REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSIONERS.
The Park Commissioners of Weymouth hereby submit their annual report. At, the annual meeting in March the town made the first appropriation in its history of money for park improve- ments, and this the modest sum of fifty dollars. Of this amount the sum of thirty-two dollars and sixty-three cents ($32.63) has been expended at Webb Park, viz. : To Jere Delorey for labor, $14, to James Fitzgerald, carting, $5; to Joseph Delory. labor, $6; to W. H. Clapp for labor, and horse and cart, $7.63; total $32.63 leaving an unexpended balance of $17.37
In looking over the field at this park before commencing work, it was apparent that the sum of $50 would only enable us to clean up rubbish, and mow down briars and brambles of which there was a vast quantity. This was all that was attempted, and so far as we have gone the improvement is quite noticeable. We recommend that the town appropriate $50 more this year, which with the unexpended balance of last year of $17.37 will enable us to hold the ground we have cleared, and continue the work of clearing and cleaning up. We also recommend an appropriation of $100 for grading the sidewalk on Summit street, bordering on this park which would give a more finished appearance to this side of said park, and make it look much more attractive.
Beals Park at North Weymouth has had the usual amount of care bestowed upon it. and has presented a neat and attractive appearance during the summer months when it is much frequented by the people of that locality, following is a statement of the receipts and expenditures of money on this park. Received income of Beals fund, $113.54 ; paid Stephen Delorey for labor, $20.50 ; paid N. S. Morse. $12.50 ; due L. B. Curtis for bills paid in '98, $5.62, balance $74.92.
264
Great Hill Park remains as last reported, nothing having been done to improve it, no funds being available, this does not pre- vent, however, people from visiting it, and enjoying the magnifi- cent view from the top, it is free to all, and many more should avail themselves of the privilege.
While other cities and towns in the State are expending thou- sands of dollars annually for Public Parks, and consider it money well invested, Weymouth has not thought it advisable to adopt such a policy, and the chances are that when she does awake to the importance of it, it will be too late to secure desirable tracts of land, except at great cost. In previous . annual reports we have urged the importance of the town securing now, certain tracts of wild land, well adapted for Park purposes, which could be bought at nominal sums, and, after being secured, let remain in a state of nature until wanted, and at this time we would renew our recommendation that the town take action at the earliest moment towards securing such lands. It is not necessary that such acquirement should be any financial burden to the town, as the money required could be borrowed as a Park loan at a low rate of interest, running through a long term of years, with pro- visions for its payment by a Sinking Fund, and it is the experi- ence of all cities that have established Public Parks, that the increased valuation of contiguous real estate, reimburses the city or town for the cost. Much of the land that might be taken is either wooded or suitable for the growth of wood, and if cultivated by the town under an intelligent forestry system, would yield wood enough to supply the school houses and almshouse of the town, while the labor employed might be that of some of the men who require town aid in the winter owing to lack of employ- ment.
Our attention has been called to an act of the Legislature of 1899, whereby every town in the State is required hereafter annu- ally to elect as one of its town officers a Tree Warden, who shall have the care and control of all the public shade trees in the town, except those in public parks or open places under the jurisdiction of the Park Commissioners. This act was passed through the instrumentality of the Massachusetts Forestry Association, whose members naturally feel a deep interest in its inauguration and
265
future workings, and who urge that great care be taken by towns to select a competent man to fill the office. An expert arbori- culturist would of course be the first choice, all other conditions being equal, but a public spirited man possessed of some knowl- edge of tree growth, and willing to give a reasonable amount of time and thought to the duties of the office, would undoubtedly make an admirable Warden. The street trees of our Massachu- setts towns are celebrated for their beauty, and may well be con- sidered among our most valuable assets. If they are valuable they should be properly cared for, and it now remains for the voters of Weymouth to say whether they will enhance the value of our trees by electing a competent man to care for them, or will prove unmindful of the town's best interests, and merely fill the office with a man of straw.

For itemized statement see report of the Superintendent.
Mr. George J. Ries has continued as Superintendent the past year at a salary of $1,400 per year, but your commissioners would again call your attention to the salary of Mr. Ries. We think that the same should be $1,800 per year. The amount of labor that it is necessary to devote to the care of the water department, also his duties as water register and collector should all be taken into consideration.
270
Mr. George W. Sargent is still in your service as engineer at the Pumping Station at the same salary as last year.
The exceeding dryness of the season for the past year has greatly increased the amount of pumping, and at a considerably larger cost for fuel.
An appropriation of $3,000 is asked for the purpose of making such extensions as may be deemed necessary during the ensuing year ; also an appropriation from the revenue of the works, to be applied as follows :
Interest on bonds
$17,920 00
Payment to sinking fund
8,960 00
