TOWN REPORT
PLAYGROUND COMMISSION REPORT
The Commission has attempted to establish a plan for the grad- ual development and construction of the Locust Street Playgrounds without entailing the expense of professional architectural fees. Such a plan would include eventually general landscaping, improved base- ball and football field, tennis courts, outdoor basketball court, horse- shoe pits, soft ball field, track and other advantages commonly found on modern playgrounds.
As the first step in this development, the Commission has caused to be made a topographical map showing the boundaries and eleva- tions of the property, such a map being necessary before any suitable layout could be made or any proposition submitted to Government or other authorities.
It was felt that one of the first units of construction might be a tennis court or courts; therefore the possibilities of a W. P. A. project, to include three first class tennis courts and some additional grading, were investigated. The expense of such a project on a W. P. A. basis was so great that the proposition was revised downward to include only a single court and some grading but when this was finally sub- mitted to W. P. A. authorities, the rule had been changed so that instead of the possibility of having the entire expense of the project borne by the Federal Government, it was decreed that the Town would have to contribute 20% of the total cost of the project regard- less of the division of labor and material. Inasmuch as the Commis- sion had no authority and did not wish to impose any additional ex- pense on the Town at the time, this project was dropped.
During the past six months the Commission has seen no way in which to make any material progress. It is the intention to proceed with any playground development as soon as an opportunity presents itself or can be created. Most of the $50 appropriated at the 1936 annual town meeting has been spent for maps and preparation of project propositions and it is suggested that another $50 be ap- propriated so as to create a small reserve to work on if and when it can be used to advantage.
The year marked the passing of Dr. Frederick E. Sweetsir, not
42
TOWN REPORT
only several times member of the Playground Commission, but a true and efficient servant of the Town in his profession and in the numerous public offices entrusted to him during a long and active career. In the words of Robert Burns it can truthfully be said of him,
"The friend of man, the friend of truth, The friend of age, and guide of youth: Few hearts like his, with virtue warm'd, Few heads with knowledge so informed: If there's another world, he lives in bliss;
If there is none, he made the best of this."

REPORT OF CEMETERY TRUSTEES
To the Selectmen and Citizens of Town of Merrimac:
We take pleasure in reporting the improvement of our principal cemetery, in that while the central portion has been largely occupied we have been able with W. P. A. help to open up a large section for burials, both on top of the hill and in the valley, the latter part how- ever is not yet ready for sale, but will when completed give us ap- proximately three hundred additional lots. We hope to get a further W. P. A. project to complete this and also to improve the roads on the side hill thus preventing washout and giving a smooth surface for driving.
We have made a great improvement at the entrance, bringing it more in line with modern cemeteries.
We have done the usual work required for the care of the grounds in all three cemeteries but we feel more and more each year that there should be special work done in preserving and caring for the old cemeteries in mapping the ancient graves and working the grounds
43
TOWN REPORT
so that the grass may be kept in better condition, and walls rebuilt, but this will cost a good deal of money, and we do not feel like ask- ing the town for a large appropriation and our only way seems to be at the present time to get W. P. A. project while the opportunity is open and so after taking it up with Salem we have prepared a new project which in a general way meets with their approval and we have had plans drawn for this purpose and as all these projects now call for some money put up by the town, we feel that we must ask for a contribution at our annual meeting, but this amount is very small in comparison to the amount the Government will furnish for labor to be paid to our unemployed men and keep our Welfare ex- penses at a low figure. In making these plans which must be ready before Salem will entertain a proposition we have exceeded our ap- propriation somewhat, but we feel that we must get them in at the earliest possible moment and we think that this is one of our most worthwhile projects.

REPORT OF THE TOWN FOREST COMMITTEE
TO JANUARY 1, 1937
To the Selectmen of the Town of Merrimac:
There were 15,000 white pine trees set in our Town Forest the past year. This makes 100,000 trees set in the Forest since it was established. The trees set these past years are making a fine growth. The Government has financed projects in the forest early in the year and in a part of the last month of the year and fine progress has been made in carrying on a regular forest work which included cutting wood, making fire breaks and constructing roads, so it is now possible
46
TOWN REPORT
to reach nearly every part of our forest lands quickly in case of fire.
The work going on is providing ground for setting more trees this Spring.
We request that slips for all wood taken from the Town Forest be placed in the custody of the Town Accountant at once, so that a check-up can be made quickly at any time.
We wish to remind our people that a low price has been placed on our wood and that no one can expect to get this wood for the price of hauling when he is able to pay for the same.
At the March Town Meeting $200 was voted for the Town Forest work. The following amounts have been paid:
Labor for cutting brush $ 151.10
Express on trees
16.47
Express on return of crates
2.00
Equipment
17.92
Horse hire

Amount spent this year
190.03
Total balance $ 1,216.28
47
TOWN REPORT
A bill of $3.63, incurred in 1935, is still unpaid to the town.
Only one cord of wood was left in the Forest of the wood which was cut before December 15, 1936.
This balance does not show the saving on wood to the town, for, if the wood had been purchased in the open market for the needs of the citizens, it would have exceeded $2,000 for the year. The Forest will show more favorable results as the years go by: There will come a time when the timber has matured when the Forest should. produce revenue to greatly reduce the tax burden. There are forests in Europe today that pay all the expenses of the communities that own them. ----
We should add to our forest lands, and any land taken by the Town should become a part of our Town Forest. We should not hesitate to vote money to properly care for our forest.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANK N. RAND. JAMES T. COLGAN SAMUEL C. DOUST,
Town Forest Committee.
