OVERSEERS OF THE POOR
Our Almshouse is still under the management of Mr. and Mrs. George L. Burnham, and we feel that their manage- ment of the home and its inmates is all that could be asked for. The inmates are carefully looked after and well fed and clothed, and have everything done for them that people in their situation could ask for.
We would be pleased to have our townspeople visit this home, and see for themselves what is being done for the un- fortunate poor of our town
To make the establishment complete, a new barn is very much needed. While the house has every convenience, the barn is certainly insufficient for the needs of the farm, be- sides being very much out of repair, and it would be a waste of money to attempt to repair it.

TREE WARDEN'S REPORT
During the past year we are pleased to note the decrease of the Brown-tail Moth pest which threatened to destroy the trees of the town and I am pleased to say the property owners have been both willing and ready to assist us in the destruction of this pest. During the past year we have made a careful inspection of all property in the residential part of the town for the Gypsy moth and I am sorry to say that this is fast increasing in the town, and in order to keep them in check we shall have to have the united support of all prop- erty owners to subdue the pest as this is even worse than the dreaded Brown-tail Moth. We have up to the present time found the Gypsy Moth in 468 (four hundred and sixty-eight) places, and have found and treated over 7000 nests scattered all over the town from the North Reading line to Lawrence and from North Wilmington line to North Andover line. In scouting the places where the Gypsy Moth has been found we have endeavored to show the property owner the nests and also how to treat them as we find lots of people who do not yet know what they are. We have had the underbrush cut in the worst infested districts on the roadside some fifteen miles of road having been covered, and this will be burnt up as early as possible this spring. The work on the Brown- tail Moth will be finished on the highway by March 1st and about half of the private property has been cleaned up. We have made an inspection of some of the wood lots in the town on suggestion of the State superintendent and have found some very large colonies-in three places in particular. It is our intention to make a scout of more of the woodlots as soon as the residences are cleaned up and I would ask that a sum not less than $2500.00 be appropriated, that this
81
work of eradicating the pest may be carried on, and I would ask that the owners of orchards either cut down or cement up all hollow trees, as they are capital places for the Gypsy moth to harbor in.
J. H. PLAYDON,
Tree Warden.
REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF MILK 1
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen -
GENTLEMEN : I herewith submit my annual report for the year ending 1906.
There were thirty-one licenses granted for the sale of milk during the year. Four of these were for stores, two for the sale of cream, one for the sale of skimmed milk, and twenty- four peddlers.
During the year, various changes have been made, some going out of business and others selling out. The general tendency is to keep the milk up to the highest standard. I have taken samples from time to time and in no case was the milk below. It is gratifying to report that there have been few complaints and the dealers have alwas signified a willingness to do their part in keeping up the excellent standard of milk that is sold in town.
