Bailey Green


The grass was cut regularly and shrubbery trimmed during the summer and the topmast of the flagpole housed for the winter.


Webb Park


Webb Park was used quite extensively for base ball during the: season. Improvements could be made by placing benches there» it being so situated that it affords a resting place for those de- sirous of using it. with a very good view over Fore River and! Quincy Bay.


Weston Park


The Park off Franklin Street acquired from the Linn Realty Company, or the amount of money we had. We made it roughly fit for the smaller children to play their games, but were unable to use it as we hoped for skating because of the unfinished condi- tion, although we tried to place a safe skating pond to protect: the children from skating accident's. The Washington street side of this Park is simply a dumping place of the drains and gutters of Bread Street and sections south, Washington Street and sections east. This place should be drained by, piping and filling 'which would make a very desirable recreation ground for the ' children and grown-ups as well. Every pipe and every load of filling for this particular place will add to its value and usefulness, As it stands now it is unsightly and a menace.


Lovell's Corner Playground


The Lovell's Corner Playground is certainly enjoyed by all the children, and appreciated by the older people. The young men and boys made use of the base ball field this summer and for foot ball this fall. I wish to mention the interest of Earl Hut- chinson, who has so faithfully cared for the buildings so that at the end of the season they were found in excellent condition. The Fourth of July celebration was a success and its committee turned over $60.00 to the Park Commissioners for equipment.


We installed this year Parallel Bars, 2 Kiddie Swings, 1 Fly- ing Horse


We have painted all equipment, put up 500 feet of wire fence. We are asking this year for $300.00 ertra to grade the field for base ball.


Supervised play is beyond the experimental stage and as will be observed by the report has been a success and can and will be to a much greater extent another year.

Great Hill Park


Now that the town has purchased so much more land adjoin- ing the present park property, the ever commanding view can never be obstructed and in time to come can be made into a fine park. Also that the town has some waterfront land we feel that a bath-house should be built on the park beach, which would enable the people from the farther parts of the town to drive down to Great Hill Beach and have a locker in which they could change their clothes and go in swimming and feel that their clothes were safe.


Respectfully submitted, FRANCIS W. REA CHARLES W. BURGESS JOSEPH KELLEY Park Commissioners.


Report on Playgrounds-1927


Playgrounds were opened on July 11 and continued for six weeks with supervision two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. There was a director at each of five playgrounds, with a special director for boys over twelve years, visiting each playground twice a week, besides a general supervisor.


The various activities consisted of sand bin play for very little children, ring and folk games and story telling for small boys and girls, and for those up to fifteen years, social and cave games, stunts, athletic tests, sports, and handicraft such as basketry, beadwork, embroidery and wood-carving, also group singing and ukelele playing.


The average number of children attending the playground daily, either in the morning or the afternoon, is as follows:


Lovell's Corner


75


Beals Park


75


Humphrey School


60


Nevin School 30


Hunt School 80


All playgrounds were equipped with quoits, basket balls, volley ball nets, posts and balls, indoor and outdoor base balls and bats, bean bags, new sand for boxes and a new sand box for the Humphrey School.


During the closing week a Field Day and exhibit was held at each playground and badges were presented to winners of the dif- ferent sports, contests and exhibits. Through the co operation and generosity of each community, two hundred children were served with ice cream, cake and punch at each playground on Field Day, with the exception of Nevin School, where the at- tendance was one hundred that day. Nine hundred children at- tended the Field Day at the playgrounds during the final week.


MARY L. PATTON, General Supervisor.


Report of the Playgrounds for the Summer of 1927


Statistics show the summer of 1927 to be a successful one. Interest and splendid attendance was kept to the very end.


169


The boys average attendance for five weeks (excluding the last week) was:


Bicknell A.M.25-P. M. 47


Humphrey


A. M. 40- P. M. 50


Weston Park


A. M. 35-P. M. 69


Lovell's Corner


A .M. 31-P. M. 37


Nevins


A. M. 22-P. M. 16


When considering the average attendance the weather must be taken into consideration. Thunder storms, rain and intense heat lowered the average in many cases.


As special activities were held on all grounds during the last week, naturally the attendance was raised. Light refreshments aided in this matter.


The following are the approximate number of children pres- ent at each final activity day:


Athens-Bicknell


175


Hunt


225


Humphrey


200


Lovell's Corner


168


Nevins 80


The attendance on the whole was regular during the entire session.


There were nineteen inter-ground ball games with keen com- petition. Good spirit and fine sportsmanship was shown at all the games.


The teams were divided into two groups, namely, Juniors and Senoirs. In this way the teams were evenly matched.


The boys were given instructions in track and field events and such games as quoits, dodge-ball, volley ball, Liberty bat ball, and all were played and enjoyed.


On very warm afternoons boys who desired were given in- structions in coping saw and craft work.


Local merchants were most generous in their donations to- ward the refreshments for the final activity days.


The season was ended with a grand finale at the Fair Grounds and although postponed a day because of rain, spirits were not dampened in the least.


Four busses full of children were taken from North Weymouth, E. Weymouth and Weymouth and returned safely to their homes tired but happy after a day of enjoyment.


Prizes were gven by the Weyomuth Agricultural Society for sports and a cup donated by the Rotary Club to the Playground having the greatest number of points.


James Humphrey Playground succeeded in winning the cup. Complete Summary of Points:


In the scoring first place was given 5 points, second place 3 points and third place 1 point.

REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD


To the Citizens of Weymouth:


Through the courtesy f the Selectmen at their meeting on March 28, th Planning Bard was invited to meet with them and asked to propose two names for the vacancies that existed because of the termination of the one year men. It was the unanimous desire of our Board that Mr. Allen C. Emery and Mr. Thomas J. Kelly, who had served with us the past year be appointed for three years. The vote was unanimous for their appointment.


At our first meeting, Frank A. Pray was the unanimous choice as chairman of the Board, and Ralph H. Haskins as clerk and treasurer. We have held monthly meetings at each of which something pertaining to the needs and welfare of the town was discussed.


We are pleased to note that through our recommendation the water department has had at its disposal thirty thousand ($30,000) dollars for the purchase of land bordering "Great Pond." They have acquired by purchase or by eminent domain (41) forty-one acres at an approximate cost of ($24,000) twenty-four thousand dollars.


They have arranged a definite program to take in the next five years all the land necessary to protect the water shed.


On request of the building committee for a new town office building the Planning Board endorses the following report:


At a meeting of the Town Planning Board, duly called and holden on the 24th day of August, A. D. 1927, it was unanimously


Voted: That it is the sense of this Board that we go on record as favoring the plan submitted by the Committee on a New Town Office to erect a Town Office Building which shall be a re- plica of the Old State House in Boston, on the Knowles Estate at the corner of Academy Avenue and Middle Street adjacent to the location of the proposed new wing of the High School.


And inasmuch as the placing of the Town Office Building on this site offers a wonderful opportunity to install an open air forum or theater capable of seating at least twenty-five hundred or three thousand people besides parking space for a large num- ber of automobiles where their occupants can have an unobstructed view of the stage all at a very slight expense. We are in favor of the same committee being instructed to present plans and estimated cost of the same, as it is an improvement much needed for school graduation exercises and other public functions which ' the Town may hold. If these plans are carried out, it will create . a civic center in our Town which will be a credit to it and a land-

mark which will not only be in keeping with its history but also one which will be unequalled in any town in the Commonwealth.


Furthermore, there being at present no memorial of any kind to Weymouth's veterans of any war, except an inadequate civil war monument, and the plans above outlined making it possible to erect as a part of the civic center a memorial which will be worthy of so ancient a town and a source of pride to it, we rec- ommend that the same committee be instructed to prepare and submit to the Town plans for a suitable memorial to our veterans of all wars, to be erected on the knoll at the southerly corner of the present High School lot on the same center line parallel with Middle Street as the Town Office Building, and that the various buildings be so co-related to each other that the High School, the Town Office Building, the War Memorial and the Open Air Theater shall form harmonious parts of a symmetrical group.


A true copy from the records.


Attest: RALPH H. HASKINS, Clerk of the Board.


The matter of improving conditions at the corner of Cottage and Commercial Streets was taken up with the Selectmen, the re- sult of such action being an article which appears in the town warrant.


The annual meeting of the State Planning Board was held at Greenfield, but for unavoidable reasons this Board was not represented.


The matter of traffic lights was gone into at some considerable length and on invitation of our Board, a representative of the General Electric Co. of Lynn, Mass., gave a talk on that subject at the Town Office to fifty of our interested citizens with the re- sult that through the courtesy of the General Electric Co., together with the Weymouth Light and Power Co., we are to have two sets of traffic lights installed on trial with no obligation on the part of the town.


In our last year's report we referred to the matter of sewer- age for the town, which we are now pleased to report has received favorable action by the committee appointed at our annual town meeting and a considerable amount of work has been done.


We consider the adoption of a set of building laws as necessary for the town, and we trust that the committee will in the near future present the same.


We are pleased to note the improved condition at the Main Street railroad crossing and also at the South Weymouth railroad station.


Our attention has been called to the conditions at the corner of Pond and Derby Streets, South Weymouth, and trust that some action by the town will be taken to relieve the situation.


The matter of installing gates at the South Weymouth Sta- tion is still under consideration.


Respectfully submitted, FRANK A. PRAY, Chairman RALPH H. HASKINS, Clerk RUSSELL H. WHITING ARTHUR I. NEGUS
