TOWN REPORT
Report of the local Superintendent for Suppressing the Brown-Tailed and Gypsy Moth.
To the Citizens of Hamilton :
Our town is generally infested by the gypsy moth. Large colonies have been found in the woods both in Wenham Swamp on the west and Chebacco Woods on the east, and unless prompt action be taken at once for their suppression, a large amount of money will have to be eventually spent. This matter has been taken up at the office of the State Superintendent and I am in hopes with their assistance and the aid of property owners that a lot of good work can be done this season.
The brown-tailed moth is now nearly extinct, caused largely by fungus and the severe winter of 1906. The work has been carried on the whole season, cutting and destroying the brown- tailed nests and painting the gypsy nests in the early Spring, later burlaping the street trees and trees on private property in thickly settled portions of the town, then destroying the cater- pillar found under the burlap and places badly infested, spray- ing was done, a great many hollow trees were plugged and ce- mented, the roadsides have in a large measure been cleared by cutting and burning brush and worthless trees.
I will again call the attention of private owners to the importance of cutting and burning the wild cherry and other worthless trees and to the plugging and cementing up of hollow trees.
The last half of a year under chapter 381, acts 1905, expires May 1, 1907, the Town's liability under the above act is $560.38 and above this amount the State will reimburse it 100 per cent. to the amount of a sum not exceeding $1000,
17
TOWN REPORT
making the amount to be expended from January 1st to May 1st, $1560.38. I wish to thank the property owners for the good work they have done and the assistance they have given your superintendent.
GEORGE H. GIBNEY, Local Superintendent.
Report of the South Schoolhouse Extension Building Committee.
The committee submits the following report :
At the annual town meeting held last March a committee was appointed to investigate as to the best method of supplying additional room for scholars at the south Hamilton schoolhouse, as called for in the report of the school committee.
This committee attended to their duty and reported at a special meeting held May 15, 1906.
The small number of voters present necessitated an adjourn- ment to May 22, at which meeting it was voted to build an addition of four rooms to the South schoolhouse, and to pur- chase land of Alexander McDonald to enlarge the school yard.
The sum of $14,700 was voted to be raised and appro- priated for these purposes.
The investigating committee was elected a building com- mittee. The sum of $100 had been provided for use of the committee.
On May 24th the committee met and organized as follows :
George K. Knowlton, chairman George H. Gibney,
Everett A. Smith, Secretary Arthur C. Cummings,
Lester E. Libby, Frederick Winthrop,
Isaac F. Knowlton, Willard C. Ware,
Frank C. Norton in place of Frank P. Trussell, resigned.

TOWN REPORT
As it was desirable to have the addition completed as early in the opening part of the school year as possible business was pushed along rapidly.
Mr. Edwin B. Balcomb of Salem, was selected for the architect, he having given good satisfaction as architect of the original building.
A strip of land on the westerly boundary line of the school yard, 225 feet long and 60 feet wide was purchased for $700.
The contract for putting in the cellar was awarded to T. E. McGlauflin for $699.
The contract for the building was awarded to Henry B. Wallis & Son of Beverly for $11,053 and for pump work to C. J. Jager Co., Boston for $76.80 ; extra and other work done without contract. The work was sufficiently completed to open all the Schools in the building on Monday, October 1st.
The work has all been well done, and a vote of thanks was passed by the committee to Henry B. Wallis & Son for their prompt and faithful service in the constructon of the building, and also to Mr. E. B. Balcomb for his faithful work, and impartial superintendency.
An unfortunate matter occurred owing to a conflict between two state inspectors, whereby the two steam boilers in the base- ment had to be re-set and which put the town to quite an addi- tional expense.
If the Building Inspection Laws admit of this kind of work they should be changed at once.
