ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
Mr. Harris requested that the reading of the Report of the Committee to study the creation of a central purchasing department be deferred until Article 50 was taken up, and there being no objection his request was granted.
Mr. William Patterson read the following report of the special parks and playgrounds committee.
During the past year, the Special Committee on Parks and Playgrounds has continued its work of planning for the most efficient development of the playgrounds and parks of the Town, with frequent meetings of the committee and a great deal of work done outside the meetings by individual members. During April and May the committee met every week, in the effort to get the Wellington tennis courts built in time for summer use. Plans and specifications complete for these courts were turned over to the Park Commission on May 13th.
Careful studies were made of other plots also. Plans, specifications and estimates drawn up by qualified commit- tee members or by the Engineering Department were sub- mitted to the committee for discussion, after which the plans were usually revised. Second and even third revisions sometimes followed.
In addition to the study of proposed developments, the committee has acted in a liaison capacity between the En- gineering Department, the Board of Public Works, the Un- employed and the Park Departments, for the execution of a variety of tasks. Next year we expect to arrange for still greater use of the unemployed on playground projects.
The plans and cost estimates shown in the pamphlet which is already in the hands of Town Meeting Members, represent the planning work of the committee, to date.
Respectfully submitted,
Esther M. Wyman, Secretary
which was unanimously received.
