REPORT OF PARK COMMISSIONERS
-
Board of Selectmen :
The Park Department respectfully submits for your consideration a resume of their work during the past year.
After carefully considering all of the work necessary for the proper operation of our department, we started to work on the various parks in the town with a view to improve them as much as possible to the best of our ability.
The New Haven Railroad Company gave us two car- loads of cinders, which we spread on the parking place by the Egypt depot. We had the steam-roller roll it.
Around the green at Egypt one hundred and twenty- five feet of curbing was built. Loam was spread upon the green and also re-seeded.
On the southerly end of Minot Cliff we put loam and reseeded it.
We are very thankful for the fine amount of co-opera- tion we have received from the townspeople during the past year and hope that this year will prove a prosperous one for all town departments.
Respectfully Submitted, ERNEST F. LITCHFIELD, Chairman,
GEORGE V. YENETCHI, JOHN F. DALBY, Park Commissioners.
