REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSIONERS FOR THE YEAR 1917
The money appropriated by vote of the Town for the care and improvement of the Town Parks has been expended during the year wholly for that purpose.
No new work was attempted on account of the difficulty in securing help and the high cost of labor.
We feel that sufficient money should be appropriated to warrant improving two small plots of ground at the East Village.
Respectfully submitted, FRED L. FLETCHER, ARTHUR M. WARREN. PATRICK S. WARD.
