 The annual meeting of the park com missioners was held in the city hall last evening. The meeting was attended by the two newly-elected members, Alder men Henry H. Townshend and A. P. Allen.
 A petition was presented to the board by ex-Alderman Chadwick, in behalf of the Winchester shop employees, ask ing the board to give the employees a baseball ground at Beaver park, be- tween Gofre, Henry and County streets. The matter was referred to the park committee. The following subcommittee were appointed by President Henry T. Blake:

 On Beaver Ponds park-Messrs. Trowbridge, Blake and Townshend. On Clinton park-Messrs. Warren, Allen and Townshend.
 On Woodfield park-Messrs. Baldwin. Trowbridge and Townshend. Superintendent Amrhyn submitted his report and it was accepted. He report ed progress in the work on all the 1 parks. Special attention was called to three matters, the first of which was the following: 5.s
 A sewer empties into Mill river, just beneath the arches of Rock Lane bridge at East Rock park. The liquid flowing therefrom is mostly household seWags, and, in dry weather, entirely so. The quantity and nature of this sewage are sufficient to create obnoxious odors and to discolor the waters of the river. This is a condition which should not exist there. I learned from the city engineer that this sewer was built to simply serve as an overflow to carry off the street surface water during storms, but that it cannot perform this function until the Cold Spring street sewer shall be connected with Whitney avenue by the way of Everitt street.
 President Blake was authorized to petition the board of aldermen for a sewer on Everitt street, thereby doing away with the nuisance. Another matter requiring attention is the following: ..- ..E ..... .-ss k Both in Bay View and Waterside parks swings have been heretofore l placed for the benefit of children. These have been repeatedly broken to pieces with malicious intent this sea- son. Especially at Bay View park we experience great trouble in this respect Vigorous efforts should be made to stor the destruction of such city property and, if necessary, special officers en' ployed to detect the perpetrators.
 The third matter was as follows:
 Automobiles often violate the park rules on East Rock park Arrests for such violations have been made severa times by the park policemen, but, SC far as I can learn, in no instance has any penalty been enforced.
 In reference to the last two matters the board voted to have the president confer with the mayor to try tnd have these abuses stopped. The board ther adjourned.
