ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF TREE WARDEN
To the Citizens of the Town of Randolph.
I hereby submit the following report of the work of your Tree Department for the year 1952.
Report of the Dutch Elm Disease in Randolph, Mass.
The Situation in Randolph
Randolph is in the unfortunate position of being located in one of the areas in the state most severely infected with the Dutch Elm Disease. In 1952, at total of 415 Elms are known definitely to have been infected with this disease in adjoining towns of Holbrook, Braintree, Quincy, Milton, Canton, and Stoughton. Randolph itself will have to take down 28 Elm Trees stricken with Dutch Elm Disease in 1953.
In Randolph, the town is faced not only with prospect of having to remove many of its beautiful Elms, but also with additional financial burden of having to plant new trees. It would be conservative to say that for every public Elm which must be taken down and a young tree planted in its place, the average cost to the town will be $100.00. The aesthetic value of the large old Elm cannot be measured in terms of dollars.
To combat this condition your Tree Warden, Joseph J. Hart, has taken samples of all Elm Trees and submitted them to the Shade Tree Laboratory at Amherst College. Their report shows that 28 trees in the town are affected by this disease and orders from the State Department of Con- servation demand that these trees be removed and all bran- ches and bark burned.
Thirty four dead trees were removed during the Year and a great many pruned. These trees were replaced where possible with new ones. All areas where children pass to and
128
TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.
from school, and all school yards and parks, and thickly settled areas throughout Randolph where Poison Ivy is pre- sent, I have sprayed and remedied this situation to best of my ability.
The never ceasing work of eliminating bushes because of view obstruction consitutes a dangerous menace to car drivers, has been taken care of.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH J. HART Tree Warden
REPORT OF MOTH SUPERINTENDENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Citizens of the Town of Randolph
I submit the following report of the Moth Department for the year of 1952.
D. D. T. in both liquid and powder forms were used on several colonies of Gypsy Moth as a spray with excellent results. Japanese Beetle was found in locations all over town. You may expect them anywhere this coming season. Remedies ; lead arsenate spray or powder or D. D. T. spray or dust. Heavy concentration of Fall Web Worms were found during the months of August and September. Lack of money prevented proper spraying, but provision has been made in the budget to remedy this condition.
The sprayer is in very bad condition, and the town must buy a new sprayer.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, through its In- sect Pest Control Department has notified this Department
129
ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT
that our liability for Gypsy Moth work for the coming year is $3,330.00 and have recommended that this Department ask for an appropriation of $3,330.00 to be expended solely for control against those insects specified in Section 11, as public nuisances.
Respectfully submitted, JOSEPH J. HART Moth Superintendent.
