REPORT OF THE MERRIMAC TOWN FOREST COMMITTEE TO JANUARY 1, 1935
To the Board of Selectmen: :-
14,000 red pine trees were set out on our forest land this year. 12,000 trees were planted in the new forest area, and 2,000 were planted on the water-shed tract. This makes a total of 55,000 trees set out since our forest was first established, December 11, 1923, and con- firmed by vote at Town Meeting, March 3, 1924.
Projects have been financed by the Government this last year on our forest lands. One project was on the water-shed, where about 100

cords of wood. We expect projects for wood cutting for the year 1935 wood was also sold by them, and the money credited to their account.
Two projects were completed this fall. The Old County Road, leading to Red Oak Hill, was reconstructed. Twelve acres were burned over and cleared, ready for setting trees this spring. The Selectmen provided men during the last few weeks of the year and they cut 211/2 cords of wood. We expect projects for wood cutting for the year 1935 will be approved by the Government.
The Massachusetts Forest and Park Association in December asked if a dam could be built in our forest for storage of water for boating, fishing and other recreational purposes. We replied that this could be done. It may be possible to have this done without expense to the town.
The amount of money voted for the Town Forest this year was $100.00. There remains a balance of $37.94 from this amount.

The revenue received from the Town Forest has returned to the town all money appropriated for its care and now has a balannce.
We note with regret the death of Mr. Charles R. Ford during the past year. Mr. Ford had been a member of the Town Forest Com- mittee since the establishment of a Town Forest, and was interested in its development.

MERRIMAC TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF KIMBALL PARK
To the Selectmen and Citizens of Merrimac :-
As Trustees of this Department of Town Property we would make this our Annual Report, the 26th of its existence.
We have received as income from Trust Funds (which is our only support) :
Judith Kimball Fund
$32.85
Amos Weed Fund
76.05
$108.90
We have paid for expenses
Plants, Roy Hoyt
$2.00
Fertilizer, Kirkpatrick

$72.00
$36.90
We have in Merrimac Savings Bank as source of income: Judith Kimball Fund $1,000.00
Amos Weed Fund 2,076.05
$3,076.05
Of this amount $1,000.00 was given by Judith Kimball and was accepted by the town as a permanent fund, the income only to be used for Park purposes, and her brother Amos Weed willed an amount to the town which was the balance of his estate and amounted at that time to $1,860.86 and thé accumulations place it now to $2,076.05 which we would like to have the town place as the other account at $2,000.00 for the permanent account below which it shall not be drawn the same idea as the Kimball Fund.

REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF CEMETERIES
To the Selectmen and Citizens of Merrimac:
The three cemeteries of town have received our best care and at- tention this year, as in all years, and we think we can show results.
We have not been able to do as much in the older sections as we did last year because we could not get as much welfare help as we
24
MERRIMAC TOWN REPORT
did last year, but we have effset that by having more government mon- ey for new work on "Locust Grove Addition" for which we have re- ceived $1,144.
After which we had the whole field ploughed and grubbed when we secured the services of Mr. A. L. Rice of Amesbury who plotted the lots and laid out the drives which have been worked and covered with a good coat of gravel making a good surface for travel. We were obliged to furnish this part for material and trucks ourselves.
This was paid for out of the Contigent Fund amounting to about $300. and was accumulated during Mr. Larkin's term of office, and has been kept several years for this purpose.
Our appropriation is one half what it was a few years ago and the work is larger, but we have tried to get along with it, in view of the hard times, but now we feel that we must absolutely have an in- crease next year to survey and draw plans for the laying out of lots on the borders of Locust Grove.
When the present plans were drawn the center was filled in but the borders were blank, but now many lots have been sold here but as they are not laid down on the plan therefore it is very difficult to give out deeds in these locations so that we can be sure of our po- sitions. We estimate it will cost about $100. to do this so we will ask for an appropriation of this amount at the next town meeting.
