Ten evergreen trees were set out during the summer, while Mr. Merritt, the town's tree warden, has very generously offered to furnish, as soon as we can properly place them, a variety of shrubs which will do much toward beautifying the park. We thank him.
W. S. Wells and Geo. H. Gross furnished and set out bulbs and planted flower seeds, and we appreciate their interest in our work.
The band stand, which is a useful, ornamental and popular addition to the park, has been roofed in, eight substantial stone pillars being built by contractor Tony Daniele, which support an attractive red Neponset shingled circular roof,

built by David De Coste. In our judgment, the work was well and reasonably done, and we feel that we have a band stand worthy of its name. We would say of the sounding board, that the building of the same is generally a problem as to whether or not it will serve successfully its intended purpose, and although we took a necessary chance, Mr. De Coste planned and completed a sounding board that com- pletely fulfilled our desire, and musicians who have played in the band stand have pronounced it the best sounding board they have ever played under. It was a case of good luck and we feel well pleased with our experiment.
We had built between the pillars, plank seats, making it an enjoyable shady spot for those visiting the park. The cost of these seats was paid through a donation made by the Citizens' Association. Feeling that the best is none too good for our citizens, we have given them a band stand that should stand up under all conditions for many years. The painting of the band stand was done by Clement W. Bates, who gave his time, and the wiring for lights by Paul F. Landrey. Two seven foot plank seats, donated by the late John F. Condrick, were placed in spots he had selected, and the same were set up on cedar posts donated by Lot Lohnes. The baseball diamond was used almost daily by the boys for baseball in summer and football in winter, and it was mowed and kept in good condition by them.
Three successful "field days," with evening band con- certs were held during the summer, one each by the parish of the Sacred Heart Church, the Magnolia Club and the Loyal Order of Moose. Each organization carried out our regulations to our entire satisfaction and we congratulate each for its part in helping us make Webb Park the people's recreation spot. We believe in encouraging more of these "get together" events and are glad to do all possible to help make them popular.
We undertook to promote Sunday afternoon band con- certs, that our citizens might enjoy music "at home" at little expense and at an ideal spot. The Stetson Shoe Band very kindly offered to co-operate with us in furnishing con- certs, depending on a collection to defray expenses. On
291
July 2nd and 30th, and Aug. 6th concerts were provided and while there was a good attendance, women and children pre- dominated and we are sorry to report that the collections did not pay expenses and we were obliged to discontinue them.
Sunday afternoon band concerts would naturally attract the little ones and their mothers, as it is rather hard for them to go on the crowded street cars to crowded public re- sorts. We hoped that the men folks would contribute enough to insure the continuation of these concerts, so much enjoyed by their dependents. Many towns appropriate money yearly for this purpose, and as we have the place and the band stand, we hope that our town will see to it that an appropriation for outdoor band concerts will be made yearly. We wish to thank Miss Alice Trask and her "Webb Park Girls," who served as collectors at the concerts.
Much surface water from Summit Street flows in the spring onto the section used as a playground and to help remedy the wet condition of the ground under the swings, we did our best to force the water away by stone and gravel filling. It helped materially, yet we are not satisfied and feel that something should be done to drain the entire play- ground, as we know it can be made much more healthy for the children. This is a serious condition that should receive immediate attention and should have the co-operation of the Superintendent of Streets, for we do not think that the sur- face drainage should be allowed to openly flow into any park or playground when it can be prevented.
Through the efforts of Charles B. Trask, one much inter- ested in this park, a large unused flag staff was procured, through the school committee, and was recently hauled to the park without charge by Herbert Moralis. Another un- used staff on the Tufts school building has been loaned us by the school committee and Messrs. Trask and Bates, with · other volunteers, agree to have the same painted and set up by spring, with Old Glory flying high on Webb Park.
We have purchased for use of bands who use the stand, twenty-five substantial folding chairs, which can very com- fortably be stored away in the loft under the roof.
292
The developing of a park may seem to some a simple, un- important undertaking, but as our attempt progresses we learn more and more of the possibilities and become more aware of its need and importance. Our parks were given to us for us, and we as your servants believe in giving what we feel you need and want and what you placed us in office to give you, therefore we look to you for co-operation by giving yearly a large enough appropriation to properly con- tinue the work of park development.
At Webb Park there is call for a suitable building with toilets, a tennis court, filling and grading of the ball field, a sand box and more seats near the band stand. We invite suggestions and if feasible we will gladly carry them out, provided we have sufficient funds. The northerly end of the ball field needs much filling and we invite citizens to dump ashes, etc. (not refuse matter) whenever possible. If all would help in this way we would soon have the ball field in good shape. We hope that a sidewalk will soon be built on Summit Street edging the park. By a town report of a few years ago, money was appropriated for that purpose, but we can find no trace of the sidewalk, which if built would add much to the appearance of the park.
We hope in time to have some well kept walks with flower gardens bordering the same, in fact there is no limit to what can be done in making this park a modern park. A needed step now is more attention to its approaches.
If you believe in parks, give the movement your support and co-operation, elect park commissioners who believe in parks and you will have what every live town should have- PARKS THAT ARE PARKS.

Our appropriation for 1916 was $1,000, $450 to be spent on Webb Park. While we might have spent more of the ap- propriation on this park, we tried to keep as near as possible to $450, thus giving our other parks the benefit of the balance.
The donations we intend to use in buying apparatus or in ways to encourage the giving of donations rather than for

what should be paid for by the regular town appropriations.
Beals Park has been kept in excellent condition by Mr. Cushing, who has served faithfully. A number of trees were set out, also a variety of flowers. A large sand box was in- stalled for the children, which proved to be a useful addi- tion to the playground. In response to a complaint of an odor arising from the pond, the same was thoroughly clean- ed out, but on investigation it was decided that the odor came from sources outside of Beals Park.
At Great Hill Park we had all the old rubbish and under- brush cleaned out the entire length of Neck Street. We have also set out about thirty very fine trees. We have had a roadway staked out and would like very much to work it this coming summer.
Bailey Green in Columbian Square, which was presented to the town in the spring, was placed in our charge, and Mr. Cook has had it kept in its usual attractive condition.

WATER COMMISSIONERS REPORT.
December 31, 1916.
The Board organized March 20, 1916, by the choice of Frank H. Torrey, chairman; George E. Bicknell, clerk ; John H. Stetson, treasurer.
At a joint meeting of the Selectmen and Commissioners, Charles B. Cushing was reappointed Town Accountant with the same salary as in previous year. The following officials were reappointed to serve for the coming year: Fred O. Stevens, Superintendent; Frank H. Torrey, Registrar and Collector ; Charlotte E. Briggs, Office Clerk; George W. Sar- gent, Engineer at Pumping Station and W. B. Loud, Officer at the Pond.
A careful reading of the Superintendent's report will enable you to learn the doings of the past year.
We desire to call your attention to an Article in the War- rant relating to the extension of mains on the property now owned by the Moody Land Trust, "so called Idlewell."
Our estimate of the cost will be about $7,000.00. Our or- dinary construction account requires about $5,000.00, which calls for at least $1,000.00 being paid on the principal each year in addition to yearly payments on previous bond issues, so that our serial bond payments will be pyramiding for several years; to illustrate, we paid in 1915, $7,000.00; in 1916, $8,000.00; and this year we have $9,000.00 and next year $10,000.00 to pay without any further issue.
Again we are obliged to call your attention to the pay- ment of bills due this department. We use every means known to us to remind delinquents of their indebtedness but little attention is paid to our entreaties, and consequently we come to you at the close of the year with an outstanding balance altogether too large.
301
We hesitate to use the drastic measure of shutting off for nonpayment. We cannot run the department on wind, money we must have and should not be obliged to pay money to collect what is our just due. We must have your help and support. Our water is cheap, let us keep it so.
We request authority to appropriate from our revenue the sum of $36,240.00; to be expended under the following ac- count; viz :
Superintendent, maintenance and Pumping Sta-
tion .$13,000 00
Commissioners, office and current expenses 3,000 00
For the installation of meters 2,000 00
Interest on sinking fund 4% bonds 4,600 00
For Serial 41/2% bonds 4,320 00
For Serial 4% bonds 320 00
For Serial bonds due in 1917 9,000 00
In addition to the above we request an appropriation of $5,000.00 for the sinking fund.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT.
To the Board of Water Commissioners :
The following tables and summaries covering the opera- tion of the department for the year 1916, are respectfully submitted.
The work for the year has been largely of a routine nature, the only feature worthy of special comment being the un- usual advance in the price of all materials entering into the construction and operation of a water system.
Cast-iron pipe has advanced over 100 per cent. during the last two years, and advances on other materials during that period range from 50 to 100 per cent. Under these market conditions it does not seem advisable to do any more in the way of new construction or replacement, than is absolutely necessary, during the coming year.
It is unfortunate that the proposed extension to the "Idle- well" district must come at a time when construction is so expensive, but I feel that the town can ill afford to refuse adequate service to what bids fair to be a rapid growing, and eventually a well paying development.
FRED O. STEVENS, Superintendent.

ENGINEER'S REPORT.
South Weymouth, Mass., Jan. 1, 1917. Weymouth Water Board,
Gentlemen :- I hereby submit my report of the year 1916. The Blake pump was packed new on the plungers in the
306
spring. The Deane pump has had the drain pipe renewed on the left side. It has also had a new three inch throttle valve.
Have renewed two-inch blow-off pipe to both boilers up to the blow-off valve. I have also fixed three-quarter valve to No. 1 boiler under water column.
The Blake vacuum pump has had a new cut-off valve.
The Deane vacuum pump has had a set of new valves on the water end.
From measurements I find that Great Pond was at the greatest height May 21 when it was 33/4 inches below high water and at its lowest point December 10 being at that time 32 inches below.
Resfectfully submitted, GEORGE W. SARGENT, ENGINEER.
