The new "Somerville Field" located in the northwesterly part of the city, bordered by Powder House boulevard and Alewife brook, has proven to be very popular with the various clubs and athletic teams in our city, and a number of outside school teams and associations have had the use of this field, the income the city has received during the past year amount- ing to $1,305.
Some small improvements have been made during the year, temporary shower-baths and sanitary placed under the grand-stand, etc., but no progress made in the development of the large ungraded portion of the field ; an appropriation should be made annually for this purpose.
If this area is laid out and completed as originally de- signed, Somerville will have the finest recreation field owned by any city, and would include areas for baseball, football, basket ball, tennis, cricket, croquet, playfield for children, out- door gymnasium, running track, swimming pool. and boating and skating on the brook, a concrete grand-stand and field houses, equipped with shower baths, lavatories, dressing rooms. lockers, etc. In the 1910 report a plan was published showing the proposed laying out.
An area owned by the city, and known as the Collins and Ham ledge property, located on Clarendon Hill, near the Cam- bridge boundary line, might be developed in the future into a pretty pleasure park, similar in nature to the Powder House park; also, the Holland-street ledge property, owned by the

city, and situated in West Somerville, could be developed in the future by laying out a portion of the area for streets and house lots, and the remainder used for a children's playground.
There are a number of vacant lots in the city owned by private parties, large enough for the purpose of establishing recreation grounds and breathing spaces, which undoubtedly could be obtained for short-term leases by payment of the taxes to the owner of the property, and be of great benefit to a large number in the congested parts of the city.
With all these various parcels of land referred to properly developed in the future as parks, playgrounds, and resting places, the city will be amply provided for in this line, and sec- ond to none in the state.
The city's assessment for Metropolitan parks and boule- vards for the year 1912 amounted to $18,056.76 on construction account, $14,992.66 being the proportional cost for maintaining the same; in addition to this, the city's special assessment for the Charles River Basin amounted to $2,971.97 on construction account and $2,102.89 for maintenance; for the improvement of Alewife brook, $750.00, for maintenance of same, $498.75; and for the maintenance of Wellington bridge across Mystic river, $527.47.
The total of the above assessments amounts to $39,900.50, being Somerville's proportional payment to the state on ac- count of the Metropolitan park system for the year 1912.
The total assessment paid to the state for parks and boule- vards amounts to $403,475.94 January 1, 1913, and the only length of state boulevard at present constructed in this city consists of seven-tenths of a mile of double roadway, located in the easterly part of the city, and extending between Broad- way and Mystic river, and four-tenths of a mile bordering Mystic river at the West Medford line.
In the 1910 report a table was published showing the area, year acquired, cost of land, cost of construction, present valua- tion, etc., of all city parks and playgrounds.
