COMMISSIONERS'    REPORT. 


Hon.  Patrick  A.  Collins, 

Mayor  of  the  City  of  Boston : 

Sir,  —  The  Board  has  the  honor  herewith  to  submit  this 
report  for  the  year  ending  January  31,  1905. 

No  appropriations  for  general  park  construction  by  loans 
have  been  made  since  October  30,  1902,  and  these  appropri- 
ations are  exhausted.  The  absence  of  any  money  for  con- 
struction purposes  is  a  serious  handicap  to  this  department, 
as  there  are  many  necessary  expenditures  which  cannot  well 
be  postponed,  and  which  cannot  be  paid  out  of  our  main- 
tenance appropriation.  We  need  money  for  buildings  for 
sanitary  and  other  purposes,  and  for  the  planting  of  trees 
and  shrubs  and  the  care  of  plantations.  Our  maintenance 
appropriation  will  not  admit  of  these  expenditures,  and  a 
small  annual  appropriation  for  these  purposes  will  continue 
to  be  necessary  for  some  years  to  come,  if  we  are  to  put  the 
parks  into  the  best  condition  for  future  use  and  enjoyment. 
As  it  is,  with  our  insufficient  appropriation,  our  roadways 
are  falling  into  bad  condition,  and,  worst  of  all,  our  young 
plantations  are  liable  to  suffer  permanent  injury  because  we 
have  not  the  money  to  give  them  the  needed  cultivation. 

We  have  also,  since  1902,  received  no  appropriations  for 
additions  to  our  playgrounds,  or  for  their  improvement. 

Additional  playgrounds  are  needed  in  those  sections  of  the 
city  that  are  not  served  by  the  playgrounds  already  existing, 
and  improvements  are  needed  in  many  of  these  playgrounds 


6 

in  order  to  make  them  more  useful  to  the  community.  We 
should  be  pleased  to  submit  to  you  a  list  of  our  most  press- 
ing needs  in  this  particular. 

More  bath  closets  should  be  provided  at  Savin  Hill  Beach, 
as  the  present  number  is  insufficient  to  accommodate  the 
large  number  of  bathers  who,  at  certain  hours  of  the  day, 
throng  this  beach.  A  bathhouse  should  also  be  erected  at 
the  southerly  extremity  of  the  Strandway,  near  Mt.  Vernon 
street,  and  the  beach  improved.  Many  persons  now  bathe 
there  without  proper  facilities,  and  many  more  would  avail 
themselves  of  the  privileges  of  a  bathhouse,  which  would  be 
of  great  value  to  this  growing  section  of  Dorchester. 

The  opening  of  the  Strandway,  which  is  expected  to  occur 
early  in  the  coming  season,  will  furnish  a  new  and  attractive 
drive  of  nearly  two  miles  along  the  water  front,  and  will 
serve  to  increase  the  use  of  this  shore,  always  thronged  on 
hot  summer  days  by  the  seekers  of  health  and  recreation. 

The  act  of  1903,  amending  the  law  of  1898,  which  gives 
this  Board  jurisdiction  over  streets  and  lands  in  the  neigh- 
borhood of  parks  and  parkways,  while  placing  under  our 
control  and  direction  the  planting  and  care  of  trees,  failed  to 
provide  for  the  removal  of  those  which  for  various  causes 
have  served  their  usefulness  and  should  be  cut  out  or  re- 
placed. We  have,  therefore,  with  your  approval,  petitioned 
the  Legislature  for  a  further  amendment  of  the  act  to  cure 
this  defect. 

Before  entering  upon  the  construction  of  the  Charles  river 
embankment,  under  the  Charles  River  Basin  Act  of  1903,  it 
will  be  necessary  to  obtain  an  amendment  of  this  act  to 
authorize  the  extension  of  the  embankment  to  the  westerly 
side  of  the  Fens,  and  also  to  provide  means  for  its  construc- 
tion, the  loan  authorized  in  the  original  act  being  insufficient 
for  the  work  that  is  now  being  done  in  the  Fens  by  the 
Street  Department.  This  work  consists  of  dredging,  to 
remove  the  foul  deposits  in  the  Fens,  rebuilding  the  old 
seven-foot  Stony   Brook  conduit,  and  constructing    a    new 


twelve-foot  conduit  in  continuation  of  the  Commissioners' 
channel,  so-called,  which  euters  the  Fens  at  Huntington 
entrance. 

This  new  foul-flow  conduit  and  gatehouse  will  be  completed 
this  season,  and,  Stony  brook  being  turned  into  its  new 
channel,  the  cause  of  the  foul  deposits  which  have  made 
the  Fens  pond  unsanitary  will  be  removed. 

The  readjustment  of  the  Huntington  entrance,  due  to  the 
work  of  extending  the  Commissioners'  channel  to  Charles 
river,  enabled  this  department  to  join  with  the  Trustees  of 
the  Art  Museum  in  a  plan  to  revise  the  lines  of  the  Fens  at 
this  point,  so  as  to  give  the  Art  Museum  site  a  rectilinear 
instead  of  a  curvilinear  frontage.  A  bill  to  accomplish  this 
purpose  was  passed  by  the  last  Legislature,  but  further  study 
of  the  problem  has  shown  some  changes  to  be  necessary, 
which  will  be  the  subject  of  further  legislation  at  the  present 
session. 

At  the  solicitation  of  those  in  charge  of  the  erection  of 
the  Harvard  Medical  School  buildings  on  Longwood  avenue, 
we  have  prepared  some  studies  with  the  view  of  bringing 
this  beautiful  group  of  buildings  into  closer  relation  with  the 
Fens,  by  the  projection  of  a  wide  avenue  from  the  Fens  to 
Longwood  avenue,  on  the  line  of  the  axis  of  the  Medical 
School  quadrangle.  The  matter  is  now  in  the  hands  of  the 
Harvard  Medical  authorities  and  those  interested  in  the 
lands  through  which  the  avenue  will  run. 

Full  details  of  the  work  of  the  department  during  the 
year  will  be  found  in  the  accompanying  report  of  our 
Superintendent. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

Charles  E.  Stratton, 

Laban  Pratt, 

James  M.  Prendergast, 

Commissioners. 
Boston,  January  81,  1905. 


SUPERINTENDENT'S    REPORT. 


To  Charles   E.  Steatton,  Lab  ax   Peatt,  and  James 
M.  Peendeegast,  Commissioners : 

Gentlemen,  —  I  herewith  submit  a  report  of  the  work 
performed  under  the  direction  of  your  Board  during  the  year 
1904. 

Feanklin  Paek. 

The  woodlands  and  plantations  have  been  carefully  looked 
over,  and  all  overcrowding,  diseased,  and  unhealthy  material 
has  been  cut  out  and  removed.  Under  the  method  of  treat- 
ment practised  the  past  few  years,  —  that  of  thinning  out, 
and,  in  some  cases,  of  mulching  with  loam,  —  the  old  wood- 
lands have  greatly  improved  in  appearance.  The  young 
plantations,  too,  are  in  good  condition ;  yet  they  do  not  show 
the  rapid  growth  that  might  have  been  accomplished  by 
thorough  cultivation,  which  it  is  to  be  regretted  we  have 
been  unable  to  give.  During  the  past  winter  preparation 
has  been  made  in  the  Wilderness  for  planting  a  large  num- 
ber of  oaks,  flowering  dogwoods,  witch  hazels,  thorns,  and 
similar  material.  Ground  is  being  also  prepared  in  the 
young  plantations  for  the  planting  of  young  oaks  next 
spring.  All  this  material  will  be  furnished  from  the  depart- 
ment nurseries.  Among  the  thorns  will  be  a  quantity  of  the 
new  species  lately  discovered  by  Prof.  Charles  S.  Sargent. 
The  positions  of  the  thorns  will  be  located  on  a  plan  of  the 
ground,  from  which,  in  case  of  the  loss  of  labels,  the  indi- 
viduals may  be  readily  relocated. 


Arnold  Arboretum. 

No  work,  other  than  that  of  the  maintenance  of  roads, 
walks,  and  fences  has  been  done  in  the  Arboretum  by  the 
department  during  the  past  year. 

Olmsted  Park  and  Riverway. 

With  the  exception  of  the  planting  of  a  group  of  tulip 
trees  on  the  old  Francis  Parkman  place,  no  work  of  improve- 
ment has  been  done  during  the  year  in  Olmsted  Park  or  the 
Riverway.  Considerable  additions  to  the  groupings  of  native 
azalias  in  the  Riverway  will  be  made  in  the  spring  in  ground 
which  has  already  been  prepared.  This  interesting  stretch 
of  park  land,  with  its  varied  features,  grows  more  attractive 
each  season. 

The  Fens. 

The  new  conduit  connecting  the  Commissioners'  and  the 
Stony  Brook  channels  with  the  Charles  river  is  now  nearly 
completed.  The  work  of  pumping  out  sludge  from  the  Fens 
basin  is  still  in  progress.  These  works  are  being  done  by 
the  Sewer  Division  of  the  Street  Department  of  the  city. 
The  restoration  of  the  surfaces  of  the  roads  and  loam  spaces 
—  disturbed  by  construction  operations — and  also  the  re- 
planting, is  being  done  by  the  Park  Department.  Work  has 
also  been  commenced  on  the  filling  up  of  a  part  of  the  Fens 
basin,  near  the  Fens  bridge,  for  a  playground. 

Arrangements  have  been  made  with  the  Trustees  of  the 
Art  Museum,  under  authority  obtained  from  the  Legislature, 
for  an  interchange  of  land  at  the  site  of  the  new  museum. 
This,  together  with  changes  planned  in  the  alignment  of  the 
driveways,  and  in  the  filling  up  of  the  Commissioners'  channel 
at  the  Huntington  entrance,  will  materially  add  to  the 
appearance  and  dignity  of  the  entrance  into  the  Fens  at  that 
point.

Commonwealth  Avenue. 

English  elms  were  planted  on  each  side  of  the  central 
promenade  of  Commonwealth  avenue,  between  Dartmouth 
street  and  Brookline  avenue,  the  ground  having  been  well 
prepared  for  them  the  previous  season  by  digging  holes, 
twenty  feet  square  and  four  feet  deep,  in  the  dry  gravel, 
and  rilling  the  holes  with  composted  loam. 


Charlesbank. 

This  useful  and  convenient  breathing  spot  was,  as  usual, 
largely  used  by  the  West  End  populace.  The  grassy  slopes 
of  the  central  mounds  are  thrown  open  to  women  and  to 
children  under  ten  years  of  age,  and  on  hot  summer  nights 
they  are  crowded,  while  the  wide  promenade  and  the  long 
line  of  seats  are  filled  with  people  who  come  to  enjoy  the 
cool  refreshing  breezes  from  the  valley  of  the  Charles  river. 

The  men's  gymnasium,  as  in  the  past,  was  well  patronized. 
In  addition  to  the  free  use  of  the  apparatus,  classes  for  young 
men  and  boys  were  conducted  by  a  competent  instructor. 
During  the  winter  the  gymnasium  grounds  were  flooded,  as 
usual,  for  skating  purposes. 

The  women's  gymnasium,  under  the  management  of  the 
Massachusetts  Emergency  and  Hygiene  Association,  had  a 
very  successful  season,  as  the  report  of  the  committee  of  the 
association,  which  will  be  found  elsewhere  in  this  report. 
will  show. 

Wood  Island  Park. 

A  number  of  trees  were  planted  early  in  the  year,  and 
preparations  were  made  in  the  fall  for  additional  planting 
next  spring.  The  trees  planted  a  few  years  ago  now  begin 
to  shade  the  turfy  slopes  and  to  give  a  general  appearance 
of  comfort  and  restfulness,  which  is  very  inviting  to  visitors, 
who  come  in  increasing  numbers  each  season.     With  its  fine 


RIVERWAY  — FOOT     PATH. 


11 

harbor  views,  its  cricket  and  baseball  fields,  its  tennis  courts, 
and  its  gymnasium,  Wood  Island  Park  is,  deservedly,  very 
popular. 

Charlestown  Heights. 

Charlestown  Heights  required  only  the  work  of  ordinary 
maintenance.  A  few  trees  were  planted  on  its  slopes  in  the 
spring. 

Marine  Park  and  Strandway. 

Marine  Park,  as  well  as  Castle  Island,  has  maintained  its 
reputation  as  a  place  of  popular  resort  for  the  citizens  of 
Boston.  Here  visitors  can  always  depend  upon  a  cool  sea 
breeze,  while  splendid  harbor  views,  passing  shipping,  bath- 
ing, and  good  restaurant  accommodations  lend  additional 
interest. 

On  the  Strandway  the  work  of  road  construction  was  com- 
pleted between  Marine  Park  and  Newman  street.  The 
planting  of  the  loam  spaces  was  also  completed  between 
these  points.  Work  on  the  roadway  and  loam  spaces  of  that 
part  lying  between  Newman  street  and  the  railroad  bridge  is 
still  in  progress,  with  the  prospect  of  completion  in  early 
summer. 

A  large  quantity  of  filling  has  been  received  at  what  was 
formerly  Burnham's  wharf,  thus  enlarging  very  materially 
the  playground  area.  This  playground  is  much  used  in 
summer  for  ball  games ;  in  winter  its  surface  is  flooded  for 
skating. 

Chestnut  Hill  Park. 

The  usual  thinning  out  of  the  old  woods  and  the  young 
plantations  of  trees  and  shrubbery  was  !  done  last  winter. 
Considerable  work  is  needed  on  the  recently  acquired  land, 
for  which  an  appropriation  will  be  necessary. 

Chestnut  Hill  Park  has  become  very  popular  as  a  resort  for 


12 

immigrants  from  Central  Europe.     On  Sundays  and  holidays 
many  thousands  of  this  class  use  the  park  for  an  outing. 

Facilities  for  tennis  and  baseball  are  provided ;  football 
is  also  played  in  its  season. 

Feanklin  Field. 
(77  Acres.-) 

During  the  past  season  Stratton  street,  between  Lyons 
street  and  Talbot  avenue,  was  constructed  by  the  depart- 
ment, the  construction  being  a  solid  macadam  roadway  with 
a  covering  of  loam  two  inches  in  thickness.  This  improve- 
ment will  serve  the  purpose  of  a  speedway,  so  long  as  this  is 
found  desirable,  and  at  the  same  time  will  afford  a  con- 
venient connection  for  general  driving  between  Talbot  and 
Blue  Hill  avenues. 

The  use  of  Franklin  Field  continues  to  increase  each  year, 
and  the  time  has  now  arrived  when  more  of  its  area  should 
be  levelled  "off  and  brought  into  use.  The  forty  acres  of 
level  ground  are  fairly  swarming  on  Saturdays  and  holidays 
with  cricketers,  baseball  players,  and  tennis  players  ;  while 
in  winter  thousands  of  skaters  disport  on  its  frozen  surface. 

About  seven  acres  of  the  most  uneven  part  of  the  field 
was  ploughed  last  fall,  to  be  levelled  and  seeded  in  the  spring. 
This  operation  should  be  continued  each  season  until  the 
whole  present  available  part  of  the  field  has  been  so  treated. 
An  appropriation  for  this  purpose  and  for  field  extension  is 
very  desirable,  as  well  as  for  a  field  house  to  contain  locker, 
bath,  and  shelter  accommodations. 

A  bowling  green  was  constructed  last  season  on  the 
upland  near  Blue  Hill  avenue.  It  is  expected  that  the  sod 
will  be  tough  enough  for  use  about  the  first  of  July,  and 
that  it  will  prove  a  very  popular  addition  to  the  sports  of 
Franklin  Field. 


Christopher  Gibson  Playground. 

Dorchester  Avenue  and  Park  Street. 
(5.8  Acres.') 

A  portion  of  this  playground  is  set  apart  for  the  use  of 
children,  for  whom  simple  apparatus  is  furnished.  A  female 
teacher  is  in  charge,  and  the  results  have  been  very  satis- 
factory. Tennis  courts  are  provided ;  baseball  is  also  a 
popular  feature  of  the  playground.  A  part  of  the  ground  is 
flooded  for  skating  in  winter.  No  work,  other  than  that  of 
maintenance,  has  been  done  during  the  past  season. 

Savin  Hill  Beach. 

Springdale  Street,  Dorchester. 
(18.6  Acres.) 
The  addition  of  a  house  for  boys  was  made  at  this  beach 
last  season.  The  house  is  15  feet  by  25  feet,  and  contains 
210  lockers.  This  addition  somewhat  relieved  the  pressure 
for  accommodation.  There  is,  however,  great  necessity  for  a 
larger  number  of  bath  closets,  and  a  corresponding  extension 
of  beach  improvement. 

Neponset  Playground. 

Neponset  Avenue. 
(18  Acres.) 

This  is  a  convenient  and  popular  playground  for  baseball 
games.  A  playground  for  children  was  established  here  last 
season.  Swings,  teeter-boards,  tilting-ladders,  and  other 
simple  apparatus  were  installed,  and  the  children's  play- 
ground was  placed  in  charge  of  a  female  teacher. 

An  appropriation  is  needed  for  the  purchase  of  loam  for 
levelling  the  inequalities  of  the  marsh,  as  the  levelled  portion 
is  now  too  small  for  the  demand  for  baseball  diamonds,  and 
preparations  for  utilizing  more  of  the  marsh  should  now  be 
made.  A  good  area  of  ice  for  winter  skating  is  provided 
at  this  playground. 


14 


Mystic  Playground. 

Chelsea  Street  and  Mystic  River. 
(2.3  Acres.~) 

No  work  was  performed  on  this  playground,  except  the 
usual  care  of  the  grounds,  which  contain  a  children's  corner, 
with  apparatus,  under  the  care  of  a  teacher.  A  baseball 
diamond  is  also  maintained. 

Charlestown  Playground. 

Main  and  Alford  Streets. 
(llf  Acres. ) 

This  is  a  much  used  playground.  It  contains  four  or  five 
ball  grounds,  and  has  facilities  for  flooding  for  skating.  An 
open-air  gymnasium  is  under  construction,  the  fencing  having 
been  finished.  Filling  is  still  in  progress  on  the  outside  of 
the  graded  area,  on  the  edges  of  the  playground  bordering 
the  water. 

Rogers  Park. 

Lake  and  Foster  Streets. 
(6.9  Acres.) 

An  appropriation  is  required  to  place  the  brook,  which 
runs  across  the  lower  end  of  Rogers  Park,  underground. 
This  will  permit  of  the  enlargement  of  the  levelled  area  for 
play,  which  is  a  work  much  needed.  It  would  also  be 
desirable  to  prepare  the  ground  and  to  plant  trees  on  the 
boundaries  of  the  playground. 

North  Brighton  Playground. 

Western  Avenue  and  Harvard  Street. 

(1£  Acres.) 

An  extension  of  the  graded  area  of  this  playground,  to 
meet  the  growing  demand  for  ball  diamonds,  is  desirable,  and 


15 

an   appropriation  for  the  purchase  of  loam,  to  fill  up   the 
inequalities  of  the  meadow  lands,  is  required. 

Trees  should  be  planted  on  the  boundaries  of  the  play- 
ground without  unnecessary  delay.  This  will  require  an 
additional  appropriation  for  the  preparation  of  the  ground. 

Billings  Field. 

La  Grange  Street,  near  Centre  Street,  West  Roxbury. 
(11  Acres.) 

No  work  except  that  of  maintenance  was  done  at  this 
playground  during  the  past  season.  Another  large  sink  has 
developed  in  the  centre  of  the  playground ;  this  is  caused  by 
the  shifting  of  the  boggy  subsoil,  over  which  the  original 
filling  was  placed.  Tennis,  baseball,  and  football  are  the 
favorite  summer  games ;  in  winter  the  ball  field  is  flooded 
for  skating.  Shelter  and  sanitary  accommodations  are 
needed. 

ROSLINDALE   PLAYGROUND. 

South  Walter  and  Robert  Streets. 

(3.7  Acres.') 

About  one  hundred  linear  feet  of  bleachers  were  erected 
in  this  playground  last  spring.  A  shelter  and  sanitary 
building  is  needed.  The  playground  is  very  much  used, 
the  summer  games  being  tennis  and  baseball ;  in  winter  the 
field  is  flooded  for  skating. 

COLTJMBUS-A VENUE    PLAYGROUND. 

(5  Acres.) 

During  the  past  season  a  retaining  wall  of  reinforced 
concrete  was  built,  which  enabled  us  to  carry  the  grading 
out  to  the  northeast  line,  adding  thereby  about  one-half  of 
an  acre  of  useful  space. 


16 

The  work  of  the  playground  is  carried  on  by  a  committee 
of  the  Civic  League.  This  organization  bears  the  expense 
of  kindergarten  and  athletic  instructors,  and  also  of  a  teacher 
in  gardening  work.  Provision  is  made  for  baseball  games, 
while  for  boys  and  small  children  separate  enclosures  are 
provided,  in  which  gymnastic  apparatus,  sand-boxes,  etc.,  are 
installed  for  their  use.  The  grounds  are  flooded  for  skating 
in  the  winter. 

Peince-steeet  Playgeound. 

Prince  and  North  Bennet  Streets. 

(0.4  Acre. ) 

Teeter-boards,  swings,  tilting-ladders,  etc.,  were  set  up 
last  season,  and  a  female  teacher  was  placed  in  charge.  This 
little  playground  is  very  much  appreciated  by  the  children 
of  the  densely  populated  district  in  which  it  is  located. 

FlEST-STEEET    PlAYGEOUND. 

Corner  of  M  Street,  South  Boston. 

(Jf-Q  Acres.') 

The  frame  work  of  the  out-door  gymnasium  was  set  up 
during  the  past  season ;  an  appropriation  is  needed  to  com- 
plete its  equipment.  The  grounds,  as  usual,  were  flooded 
in  the  winter  for  skating. 

Fellows-steeet  Playgeound. 

Fellows  and  Hunneman  Streets. 
(0.85  Acre.) 

This  playground  required  only  the  usual  work  of  main- 
tenance during  the  past  season.  It  is  equipped  with  simple 
gymnastic  apparatus  for  children,  a  female  teacher  being  in 
charge.     A  sanitary  building  is  needed. 


17 

Cottage-street  Playground. 

Cottage  Street,  near  Maverick  Street,  East  Boston. 

(3.85  Acres.) 

Ailantus  trees  were  planted  on  the  border  of  this  play- 
ground last  spring.  During  the  past  winter  the  grounds 
were  flooded  for  skating.  The  needs  of  the  playground  are 
sanitary  accommodations  and  fencing. 

Forest  Hills  and  Mt.  Hope  Playground. 

Between  Washington  and  Florence  Streets. 

(9.6  Acres.') 

During  the  past  season  the  drainage  of  this  playground 
was  much  improved  by  deepening  the  brook  and  running  a 
series  of  tile  drains  through  the  lowest  parts  of  the  grounds. 
While  the  field  is  in  fairly  good  condition  and  space  can  be 
found  for  at  least  three  diamonds,  an  appropriation  for  grad- 
ing would  largely  increase  its  usefulness.  Sanitary  accom- 
modations, too,  are  needed. 

Marcella-street  Playground. 

Marcella  and  Ritchie  Streets. 
(Jf.5  Acres.) 

No  work  of  improvement  has  been  done  on  this  play- 
ground during  the  past  season,  except  the  cutting  down  of 
the  high  fence  to  five  feet  in  height.  The  matter  of  the 
removal  of  the  old  "  Home  "  building,  and  the  erection  of  a 
building  for  shelter  and  sanitary  accommodations,  is  now 
under  consideration.  The  grounds  were  much  used  during 
the  past  season  for  baseball. 


18 
Randolph-street  Playground. 

Albany  and  Randolph  Streets. 
(2.8  Acres.') 

This  newly  acquired  playground  was  graded  and  drained 
last  spring,  the  grades  being  arranged  to  permit  of  flooding 
the  grounds  in  winter  for  skating.  Loam  beds  were  made, 
around  the  borders  of  the  playground,  fifteen  feet  in  width 
and  three  and  one-half  feet  in  depth.  These  were  planted 
with  white  ash  on  the  sides  bordering  the  street,  and  with 
Lombardy  poplars  on  the  property  lines.  Enclosing  fences 
of  expanded  metal  were  also  built  on  the  inner  line  of  the 
spaces,  low  fences  being  constructed  on  the  street  lines. 
The  loam  spaces  so  enclosed  can  be  used  for  children's 
gardens.  A  corner  for  children  has  been  fenced  off,  in 
which  simple  gymnastic  apparatus  has  been  installed.  The 
brick  building  on  the  Randolph  street  side  is  now  being  fitted 
up  with  sanitary  accommodations.  There  is  also  ample 
room  in  the  building  for  gymnastic  work.  This  playground 
has  been  extremely  popular  with  the  ball  players  during  the 
past  summer ;  and  in  winter  thousands  enjoyed  the  skating 
provided  for  them. 

Parkways  and  Maintenance. 

It  is  to  be  regretted  that  the  appropriations  made  by  the 
City  Council  are  too  small  to  maintain  the  department  in 
proper  condition.  The  roads  of  the  parks  and  parkways  are 
now  worn  in  many  places  down  to  the  foundations.  Such 
surfacing  as  we  have  been  able  to  give  has  been  mainly  done 
in  the  effort  to  make  wheeling  as  smooth  as  possible  under 
the  circumstances.  Conditions  are  such  now,  however,  that 
extensive  repairs  are  absolutely  necessary.  Our  young  and 
growing  plantations,  too,  are  suffering  from  inadequate  culti- 
vation ;  in  fact,  every  line  of  our  work  shows  a  lack  of  the 


T 


19 

care  and  attention  we  are  unable  to  give,  and  the  matter  is 
earnestly  presented  for  the  serious  consideration  of  your 
Board. 

Sports. 

The  various  sports  provided  for  by  the  department  were 
fully  enjoyed.  Sixteen  distinct  sheets  of  ice,  with  an  area  of 
about  one  hundred  acres,  in  various  parks  and  playgrounds, 
were  kept  in  condition  for  skating  during  the  winter.  The 
toboggan  chute  on  Schoolmaster  Hill  grows  in  popularity 
with  each  season ;  it  is  estimated  that  about  27,000  persons 
used  it  during  the  past  winter.  Baseball  on  about  fifty 
well  kept  diamonds  claimed  the  interest  of  many  thousands. 
Tennis  seemed  to  lead  the  list  in  public  favor;  about  one 
hundred  courts,  in  different  localities,  were  needed  to  meet 
the  demand  of  its  devotees.  About  32,000  golfers  used  the 
links  during  the  year,  a  falling  off  from  the  previous  season 
of  about  6,500.  The  curlers  enjoyed  a  long  season  and  good 
ice.  Facilities  for  football  were  provided  in  various  play- 
grounds. Generally  speaking,  the  interest  in  all  sports 
seems  to  be  on  the  increase. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

J.   A.  Pettigrew, 

Superintendent.

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  OF  THE  MASSACHU- 
SETTS EMERGENCY  AND  HYGIENE  ASSOCIATION 
IN  CHARGE  OF  THE  WOMEN'S  AND  CHILDREN'S 
DIVISION  AT  CHARLESBANK. 


Boston,  January  17,  1905. 
To  the  Board  of  Park  Commissioners : 

Gentlemen,  —  This,  the  fourteenth  year  of  our  superin- 
tendence at  Charlesbank,  has  afforded  ample  proof,  if  any 
were  needed,  of  the  far-sighted  wisdom  that  established 
playgrounds  in  crowded  city  centres.  For  notwithstanding 
many  minor  inconveniences  due  to  the  building  of  the  bridge, 
women  and  children  still  have  been  eager  to  go  to  their 
beautiful  playground  (and  when  once  inside  the  enclosure 
have  been  as  sheltered  as  if  no  pile  driving  were  going  on). 

Though,  owing  to  the  kindness  of  Mr.  Pettigrew,  an 
entrance  for  the  Superintendent  and  her  assistant  was 
effected  through  the  shrubbery,  access  to  the  Lodge  and  con- 
sequently to  the  playground  has  been  much  impeded  for  the 
general  public.  In  the  daytime  children  did  not  mind  going 
round  through  the  Park,  but  for  busy  women,  obliged  to  be 
punctual  at  the  stores  where  they  were  employed,  and  for 
mothers,  whose  moments  of  leisure  were  limited,  especially 
at  night,  the  circuitous  distance  they  had  to  traverse  to  reach 
the  Lodge  resulted  in  a  somewhat  less  attendance  than  here- 
tofore, the  children's  afternoon  and  the  women's  evening 
classes  being  noticeably  smaller.  But  those  who  did  come 
attended  quite  regularly,  and  were  visibly  improved  in 
health.  Miss  Rosamond  Lang,  Miss  Marjorie  Phelps,  and 
Miss  Marion  Cutler  kindly  volunteered  as  pianists  for  the 
classes,  and  winter  and  summer  season  alike  had  its  delights 
for  those  who  came. 


21 

It  is  not  alone  the  physical  benefits  that  promote  the  value 
of  Charlesbank,  but  the  moral  atmosphere  of  justice  and 
kindness  which  surrounds  the  work  and  discipline  of  Miss 
Harriet  Cutler,  the  Superintendent,  and  her  assistant,  Miss 
Margaret  S.  Horst ;  for  the  children  and  grown-up  girls  who 
go  to  the  place  year  after  year  are  distinctly  benefited  by 
its  influences. 

Since  the  opening  of  this  division  of  Charlesbank,  there  has 
been  a  marked  change  in  the  nationalities  of  its  frequenters. 
Fourteen  years  ago,  the  Irish  and  colored  people  prepon. 
derated.  Now  the  Jews  lead  in  numbers,  then  come  the 
Italians,  the  Irish,  and,  last  of  all,  the  colored  people.  The 
evening  classes,  when  Miss  Ida  H.  Crowley  was  the  regular 
pianist,  were  largely  composed  of  young  American  women. 
In  both  the  afternoon  and  evening  work  much  indoor  gym- 
nastic exercise  is  obtained  through  games  that  are  greatly 
enjoyed,  which,  when  properly  directed,  are  as  conducive  to 
health  as  if  exclusive  attention  were  given  to  free  develop- 
ing movements,  or  to  work  with  gymnastic  appliances. 

The  numbers  who  pass  through  the  Lodge  out-doors  or 
remain  awhile  inside  of  it  varied  from  1,500  to  2,000  a  day, 
with  occasional  days  when  there  were  not  more  than  1,000 
present.  Attendance  in  the  gymnasium  proper  ranged  from 
600  to  700  a  day. 

Times  have  changed  since  we  first  were  asked  to  take 
charge  of  this  division  of  Charlesbank  as  a  playground,  gym- 
nasium, and  Lodge.  Then  it  all  was  an  experiment  and  a 
novelty.  But  its  success  helped  to  create  the  demand  for 
playgrounds  in  different  parts  of  the  city,  with  their  gym- 
nasiums, more  or  less  well  equipped,  and  Charlesbank  has 
become  part  of  a  system  instead  of  being  an  unique  experi- 
ment. 

It  is  pleasant  to  recall  that  seventeen  years  ago  city  school 
yards  were  first  opened  as  playgrounds  during  the  summer 
vacation  through  the  initiative  of  the  Massachusetts  Emer- 
gency and  Hygiene  Association,  and  to  remember  that  each 


22 

summer  since  that  time  the  Association  has  supported  and 
cared  for,  as  playgrounds,  a  certain  number  of  school  yards 
which  have  been  placed  at  its  disposal  by  the  courtesy  of  the 
city.  It  is  pleasant,  also,  to  note  that  this  idea  has  been 
adopted  by  others. 

As  it  is  as  helpful  as  ever  to  connect  private  with  public 
work,  your  committee  look  forward  to  another  year,  when 
the  bridge  will  be  finished.  Then  will  mothers  and  children 
each  day  throughout  the  year,  and  all  day  in  summer,  find 
at  Charlesbank  rest  for  weary  nerves,  health  and  muscular 
development  for  weak  bodily  conditions,  good  morals  and 
manners  for  low  standards  of  what  is  right,  and  fun  for  the 
inactivity  of  dullness.  Playground  ethics  infused  through 
gymnastic  training  help  to  make  good  citizens  out  of  boys 
and  girls. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

Kate  Gannett  Wells, 
Anna  Phillips  Williams, 
Mabel  Delano  Lord, 

For  the  Committee.
