TOWN DOCUMENTS
[Dec. 31
Forest Warden
To the Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen: The year 1930 saw a repetition of the exceedingly dry conditions in the woods caused by the lack of rain throughout the summer. As a result there were 59 forest fires recorded. None of these, however, assumed large proportions because of the prompt res- ponse and effective work of the fire department. The State Forester has repeatedly called attention to the importance of stamping out cigars and cigarettes before they are thrown away in places where they may cause fires. Notwithstanding these requests for caution, 17 of these fires were caused by cigars or cigarettes which had been thrown away, and two were caused by sparks from trains.
There were 240 permits issued for out-of-door fires as required by law, and attention of citizens is respectfully called to the fact that no bonfire should be lighted unless a permit has first been secured from the Forest Warden.
Respectfully submitted, BERNARD B. KENNEDY, Forest Warden.
Tree Warden
To the Citizens of Swampscott:
No damage to shade trees by storm occurred during the past year. The leaf-feeding insects have been controlled by spraying in season. The usual leopard moth work has been done and spraying for the cottony maple scale showed satisfactory results. Thirty-three trees have been removed from the highway because of being dead or in an unsafe con- dition. One hundred twenty-six trees have been planted and provided with wire tree guards. Low limbs have been removed from trees in all parts of the town and a thorough trimming of the trees on Phillips avenue has been completed. All the dead limbs have been removed from the trees on Burrill street. No injury from electric wires and no damage from escaping gas was recorded. The trees in the new nursery on the cemetery property have come along well, but should be allowed to remain there another year to secure a fuller growth before being set out on the highway. One hundred new trees were purchased and set out, together with twenty-six taken from the nursery.
