ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF THE TREE DEPARTMENT
In early spring this department planted 85 Norway Maples through- out the town. Due to the care volunteered by the town's people, there were no losses on trees planted the previous year.
The usual pruning, removing, and emergency work was carried out.
Respectfully submitted, MYLES J. HOGAN, Tree Warden.
MOTH DEPARTMENT
Spraying was carried out in the usual manner; one dormant and two adult sprays at required intervals for the foliage. Spraying was completed and appeared satisfactory.
Respectfully submitted, MYLES J. HOGAN, Moth Supt.
POISON IVY
Poison Ivy Control was concentrated upon requests, and road sides thickly mattered with ivy. Requests for this service are on the in- crease.
Respectfully submitted,
MYLES J. HOGAN, Moth Supt.
DUTCH ELM CONTROL
Dutch Elm disease remains our big conservation problem and is expected to remain as such until a cure or satisfactory method of control is found. For the present all that can be done is to detect the diseased trees and remove as fast as financially possible.
This year 290 elms have been removed. Most all dangerous elms remaining have been topped and stubs will be removed soon. Con- siderable progress has been made this year in cleaning up the back- log of work, and this year should put this department's work on a current basis.
Respectfully submitted,
MYLES J. HOGAN, Tree Warden

ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
MOSQUITO CONTROL
Mosquito Control was carried out for the second year with con- siderable controversy as to its merits. Claims have been made as to the harmful effects to humans, wild life, and crops. Others commend both the comfort and protection it lends to encephalitis, malaria and other related diseases carried by the mosquito.
Having spent considerable time trying to find the answer, it is my opinion that ground application would appear to be the solution if this program is to be continued. This would provide better control whereas those who object to the spray could be considered. This method has been applied in other communities and was found to be the answer.
Although there is no conclusive proof, pro or con, it remains for the people of Chelmsford to draw their own conclusion as to the con- tinuation of this program.
Respectfully submitted, MYLES J. HOGAN, Moth Supt.
