The distribution line from Kent Street to the Second Cliff is in a very precarious condition due to the action of the salt water on the cast iron pipe. This main should be replaced with Transite immediately after the war is over. A similar condition exists on Gannett Road at the several bridges where the water main is laid in the marsh. The main should be extended westerly on First Parish Road to replace a small shallow line that is now serving a number of dwellings.
WILLIAM J. LUMBERT, Superintendent.

TREE WARDEN'S AND TOWN FOREST COMMITTEE'S REPORTS
REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Gentlemen :
This year there were forty-two maple and twenty elm shade trees planted on our roadsides. These are growing well.
All brush on bad corners and intersections has been cut at least once.
The Gypsy Moth is not as bad in Scituate as it is in some of our neighboring towns. Two small colonies were found this year and destroyed. The Brown Tail Moth was found in Humarock Beach last year and destroyed by cutting and spraying.
Our elm trees were sprayed twice this summer. No signs of the Dutch Ehm Disease have been found in our section of the state. In 1941 it was found in the Town of Alford, Berkshire County. This is the first found in Massachusetts. Spraying to kill the Elm Tree Beetle is the best way to stop this disease.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN W. FORD, Tree Warden.
REPORT OF THE TOWN FOREST COMMITTEE
Last year death took our chairman, Mr. William F. Ford, who had been chairman since the Town Forest project was started in 1924. At a meeting of the Selectmen held October 8, 1942, Mr. John W. Ford, the son of Mr. William F. Ford, was appointed to serve as a member of the Town Forest Committee.
Since being appointed he has done a vast amount of trimming at both forests and as the small trees have made a wonderful growth, they will need a great deal of trimming out this coming year to give a better chance to let the smaller trees grow.
These Town Forests are easily accessible and a fine recreation spot.

TREASURER'S RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES REPORT
