18 liquid measures sealed.


7 liquid measures. condemned


20 dry measures sealed.


2 dry measures condemned.


1 yard measure sealed.


2640 quart milk bottles sealed.


216 quart bottles condemned.


480 pint milk bottles sealed.


37 pint bottles condemned.


Total number of test made. 3,794


Total number of scales sealed. 84


Total number of scales condemned 8


Total number of weights sealed . 280


Total number of weights condemned 1


258 of the weights were found too light, some as much as 2 ounces, which means a great deal on platform scales, which equal 50, 500 or 1000 to one.


The State Commissioner has notified me that coal in transit must be re-weighed and the result of such inspections must be reported to his office any wilful violations of the law, must be prosocuted. This means more work and expense for the coming year.

REPORT OF LOCAL SUPERINTENDENT OF MOTH WORK


Report of Local Superintendent for the Suppression of Gypsy and Brown-tail Moths : -


At the beginning of the fiscal year of the town, which commenced March 1, 1907, we were clearing the trees of the brown-tail moth webs. This work was carried on with all the thoroughness that the funds at my disposal would permit ; and the town passed the inspection of the state inspector satisfactorily.


With the cessation of work on the brown-tail moths, the Gypsy moth claimed our attention, and the colonies, which had been revealed by the scout of 1906, were attended to. Burlapping the trees was first in order and approximately 14,000 trees were burlaped. This consumed over one ton of burlap. When the larvae were hatched and in a delicate state, oil burners were used with good effect in burning out infested walls and stone heaps. As the season advanced, spraying with arsenious poison was resorted to with gratify- ing results.


I take this opportunity to urge all owners of fruit trees to provide themselves with spraying outfits, as a thorough spraying is not only a great protection against all leaf-eating insects, but a great benefit to the fruit; the improved con- dition being apparent in every case of spraying.


Burlap turning, which followed the spraying, resulted in the location of many strong colonies of which we had had no previous knowledge. This work was carried on in earn- est until the larvae had all gone into the pupa state, which


92


occurs about September 1. A short time was spent in trim- ming and cementing trees, which is a work of importance to all who have hollow trees that they are anxious to preserve. Then a systematic scout of the town was started with men who had had experience the year before. This scout required the constant efforts of four men from September 20 until December 1, and resulted in the location of egg clusters on two hundred and fifty-six (256) different estates within the town limits and representing four hundred and eighty-six (486) colonies to which it will be necessary to give treatment this coming summer. The record of the scout shows that four thousand five hundred and forty-five (4,545) egg clusters were treated with creosote. Besides these, thousands have been destroyed in old trees which have been cut and burned and in infected walls and stone heaps.


The mechanical methods used in the suppression of the Gypsy moths have been successful beyond my expectations, as colonies receiving early and thorough treatment did not, under a most critical inspection in the fall, show ten per cent of their former strength. Although the town is classed by the state officials as being generally infested, the situa- tion is not regarded as serious, and if our territory receives proper attention this coming season the expense will be materially reduced in the future. Should the experiments in the propagation of parasites, which are being carried on by the combined efforts of the state and national governments at Saugus, prove successful, the task of suppression will be greatly lessened.


About December 1, the work of removing brown-tail webs from the trees was taken up again. A work of this nature in order to be successful needs the hearty co-opera- tion of the people which, I regret to say, was not the case at the beginning of the year, but the experiences of last summer have changed public opinion and the work which has been going on since December 1, 1907, to the end of the business year, February 29, has been received with a degree of cordiality wholly unexpected a year ago. This


93


fact, coupled with the promise of generous support by the State Superintendent, will enable us to put the town in a very desirable condition before the close of the present season.


Respectfully submitted. GEORGE B. B. WRIGHT, Local Supt. Moth Work.

REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN


In presenting this my annual report as Tree Warden, I am pleased to report a very noticeable increase in the interest manifested in trees over what was apparent when the tree warden law was passed.


Although an occasional necessity presents itself requiring the removal of a tree, there is an increasing demand for shade trees each year, which will eventually result in a very gratify- ing and improved appearance of the highways.


The duties of the Tree Warden would be much simplified if the street lines were clearly defined, a condition which would aid other town officials also.


My attention the past year has been turned to the pre- servation of old landmarks. The old elm on the common at the Centre. around which the children of the town have played for more than two hundred years, showed signs of old age, and was treated at considerable expense ; but I feel fully justi- fied in my effort to prolong the life of so valuable an orna- ment. There are several other subjects in different parts of the town which should be considered at the earliest oppor- tunity.


I regret to say that the elm leaf beetle put in appearance the past summer in such numbers that I felt justified in spray- ing the larvae with kerosene emulsion. A general outburst throughout the coming season is anticipated by State officials, in which case strenuous efforts for suppression will become necessary.


Respectfully submitted,


GEO. B. B. WRIGHT,


Tree Warden.


REPORT OF THE CEMETERY COMMISSION


The Commissioners take pleasure in presenting their annual report of the condition of the Cemeteries of the town. It has been our endeavor to keep the Cemeteries in an attract- ive condition and, when finances will permit, to do some new work each year.


At Riverside Cemetery we have introduced a new water supply. It is connected with the system recently installed in the North village. Outside of this no new work has been done. We are pleased to note the improved condition in this cemetery, which has been brought about by the lot owners to a great extent. Keeping the graves of our loved ones green and fresh flowers upon the same is a mark of respect that we all should show. Mr. James S. Wotton has had charge the past year.


At the West Cemetery shrubs have been set out around the receiving tomb at the left of the entrance and have helped to beautify this section of the grounds. The people of the West village are justified in the pride they have in their cemetery because of its continued improved and artistic con- dition. Mr. A. F. Whidden has had charge, and the Com- mission feels that he is a valuable man for the position. Imme- diate steps must be taken to put the new part in condition for burial purposes, as there are but four lots left in the old section.


At Hart Pond Cemetery a row of eight maple trees have been set out and are in a thriving condition. The light nature of the soil there makes it difficult to do much with grass and shrubbery. Mr. Daniel P. Byam has had charge the past year.

The care of Forefathers and Pine Ridge Cemeteries have been in charge of J. Roland Parkhurst, and they have received the best of attention. The best results in work of any kind can be obtained from persons having natural taste and a liking for that particular kind of work. Such is the case with Mr. Parkhurst, he having made the study of plants and shrubs his life's work. This, coupled with the association of the old burying ground, has made his services the best.


In Forefathers Cemetery, the old part that was seeded down four years ago has been well cared for, and some of the walks put in better condition in the new part.


In Pine Ridge, there is certainly the opportunity for making a beautiful cemetery. We have kept the brush cut down on that part not used for burial purposes and walks and avenues free from weeds. We have had one new avenue sur- veyed, and it is our intention to put it in good condition the coming spring. This will make several new lots available, as well as opening up a way to the single graves.


Your Commissioners urge the co-operation of all lot owners in this work of caring for the cemeteries. It is the individual well-cared-for lots that help to make the more beautiful whole.
