ANNUAL REPORT
Report of Park Commissioners
Honorable Mayor and Municipal Council;
January 21, 1943
We enclose herewith our Superintendent's report as well as the Playground Supervisors, for 1942, both of which speak for themselves.
Also enclosed find our budget for 1943, including $1,400. additional wages for our Superintendent and Laborers. In view of the fact we have only five steady laborers who are underpaid with the present scale of wages, we ask for $1,400 for bonus, or $20.00 per month. This is the only way we can expect to keep our help satisfied for this year. We are not asking for any further additional amount, but the money asked for is very essential and necessary to keep up Capron Park, Angell Square and Hebronville Square.
We want to take this opportunity to thank our Superintendent, the Police and Fire Departments, as well as the employees of the Park, for the splendid co- operation given us during 1942.
Very respectfully yours, S. M. Stone, Chairman H. C. Wolfenden T. G. Sadler Park Commission
To the Board of Park Commissioners, Attleboro, Mass.
I, herewith, submit my eighteenth annual report as Superintendent of Parks for the year ending December 31, 1942.
Our regular work of maintaining the care of Capron Park, Blackinton Park, Angell Park, the Common, and the triangle at Hebronville kept the regular em- ployees busy all the time. Due to conditions it was impossible to hire extra help when needed but we managed to keep the Rock Garden, Flower Beds, and the vegetable garden at the City Infirmary in good order. The vegetable garden pro- duced 136 bushels of vegetables for the animal s at the Park.
The Newell Shelter, after serving the public of Attleboro for 31 years, was given a thorough overhauling, with the exception of the roof. We were not able to obtain the tile necessary for same and may not for the duration. All broken cement railings and caps were replaced and broken corners and edges repaired. All the cement work was given three coats of cement paint and the steel frame and plank ceiling given two coats of paint. Five new windows were installed to give more light in the Rest Rooms, also two new doors, four new toilets, new urinal, new gutters and conductors. All woodwork was given two coats of paint. A cement sidewalk, seven foot wide, was constructed around the building. The above work was done at a cost of $1,300.00, taken from the Harford A. Capron Fund. This building was donated to the City by Mrs. Fred Newell in 1911 in memory of her husband, Mr Fred Newell.
A new building and wire inclosure was built to house "King" the Lion Cub. The cost of same was $900.00, sponsored by the Lions Club and Harford A. Cap- ron Fund.
67
ANNUAL REPORT
During 1941-1942, Mr. Albert Goodall, the Kiddies friend, donated the fol- lowing animals to Capron Park Zoo: 1 Lion Cub, 1 Black Bear, 1 Kinkajou, 1 Ocelot, 1 Spider Monkey, 1 Ant Eater, 1 Wildcat, 1 Alligator, 2 Opossums, 1 Porcupine, 1 Ground Hog, 1 Rhesus Monkey, 2 Green Vervet Monkeys, 4 Para- keets, 4 Finches, 1 Owl and 1 Peach Throated Parakeet.
We wish that Mr. Goodall could spend more time at the Park so that he could see the fun the children get looking at the animals.
The Hunton swimming pool and playground had an increase of 15 per cent in attendance this year over 1941. The Shelter House, Horse-Shoe Courts and Playground equipment were constantly in use, but due to our young men joining the armed forces and shortage of Tennis Balls, the Tennis and Baseball playing fell off considerably.
I wish to express my thanks to His Honor, the Mayor, and to the Park Com- missioners for their help and cooperation at all times. Also, to the playground supervisors for their effort in promoting the health and welfare of the children at the Park Playground.
Respectfully submitted. John E. Anderson Park Superintendent
Report of Recreation Commissioners
Dear Mayor.
In 1942 one section of the concrete bleachers at Hayward Field was completed. It is proposed to build two additional sections. This will enable the football field to be separated from the baseball field. Thus, the annual maintenance cost of the baseball field will be substantially reduced and the conditions for watching foot- ball games will be greatly improved.
At Horton field a stone stairway to the railroad bridge at Starkey Avenue was completed. This was a long needed improvement.
The Board was pleased to cooperate in maintaining the new Willett School playground by cutting the large area of lawn. A protective chain link fence was installed at the Dodgeville playground at the joint expense of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad and the city. This is a most important feature since it may save some children using the playground from serious injury.
The Briggs playground was again an extremely busy spot. Activities were carried on under the supervision of Messrs. William Madden, James Cassidy and Miss Helen Bruen. A large number of children were taught to swim. Regular classes were held. The children cooperated splendidly in all of the activities.
The Board feels that a great deal is being accomplished in Attleboro in its reczeational program, but believes that there is still need for additional facilities.
68
ANNUAL REPORT
We wish to acknowledge the wonderful cooperation of Robert W. Mawney, Superintendent of Public Works, and his department. Without his help and the loan of equipment, it would be impossible to maintain the playground areas in the present good conditions without substantially increasing appropriations.
All the members of the Board pledge our best efforts for the coming year.
Respectfully yours,
Recreation Commission George T. Oldham, Chairman Louis J. Guillette, Secretary Ara Berberian Thomas H. Moore Leo Hennessey
Report of the Sealer of Weights and Measures
To His Honor the Mayor and Municipal Council, Attleboro, Mass.
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit my report for 1942.
This department has co-operated with Public Safety Committees of the Com- monwealth and O. P. A. on several occasions in a capacity of statistics, investi- gations and reports.
During the year, 1361 articles were tested and 660 various commodities re- weighed including coal, ice, food packages, bread, vegetables and dry commodities, 14 special city licenses were granted and 2 local.
In connection with the Nation Wide Program against inflation this depart- ment is often called on because of the particularly good position to observe prac- tices relative to prices, rationing and so forth.
Respectfully submitted, Dan O'Connell Sealer of Weights and Measures
