 All tees are large and elevated. E The course was laid out by Stiles and Van Kleek of Boston who have many fine courses to their credit
 The course is admirably laid out and offers many problems to the experienced golfer. While 1t is not difficult course, a situation which is undesirable on a public one. 1t is sporty enough so that low scores will be the exception rather than
 Monotony, a fault of the usual lowland course is conspicuously absent. The park department sin cerely hopes that the golfers oi Waterbury will go over the course and see for themselves the vast amount of work which was in. volved in its construction, much evidence of which Is still visible. It was literally carved out of g heavily wooded and rocky wilder. ness into what appears now as g beautiful park.
 As superintendent of parks, feel that this is the proper time tt express for the park department it's sincere appreciation and grati. tude for the splendid assistance and cooperation extended by al

Harris, exc. cutive chairman of the Mutual Aid Unemployment Fund. for his able
