PARK COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
The year's progress upon the "Common" makes up practically all of the work of the Park Commissioners for the past year. One more of the several features designed in the original plan, has been added in shape of the pond in the centre of the field, and a very satisfactory relevelling of a section of the area on the east side of the brook, has also been done.
With an appropriation of $1,000.00 this year, your com- missioners will hope to do the important work of rebuilding the stone work and culvert along by the brook on the upper corner and make a still further progress upon the grading. It is also planned to begin the practical use of the park as a public resort by placing seats in the grove and along the walks.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN N. COLE, MYRON E. GUTTERSON, T. FRANK PRATT,
Park Commissioners.
SPRING GROVE CEMETERY
The Spring Grove Cemetery Committee herewith submit their annual report for the year 1906:
In addition to the usual work necessary for the care of the Cemetery grounds, a new tool and storage house has been erected during the past year and the cemetery is now in a condition that reflects credit to the town for a repository for the dead. The location is one of the most beautiful in the town, sloping toward the west and with its sunny slope on a gravelly soil is a perfect location for the purposes of burial. Your committee have in contemplation plans for the orna- mentation of the eastern half of the grounds and the erection of a rustic stone bridge crossing the old railroad and con- necting the eastern and western part of the cemetery. It is also thought best that an increased price for the lots in the eastern location should be made in order that perpetual care may be secured for lots in that section. A cemetery should be made attractive and everything done to free the mind from a sorrowful feeling when viewing the resting place of those who have passed to the other shore. Nothing tends to cause a greater feeling of sorrow than a burial ground filled with weeds and brambles, with sunken graves, and markers tumbling down. Your committee are happy to say that, with few exceptions, owners of lots in our cemetery, carefully maintain the neatness of their lots.
