TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF KIMBALL PARK
To the Citizens of the Town of Merrimac :
The Trustees of Kimball Park in making their third annual report would say that during the past year the park has been brought into a more finished state.
We completed grading last spring and under the di- rection of Mr. F. W. Spinney of Haverhill shrubs were. planted, grass seed sown and paths laid out, so that dur- ing the past summer, as you have probably noticed, the- park began to show some of its beauties.
Soon after the shrubs were planted the extremely dry weather began and we think many of them would have died had not the Water Commissioners laid a sup- ply pipe to the centre of the park, thus allowing us to water the shrubs with a hose, for which they have our- thanks.
