Report of Moth Superintendent
The moth department working with a reduced appropriation the past year left much needed work undone. Many scattered Gypsy-moth nests and a few Brown-tail nests were found. Heavy infestations of the Tent Caterpillar-the Fall web-worm and the advent of the Elm Beetle make it most imperative that we have our regular appropriation the coming year. To combat the Elm Beetle we must have a prolonged spray program. This Depart- ment returned to the Town through the private work the sum of $954.62.
To carry on the work of the Moth Department for the coming year, I recommend the sum of $4500.00 be appropriated.
RALPH T. BERRY, Moth Superintendent
Report of Tree Warden
The routine work of the Tree Department has been carried on the past year with the aid of help from the Andover Emergency Committee, Welfare Department and soldiers relief. Without this help much needed brush work could not have been done. The severe ice storm of April left many damaged trees and the tree department has partially completed the pruning work to over- come this condition. This Department is badly in need of a new truck, the present one being six years old and a very expensive proposition to keep on the road. The Tree Warden is inserting an article in the warrant to purchase same as it must be taken care of outside the regular appropriation. It is obvious in view of the dangerous character of the Dutch elm disease and the place the elm bark beetle plays as a carrier that the trimming out and burning of sickly or dying branches and the removal and destruc- tion of weak trees is the only reliable method of protecting our elms. A definite program should be carried on and in order to do this I recommend the sum of $4500.00 be appropriated.
Respectfully,
RALPH T. BERRY, Tree Warden

Spring Grove Cemetery
The Trustees of Spring Grove Cemetery submit the following report for the year 1933.
Extension work outside regular work was as follows:
Installed 1750 feet curbing, east side of cemetery.
Installed 30 cement steps and platform, east side.
Installed 152 feet culvert pipe, east and west side.
Installed 265 feet Akron pipe, west side.
Treated 800 feet with ashes and crushed stone on new road from Veterans' Lot to lower end of east side.
Treated 1200 feet crushed stone (dust) on railroad cut in cemetery. This divides the east and west sides of cemetery.
Set out 150 trees and 75 flowering shrubs in various parts of cemetery.
Mowed sprouts in 10 acres of land on east side.
Thinned out and burned brush on 5 acres of land, east side.
Our projects for 1934 are setting out more trees and shrubs in both east and west sides of cemetery.
Laying out and curbing 300 feet road, east side.
Seeding one acre of land on east side.
Treating roads with crushed stone, and curbing roads in all parts of cemetery in so far as our finances permit.
Removing old corner markers that are unsightly on lots in west side, and installing flat markers with initial of lot owner in their place.
Setting out small trees and shrubs in nursery for future use.
We again suggest to all lot owners whose lots at the present time are not under "Perpetual Care" the advisability of at once looking into this part of our service. When the last heir to a lot dies, and no provision is made for its care, this lot becomes a neglected lot and we have no fund to take care of these cases.
143
Would it not be of interest to you to have your lot put under care and know this service will be extended forever.
The Trustees will mail to each lot owner in 1934 a book of Cemetery Rules of Spring Grove Cemetery. This will contain full information relative to Perpetual Care, Yearly Care of Lots, Monuments, Markers and general rules of Cemetery.
Total receipts from Spring Grove Cemetery returned to Town, $4038.88.

1934 Town Warrant and Recommendations of the Finance Committee
To our Fellow Townspeople:
Having in mind at all times, the unemployment situation with the uncertainty of C.W.A. continuance, the needs of the various town departments, in some instances made greater and more urgent by past curtailment, the desires and ideas of the sponsors of the many special articles, and the interest of the taxpayer in maintaining a reasonable tax rate and not being unmindful of the fact that tax rate affects all citizens, taxpayers and non-taxpayers alike and finally the very credit of the town, your Finance Com- mittee, after thorough investigation and serious consideration of every item appearing on the warrant, and bearing in mind the increased yearly cost to the town due to the recently approved school project, makes the following recommendations and com- ments. (They also express their appreciation of the hearty coop- eration given them by every town committee.)
You the voters and taxpayers should bear in mind as we have the fact that, no matter in what manner the school project charges and the Federal grant are spread out the average net additional cost per year to the town, including repayment of principal inter- est at 312% and $5000. additional operating expense will be ap- proximately $25,500. or approximately $1.56 per thousand added to the tax rate.
This we are unable to consider in our estimate for the current year.
TOWN WARRANT
