TREE WARDENS' REPORT.
I have planted this year 100 trees : Twenty on Main street ; twenty on Charles street, and the others in different parts of the town: a part of which were trees replaced in lines of former planting.
It has been my policy to plant good trees grown in this locality, which, while the first cost is more, I believe they are cheaper in the end than western grown trees.
It should be the policy of the town to plant about this number of trees each year, as even then it will be a good many years before we have all our streets supplied with necessary shade trees.
We all appreciate a shady street in hot weather, and have had cause to admire the fine trees along it.
Some people say, "What is the use of our planting trees, as they will do us no good?" But if others had been of the same mind in years gone by, we should not today have many of the noble trees that we now enjoy; and not only do they add to the beauty of a street, but by retaining the mois- ture, keep the streets in better condition.
The town may appropriate fifty cents for every poll as- sessed, and this year I hope it will do so, whether I am tree warden or not. As I said, we have about 500 young trees, all requiring some attention each year if we are to get the best results from them-the trees should be dug around and mulched for a few years, or until they get a start, as it is just as impossible to grow a tree without fertilizer, as it is to grow any other plant.
Considering our position as a town where a great many people come to spend the summer, I think we should make it as attractive for them in this way as possible, for they are a class who appreciate natural beauties.

MOTH EXTERMINATION.
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT ON THE EX- TERMINATION OF THE GYPSY AND BROWN TAIL MOTH.
Oct. 31, 1905, under the direction of Mr. Frank A. Bates of Braintree, Superintendent of the Southern Division of Massachusetts, work was begun cutting and burning the nests of the Brown tail moth in the town of Scituate. They had gotten into this section in large quantities and made their nests in pear, apple, plum, wild cherry and swamp cherry trees, preferring those trees to all others. From that time the work was carried on until all the street and nearby trees had been cleaned, and most of the apple orchards in town.
The next Spring, 1906, it was found that if as stated, that each nest of the Brown tail moth average 250 caterpillars, 5,000,000 had been destroyed. About that time it was found that the Gypsy moth had arrived in town, having been brought here by conveyances of some kind from around Boston. Inspectors were sent here to help the local men and direct them in locating nests of the Gypsy moth. Eight nests were found in different parts of the town, and treated with creosote to kill the eggs, all trees within 100 feet of each nest were burlaped, so that if any eggs had fallen to the ground and hatched the caterpillar would be found under the burlap and destroyed. In the apple orchards some
-85-
of the trees were hollow and it was found that the Gypsy moth had laid her eggs inside the tree and they had hatched out; burlap was used and hundreds of Gypsy caterpillars killed. In two cases the trees were set afire inside and cleaned out in that way. The burlap should be examined at least every two days.
The Brown tail moth has done comparatively no damage here, except poisoning a number of people quite badly. The Brown tail caterpillar goes into the pupa form in June and then the danger of being poisoned is small.
In the case of one complaint requesting that the trees be sprayed to kill the Brown tail caterpillars, as members of his family and neighbors had been poisoned, it was found this person let the caterpillars hatch out, knowing of the nests, to see what they would do. There are very few nests to be found this year.
Every owner of trees, and orchards especially, should take great care in looking over his trees, and destroy all moth nests found; where the trees are hollow they should be filled up with cement or tinned carefully, then it is easy to handle the caterpillars.
Last Summer I received about 100 complaints in town that trees were infested with either Gypsy or Brown tail caterpillars; only two of these complaints proved to be Brown tails and none Gypsys.
On Elm trees mostly, were found large black caterpillars that people naturally thought were Gypsys, but in fact those large spiney caterpillars do little or no harm to trees except eating the leaves from a few branches and soon disappear; another caterpillar numerous last Summer was the Hickory Tussock moth, about one inch long, black and white, with white spines sticking up on its body and when spinning down on its web giving a white appearance. Later still the Fall web worm comes out on pear, apple, wild cherry and other trees, a brown worm making a large nest; the old
-86-
nests can be seen now in orchards and' along the road side. Spraying with arsenate of lead, dissolved in water, was used to destroy all kinds of caterpillars as far as a small sprayer would cover the foliage of the low trees. The town should have a sprayer suitable to spray any tree of ordinary height.
The work has been carried on under the direction of State Superintendent A. H. Kirkland, who has. been here personally, Division Superintendent, Frank A. Bates, who has been here many times, and is an expert on the moth business, and Mr. Wight, an able inspector, now of Rock- land.
Respectfully submitted, JETSON WADE, Local Supt. January 14, 1907.
FIRE ENGINEERS' REPORT.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Gentlemen :- The following is the report of the Fire De- partment for the year 1906:
During the year there has been but little demand for the services of the Fire Department, although frequent forest fires have occurred, caused by sparks from locomotives, and we feel it would be but just, that all services rendered at such fires should be paid for by the Railroad corporation.
The Department at the present time is in the best condi- tion since its organization, more interest being manifested by the members, especially where they have been supplied with proper apparatus with which to work in time of need.
During the past year, Hose Company No. 3 has received, in accordance with a vote of the town, a new combination hose wagon.
A new house has been built for Hose Co. No. 4 at North Scituate Beach. Four (4) hydrants have been added, mak- ing a total of one hundred and six ( 106) at the present time.
We would most respectfully call your attention to our recommendation of last year, that suitable ladders be sup- plied where needed.
We would recommend that the sum of eight hundred (800) dollars be raised and appropriated for the support of the four (4) hose companies.
Very respectfully yours, ALFRED A. SEAVERNS. Chief. JOSEPH A. WARD, Asst. Eng. F. W. LITCHFIELD, Clerk of Board. JOHN B. DAMON, Asst. Eng. JOHN F. TURNER, Asst. Eng.
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
Scituate, Mass .. January 1, 1907. To the Selectmen and Town Citizens :-
In rendering a report of the Board of Health for the year 1906, we shall submit a small amount of detail which may be of interest to voters of the town that do not come in direct contact with this part of the town's business.
At the Annual Town Meeting, Mr. Geo. O. Allen was re-elected and at the meeting of the Board unanimously chosen chairman.
In the past year the Board has had to deal with several cases of contagious diseases and each case has been con- fined to the original location.
In the early part of the year the town was quite troubled by an epidemic of measles, about fifty cases being reported to the Board, and although there were no serious results, there was a large diminution in the school attendance.
There have been made to the Board many complaints from No. Scituate Beach in regard to the condition of the cot- tages, extending from the corner of Causeway Avenue and Beach Street to the Glades Gate.
This locality is in a poor condition and the Board takes this means of requesting all property owners to provide proper vaults and cesspools for their premises.
As the attention of many has been called to this matter, we trust that there will be a general improvement in the condition without the Board taking any drastic measures with those who have not already complied with this request.
We are pleased to report this year that there has been no complaint made at No. Scituate Beach in regard to the dis-
-89-
posal of offal, as Mr. Charles Turner has properly attended to this, and furnished a repository for all refuse matter.
In regard to the Sanitary Sewer Cart. as there were so many demands for its use at No. Scituate Beach, it was deemed advisable to place the same in the charge of Mr. James Litchfield, who has attended to the demands in a prompt and efficient manner.
The Board has attended to the following cases.
Summary :
Diphtheria, 2 cases.
Scarlet fever,
4 cases.
Measles, 55 cases.
Complaints,
Fumigating;
25 cases. 6 cases.
The Board has sought faithfully to discharge its duties and wish to thank those with whom we have come in con- tact, for the prompt manner in which they have attended to our requests and instructions.
Respectfully submitted,
GEO. O. ALLEN, Chairman. FREDERIC COLE. THOS. H. FARMER, Secretary.
