The installation of this pump is quite simple and can be done under the direction of your present engineer. The Power Equipment Company will furnish a man free of cost to give advice and inspect the installation.
The Edison Illuminating Co. will run all necessary wires to the building free of cost and will also furnish a main switch with fuses.
I enclose with this letter the specification and proposal contract for the pump and motor, a catalogue giving general data on DeLaval Centrifugal Pump, and the schedule of power rates offered by the Edison Co.
I trust that the above covers what you wish and I will be very glad to furnish you with any additional informa- tion you may desire.
Yours very truly,

REPORT OF THE CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS
Lincoln, Mass., Jan. 31, 1912. To The Town of Lincoln :-
The Board of Cemetery Commissioners respectfully submit the following report:
At the Annual Town Meeting of March 4, 1912, the Town voted under Article 13 of the Warrant to accept the provisions of the revised laws of Chapter 78 and particularly Sections 21 to 25 of said Acts which refer to Cemeteries.
The Town also appropriated ($250.00) Two hundred and fifty dollars to be used for Cemetery work. At an early meeting of the Board the following organization was made :- Julius E. Eveleth, Chairman; Joseph S. Hart, Clerk.
During the year the usual work of cleaning has been attended to. A number of trees that were no longer use- ful or ornamental have been removed and those that it seemed desirable to retain carefully pruned with a view of saving them as long as possible.
In this connection we wish to suggest that many more should be removed, the larger part of which are located on private lots. In the opinion of your Commissioners by so doing a decided improvement would be made in the appearance of the ground. We refer particularly to the "pitch pines" that have withstood the storms of many winters and have outlived their usefulness. Without limbs or foliage they certainly are not ornamental and at most their future existence must be short. With a feeling that the wishes of private owners should be re- spected we have so far confined the cutting to the un- occupied parts of the Cemetery.
135
Suggestions from private owners regarding the matter would aid the Board materially in their work of the com- ing year.
The planting of more trees and a few clumps of orna- mental shrubbery at the various approaches seems a de- sirable feature of the future.
Referring to the matter of deeds from the Town to private owners of lots the Board respectfully requests all such to notify it in writing at their early convenience, stating their lot number or a description of the location, that a comparison may be made with the lists in the possession of the Board. By so doing they will not only assist the Board in its work but will also assure a full investigation of their claims. When identified the owner will receive a deed of the property from the Town estab- lishing an ownership that will save any future disappoint- ment to themselves or their families.
As the money becomes available from the various sources of income it is the desire of the Board to improve the triangular Cemetery and the one near the Town Hall. The matter of grading would add much to their appear- ance and would be a permanent improvement.
The total cemetery area comprises about thirteen acres and to keep so large an expanse of ground in even passable condition an appropriation from the Town of an amount equal to that of last year is respectfully requested by the Board, and should an increase of $50.00 be made it could be used to good advantage.
According to the Legislative provision under which we are now acting the Board of Commissioners has no longer a Treasurer. All monies pertaining to the department are to be held by the Treasurer of the Town.

TREE WARDEN'S REPORT
The Tree Warden submits to the Town his report for the year 1912.
The work of this department this year has been mostly against the brown tail and gipsy moths, and elm leaf beetle, and has been carried on as it was the previous year, cutting off the brown tail nests and cresoting gipsy moth nests along the roadsides, and on private property, where owners wish to pay for the labor. Tanglefoot bands were also put on trees along the roadside in the badly infested places, to keep the trees near the road from being stripped. Spraying began the last week in May, when the foliage was sufficiently developed to hold the spray, and continued until the last week in June, during this time all the trees on the highways, and about two hundred acres of woodland were sprayed with very good results. Commencing in July the underbrush, on the roadside on a good many of the highways was cut and piled up, and burned later on stormy days, when the men could not work on the trees, and there was no danger from the fires. The dead wood was also removed from the trees in the cemetery, and trees on the highways where it was necessary.
In reference to the gipsy moth question in this Town, it is a serious one; the residential section is in good con- dition, but comprises but a small part of the Town. The highways are almost all backed up by woodlands where there is never any work done, and makes it very hard in some places to keep the street trees from being stripped, the woodlands, however, which have been most badly im- fested are now comparatively clear of the gipsy moth.
138
This condition is a result of the cholera or what is called the wilt disease, which occurs whenever the caterpillars become overcrowded, and consequently poorly fed. Enough caterpillars, however are always left about the borders of these lots to start again. It then takes them about three years to increase sufficiently to strip the trees. This disease has been artificially produced by the State Moth Department, and distributed among the diffierent towns. We received enough of this disease to plant over five hundred acres, which was put out accord- ing to the directions. While results of the disease were not very good in the first part of the season in some places, I found a good many dead caterpillars and not so many nests later in the season.
I have made arrangements with the State to procure a large amount of the disease this year, it is not expensive, all the expense attached to it is the time it takes in dis- tributing it in the different places where there is no work done against the gipsy moth. The brown tail moth con- ditions change from year to year. Their flight is mostly controlled by the winds; if there are high winds during the early part of July when the moths are in their flight they will be blown from one place to another, laying their eggs wherever they happen to light. Several plantings of the brown tail fungeous have been made with very encouraging results.
The elm leaf beetle presents a serious problem for the Town's consideration. This year we carried on the process of spraying for the gipsy moth and the beetle together. This has been possible as they are both feeding on the tree at the same time, and it made a saving to the Town of a few hundred dollars. The time has now come how- ever, when we will have to give our elm trees a little more time and more arsenite of lead if we are going to save them from the ravages of the beetle.
The Town now owns three power sprayers and equip-
139
ment which have been used for a number of years in this work, two of which I have used and attained good results from under difficulties at times; the other one was divided into two parts so as to make it easier to handle in the woodlands spraying, but it proved a failure and was never put together. I used the different parts of it on the other sprayers when we wanted them. It would cost about two hundred dollars to put this sprayer in shape and then we would have an old sprayer. I think the Town had better sell this sprayer and purchase a new one, as we can get help from the State this year. I would like to have the Town take some action on the matter.
The total expenditure of this department this year was $4,264.58. We received $2,177.12 from private work, and $448.27 from the State, leaving a net cost to the Town of $1,639.19, and a unexpended balance of $861.81.
I recommend that $2,500.00 be appropriated this year: $2,0000.00 for moth work and $500.00 for tree work and elm leaf beetle.

Tree Warden.
