THE MODERATOR: Before we adjourn the business of this October 29, 1963 Special Town Meeting, we pause momentarily to express our deep gratitude to one who is no longer with us.
MR. ROBERTS distinguished himself in many ways. We remember him especially for his tireless efforts as a civic leader.

It is the sentiment of this meeting that we express the sincere gratitude of the Town of Braintree for the loyal, efficient and devoted years of service given our Town by ALBERT E. ROBERTS, by standing for a moment of silence in his memory.

REPORT OF SOUTH SHORE MOSQUITO CONTROL PROJECT
November 25, 1963
To the Citizens of the Town of Braintree:
Submitted herewith is the report of the South Shore Mosquito Control Project's activities in the Town of Braintree for the year ending October 31, 1963.
The Town of Braintree appropriated $5600 for mosquito control in 1963. This money was used for mosquito control in the Town of Braintree by the South Shore Mosquito Control Project, a cooperative effort embracing the City of Quincy and the Towns of Braintree, Cohasset, Duxbury, Hingham, Hull, Marshfield, Norwell, Scituate and Weymouth. The project is a year round operation based on a three-phase plan for the reduction of mosquitoes.
PERMANENT CONTROL
A method whereby, with the use of trenching equipment and hand labor, many shallow stagnant water areas are removed. This reduces the number of sites capable of breeding mosquitoes.
PREVENTIVE CONTROL
The preventing of the mosquito reaching its flying stage, by the use of small amounts of insecticide applied to the mosquito breeding sites (shallow, stagnant water) enabling us to prevent many mosquito larva and pupa from emerging to the adult biting insect. By larvaciding we can concentrate the attack on mosquitoes in their most vulnerable stage of life.
ADULT CONTROL
In spite of other control methods, there are some species of mosquitoes that are usually controlled by adult spraying - the culex (or house mosquito) that may breed in almost any container that will hold water over a few days period, making control over breeding sites impossible. By using mist sprayers and thermal foggers we are able to reduce the droplet size so small amounts of insecticide can be applied over a large area, enough to get a mosquito kill and yet keep the insecticide residue to a minimum.
With this as a basic plan, the following was done in the Town of Braintree last year. 13,550 ffet of existing drainage were cleared of their blockages to reduce mosquito breeding sites.
1400 gallons of insecticide were applied by aircraft to treat 1400 acreas for the spring brood of aedes mosquitoes that appear in early summer. 225 pounds of insecticidal dust were applied to 110 acres by ground equipment to smaller wet areas.
745 gallons of insecticide were applied to 745 acres for larval and pupal control. 350 gallons of insecticide were applied by mist blower to 350 acres for adult as well as larval control. 3225 catchbasins found to be breeding mosquitoes were sprayed.
The insecticides used by the South Shore Mosquito Control Project are:
D.D.T., both dust and liquid
103
Dieldrin, both liquid and granules (dump areas)
Malathion (fog and spray)
DiBrom #14 (fog)
Baytex 29496 (catchbasins)
All applications are made not exceeding dosage recommended on regis- tered labels for the control of mosquitoes.
The Project wishes to acknowledge the help received from officials and departments of the Town and sincerely hopes that the benefits derived by these departments as a result of this cooperation are as great as those derived by the Project.
Respectfully submitted, SIMON J. VENEAU Superintendent
REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN
Honorable Board of Selectmen Town Hall So. Braintree, Mass.
Gentlemen:
I respectfully submit the following report as Tree Warden for the year ending Dec. 31, 1963.
All work approved in the 1963 budget for General care and Tree removal has been completed.
300 new Trees were planted throughout the Town.
The Tree bank supplied 100 new trees this year for street planting. 100 other trees were replanted in the Tree bank. The Tree bank now has a population of 1000 young Trees for future planting.
I hope to continue the Tree planting program as there is still a great need for Trees in the new developments and older sections of the Town.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN F. LEETCH Tree Warden

REPORT OF THE BRAINTREE CONSERVATION COMMISSION
January 15, 1964
Board of Selectmen Braintree Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
The Braintree Conservation Commission was approved by the 1963 March Town Meeting, established by the Selectmen in May 1963 and held its first meeting on May 23, 1963.
The Commission's purpose is to serve the Town and to assist regional, state and federal agencies in conservation matters. The Commission is not involved in the present operation of the Town of Braintree, but concentrates its efforts on the protection of our natural resources for the use of future generations. The Commission convened approximately every two weeks and met with representatives from the Massachusetts Department of Natural Resources, other Braintree Boards and Commissions, representatives of Quincy, Holbrook, Randolph, and Weymouth.
We feel that the most urgent need is to preserve open space areas in the Braintree Dam, Broad Meadows, Pond Meadows, Eatons Pond, and Cranberry Pond areas. These open space areas were selected because of flooding protection, water supply, recreation, and the possibility of a green belt area.
Although we were unsuccessful in obtaining the ownership of the Braintree Dam area from the City of Quincy, this matter still is of paramount import- ance, and has top priority.
We discussed with the Weymouth officials the flooding of the Weymouth Landing area because of Smelt Brook. We talked with officials in Holbrook and Randolph about establishing a green belt area to separate the towns.
Unfortunately, because of the time factor, the Conservation Commission was unable to present Articles to the Town Meeting. However, we are hopeful of our progress because many people are now thinking seriously about the conservation of our natural resources and its vital importance.
The Commission is grateful to the Braintree officials and citizens and the Braintree Garden Club who cooperated with us during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
John J. Cusack, Chairman Priscilla H. Daiute, Secretary Harry C. Lake Howard J. Rose Ralph M. Soule
