this work. We were able to keep the parks clean by using extra men from our other departments at least once a week and oftener during the spring season.
Iu 1946 the parks were given greater use than usual as both public entertainment and sports were active. If this is to continue certain necessary regulations must be enforced or the beauty of our parks will be impaired. Grass must be given a chance to grow.
Michael Cashman Park
A special appropriation for repair work for this recreational center as well as at the Lime Street Playgrounds and at the Water Tank Field was used by our men to do neces- sary work. It was a good start but more funds are needed in 1947 to protect city property and improve playing conditions.
Your superintendent is not in favor of allowing any circus the use of areas at Michael Cashman Park north of the tennis courts. This area is our childrens playground and should not be the object of abuse as is the case when it is let out to circus people.
Moth Department
For the first time since 1942 we were able to cover the entire city for Moth work during the winter and spring months. This was made possible by the thorough work that our men have done for the past several years. Thanks to unfavorable conditions for insect growth the tent caterpillars were easily controlled.
Our Elms received protective sprays for the Elm Leaf Beetle and the Fall Web Worm nests were cut from our city trees.
In 1947 we hope to spray private property for the Fall Web Worm as this pest has become a nuisance.
Trees
A power saw was purchased for the purpose of speeding up the removal of dead and dangerous trees. Although we did not receive this fine piece of equipment until late summer it has already saved us much time and money.
103
PARK AND TREE DEPARTMENT
As tree climbers became more available we used them at every opportunity. Several trees died in 1946 without much warning of their condition and your tree warden sent samples of these trees to Amherst and learned from the State College that it was not caused by the Dutch Elm Disease. However, I feel that only by being constantly alert in regard to our Elms can we hope to prevent this serious infestation. The care of trees in Newburyport, with its hundreds of century old specimens has reached the point where more attention must be given them yearly if we are to keep them safe and vigorous.
Park and Tree Department Headquarters
The building at No. 65 Federal Street is used chiefly by us as a store-room for the equipment of our departments.
Other organizations use this building for meeting places and we keep it warm and in repair. Unless the rooms on the ground floor are painted soon they will soon cease to be a credit to us. This could be done by our men on stormy days rather than to have them lose time. Some painting is also needed on the outside of the building.
Special Assignments
Our department continued to sponsor the Victory Garden program and this has been of practical assistance in many ways
We were called in to prepare City Hall for the annual Harvest Show and to clean up after the show.
Our part in the Home Coming Celebration and parade continued from the time we prepared Bartlett Mall for sport contests, removed all low branches that would have torn the floats in the parade, until we helped to decorate City Hall and assisted in the care of the banquet hall there.
During the skating season our men cleared snow from the Mall Pond. If this practice is to continue it would be more practical to use the tractor plow from the Horton Home. We helped to harvest many tons of ice for the Horton Home and have received valuable help from them.
In all departments I feel that it is not so important to get the good things done as it is to get things done that prevent the bad things from happening.
I wish to acknowledge with appreciation the co-operation of all city departments and the consideration given to our problems by the Mayor and the City Council.
Respectfully submitted, WALTER O. NOYES,
Superintendent of Trees, Moths and Parks.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
Report of the Board of Public Welfare
February 3, 1947.
To His Honor the Mayor and Members of the City Council:
Our report for the year 1946 will show an increase of operating costs in all categories of relief-General Relief, Horton Home and Aid to Dependent Children. This increase can be accounted for in the most part, by the increased costs of goods, materials and supplies.
There was no pronounced increase in caseload until late in the year, and which we might add, is still continuing; although the increased number of requests at this time might be classed as seasonal, in several cases.
The gross cost of Outdoof Relief for the year was $13,542.65 and for Horton Home $11,189.53; and Aid to Dependent Children $17,215.32 for a total of $41,947.50. Reim- bursements and income from all sources totaled $15,719.38, leaving a net cost of $26,228.12.
Since the Department operates, for the most part, under State and Federal laws, we must conform to the policies established by the Social Security Board and the Legis- lature as interpreted by the State Department of Public Welfare.
The Board of Public Welfare appreciates the co-operation it has received in carry- ing on the work of the Department.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD F. MURPHY, JOSEPH L. MCLAUGHLIN,
Board of Public Welfare.
JAMES F. CREEDEN, Welfare Agent.
