For the ensuing year the Trustees recommend for the Library the appropriation of $1,950, including the dog tax, and for the Reading Room $275.
On account of the burden of outside affairs Mr. Charles F. Mansfield has tendered his resignation. It will therefore be necessary for the town to elect a Trustee to serve out his unex- pired term. The remaining members of the Board regret that he has found such a course necessary, believing as they do that the library is losing one of its most faithful friends and one who has given untiringly of his thought and time to a cause he has loved. He was a member of the Board thirteen years and was always present at its meetings.

Park Commissioners Report
Through the generosity of one of our public spirited citizens, Mr. John J. Round, a substantial addition to our park areas has been made in the gift of lot of land on Main Street east of the Wakefield Junction Depot, and adjoining lands of the Boston & Maine Railroad Co. This lot containing 15,000 square feet was given free of all incumbrances, and also $400.00 to be used for its improvement and adornment. It was the wish of Mr. Round that the town would be able to arrange with the Railroad Com- pany for an exchange of a part of this land, either for a path through it from the Depot to Main Street or a portion of said land south of the company's land for a portion of the Railroad Company's land east of the Depot. The object being to afford a better outlook of Crystal Lake. In accepting this gift the town empowered this Board to negotiate with the Boston & Maine Railroad Company. With the recent change in management of the B. & M. Railroad has come a change of officials, some of whom are comparative strangers, and apparently not quite as much interested in adornments near the stations as those whom they have succeeded and with whom our townspeople were better acquainted. Interviews have been held with the Engineer of Real Estate by a Committee of this Board and a promise received to have an examination made and a report given of what they (the R. R. Co.) were willing to do. Nothing definite thus far has been accomplished. This lot will be hardly large enough for a recreation or Playground and would not be if the proposed addi- tion could be effected. But with its nearness to the lake, its even surface containing several fine elm trees it could be made with the addition of a few more trees and constructing paths through it, providing it with setees, etc. a splendid resting place and cool retreat during the summer months. The $400.00 donated by Mr. Round will be sufficient to make the needed improvements.
176
COMMON AND PARK
The liberal appropriation made by the Town at the annual meeting in March enabled the Commissioners to effect many needed improvements on the Common and Park, especially the trimming of the shade trees and the renovation of the Pagoda.
SHADE TREES
The contract for tree trimming was given to Messrs. Hubbard & Davis of Reading a competent firm of experienced foresters. This work was well done and the elms and maples are now in better condition than for several years. The Gypsy and Brown Tail Moths have been kept well under control by the efficient Superintendent of the Moth Department, Mr. W. W. Whittredge. The Elm Leaf Beetle so destructive to the Elm Trees in many neighboring Cities and Towns has thus far not increased to any appreciable extent and did but little damage to the trees on the Common or Park. But with the increase in other localities we cannot hope to escape from facing the serious problem of waging warfare against them. This board is not prepared to make any recommendation for an appropriation for that purpose, preferring to await developments of another season.
THE PAGODA
Early in the season a new copper roof was put on the Pagoda. The wood work painted and decorated, also the stone foundation repaired. With these improvements it is now in better condition than when first built and the outlay for maintainance for several years will probably be small. With the splendid Park and Band Stand it seems that some effort should be made to have more concerts and a more frequent use of the Pagoda.
HARTS HILL RESERVATION
The Commissioners have during the season set out a double row of Maples extending nearly the entire frontage on Main Street and continuing around the former Flint estate to the north and east. The expense of purchasing these trees was borne by Mr. John J. Round. In a few years these trees will add greatly to the
177
appearance of the Main Street frontage. The ball ground was used a large part of the time and apparently is appreciated by the young men of the Junction District.
The ravages of the Gypsy and Brown Tail Moths, so serious for several years has not been so marked during the past year. Some effort should be made for reforesting this reservation, and it is hoped some advance may be made during the coming year. Some- times doubts have arisen in the minds of members of this Board whether the citizens of Wakefield realize what a valuable assest this Reservation is to the Town. There are few localities in this vicinity comprising so many of the essentials of a Park as does Harts Hill Reservation. But for the fact that we have so many interesting tracts of wooded lands, Harts Hill would be visited by more of our citizens. As the population increases and the wild lands taken up the wisdom of setting aside this splendid tract of 23 acres for the use of the people for a public park forever will be better appreciated. For a Statement of Expenditures we refer to the Auditors' report. We recommend that the Town appropriate for the Park Department for the ensuing year the sum of $1050.00.
Respectfully submitted, EUGENE S. HINCKLEY, Chairman, ARTHUR P. KNIGHT, GEO. W. ABBOTT, Secretary. Park Commissioners.
