4. Provide a lifeguard roster of Wayland personnel if possible.
5. The Park Commissioner would appoint an advisory committee of three persons to assist them in setting up the necessary programs and needs. This committee would assist only on problems at the Beach.
6. Provide additional picnic benches and fireplaces, plus some equipment for small children.
Generally speaking, the Park Department maintains all Town-owned lands, exclusive of highways and cemeteries.
An honest-to-goodness effort will be made this coming year to pro- vide a continuance of skating at the Mill Pond and on Dudley Pond.
The Park Commissioners wish to thank the people of the Town for the interest they have shown in the operations of their department and to also thank the many Town Officials and their departments, for the help they have extended to them.
The following list will give the Town an approximate idea of the number of areas that were maintained during the past year:
