ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF TREE WARDEN
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
As you know, this department does just hit or miss work with the funds allotted. Of course, my job first is in respect to safety of the pedestrians, or one traveling along our high- ways, therefore, all overhanging branches and dead wood which looked dangerous were taken out on a number of streets. Fifty (50) trees were gone over with a wound dressing or paint to prevent decay where large limbs were sawed off or other ways injured. Four large dead trees were cut down. Under Chapter 81, brush cutting was carried out on all highways.
I recommend to you that the sum of $100.00 be appro- priated for 1937.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF MOTH DEPARTMENT
To The Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Gentlemen :-
Your Moth Superintendent herewith submits his report to you on condition of Gypsy Moth infestation.
During the year 1936, the moths have continued to in- crease at somewhat greater rate than that of the previous year (1935). Large areas of woodland are now badly in- fested more or less, and it is almost impossible to predict exactly in what part of the town the infestation will be heav- iest. Inspection this last fall shows that a great amount of work will have to be done during the winter and spring to hold the moths in check.
Scouting and spraying work was carried out as far as funds would allow and all State reports have been sent to State Forest Department.
The liability to the Town for 1936 is $661.54.
Amount appropriated including Moth Tax $796.00
Amount Expended 790.02
