WATER COMMISSIONERS REPORT.
The Water Commissioners herewith present their Annual Report :-
The work of the past year, so far as the Commissioners have been concerned, has been of a routine nature; no construction work having been done; the repairs at the Pumping Station and upon the pipes being made under the direction of the Superintendent.
The pumping has been done during the entire year by the Laidlaw-Dunn-Gordon Pump, the Dean Pump being kept in good repair to be used only in case of necessity.
Three bad leaks have occurred in the cement-lined pipe and in each case a large quantity of water was lost.
The total consumption of water for the year, as re- ported in the Statistics of Consumption, is taken from the records of the Venturii Meter at the Pumping Sta- tion, with the exception of the months of March and April, when the meter records were incomplete, and the Pump Records were used, and is the actual amount of water taken from the pond.
This amount may seem large, but when we consider that 28,098,800 gallons or 45.7% of the total consump- tion passes through 35 meters and that the balance of 54.3% cares for the leaks as noted above, the loss at the Reservoir through evaporation and leakage, which during a portion of the time between April 1 and Oct. 1, according to the Venturii Meter Records, was over 2,600,000 gallons, together with the amount of water lost in blowing off the pipes at the dead ends, which is quite an item, and also whatever leakage occurs on the twenty-
102
four miles of pipe; the amount is not excessive. We doubt if there is another municipality in the country which has so long a pipe line to supply so small a popula- tion as this Town.
The water in the Pond continues at a very low level, notwithstanding the fact that Concord has drawn but small amounts during the latter part of the year.
Electric lights have been installed at the Pumping Station at a small expense.
The Treasurers Report shows uncollected water rates of $85.
In order to keep the water works self-sustaining, as the Town voted some years ago, it will be necessary to keep the expenses at the minimum during the next four years, when the $1,000 bonds now becoming due each year will be extinguished.
For the Commission,
GEORGE L. CHAPIN, Chairman.

REPORT OF TREE WARDEN.
The effort of the Tree Warden this year has been to hold the gypsy and brown-tail moths in check along the roads the government were not looking after, and on private estates where the owners wished it and were willing to pay for the same.
In the winter of 1909-10 about 300 acres were looked over, and the gypsy moth nests found were creosoted. A considerable number of brown tail nests were also taken off of private estates. Tanglefoot was put on the roadside trees where it was used the year before, and on private grounds, on trees along walls and other places where a large number of gypsy moth nests were liable to be hid. Not much burlap was used this year.
As early as satisfactory spraying could be done, one sprayer was started spraying on the roadsides, and one on private grounds.
Most of the roadsides looked after by the Town were gone over twice. The second spraying saving a good deal of time in looking over the tanglefoot, and the number of nests to be climbed for later.
As soon as satisfactory spraying could be done in the woods, the third sprayer was started.
Not much injury to the foliage was caused by the moths along the roadsides, though in a number of places the woods were stripped up to the road limit cared for, making a difficult line to hold.
About 100 acres were sprayed on private places without any assistance of the owner-about 220 with more or
111
less assistance from the owner. When the weather was not suitable for spraying, and for a few days before and after, the tanglefoot was freshened by combing, to keep the caterpillars from crossing, and those below it were killed.
Trimming was done for electric wires along some ten miles of road.
It is a difficult matter to free the wires without seri- ously injuring many of the good shade trees.
Dead limbs and some of the least desirable trees were removed on several miles of road this fall.
In December and January, just passed, about 200 acres have been looked over, and the gypsy moth nests found creosoted.
The total expenditure for the moth work was $6,039.97. $2,029 was in supplies from the state, which do not appear on the Treasurer's account, and about $1,000 also was re- ceived as cash reimbursement from the state, and $2,000 was also turned over to the Treasurer from private work in Town.
I wish to thank the Advisory Committee on the moth work for their interest and advice.
U. S. Government Work.
The government work, which has helped out the Town of Lincoln so much in the way of putting our road- sides bordered by woodlands into condition for the easier control of the gypsy and brown-tail moths, have about completed their work here, and are working in the towns west of us, where it seems more needed.
These trees along the streets they have cut out should be protected from the work of the moths, to save the trees, and prevent the spreading of the moths by passing vehicles, so that the benefit of their work should not be lost to the Town, or the government.
112
Wilt Disease.
For some reason, possibly from the carrying over of the wilt disease, the amount of woodland in town stripped by the gypsy moths this year was not so great as the number of nests would indicate.
Neither have starvation and the wilt disease cleared them from so much area as last year, or as I anticipated. The outlook for this year is not good. For some reason the moths are not so bad in the towns this side of Medford where the gypsy moths started, as they have been.
That condition appears to be coming this way, and to have reached nearly to the east border of the Town.
In Lincoln probably one-tenth of the private land is being cared for, and probably not more than that, in the portions outside the villages, in the other towns have been cared for. So hand work would not entirely ac- count for it.
Scientists have tried several ways of bringing on the wilt disease earlier in the season than it comes in nature, hoping in this way to kill off a larger proportion. They, and others, are planning a number of experiments for the coming season.
Parasites.
While impatient at not seeing more definite results from the parasites that are being liberated, it may be well to remember that the gypsy moths were in the open twenty years before they came to the attention of the public, so that State Aid was given for their suppression.
Several of the imported parasites, which it is hoped, will be helpful in the control of the gypsy and brown-tail moths, are known to have spread over large areas from where they were liberated. Some, from their present spread, would indicate that in a year or two more they will be spread as widely as the gypsy and brown-tail moths.
113
I have been pleased in my various visits at the parasite labratory to see the careful effort being made to develop that branch of the control work against these moths. It is interesting to watch the battle of these scientists in their effort to check the ravages of these moths.
Elm Leaf Beetle.
The elm leaf beetle appeared seriously over the Town for the first time the past year or two. Apparently two sprayings will hold them in check, when done under favorable conditions. Those having large old elms will do well to watch them carefully, and keep them in good condition, lest they be injured or killed by their numerous insect enemies.
The first spraying is for the adult beetle, which have wintered over in various sheltered places, and may be applied to the upper side of the leaves as soon as they come of full size, and is important, if the beetles are thick, to kill off as many as. possible before the eggs are laid. One indication of their numbers is the number of holes, similar to shot holes, in the leaves.
The second spraying should be done when the larvae begin feeding, the latter part of June, and should be applied to the under side of the leaves, where the larvae feed, leaving the veins and upper side of the leaf.
Leopard Moth.
The leopard moth is considered one of the enemies which have caused the death of so many of the elms around Harvard College, and other parts of Cambridge.
Three or four specimens of injury to limbs by borers have come to my attention the past year which appear like the work of this moth, and were so considered by people I referred them to.
114
The English sparrow, by driving off the native birds, such as nut hatches, chickadees, and smaller wood- peckers leave the trees much more open to the attack of such insects.
A few years ago I saw a pair of English sparrows in an apple tree in my garden pitching out from their nest young nut hatches that were nearly ready to fly.
Electric Wires.
Electric wires have been run along ten miles of our most attractive roads, presenting a difficult problem to cut out enough to get good service on the wires, and not seriously injure many of the good young trees the wires run through.
The Secretary of the Forestry Association, one of whose duties is to give advice to Tree Wardens in their endeavor to protect the roadside trees, and Professor Stone of Amherst, who does a good deal in the same line, after going over the roads with me, where the electric wires run, each said good work had been done, both for the convenience of the wires, and for preserving the trees.
In doing this and other trimming we have endeavored to do the necessary cutting in a way not to jar ones feel- ings, but to leave it with as much as we could of the effect of the natural growth of nature.
It seems to me desirable to keep the appearance of some of our ways as distinctly country roads if possible.
Old Growth Woods.
Lincoln has several pieces of fine old-growth wood, which I am particularly anxious should be preserved. Most of it is owned by people who appreciate it, and are giving it the necessary care. It is doubtful if the younger growth of white pine and pasture oak will ever give us such fine specimens as some of these which we still have.
115
Trees Resistant to the Gypsy Moth.
Mr. Rogers, in charge of the U. S. Government work, kindly gave me the following list of trees resistent in the order named, to the work of the gypsy moth.
Ash, horse-chestnut, butternut, hickory, and trees with compound leaves and evergreen, lilac and soft maples.
The following list subject to attack, in the order named :-
Apple, oak, willow, birch and elm.
To show that one spraying will not necessarily keep the gypsy moths from laying their eggs on a tree,-I saw where a gypsy moth caterpillar had turned into a pupa of a female gypsy while hanging on the dry arsenate of lead and a few inches above the soft paste of the arsenate, in a keg on my place.
Danger from Spraying.
It requires careful judgment, especially along road- sides, to apply ten tons of poison without doing con- siderable damage.
Difficulty in getting water to the sprayers, sometimes causes delay. Before the end of the season most of the smaller ponds were dried up, and water was crossing the roads in Town in but four places, and in these the water was very low.
Much credit is due to good work done by owners on their own lands. Spraying in August for the brown-tails has been tried, and may be a good way to hold them in check. The poison from the late spraying for gypsy moths in places seems to have stayed on and killed off
116
many of the young brown-tail caterpillars when they began to feed in the middle or last of August.
The San Jose Scale is thoroughly spread over the Town and is a great menace to the orchards.
Some Observations.
It is not easy to tell what work the gypsy moths will do in a given locality. In two places in Town which I have been watching, of about 150 acres each, the gypsy moths have stripped the foliage and apparently have died off through starvation and wilt disease, so that scarcely a new nest is in sight. In one, a few white oaks are dead, but practically no damage is done. In the other nearly all the trees are killed. In one place where the moths have killed the hardwood trees the worst, the seedling pines are entirely uninjured, and are looking especially thrifty. In another place the seedling pines up to 15 or 20 feet high are killed, and the hardwood trees prac- tically uninjured. This year in places the gypsy nests are much heavier on the black oaks than the white. This is the first year the brown-tail moths have been serious generally over the Town. Unless fungus or some disease sets in, the tops of the white oaks over considerable areas are likely to be killed the coming season. from the stripping by the brown-tails, followed by the feeding of the gypsy moths. Brown-tail moth nests should be taken off before the 1st of April, and the gypsy moths hatch by the 1st to the 10th of May.
Where the brown-tail moths are thick, spraying is unsatisfactory. Where the gypsy moths are thick a single spraying is not sufficient.
On one piece of road where the brush and gypsy moth nests were so thick it was difficult to do satisfactory work . creosoting the nests, no creosoting was done.
117
Three sprayings held the foliage quite well, except on some of the white oaks, where the brown-tails kept the foliage down, so there was nothing to catch the spray on. On these trees at the end of the season the gypsy-moth nests were extremely thick.
One who is familiar with the work here, and the con- ditions in Europe, thinks the final solving of the moth problem will come through planting of evergreens and trees they do not attack.
Very respectfully,
EDWARD R. FARRAR.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE LINCOLN PUBLIC LIBRARY
The Trustees respectfully herewith submit the usual statistical exhibit of the Librarian, presenting the essen- tial facts connected with the working of the institution under her charge during the past year. . As no material change in the methods of conducting the Library have taken place during the past year, the Trustees do not consider it necessary to submit any further detailed report.
The Trustees would ask for $400, the same amount as was appropriated last year for the institution; this, in addition to the dog tax. They would further ask for a special appropriation of $300, to complete the installation of the electric light service, which will be a great con- venience and conducive to an improved and increasing use of the reading room.
By order of the Trustees.
