TREE WARDEN'S REPORT
In submitting my annual report to the voters of the town, I wish to thank the property owners for their assistance and co- operation in the destruction of the eggs, pupa and nests of the Gypsy and Browntail moths as by the united efforts, I am pleased to report a large decrease in the Browntail Moths, and I would ask that all tenants and property owners unite with us in des- troying the Gypsy Moths. The expense of this work can be greatly reduced by the tenants or property owners cutting down all worthless trees and by properly trimming all fruit trees and cementing or tinpatching the holes in the trees, as they are capital places for Gypsy Moths to deposit their eggs. During the past year, we have cut out about 25 miles of roadway, and burnt up the brush, and in order that the work may be carried on successfully it will be necessary to cut out the bushes on the main thoroughfares between the surrounding town and cities. I am pleased to note that some of the worst colonies of Gypsy Moths have been almost entirely wiped out during the past summer. These colonies were bordering on some of our most valuable wood lots. While the general condition of our town is more infested than last year, I am pleased to note that there is a decrease of about 70 per cent. in the number of Egg clusters found in the residental section. It is desirous to make a general scout of the wood lots in the Western part of the town in the early spring as Gypsy moths have been found in large numbers in some of the outlying districts in West Parish. This system has been approved by the State Department in order to pro- tect our wood lots and know the general condition of the town, and I would ask that the sum of $3000 00 (Three Thousand
80
Dollars,) be appropriated that the work may be carried on, as we have two large wood lots which have to be taken care of at once if the trees are to be saved, and we find from past exper- ience that a dollar well expended in the start is worth $100 00 (One hundred Dollars,) later on.
Respectfully, JOHN H. PLAYDON, Tree Warden.
REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF MILK
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen-
GENTLEMEN : There has been issued for the sale of milk and Cream at retail this year, 26 licenses to peddlers, 6 to the stores for the sale of milk, and 5 to stores for the sale of cream making a total of 37.
Samples have been taken from the stores and wagons all of which have been tested for the per cent. of Butter fats and some for the more common preservatives.
Only one sample was below the standard and two were very close to the line, with these exceptions the milk was of very good quality, well handled and free from dirt.
Special attention has been paid to the condition of the cans and wagons and found them excellent, while the cans and refrigera- tors in the stores were in good condition.
All the dealers seem to be anxious to put out milk of highest standard and several have brought in samples from time to time to be tested.
Have made a few preliminary tests on samples of butter for oleomargarine and renovated butter and found them satisfactory.
Vinegar, I could not test without costly apparatus, but the State Board of Health looks out for it.
Three dealers have given up their routes and two have sold out the past year.
Under the law passed last year, a legal standard has been es- tablished for cream and all dealers must take out licenses for sale of same.
Respectfully submitted, FRANKLIN H. STACEY, Ph. C.,
Inspector of Milk.
SPRING GROVE CEMETERY
The Cemetery Committee herewith submit their annual report for the year 1907:
The cemetery has been cared for in the usual manner and but little new work has been performed. Flower beds have been laid out and planted, shrubbery has been planted and vacant plots graded and made attractive. The ravine in the south part of the cemetery should be covered and much filling done in order that the same may be used for cemetery purposes. This will necess- itate quite a considerable expense, but, in the opinion of your com- mittee it is prudent so to do. Your committee therefore ask that an appropriation of $700.00 and the proceeds from the sale of lots, be made for the ensuing year.

PARK COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
The work of this department during the past year has been de- voted mainly to a continued development of the Common. With the exception of a small portion, the land is now brought to grade, and with a continuation of the policy of a small appropria- tion for another year or two, such as has been received during the past four years, the grading, shaping and making of walks will be practically completed. A temporary dam was constructed to hold the small pond which was made during the past year and the effect would seem to justify making this a permanent feature of the plat. Retaining walls along the brook and grading in the grove will be the first work to be taken up in the coming year, and when completed an attractive resting place will be provided for summer saunterers. The Commission has also done some work on the Carmel woods and has continued to maintain the various reservations within its care so that they have been attrac- tive additions to the town's beauty.
We recommend the appropriation of $1000.00 for the coming year to continue the work in accordance with the original plan.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN N. COLE, T. FRANK PRATT, M. E. GUTTERSON, Park Commissioners.
