CEMETERY COMMITTEE
In addition to the usual work of keeping the walks and drives of the cemetery in good order, much work has, and must be done, in grading and laying out the newly plotted addition to the cemetery. More than one hundred new lots are included in this new plot and they cannot be put in proper condition for burial purposes without the expenditure of time and money. Your committee therefore ask for a larger appropriation than has been granted in former years, believing that the same is necessary and must be expended for the purposes named.
We therefore ask for an appropriation of $500.00 and the proceeds from the sale of lots for the ensuing year.

PARK COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
The growing interest in public grounds has not been unappreciated in Andover. The laws of the Commonwealth have been changing year by year, ever tending to put larger obligations upon cities and towns to care for the public parks and other natural beauties in their midst. All this new legislation is but an echo of the growing public appreciation of the importance of maintaining such places. Ten years ago almost no attention was given to this work in Andover. The unkept places were just beginning to demand attention, and the work of the Village Improvement Society was taking its first steps. From the voluntary work of individuals, there has passed into public control much work that now demands public oversight and the expenditure of public money. Carmel Woods and the Common are the central points of interest. but the Boulders and several other like small plats are calling for care and money.
The plans of the Commissioners promise results of beauty and great public improvement, in the securing of which it is realized that slow steps must be taken. The scheme for beautifying and rendering useful the great public grounds, embracing the Common, the school grounds, and the new playstead, is rich in promise. A part of it can be realized only through private subscription, but there is much of it which the Town must carry out through annual expenditure of such an amount as seems wise.
Your Commissioners believe that at least a thousand dollars should be appropriated this year to advance this work effectively.

TREE WARDEN'S REPORT
During the past year we have been unable to cover the territory as efficiently as expected owing to the appearance of the much dreaded browntail moth, which has done so much damage to trees in the surrounding towns and which required immediate attention. During the early summer over twelve miles of roads in the outlying districts were made passable and in some instances it was impossible for two teams to pass. After the appearance of the browntail moth it was deemed advisable to devote the remainder of the appropriation, some two hundred dollars ($200.) to the sup- pression of the pest and accordingly that was taken up and I am pleased to say that more than half of the shade trees in the vicinity of one and one-half miles from the centre were thoroughly cleaned of the nests and I feel confident that two hundred and fifty dollars ($250.) will finish up the work this spring and which is available from our special appro- priation for that purpose. And I would ask that the owners of property and all tenants occupying the same will make a careful examination of the trees on such places for the browntail moth nests and have them removed at once and in that way help to preserve the beauty of our trees and assist the tree warden in this work, which must be united if it is to be successful. In closing I would ask that the sum of five hundred dollars be appropriated that the trimming of trees and the outlying districts may be properly attended to.
J. H. PLAYDON, Tree Warden.
REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF MILK
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen -
GENTLEMEN : I herewith submit my annual report for the year ending December 31, 1904.
There were thirty-three licenses granted for the sale of milk. Of these four were issued for the sale of milk in stores, one for the sale of skimmed milk, two for the sale of cream and twenty-six for peddlers. Under the statutes but one license is required for stores so long as the same person conducts business in the same place, consequently there was nothing collected for the store licenses which were re-issues from last year. There have been thirty-five samples of milk tested and but one of these was below the standard. Places for keeping milk that have been inspected were found to be clean and wholesome. The tests of the various samples of milk has shown a high standard ; no complaints have been received and no prosecutions made. The sum of $14.50 has been received for licenses.
Respectfully submitted, GEORGE E. HUSSEY, Inspector of Milk.
