The Playgrounds Association has continued its good work in the city, and funds contributed by citizens and a sum of $2,500 appropriated by the city for the special equipment of grounds and supervision of playfields during the summer months have been expended under the direction of the school committee.

CITY ENGINEER.
Certain areas were used in the city's parks, playgrounds, and schoolyards, which had been equipped with swings, sand boxes, and various kinds of gymnastic apparatus, and instruc- tors were employed during the months of July and August. Many children enjoyed themselves at these outdoor kinder- garten schools, while the larger boys were instructed in base- ball, basket ball, and other games, and in the use of gymnastic apparatus, teams being formed and athletic competitions held between the various teams, and at the end of the summer sea- son a carnival was held at the city's new athletic field and an exhibition given on Central Hill park.
Probably still better results in this city could be obtained by establishing a system with a permanent director of athletics and gymnastics who would have charge and instruct in every form of athletics and recreation ; including all sports and games for the high schools, grammar schools, and all others using the city's playfields and buildings.
The new "Somerville Field" located in the northwesterly part of the city, bordered by Powder House boulevard and Ale- wife 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 in- come the city has received during the past year amounted to $489.00.
Some small improvements have been made during the year, but the temporary shower-baths and sanitaries under the grand-stand should be placed in a permanent building, a section of the grand-stand covered. and progress made in the develop- ment of the large ungraded portion of the field; an appropria- tion 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 fu- ture 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 second to none in the state.
The city's assessment for Metropolitan parks and boule- vards for the year 1913 amounted to $18,242.95 on construction account, $17,914.65 being the proportional cost for maintaining the same ; in addition to this the city's special assessment for the Charles River Basin construction and maintenance amounted to $6,349.56 ; for the improvement of Alewife brook and main- tenance of same, $1,222.50; and for the maintenance of Wel- lington bridge across Mystic river, $631.31.
The total of the above assessments amounts to $44,360.97, being Somerville's proportional payment to the state on account of the Metropolitan park system for the year 1913.
The total assessment paid to the state for parks and boule- vards amounts to $447,836.91, January 1, 1914, and the only length of state boulevard at present constructed in this city con- sists of seven-tenths of a mile of double roadway, located in the easterly part of the city, and extending between Broadway 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.
