TREE WARDEN'S REPORT
During the past year we have trimmed out some fifteen miles of road, by removing the bushes in the outlying dis- tricts. We were unable to cover the town as efficiently as we would liked to have done, as the recent law enacted by the Legislature in May, 1905 relative to the destruction of the Gypsy and Brown tail Moth, necessitated a larger expen- diture of money than was anticipated. However the Brown tail Moth nests have been removed from all the trees and undergrowth on the highway from boundary to boundary. We have now within our town a far worse enemy to fight than the Brown tail Moth (namely the Gypsy moth) which will require the united effort of every property holder to keep in check. It has already been found in quite a number of places in Andover, in at least forty places already, which have all been carefully looked over and all egg clusters de- stroyed. The Gypsy moth question will have to be carried on uniformly from now and will require a large expenditure of money, as all trees in the immediate vicinity of the in- fested tree will have to be burlapped and the undergrowth cut out in order that we may keep it in check. In order that the voters may have some idea as to how wide a range the Gypsy Moth has gained I name the following territory : Main street, Chestnut, Elm, High, Morton, Central, Summer, . Salem, Highland Road, Porter, Poor, Bartlet, Florence, Hidden Road, Sunset Rock Road, Shawsheen Road and Fosters Pond. And in closing my report I would ask that all property owners will make an effort to rid their trees of these pests at once. We are already at work on private property and intend to clean up all places not already cleaned up, at once. And I would ask that the sum of twenty-five hundred dollars ($2500) be appropriated that the work may be carried on at once and in that way keep the Gypsy and Brown tail Moth in check.
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, 1905.
There were twenty-eight licenses granted for the sale of milk during the year. Four of these were issued for the sale of milk in stores, one for the sale of skimmed milk, two for the sale of cream and twenty-one pedlers. Samples of milk from the various dealers have been tested from time to time and have uniformly been above the standard. It is gratify- ing to report that there have been few complaints and the dealers have always signified a willingness to do their part in keeping up the excellent standard of milk that is sold in town.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE E. HUSSEY,
Inspector of Milk.
SPRING GROVE CEMETERY
The Cemetery Committee herewith submit their annual report for the year 1905:
The usual work needed for the care of the cemetery has been carefully executed and the new plot graded and made ready for interments. During the year the storage building in the cemetery was destroyed by an incendiary fire and a larger appropriation than usual will be needed to replace the same and carry on the work necessary for the care of the grounds. It is the desire of the committee that the town water might be made available for use in the cemetery, as many lot owners have requested that such an arrangement might be made. Your committee have also been requested to ask that the sidewalk, on the road running from Mr. Hemenway's to the cemetery, be placed in proper condition for public travel. Some years ago this walk was built, but of late has been in a miserable condition and would require but a small expenditure to place it in proper condition.
Your committee request that an appropriation of $1000, with the proceeds of the sale of lots, be made for the ensuing year.

PARK COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
The work carried on under the direction of the Park Com- missioners during the past year has centered round the Common, although some expense has been incurred in the care of Carmel Woods and maintenance of " The Boulders."
At the Common real progress has been made toward the completion of the full plan as set forth several years ago by the landscape architect. Many more shrubs have been set out, new paths constructed and a very ornamental, rough stone bridge now connects the two sections of the plot.
All of the work has been done here in a most thorough manner and a continuance of the present policy will in due time give to the town a beautiful park. The commissioners · will recommend within the next year or so the closing of the street between the Common and the public school grounds, so far as it exists as a public highway, the plan for the com- pletion of the full scheme providing for a park avenue which will care for all the travel while making the grounds more attractive.
As the plans develop for the lay out of this desirable cen- tral park, your commissioners believe that the public becomes more anxious for an early completion of the entire work. Certainly the appropriation this year should be no less than that of last year and our citizens should seriously consider the wisdom of an appropriation for the completion of the entire work.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN N. COLE, MYRON E. GUTTERSON, T. FRANK PRATT,
Park Commissioners.

REPORT OF TAX COLLECTOR
To the Board of Assessors :
With this I hand you my report for the year ending Jan. 9,1906.
While the results attained have not been all that I had hoped for, yet some gain has been made and the accounts for the past ten years, over which the uncollected taxes ex- tended, have been put into better shape, and some errors corrected, so that the coming year should show a still greater improvement. A careful going over of all these accounts for ten years, which seemed necessary before the Collector could feel that he was proceeding on a sure footing, has re- quired much time and correspondence and delayed some- what the actual work of collection.
, The assessors, after consulting the town counsel, abated the amounts found in the accompanying report for the years 1896 to 1901. They comprise almost entirely the poll taxes of deceased and poor persons, and of others who have gone away, also a small amount of personal property and real es- tate, which was not available, the stock or property having been sold out or changed hands, and the original owners having left town.
