YEAR ENDING JANUARY 31, 1921.
Boston, February 1, 1921.
Hon. Andrew J. Peters,
Mayor of the City of Boston:
Dear Sir, — The Park Commission herewith submits
its annual report for the year ending January 31, 1921.
The. main idea which actuated the commission during
the year was to develop, as far as possible with the funds
at its command, the unfinished playgrounds throughout
the city. The Board is of the opinion that money thus
expended will be of much greater benefit to the city than
the same amount of money used for the purchase of new
areas without the funds to properly equip them for the
Following this same line of thought, it may be pointed
out that along the line of waterfront at Dorchester Bay
there is a large area of undeveloped beach property
which is one of the most valuable assets within the
limits of any large city in the country. This beach
front is within fifteen minutes ride from the heart of
the city and greater accommodations should be made
immediately for public bathing.
The upkeep of the department has been improving
2 City Document No. 19.
in character during the last two years, but there is still
room for further improvement. Large areas of wood-
land at Franklin Park, and trees, shrubs and grass areas
in other portions of the city need special care on account
of former neglect. It is believed, however, that the
more efficient work of the present park force will soon
make itself felt in the elimination of any existing defects.

REPORT OF DEPUTY COMMISSIONER.
To the Board of Park Commissioners, City of Boston:
Dear Sirs, — I have the honor to submit herewith a
report of the work performed under the direction of your
Board for the year 1920. I am pleased to report that
the department is in good condition, better than it has
been for a number of years. It has a corps of able and
disciplined men who work faithfully and intelligently
and therefore to the best advantage.
A contract was let in the early spring for the restora-
tion of Boston Common after the war activities. The
buildings used by war service communities were not
vacated until after the 1st of May, but the work of
restoration was completed by the 1st of June.
Additional concrete walks were laid across the parade
A contract was let for the development of the area
surrounding the Parkman Memorial, providing addi-
tional seats for 3,000 people; shade trees were planted
and brick walks arranged for according to a new and
revised plan prepared by this Board.
Another contract was awarded for the sum of $55,660
for leveling the ball field and providing fences and back-
stops for same, and for permanent walks on Monument
Hill, Charles street mall and the main walk on the
Common from West street to Charles street, and extend-
ing through the Public Garden to Arlington street; this
work is about two thirds completed.
A French war tank, presented to the City of Boston
by the French Government, was placed in a permanent
position on Monument Hill.
The policy of successive floral displays was continued
this year and was enjoyed by thousands of people,
particularly the tulip show, which was very radiant in
the spring and early summer. A great deal of favorable
4 City Document No. 19.
comment was made on the design of "carpet bedding"
which was enjoyed by every visitor to the Garden. I
desire at this time to say a word about the pond in the
Public Garden. Its condition has never been satis-
factory, although it is thoroughly cleaned at least twice
a year. Provisions should be made to have the bottom
concreted permanently, thus making it possible to main-
tain clear water. A new flagstaff was erected on the
Boylston street side of the Public Garden.
The lawns from Massachusetts avenue to Charlesgate
West were renovated and some of the English elms
replaced. The avenue as a whole is in better condition
than it has been for a number of years. On the exten-
sion, due to the extensive building of automobile sales-
rooms, the avenue has developed into a business section,
requiring a number of entrances, thus necessitating the
removal of a few of the line trees; arrangements were
made to replant where space allows.
A contract for bitulithic pavement was let for 130,000,
and all that portion of Boylston street from Richardson
Bridge to Peterborough street was resurfaced with a
permanent pavement, an improvement which should
have been done years ago if funds were available.
A great public improvement was made by the rear-
rangement of the Westland avenue entrance, made
necessary by the large amount of auto traffic and conse-
quent danger existing at this point. This improvement
is one for which the department has received much praise
from the public and at the same time is a distinct advan-
tage to the Fens from the landscape and artistic point of
view. The total cost of this was about $20,000.
The Robert Burns statue was dedicated early in the
year and the walks and planting spaces around it were
arranged in conformity.
Considerable thinning out of the shrubbery borders
has been done and all the roads were sanded and oiled.
Jamaicaway.
This portion of the road from the Riverway to Willow
Pond road has been resurfaced with bitulithic at an
expense of $30,000.
Park Department. 5
The Arnold Arboretum roads were all repaired, tarred
and sanded, the walks recut, covered with stone dust
The thinning out of all undesirable shrubs started
last year was continued during the winter.
The Refectory Building was renovated and improve-
ments made for golfers at a total expense of about
The golf links were reseeded, being used for the first
time this year since the ground was broken up for war
gardens. It was impossible to permit of golfing until
the turf on the greens became firm enough for play. In
the Children's Playstead, used for the same purpose,
the ground has been regraded and seeded.
A contract for the lion house was let at an expense of
$60,000 and the animals were removed and the building
opened to the public on the 1st of January.
Other improvements have been made in the Zoo,
including the extension of deer ranges and the continua-
tion of the walks through the Greeting.
A new water and sewer system to the lion house was
installed at an expense of about $8,000.
ROSLINDALE.
A contract was made for the development of the
Irving W. Adams Park, at an estimated cost of $20,000.
This work is practically completed with the exception
of the planting and the laying of granolithic walks,
which must be deferred until spring.
The old locker building at the Charlestown Play-
ground, furnishing only toilet facilities for those using
the playground, was enlarged, giving ample facilities
for showers and lockers for those using the grounds.
The ball fields were regarded and improved, the fence
rebuilt and bleachers put in at the baseball diamond.
The total cost of these improvements amounted to
The Charlestown Heights shelter building for the
children, out of repair for a number of years, has been
thoroughly renovated and repaired and a new metal
roof added, at a cost of $4,000.
6 City Document No. 19.
At Dewey Beach Bath House the old metal lockers
complained of were replaced with wood and a boys'
department added; the ventilating and lighting systems
were improved at a total cost of $3,500.
The improvements on the Mystic Playground, ar-
ranged for some time ago, were completed; the ball
field was enlarged and fences placed around the children's
playground to protect them from the older boys.
At Winthrop Square the entire area, which was
remodeled last year, has been seeded and planted with
North End Park.
The playgrouud area was entirely resurfaced and new
fences were erected to separate the men's and women's
bathing beaches; extensive repairs were made at the
men's pier.
At Wood Island Park the bathing facilities were
extended by the addition of lockers for men and women;
the surface of the ball filed was regraded; about 600 feet
of permanent seats were placed around the ball field.
The gymnasium was improved, the old apparatus being
removed; the tennis courts were inclosed with anew
fence; three new wire backstops were erected on the ball
The Saratoga Street Playground was completed,
the surface being leveled; the children's shelter building
was opened for use with suitable playground apparatus;
tree pits were put in for the new trees.
At Eagle Hill the old reservoir has been filled in and
the surrounding grounds leveled off for the new play-
ground surface; the field house is nearly completed and
will be ready for the coming season. The cost of these
improvements was $77,000.
The baths at the Headhouse, destroyed by fire the
preceding year, were temporarily repaired and the
bathing facilities were for the first time in charge of the
employees of this department, to the better satisfaction
of the bathers. A contract was let in September for the
new bath house and for the renovation of the Headhouse
itself, to make it more suitable for refreshment purposes.
The cost of the above improvements will amount to
approximately $140,000.

New permanent seats were added along the entire
A temporary shelter for women bathers was erected
at the Dorchester end of the Strandway Beach.
At Thomas Park a new iron fence was erected.
The L Street baths were repainted and the handball
court was rebuilt; extensive repairs were made on the
fences around the bathing beaches partially destroyed
by the winter storms.
The lawns bordering the beach and the loam spaces
between the traffic road and the parkway were remodeled,
old shrubs removed and the ground regraded and seeded.
McConnell Park was improved by planting trees,
loaming the slopes about the ball field and regrading
the surface of the ball field and providing additional
Gibson Street Playground — new backstops were
erected on the ball field; 200 feet of permanent seats
were added for the spectators, and the triangular plot
of ground between Geneva avenue, Park street and
Dorchester avenue was regraded. The department
obtained over 10,000 cubic yards of good, clean material
without any expense to the city.
Tenean Beach — the slope of the beach was regraded
and sanded, and a new approach to the bath house
from the street was provided.
Ronan Park — a new wire fence was built dividing
the property lines and to prevent the crossing through
private estates.
Edward Everett and Richardson squares were re-
modeled according to plans designed years ago at the
urgent request of autoists and other interested parties,
in order to provide greater safety for auto, team and
pedestrian traffic, at an expense of $3,000.
The Blake House was repaired and a wire fence
A contract was let for the enlargement of the play-
ground on Carolina avenue; an additional area of 1 T V
acres has been purchased and the ground leveled off for a
baseball field; the amount appropriated for the purchase
of land and construction was $56,000. As the land

damages have not yet been settled by the Law Depart-
ment, it is impossible to say at the present time how
much more work can be carried on, but there is evi-
dently sufficient funds to erect the needed fences and
backstops.
The shelter and retaining wall at the Mozart Street
Playground have been completed and the ground leveled
off for a children's playground; tree pits have been
arranged and trees planted during the fall. This
development was made at a cost of $25,000.
At the John Winthrop Playground a new 18-foot
wire fence was erected at the end of the ball field to
protect the owners of adjoining property from damage
by baseball playing.
At Mission Hill Playground the ball field was enlarged,
and wire fences were erected around the ball field and
the playground to protect adjoining property owners,
at an expense of $6,200.
At Portsmouth Street Playground the new locker
building was completed and opened to the public, the
expense of this building being about $18,000.
At the Allston Playground the improvements included
the building of a fence about the recently graded ball
field and a contract was let for the erection of a locker
building for the use of the children. The total cost for
this improvement was $26,000. The building has not yet
Randolph Street Playground.
Improvements were made on the buildings, fences and
grounds, at an expense of $6,000.
Permanent concrete benches were erected at the fol-
lowing parks and playgrounds: Orchard Park, Marcella

The fence contracted for at Mount Hope Cemetery,
to inclose a large portion of the cemetery bordering on
Park Department. 9
Paine street from private property, is very nearly com-
pleted, at an expense of $20,040.
I respectfully recommend to the Board the following
improvements during the coming year:
The concreting of the Frog Pond and the laying of
permanent walks in the neighborhood; the relaying of
granolithic walks on Tremont street and Boylston street,
on account of the recent widening made by the Street
Commissioners; the rearrangement of the lighting system
on the Common, including a new cable for the use of
public celebrations at the Frog Pond.
The Fens, now in an unfinished state, should be graded,
loamed and planted, and the future plans of the com-
mission for the Fens development carried out.
A permanent road surface should be laid on the park-
way from Willow Pond road to Franklin Park and on
the Strandway from Edward Everett square to Old
Colony avenue.
New greenhouses are to be built at Franklin Park;
$60,000 has been provided from the income of the Park-
man Fund.
The area along the Strandway in South Boston known
as Columbus Park should be developed and a suitable
bath house erected. This would make an ideal place
for driving and bathing.
• The new playground located on Adams street in
Dorchester should be graded and arranged for ball
playing and a children's playground provided.
A new sanitary building should be erected at Marine
Park, as the public sanitaries have been removed from
the Headhouse building now being remodeled. The
department has at the present time a sum of money
appropriated which is insufficient to complete this
The ball field at Christopher Gibson Playground
should be leveled and fences erected, both around the
ball field and the children's playground. A new shelter
and locker building should be erected on the triangle
known as John A. Doherty Playground.
10 City Document No. 19.
The Neponset Playground has been in possession of
the department for a long number of years, but has
never proved satisfactory; the playground should be
filled with light material, such as ashes from house
collections. I respectfully recommend that this be
carried out during the ensuing winter.
Smith's Pond, the only playground in Hyde Park,
needs a shelter and locker building, also playground
apparatus. I respectfully recommend that $25,000 be
requested for this purpose.
The year 1920 has been a very successful one for the
Zoo and Aquarium. Over two million people visited the
Zoo during the year. There has been a substantial
increase in the number of exhibits and the losses have
been very small.
Moth and Tree Division.
During the year 195 trees were removed from the
streets of the city, and 457 trees were trimmed on
account of growing too near or overhanging residences,
or due to the ravages of the leopard borer. Pruning
was done in the various sections of the city, and a
systematic planting in certain areas has been carried on
as in previous years. Special attention was given to the
trees on Boston Common and the Public Garden.
Over 42,000 private estates were inspected, of which
20,224 were reported infested with gypsy moth nests,
and 17,313 of these places, as well as all trees belonging to
the city, were cleaned or sprayed by the moth force
A very small colony of brown tail nests was found in
Brighton and destroyed.
The satin moth was found in a few places for the first
time; a careful investigation was made and the places
sprayed during the summer months.
The oriental moth has again made its appearance in
the Dorchester, Roxbury, and South Boston districts,
and will be cared for during the ensuing year.
Gymnasia.

the year 1920 was very gratifying, the grade of the work
undertaken having been on a higher plane and more far

REPORT OF THE CURATOR OF THE ZOOLOGI-
CAL GARDEN AND AQUARIUM. '
Boston, January 31, 1921.
To William P. Long,
Deputy Commissioner:
Dear Sir, — I herewith submit the following report
of the Zoological Garden and Aquarium for the year
ending January 31, 1921.
The year of 1920 in the Zoological Garden has been
a ■ very successful one, due to the confidence you have
placed in me, and your ever ready help is greatly respon-
sible for the successful maintenance and progress
accomplished during the year.
It is safe to estimate that fully two million people
visited the Zoological Garden during the past year.
On fair Sundays and holidays, through the spring,
summer and fall, the capacities of our buildings were
taxed to the utmost, and we were often hard put to keep
the crowds moving in order that none should be denied
the opportunity of viewing the exhibits.
Although brft approximately $1,300 was spent for
exhibits during 1920, yet it is with considerable satis-
faction that I am able to report that there has been a
substantia] increase in the number of species and
specimens of both mammals and birds. This is accounted
for largely by the record-breaking number of donations
and by the capture of thirty-five birds comprising
fifteen different species, by myself, in the park.
The most important acquisitions were a beautiful
pair of leopards, one male wallaroo, one Diana monkey,
one pair of Bower birds, one pair of scarlet ibis and a
couviers toucon.
The birth of three deer has added to the number of
hoofed exhibits.
14 City Document No. 19.
Our losses have been comparatively small, the most
felt ones being the camel which died last spring of acute
gastro enteritis, the cub lion one and one half years old,
which had to be killed on account of its being in the
last stages of tuberculosis, and one eagle as the result
of an ulcer on the head. Three raccoons and one deer
were killed at night time by vandals and dogs. This
sort of thing we will always have to put up with until a
man and dogproof fence entirely surrounds our grounds.
New Lion House.
The most important development during the year was
the building of a new lion house which was erected
beside the Greeting, to the eastward of the elephant
This building has seven large, light and well ventilated
cages, the fronts of which are made of heavy wire mesh
instead of the customary bars, thus eliminating the
prison effect. The sanitation is of the best and many
innovations made to facilitate the handling and care of
It was great satisfaction to get the animals from their
old, dark and poorly ventilated quarters at the round
house to this modern building.
Work has been started on the building of outside cages,
where on good days the animals will be able to get
plenty of fresh air and exercise.
The present house only cares for the members of the
cat family which we had in hand, but is it hoped that
some time soon an addition of five more cages will be
made, in order that we may exhibit tigers, jaguars and
other members of this interesting family.
I cannot impress too deeply the great need of a dog
and man proof fence in order to give us proper protection.
Until the " Police Strike" there were two Zoo em-
ployees and one policeman to patrol and guard the vast
area of our Garden at night.
Franklin Park is a favorite gathering ground in the
evening, for " gangs" of youths on mischief bent. Often
their pranks take the form of cruelty and vandalism.
Although prohibited by city ordinance, dogs of all
kinds continually make the park their hunting ground.
During the past year one deer, two raccoons, one
Park Department. 15
kangaroo and several birds have been beaten to death
with sticks and stones, or stolen, by vandals. Two deer,
one raccoon and several birds have been killed and many
exhibits severely injured by dogs.
In naming some of the chief requirements in the estab-
lishment of a zoological garden, that noted authority,
Dr. William T. Hornaday of New York, mentions "a
dog and man proof fence."
It is obvious that in an institution of this kind, which
may justly be termed to be in its infancy, the needs to
make it complete are manifold, and under the present
conditions cannot be accomplished in one or even
several years. Still, by gradually adding the most
necessary installations each year as we can afford them,
we may reach that greater state of perfection with
perhaps a firmer grip, in the way of more successful
management induced by our being able to grow gradually
The most necessary installations for the coming year
are a pheasant aviary and cages for hawks, vultures and
eagles. If properly housed the pheasants make a
beautiful and comparatively inexpensive exhibit. At
present they are in entirely inadequate quarters in the
flying cage.
The need of proper cages for raptores is very great,
if we are to exhibit them at all. The mortality among
those we have has been very large and due to their
improper quarters.
One of the first questions asked by a stranger in a
zoological garden is, " Where is the reptile house?"
Without question such a building would be a very
I think there is no question but that the round house
is not a proper place to keep animals for exhibition and
that when a house is provided for the primates it may
very well be closed.
Nineteen hundred and twenty completed the ninth
year in the history of the Aquarium. Although many
plans and needs, which would have greatly heightened
the standard of our institution, had to be foregone, yet
it cannot be denied that the past year was a remarkably
16 City Document No. 19.
good one, especially in regard to labor, the upkeep of the
plant and the educational value of a largely increased
number of exhibits.
During the year we have shown at the Aquarium 125
different varieties of mammals, fishes, reptiles and
invertebrates. Of these, 39 varieties were on exhibition
at the beginning of the year, and 89 varieties are being
shown at the present time. We started the year with
300 specimens of fishes, representing 28 varieties. At
the present time there are 477 specimens on exhibition,
representing 48 varieties.
Considerable trouble was experienced this year with
gas disease among the marine fishes. Chemical analysis
and experiments showed the trouble to be due to excess
air in the water caused by leaks in the worn-out piping.
In August the salt water in the big storage tank was
replenished by 160,000 gallons brought from down the
harbor by water boat. This quantity was needed to
replace the losses by leakage and evaporation.
The salt water piping system is built of lead-lined
iron pipe. The action of the water has worn through
the lead in many places and is eating the iron. This
fact is evidenced by the ever-increasing quantity of
rust in the water. It is impossible to properly repair
it, as the pipe crumbles when gripped with a wrench.
Hard rubber or solid lead pipe, although the first cost
is high, would more than pay in the end as they last four
times as long and will keep the water pure.
Early in October, in conjunction with staff members
of the New York and Philadelphia Aquariums, a collect-
ing trip was made to Key West, Florida. While the
fish were being held in Key West Harbor, an accident
to an oil tank on the shore killed over half of them and
greatly weakened the others. Some were lost on the
way up north when the steamboat encountered severe
storms, so that our receipts from this venture were not
as large as we hoped for. However, the trip added to
some extent to our exhibit of tropical marine fishes.
Park Department. 17
Although the Boston Aquarium is situated in the
"Queen Fishing City" of the country, it has none of the
famous food fishes in its tanks. Owing to the fact that
our salt water is heated it is impossible to keep cod,
haddock and other equally well known food fishes.
These fishes require refrigerated salt water and such a
system can only be taken care of by building an addition
to the Aquarium. Until such addition is provided the
the Boston Aquarium cannot hope to compare with other
Aquariums in this respect.
Essentially an educational institution, the Boston
Aquarium still lacks one of the most interesting and
instructive of all piscatorial exhibits, a fish hatchery.
The installation of a battery of McDonald hatching jars
would prove both instructive to the visitors and helpful
in increasing the number of fhhes in the tanks.
Harbor Water.
More or less trouble has been experienced recently
with fungus on the fresh water fishes. An attempt has
been made to treat this disease with both salt and
permanganate. Good results, however, will not be
obtained until arrangements are made whereby a steady
flow of natural salt water can be introduced into the
tanks. This necessitates a pipe line direct to the harbor
and a pump large enough to deliver a good, steady supply
at all times. Owing to the fact that the State of Massa-
chusetts recently filled in the channel between Marine
Park and Castle Island, the water in Pleasure Bay is
no longer fit to use in the Aquarium. In order to secure
a proper supply of water, it will have to be brought by
pipe line from the easterly end of Castle Island. It
seems proper, under the circumstances, that the state
authorities should be asked to assume part of the
expense of such a pipe line.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON BAND
Boston, November 23, 1920.
Mayor of Boston:
Dear Sir, — In behalf of the committee appointed
by your Honor to make recommendations to the Park
Department regarding summer band concerts, I beg
herewith to tender a report of the past season.
The generous increase in the appropriation over that
of last year, placed at our committee's disposal by your
Honor, made possible the extension of its policy of sup-
plementing the Sunday afternoon concerts in certain
largely attended public parks by a season of six weeks
on Boston Common, during which two concerts daily
(except Mondays) were given. This season could have
been still further prolonged had it not been for the
increase in the scale of the musicians' prices over that
of last year; amounting to 20 per cent for the Sunday
concerts, and nearly 10 per cent for the more numerous
concerts on Boston Common.
With regard to the concerts other than those on Boston
Common, the committee, after due deliberation, unan-
imously decided to adhere to the policy adopted two
years ago. This policy provided for the centralization
of these concerts in certain localities, and for giving
them, only on Sunday afternoons, in preference to a
wider distribution at divers places and times with the
resulting loss in their merit and musical and recreative
value. The committee was thus unable to recommend
favorable action upon requests occasionally referred to
it, to provide concerts or groups of concerts in various
districts. The committee believes that if such con-
certs were to be impartially and generally assigned,
there would inevitably result a marked decrease in the
musical standard now assured by the policy of central-
ization. This belief is amply confirmed by past expe-
Park Department. 19
A schedule of the concerts is appended herewith,
together with a statement of expenditures under the
For the Sunday afternoon concerts on Boston Com-
mon the band again numbered forty men, including the
conductor; for those at Marine and Wood Island Parks
and at Jamaica Pond, thirty men ; for all other concerts,
excepting that of September 12 on Boston Common,
twenty-six men, always including the conductor. The
concert on Sunday evening, September 12, on Boston
Common, above referred to, was not originally included
in the schedule, but was made possible by the unex-
pended balance of a portion of the appropriation which
the committee set aside at the beginning of the season
for possible special contingencies, and through the
further co-operation of the chairman of the Park De-
partment. For this concert the band numbered fifty-five
men. This number afforded an opportunity to choose a
program of special merit and to employ an instrumenta-
tion comparable to that of the best concert bands of the
country, and to the standard recently adopted by the
United States War Department for the more important
army bands.
For all concerts the committee endeavored, generally
with gratifying results, to maintain the high standard
of repertoire to which it believes the public is entitled,
and of which the public has constantly shown its hearty
appreciation. Experience, however, has demonstrated
more and more that the most artistic results are depend-
ent not alone upon excellence of personnel, and still
more upon quality of leadership, but upon opportunity
for regular and frequent performances under that same
leadership. Although but for a comparatively limited
period, this opportunity is afforded by the daily con-
certs on Boston Common, although the number of men
engaged is smaller than that for most of the Sunday
concerts. Up to the present time, however, here as
well as elsewhere, results have been affected by two
factors; one, the character of the instrumentation of
much of the published repertoire, unless especially
rearranged for the particular combination of instru-
ments available; and secondly, but of still more impor-
tance as regards the performance of new works of inter-
est, or of older ones of material difficulty, the fact that
the rules governing the musicians' services provide

for no rehearsals unless they are paid for in addition to
the price paid for the concerts. This condition attaches
even to such a season as the one extending six weeks
on Boston Common, when any rehearsal whatever, if
held and unless paid for in addition to the concerts,
must be by voluntary action of the musicians them-
selves. If this action is not unanimous, the benefit of
such voluntary rehearsals is obviously lessened. The
committee urges consideration of this question as one
of the most vital matters to be taken up with regard to
The public has again given evidence of its interest
in the music provided by the large attendance at prac-
tically all the concerts, and by its attentive attitude
and discriminating applause. Particularly gratifying
in these respects were the week-day evening concerts
on Boston Common, which drew large numbers of
auditors from outlying districts, as well as from the
more congested sections of the North and West Ends.
Since the close of the season the Park Department has
arranged for the eventual improvement of the shade con-
ditions and for a large increase in the seating accommoda-
tions around the Parkman Bandstand, in accordance
with Mr. Shurtleff's plans, which were carefully con-
sidered and heartily endorsed by the committee. The
committee recommends that the matter of a permanent
and efficient lighting system for this bandstand be
given consideration at as early a date as possible.
While the generosity of the appropriation placed at
the disposal of the committee this year is fully appre-
ciated, it urges the desirability of still further extending
the season of daily concerts on Boston Common next
year to the total of not less than eight weeks, without
reducing the number of concerts given elsewhere.
At the beginning of the season Mr. Charles K. North,
whose services upon the committee had been most val-
uable and helpful, was obliged to tender his resignation
on account of taking up his residence out of the state.
Mr. William C. Mackinlay accepted the invitation
extended by your Honor to take Mr. North's place on
The committee desires to place upon record its deep
appreciation of the courtesy with which the chairman
of the Park Department and his assistant received its
recommendations, and assured their realization. It
desires also to express its recognition of the public-
spirited co-operation of the daily Press in making an-
nouncement of the various concerts and programs.
