PARK COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
The Park Commissioners have no lengthy report to make this year. At the last town meeting, $1000.00 was appropriated for the parks, $250.00 of which was voted for developing the field at Ballardvale. The $750.00 at our command has been spent in maintaining the Common and the Bowlders.
Nothing has been done at Mt. Carmel; it seemed to the Commissioners a waste of money to spend much there unless the town is willing to police it, at least on Sundays and holidays.
The work at the Playstead has continued steadily with the result that we have now a thoroughly built diamond and football field entirely satisfactory to the athletic interests of the town.
If permitted to go on with the work the coming season our plan is to develop the area in the rear of the Stowe School Building for tennis courts. In regard to the low and swampy portion the Commissioners at present are in doubt as to its development, but rather incline to making it a place that could be flooded for winter sports. The only drawback to this scheme is the uncertainty of the water supply from natural sources.
A beginning only has been made at Ballardvale. Our first plan was to rebuild the diamond, and Mr. Tarbell of Lowell was engaged to make surveys and do the work, but upon receiving word from citizens of that vicinity that there was no use for one . this year, we changed our plans and commenced at the street lines to tear out bushes and remove the stone wall, preparatory to grading and levelling for shrubbery and grass.
In conclusion we would respectfully ask for the usual appro- priations for the coming year, viz., $1000.00 for parks, of which $250.00 is to be spent at Ballardvale, and $1000.00 for the Playstead.

REPORT OF TREE WARDEN AND MOTH DEPARTMENT
During the past year about 50 shade trees have been planted in the various sections of the town, and during the summer dead trees removed and several of the elm trees trimmed and cemented up and I should recommend that the sum of five hundred dollars $500.00) be appropriated for this department during the coming year.
Respectfully submitted, J. H. PLAYDON, Tree Warden
In presenting my report of this department I am pleased to note that Gypsy and Browntail Moth work in the residential section is on the decrease, and in order that the same condition be maintained it is necessary to follow it up. During the past year another power sprayer has been added to our equipment, which will be of great help in spraying the woodlots and shade trees of our town and I would ask that the sum of three thousand dollars ($3000.00) be appropriated for the coming year, as all
the roadsides in the outlying districts which have been cared for for the past two years by the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture have now been turned over to this department and will have to be sprayed this coming summer, and from my own personal ob- servation I am a firm believer in spraying for all leaf-eating insects.
