Many autoists and also horseback riders drive too swiftly and carelessly through the cemetery. We again ask the public who so use the cemetery to respect the dead and the cemetery laws.
Work is still going on in beautifying the old railroad path and sides. This work will stretch over a period of years before it is fully completed as we can only spend a certain amount each year.
Over $4500.00 has been collected and turned back to. the town for perpetual care, sale of lots and interments.
The Trustees recommend an appropriation of $8700.00 to carry on the work of the cemetery.

REPORT OF TREE WARDEN
The Tree Department has accomplished a good year's work, and submits the following report.
Approximately twenty-five miles of brush on the following roadsides and corners have been cut: County, Gould, Gray, Rattlesnake, Porter, Rocky Hill, Holt, Haggetts Pond, Chandler, Sunset Rock, Bancroft, and Bellevue Roads; Morton, High, Haverhill, North, Osgood, Woburn and Lowell Streets.
There have been one hundred fifty Norway Maples and eight American Elm trees set out and forty-five dead trees removed.
The usual amount of trimming has been done.
Through the co-operation of the Board of Public .. Works this Department was able to procure and place Community Christmas Trees in Ballardvale and Andover Square.
Cavities have been filled on trees located on the following streets : Chestnut, School, Central, Elm, and Essex, Maple and Punchard Avenues.
The estimated cost of finishing this work is five hundred dollars ($500.00). On account of the unemployment situation I would advise that this work be left over until another year and the money spent for roadside brushing.
To carry on the work of this Department, I recommend the sum of six thousand dollars ($6,000.00) be appropriated.
Respectfully submitted,
RALPH T. BERRY
Tree Warden

REPORT OF MOTH SUPERINTENDENT
The condition of the Town regarding the Gypsy moth situa- tion is good. Infestation is general but light. About fifty acres of woodland in the South district were stripped. This is con- siderably less than last year and caused by poor conditions be- yond the southern boundaries. We have been helped in our work this year by the parasites and wilt disease.
A few Browntail moth nests were found on private property.
The willows and poplar trees were heavily infested with the Satin moth but by continual spraying the situation is well in hand.
In addition to street tree spraying we have served several hun- dred fruit tree owners, the sum of $1.643.25 being realized from private work.
To carry on the work of this Department I recommend the sum of $5,000.00 be appropriated.

Health conditions in Andover for the past year have been excellent. At the time of writing this report the public is being informed that influenza has reached an epidemic stage in many of the European countries. In certain sections in this state there is an increased prevalence of grippe. Pneumonia is one of the worst complications which follow colds and influenza. The State Department of Health has sent notice to this board that there is nothing to warrant any immediate alarm concerning influenza.
Influenza, the common cold, or any respiratory infection is spread from secretions of the mouth and nose. One should be very careful about hands, coughing, sneezing and expectorating.
Hygiene cannot be too strongly emphasized; for if one takes the proper amount of plain food, plenty of exercise and sleep he will be less susceptible to disease.
One case of Diphtheria occurred this year. The child was 18 months old and had not had the Schick Test. Many physi- cians recommend this treatment after the child is six months old as there is a high mortality at this age from Diphtheria.
There have been very few cases of Scarlet Fever, Mumps or Measles in 1930. Reports of Dog Bite increased in number. Whooping Cough and Chicken Pox lead all other diseases.
The Chadwick Clinic, we believe, is the most beneficial clinic ever offered by the State Department of Health. The exami-
107
nations as conducted by this clinic, would have cost, privately, about $45.00 per child. This great privilege was offered to every parent, or guardian, free. Figures are not available at this date as to the results of this clinic. As soon as we receive the final tabulations they will be offered through the press. We would say at this time, however, that we heartily appreciate the excellent co-operation of parents and guardians which made this clinic so successful.
I again call attention to the fact that all contagious diseases must be reported by the physician, parent or guardian, to the Board of Health. Failure to do this often results in children being barred from school, as there is no record of their immunity.
