Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen :
Scouting the town thoroughly and spraying exten- sively, this department is happy to report the Gypsy Moth pest is well under control. Latest scouting shows only a normal amount of egg clusters are present.
However, our Elm Trees are in terrific danger of being wiped out. This department sprayed all Elm Trees last year and intends to the same this year. Only by continuous spraying with D.D.T. can we hope to com- bat the dreaded Dutch Elm disease.
The Tent Caterpillar and Fall Webworm are still quite numerous. Arsenate of Lead spraying will take care of these pests.
Respectfully submitted,
