The Cemetery at the four corners, uptown, was greatly improved, the work being carried over from the previous commission, but here also a yearly appropriation is neces- sary if it is desired to keep this important location from reverting to mal- advertising of our Town. The Soldiers' Monument Park and Eldredge Small Park have been well cared for at minimum expense during the year. Acknowledgement is hereby extended to donors of shrubs for the Eldredge Small Park. Thanks are due to Mr. Stewart, the school- teachers and the scholars for their work of decorating the soldiers' graves and monuments on Memorial Day. Respectfully submitted JAMES WILSON, SAMUEL F.
