ANNUAL REPORT
Class Ode
Towards the summit of knowledge together we've climbed, Cherred onward by eacher and friend;
And though rugged the path, yet the fruits we shall find For our care will repay in the end. And bidding farewell to our teachers, who e'en In our joys and sorrows have shared, Let us bravely go forth, in the future to glean Of the harvest their toil has prepared.
CHORUS
Then farewell to our school and farewell to the friends Who have lightened our pathway with love, Though todav we must part, yet our prayers will ascend That our school be united above.

The principal repairs on the East side of the town have been as follows :
Washington Street from Bacon St. to Fred Pauls was surfaced with crushed stone 7734 tons being used.
Messenger St. straightened and widened from one to six feet for a distance of 1400 feet. One dry well 4x4x6 feet dug stoned up and covered to take care of part of the surface water. 2600 feet of stone and gravel and Robinson's Hill graveled and put in good shape.
George St. 400 ft. stone and gravel, a new 10 inch Armco Iron Culvert replacing a stone one that was broken down and was filled up, also a 12 inch Tile one that had been broken.
Taunton St. 200 ft. stone and gravel, also mowing brush and general repairs on other Streets.
Owing to a greater amount of heavy travel on ac- count of detouring it will need a much larger outlay in the spring to put them in shape again especially Taunton and George Sts.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF MOTH DEPARTMENT
To the citizens of Plainville :
The suppression of the gypsy moth continues along the same as during the past years, with the usual winter work of creosoting the eggclusters of the moths and removal of brown-tails which has been done throughout the town. Infestation has completely disappeared in certain sections and is at least 80 percent. less than last year. One new place has sprung up in the center near the railroad which is now being cleaned up, slow but sure this will be on the decrease next year. Spraying was done last summer as usual, twelve hundred pounds of lead were used. The brown tail moths have left us and I hope they will never return.
The expenses will be found in the report of the selectmen.
The liability to the town for 1925 is $751.24 Moth Tax 68.00
Reimbursement from State 337 25
GEORGE H. SNELL, Moth Superintendent.
REPORT OF TREE WARDEN
Cross, High and part of Walnut street were sprayed for tent caterpillars last spring which were very bad, at a cost of $20.00. All the shade trees in center were gone over and trimmed where limbs hung over in the roads and sidewalks. Three trees were removed that were dead and one large elm limb was cut off that was broken in one of our bad thunder storms.
I recommend for the coming year to appropriate $100.00 for which a good per cent. will be used to plant- ing street trees on Lincoln Ave., which is in need of shade trees.
