Excerpt from Annual Reports of the Park Board of the City of Portland, Oregon: 1908-1912 To The Citizens Of Portland: A clause of the Charter obligates the Park Board to make an annual report. This has been done and published as part of the annual "Mayor's Message" which is printed about six months after the report is rendered. Partly because the official messages are published so late after issuance and partly due to the lack of interest in routine civic affairs of a statistical sort the messages do not reach the citizens in sufficient numbers to insure accurate information being broad spread throughout the community. To overcome these objections, to give a first hand report embodying plans, reports and an outline of proposals, also to encourage a more general understanding of the problem as a whole, is the intent of this special report. At the commencement of the park project it is very vital that public understanding of it shall be such as to insure support when it is imperative and toward that end it is proposed henceforth to publish a separate annual report. The report of the Board, covering the past five years is submitted and with it a resume of its activities, explanatory tables, charts, plans, financial statements and a more detailed report of the Superintendent, all of which is sought for, more or less constantly, by citizens and others for statistical and sociological purposes.
