This work cannot be measured in dollars and cents.
In previous years a large portion of aid was given in grocery orders. This year we have followed in the new custom of many cities and towns, by giving cash in the way of orders to the City Treasurer.
This is advocated by public and private charitable officials. Before giving aid of this sort we make sure that the recipient is competent to use it prudently. Trade is more evenly divided among the stores.
The members of the Board invite the co-operation of all citizens who are willing to contribute either money, food or clothing, or furniture for families in need, and especially in aid of families who in time of sickness or misfortune may by private relief be prevented from becoming public charges.
We would express our appreciation for the work and services rendered by the City Physician in co-operation with this Board.

In presenting this report for 1919 we wish to express our appreciation for the uniform courtesy of the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen.

THE WORK OF THE YEAR 1919
The Board of Park Commissioners realized this year that more than any other year it was confronted with demands for maintenance and improvements almost impossible to meet under appropriations available. Not only has there been an increased use of our park areas, but also an increased demand for playgrounds and playground apparatus. To meet these conditions has been a source of constant study and conference with citizens resident in various parts of the city.
The work for the year may be divided into the maintenance and development of:
Lincoln School Playground
Messenger's Meadows
Melrose Common
Horace Mann Park
Ell Pond Park
Ell Pond Embankment
Ell Pond Bath House
Sewall Woods Park
In detail the work for the year may be described as follows:
