Chelmsford, Feb. 1, 1913.
Report of the Supt. of Moth Work
The work of this department in the fall was in cutting and burning the brush in several parts of the town where there were heavy Gypsy colonies. This work was done on the Dalton Road, Dunstable Road, Adams and Sheldon Sts., River-neck Road, Woodbine St. and Keats St.
As the State is doing very little of this kind of work I would suggest that the town appropriate a small amount of money for this special work and a by-law passed that places once cleaned, the property owner adjoining such places should be made to cut it over at least once a year. This would be not only for his benefit but for the betterment of the town at large. The government having ceased operating here the roads have been thrown back on this department, and not having but four men it has been rather slow work. The general ideas is to spray, which in woodland districts, can be done with less expense. The power sprayer was run through the season without a single mishap and done excellent work. There were instances, however, where if more time could have been given that a smaller outfit would be more desirable. The State inspector makes his visit once a week and keeps in close touch with the work and anyone having complaints or suggestions to make they would be gladly received and looked after at once.
Yours respectfully,
MINOT A. BEAN.
Superintendent.
Report of Tree Warden
The work of this department has been confined to the planting of shade trees in the different villages, spraying for the elm-leaf beetle, removal of two large trees at the North village which were killed by gas, also the pruning and cementing of cavities of several trees. Many of the elms will have to be sprayed twice this spring, especially those at the North Village as the beetle had a strong hold there last year. I would suggest that the amount of money appropriated should be used this year in taking care of the old trees instead of planting new ones with the exceptions of filling in where a few have died. All complaints and suggestions of any kind would be gladly received.
Yours respectfully,
MINOT A. BEAN,
Tree Warden.

Report of the Forest Warden
Gentlemen of the Board of Selectmen :
There has been a great reduction in the cost of fighting forest fires during the past year largely through the efforts of the fire observer on Robbins Hill : the expense for the past year having been 60 per cent. less than the previous year.
Thirty-six forest fires have been extinguished, also we have rendered what help we could at about a dozen building and chimney fires where in most cases the deputy wardens were the only ones present with fire fighting apparatus. It would seem to be advisable for the town to purchase some fire extinguishers to be placed in the smaller villages in the town with a view to protecting buildings, for practically the only protection these villages now have is the equipment of the deputy forest wardens which is located with a view to protect- ing forest areas rather than buildings.
The eleven deputy wardens scattered through out are becoming more familiar with their work and I wish to thank them as well as the other town's people for their hearty co- operation during the past year.
About 300 permits were issued between March 1 and December 1 which is the time when permits are required for setting fires in the open air. All fires have been reported to the State Forester upon the blank provided for the purpose.
Following is a list of the forest fires.
