REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSIONERS.
Outside of the interest which gathers around the liberal offer of Hon. Charles Francis Adams, to erect (provided that the Town shall procure an eligible site) a suitable monument in Weymouth, to commemorate the second settlement made in Massachusetts, and also the exploit of Myles Standish against the Indians which occurred upon our soil, there seems to be little for the Park Com- missioners to report. To develop the Webb Park, which is so finely located, an appropriation of money is needed. The North Weymouth Park has received its usual care and supervision from the Chairman of the Board. . With reference to the procuring of a site for the monument spoken of above, we would say that the Commissioners met Mr. Adams upon Weymouth Great Hill with a view to considering its adaptation for the purpose.
Commanding one of the most beautiful land and water views in the world, its conspicuous elevation and convenient location make this spot well worthy of being preserved for the use of the inbabi- tants of Weymouth and such visitors as may be attracted to our town by its unsurpassed views and its historical associations. The city of Quincy has already secured for its inhabitants one or more of the lofty elevations within its limits, while the Metropolitan Park Commission has taken about four thousand acres on and about the top of the Blue Hill range which approaches the nearest to a mountain range of any of the elevations in Eastern Massa- chusetts.
Mr. Adams expressed himself as entirely satisfied with this site for the location of the proposed monument, and your Commis- sioners were unanimous in approving this location, and have taken steps looking toward the securing of a tract containing three hun-
177
dred and eight thousand and sixty-seven square feet, which includes the top of the hill and the approach from Neck Street.
We append an approximate plan of the land proposed to be taken, now owned by James L. Bates.

ASSESSORS' REPORT.
The undersigned, Assessors of the town of Weymouth, herewith present a statement of their work for the year ending Dec. 31, 1893.
We have assessed upon the polls and estates of all persons and corporations liable to taxation in this town the sum of $125,341.84, which amount has been committed to Jacob B.
