Sandra Fairbank 221 Mt. Auburn Street Resident Lowell Park and Hell's Half Acre two things: 1. A Giga bit wi-fi availability. We don't have even a decent internet service in residential hosing. Paid internet service in Northern Cambridge is a joke!! No quality dedicated Fiber optics - or DSL6,or any other stable non-shared capacity (a.k.a cable) internet service. This is affecting education in Cambridge too! 2. Public toilets + security cameras in open spaces. Like Minute man bike path ways would really use both of these items to make them more safe and enjoyable. Especially for kid and elderly or persons with PTSD that are threatened from unleashed dogs. With so many dogs attacks already on record it is time to bring safety back to public places for all residents. The toilets would be a relief for Wafik Farag 2456 Mass. Ave. Resident elderly while enjoying a walk. As a former Shady Hill student who walked through Lowell Park everyday on the way to school, I know well what a beautiful park it could be. I'm writing in strong support of the Cambridge Plant & Garden Sam Feigenbaum 40 Clay St Resident Club's application for funding for the rehabilitation of Lowell Park. Lowell Memorial Park (Open Space AND Historical, the best!) Hell's Half Acre (Open Space AND Historical, Jan Ferrara 195 Brattle Street Resident the best, again!) I had proposed over two years ago a walkway from the end of Madison Ave @ Columbus and the intersection of rt 16 and Mass Ave it is a regular path for comuters. I would like to add more island planting on Mass.Ave heading into Cambridge. It would be another great use of open land if the City would negoicate with DCR to improve the grass and plantings along the grass strip between Rt 16 and Columbus Ave/Seagrave Rd State Rep Dave Rodgers has done the ground work to get this going. As for any purchase of open land for GARDENS it is a wast of tax payer money given all the DCR land in N cambridge that is under utalized. Rember if it abbuts a city sidewalk it has to be kept clear all winter by the city E Thomas Flynn 25 Madison Ave Resident another added expense. Use what we have for free.

BLACKSTONE'S " EXCELLENT SPRING 295 Mr. Henry H. Edes read the following paper, written by Mr. Michael J. Canavan, on — MR. BLACKSTONE'S "EXCELLENT SPRING." When Governor Winthrop's scurvy-stricken party of Puritans arrived at Charlestown from Salem towards the end of June, 1630, after a long voyage of eighteen weeks in cramped quarters, they set up booths and tents on the slope of Town Hill ; and not know- ing how to conduct a camp properly, in a short time " there was hardly a hut in which someone was not sick or dead." "And although people were generally very loving and pityful yet the sickness did so prevail that the whole were not able to tend the sick as they should be tended, upon which many died and were buried about Town Hill." " They notioned generally no water good for a town but running water," which they had not found in that locality. Mr. Blackstone dwelling on the other side of Charles River at a place called Shawmutt, where he had a cottage not far from a place called Blackstone's Point, came and acquainted the governor of an excellent spring there, withal inviting and soliciting him thither. Whereupon after the death of Mr. Johnson and divers others the governor with Mr. Wilson and the greater part of the church removed thither, whither also the frame of the governor's house in preparation at this town was to the discontent of some carried when people began to build their houses against the winter, and the place was called Boston.
