Report of the Park Commissioners for 1914.
To the Citizens of Attleboro:
The Park Commissioners herewith submit their report for the year ending December 31, 1914.
No extensive work of permanent construction has been accomplished, owing to the lack of funds, but quite a few smaller improvements have been added. These items do not appear to amount to much in themselves, but in aggregate they assume considerable.
Perhaps the most important improvement was the laying of granolithic walks from steps in front of the shelter building to drive. A hedge of three hundred barberry plants was set next to drive bordering pond, also a lot of filling done in different sections of the Park. A piece of swamp land adjoining Mr. Hinds' land was graded and seeded. It took a large quantity of material to do the work. New lines of pipe were installed underground for watering purposes. The buildings, settees and trellises were all painted. New gutters and conductors were installed on Casino building. Dressing and fertilizer is quite an item every year. Lights on drives, shelter and zoo have to be paid for out of the regular appropriation.
143
ANNUAL REPORT
Standing room about the Newell Shelter has been very limited on special occasions such as Fourth of July. It has been impossible for the people to stand around the shelter without tramp- ing down more or less shrubbery. There is a high knoll at the east side of the shelter former- ally occupied with a variety of hardy plants and flowers which the Park Commissioners thought advisable to take up and transfer to other sec- tions of the Park. Last fall this plan was car- ried out, knoll graded all ready to seed early this coming spring. It will be a decided improve- ment, because the people standing on the knoll will be able to look over the heads of people standing about the shelter.
With the cooperation of the Water Commis- sioners, we were able to lay water pipes from the drive into the pond, a distance of about four hundred feet. The Water Commissioners were very interested in trying to help us out, so much, that they furnished the pipe and fittings, mostly second hand, but it answered the purpose just as well. Without their help it would have been impossible to do the work this fall. There would have been no skating this winter if the town had not furnished the water as it was four feet lower than usual before freezing.
Through the kindness and help of some of our patriotic citizens in lending us the animals, we were able to fill two pens of the zoo with pheasants. The Park Commissioners have the same offer of these for next year. Mr. E. E. King, the Florist donated some bedding plants. These were planted near the merry-go-rounds. Mr. H. W. Vose, of the Flower Shop, donated two express wagon loads of these, which were planted in front of shelter building.
144
ANNUAL REPORT
A great many people have inquired of us what becomes of the animals when the zoo is closed for the winter and as there have been so many questions asked we thought it advisable to give a little light on the subject. Park Commissioner, John E. Anderson volunteered to care for the pea- cocks. Superintendent Solon D. Bushee takes care of the geese, ducks, squirrels and pigeons. The monkeys were sent back to New York as we had no proper place to care for them. The zoo has been very popular, especially with the children.
After paying for maintenance there is not enough money to make permanent improvements to any extent. The maintenance increases every year.
The Commissioners hereby recommend a few of the most necessary improvements for the year of 1915.
The drives are in deplorable condition. They should be resurfaced with some material to with- stand the frequent heavy rains. The entrance at the junction of County and Dennis St., is in a poor condition and ought to be improved this year. On the Dennis St. side there has been nothing done in the way of improvement, brush and brier growing on the side of the street. The ground ought to be ploughed, loomed, and graded. The main drive from Dennis Street side ought to be improved and trees set on each side of the drive.
The Park Commissioners would like to en- large the pond; by so doing, it would be more attractive. It would also have a more finished appearance and furnish greater space to skate on as it has been well patronized this winter. The Park Commissioners recommend a wading pool
145
ANNUAL REPORT
to be located on the east side of pond and higher than the main pond so as to be able to let the water out of the wading pool into main pond. We could then fill wading pool with clean water as often as necessary for the health of the children. The children for the past two summers have been using the fountain for a wading pool, but owing to the fountain being so near the street and the residences on County Street a good deal of com- plaint has come before the Park Commissioners on account of the childrens' hilarity.
The Park is often admired by strangers, and by many of our citizens for its natural surround- ings. Well it may be said, that nature's work was never shown to a better advantage than in this park, with its hills, valleys and nooks.
The City of Attleboro has a population of nearly 20,000, and there seems to be every reason to believe that our city has a great future before it. In all our plannings this future must be kept in mind. The Park is the lungs of the city, where people can draw a full breath of fresh air.
The Park Commissioners are justified in say- ing that they are well pleased with what has been accomplished this year, considering the amount at their disposal.

Park Commissioners.
