MORTON PARK.
Nearly all the money expended at Morton Park has been used in repairing and improving the roads and paths.
About one hundred dollars was used in grading the hill at the southerly end of Highland Road. This hill has always been considered too steep for safety, but heretofore the annual appropriations have been needed
.
76
for other improvements which seemed equally or more important. The grade of the road is now easy, and the appearance of that part of the park is much im- proved.
Highland Road and the paths that go out from it lead to the most attractive places of their kind in the park. Here may be found the finest wooded slopes, the steepest hill, the deepest dell, the densest shade and varieties of flowers and ferns not found elsewhere in the park.
It is a well-known fact in forestry cultivation that white pine and pitch-pine trees grow best when no trees are near enough to touch them with their limbs, or shade them during the middle half of the day. Although the oak largely predominates in Morton Park (and we hope it always may to a reasonable extent), there are thousands of pines, large and small, growing among the oaks. Every year some of the oaks have been cut to make room for the pines; but this year such cutting has been done more thoroughly than ever before. This. kind of trimming, continued every year, will soon bring in a fair proportion of evergreen foliage which will add much to the beauty of the park, especially when the oaks are not in leaf.
Mr. George P. Hayward very kindly gave money to purchase black spruce and balsam fir trees, not native to our woods. About twenty-five of each kind are grow- ing in the park.
This park is wild in its nature and the shrubbery so abundant that it has not been considered necessary to put any restrictions on picking or cutting flowers and common shrubs ; but we do now earnestly request that hereafter no evergreen trees or shrubs be in any way interfered with, as the loss of any of the hemlock,
77
white pine, pitch-pine, spruce and balsam fir trees, which we have planted or are trying to develop, would be an injury. We ask every visitor to the park to help us to maintain the evergreens.
In the Fall of 1895 a large number of white oak acorns were planted in places where a new growth of oak would be desirable. Many of the acorns sprouted last Spring, and a fair proportion of the sprouts are now alive. This Fall more acorns were planted. If such planting can be continued every year, it is hoped that the somewhat distant future will show that this kind of work gives valuable results at little cost.
The main entrance to Morton Park from Summer Street, known as Little Pond Lane, for about a thousand feet is over lands of Mrs. Mary R. Watson and Mrs. Caroline C. Finney, the Town having only a right of way. As it seems very desirable that this entrance should become a part of the park, a survey of the premises has been made (gra- tuitously by our worthy Ex-Park Commissioner, Walter H. Sears) and definite bounds placed for laying out this part of the lane. Mrs. Watson has generously offered to give the part of her land included in the lay-out, and Mrs. Finney will give her portion on condition that the Town will erect and maintain suitable fences on her line, if any should be needed. The location will be duly filed with the Town Clerk, and the Town will be asked to accept and allow the same for an addition to Mor- ton Park.
Some of the most valuable trees have been injured this year, presumably by gunners returning from the hunt by way of the park, with unused charges in their guns which they desired to get rid of; they have taken the smoothest and best tree trunks for targets, probably not thinking of
t
78
the damage they were doing, and possibly not knowing that for discharging a gun in the park, they were liable to a fine of three dollars to twenty dollars for each offence.
BATES PARK.
When Union Street was widened some good soil was ob- tained for Bates Park for the cost of cartage. This park being much in need of soil, and the opportunity to get it at so good advantage being rare, the appropriation asked for by your Commissioners for this park was exceeded in the cost of the work. The appropriation made by the Town this year was a lump sum for all parks. Under the circumstances, it seemed proper to use the money needed at this park, so long as the whole appropriation was not exceeded. The soil carted covered about two- thirds of the surface of the park four to six inches in depth, which, with the soil previously there, makes very good support for grass. This has been sown with grass seed. The improvement should be continued to cover the remaining third when more soil can be obtained to advan- tage.
The plants which Commissioner Lanman placed in this park, and the special care he gave to it, were much approved of by the neighbors and visitors.
BURTON PARK.
This park would seem to serve its purpose best if planted with hardy shrubs and dwarf trees, requiring but little outlay after becoming well established. Your Commissioners wish to plant as much of this work as is possible the coming season.
79
BEACH PARK.
This park continues to be an attractive resort. The undrawn balance in the account is liable to be called upon at any time to repair damages to buildings and walks, on account of possible encroachments of the sea.
TRAINING GREEN.
The Green has had the customary excellent care by Mr. B. E. Blackmer. There is a continued annoyance by dogs of the neighborhood, which seem to make these 'beautiful grounds their special place of rendezvous. They dig up the grass, especially the young grass on newly sown places. They romp and race with each other by the hour, doing much damage. On the coming of Mr. Blackmer they disappear, and return as soon as they see that he has gone. If the owners of the dogs would find some means to abate this nuisance, they would re- ceive many thanks.
In mid-summer the grass on the Green began to turn brown, and later large patches died. Many small ants were found in these places, from which it might be in- ferred that they were the cause of the damage. Those whom we accept as good authority in such matters say that the action of such ants is a benefit to a lawn.
We take the liberty of making a few extracts from Garden and Forest of November 18th and 25th, 1896, copies of which are now on file at the Public Library, giving a very full and interesting account of the insects which destroy grass, and of some remedial measures that may be used.
" Land cultivated in one kind of crop for many years successively tends to attract all the different kinds of insects that feed upon it."
80
"Farmers have long known that after land has been in pasture for a few years, or has been long mowed, the grass 'runs out.' They accept this fact and act upon it without much questioning as to just what this running out consists of ; but in many cases the land has become so thoroughly infested with grass-feed- ing insects that the roots are no longer able to sup- port a growth. Insects are not confined to farms or farm lands ; they occur wherever plants are grown," "and are troublesome even to the little patch of lawn in front of the house."
"Insects of almost all orders are found in grass lands." "In the order Lepidoptera, we find among the moths a se- ries of little species known as Crambids, many of which live in the larval stage on grass, either at the surface or just below it, feeding upon the roots or cutting off the stalks just at the level of the ground."
" Perhaps the most common and destructive of the larvæ found in lawns are white grubs, the larvæ of several species of leaf-horned or Lamellicorn beetles." " Ordinarily when we find a white grub, nearly a quar- ter of an inch in diameter and somewhat more than an inch in length, without any hairy covering, we can take it for granted that it is the larvæ of one of the May- beetles."
"Their eggs are laid in the ground itself among the roots of the grass, and the larvae when they hatch at once begin feeding. They live for two or three years in this stage, growing very slowly, and, on the whole, not eating very ravenously." " An old sod is, however, very apt to become infested by successive broods, and much damage may then be done, the roots being in some cases eaten off clean, and the grass becoming brown on the surface, and
81
eventually dying." This is what seems to have happened at the Green.
" Remedial measures." "One of the simplest measures is frequent cutting and rolling." "The grass should be always kept well fed," "using no barnyard manure." " Lawns should be fed almost entirely with mineral fer- tilizers" "to furnish the necessary nitrogen and potash."
The article goes on to describe the method that has been successfully used in applying kerosene emulsion to small lawns to kill all underground insects.
The Green will need to be newly seeded next Spring, and probably some other extra expense incurred to try to prevent the continuance of this trouble.

REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS
FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1896.
The justice of selling all water by meter measure- ment is now practically acknowledged and confirmed by the reports of the water commissioners of several cities and towns. While it is not expected that there should be any curtailment of the legitimate use of water, there is no good reason why some persons should be deprived of water by allowing others to waste it. From our own experience and reports from other towns the only effectual remedy is for every one to pay for what they use.
EXTENSIONS.
The Commissioners would call the attention of the Town to the necessity of extending the (14-inch) main from near the store of A. J. Atwood to Allerton Street. This would furnish a large supply of water through the most compact part of the Town.
The supply of water at the North part of the Town, considering its great increase in valuable property, is very inadequate. When the new street is worked, probably the Commissioners will ask for an appropriation to extend the water pipe through the new street, and by connec- tions with the present pipe on Court Street will furnish a satisfactory supply to that part of the Town.
