Report of the Tree and Forest Warden
With the exception of the Chestnut Bark Disease and the Maple scale, the many pests, blights, and diseases to which our shade and forest trees are subject were not particularly active during the past season.
Although no Brown Tail or Gipsy Moth nests have been found in this Town, it would be well to examine one's trees, especially fruit trees, at least once each year, and any eggs or nests found should be reported to the Tree Warden.
Relative to the Chestnut Bark Disease, I will say that the disease is spreading, and, as the cost of fighting the disease would be prohibitive, the only remedy is to cut the trees before they become badly infested, as after that stage it is claimed by the State Forester they are almost worthless for lumber.
Owing to a serious infestation of the Maple Scale in certain parts of the Town, notably the whole of Precinct A, North Main Street, and the whole of Meadow Street in Precinct C, also to the fact that we sprayed our elm trees twice, the cost of spraying for 1912 was somewhat greater than in 1911.
After a recent thorough inspection of our maple trees I am pleased to say that the scale is almost entirely eliminated. I think all will agree that two sprayings are better than one; certainly our elm trees never looked better or carried their foliage later or remained green longer than the past season, and this in the face of the worst drought we have had in recent years.
There has been the usual amount of work done in planting,
73
trimming, and general highway work. Special attention has been given to protection of trees from trolley and electric light wires. Fifteen large maples have been repaired and bolted. This work is costly, but I think results will justify the expense.
One fact I wish to call to the attention of the voters, is the increasing cost of removing and working on highway shade trees on account of the large number of electric and other wires. A few years ago if we wished to remove a tree we simply took an ax or saw and cut it off at the most convenient point, letting it fall naturally. Now we have the complicated problem of taking it down in pieces, each piece at a time, with guy ropes, strain ropes, pulley blocks, etc., making the work not only costly but in some cases exceedingly dangerous. This is a factor that must be taken into consideration in making appropriation for the Forestry Department.
The past season we had one serious accident, namely, that of William Vodrien, which cost about $150.00 to settle, $74.50 being paid as wages and the balance as physician's fees, care, medicine.
FOREST FIRES.
In comparison with other years, we have been very fortunate in regard to forest fires. The past season we have had one large forest fire on Provin Mountain, Feeding Hills. This fire proved a hard fire to extinguish, help being sent from Westfield and Southwick, and was subdued only after 36 hours of hard work. This proved the most expensive forest fire to extinguish in recent years, owing to its situation being exceedingly difficult to get at. A number of small fires were reported and extinguished before any great damage was done. Seventy-five permits have been granted.
No. of acres burned (estimated). 100 Amount of damage (estimated) . $1,200.00:

Report of School Committee
To the Citizens of Agawam :-
Agreeable to our request of a year ago you voted to build two-room additions to the brick school buildings at Agawam Center and at Feeding Hills Center. These additions have been completed and are in use, and we now have at the three villages of this town school buildings that are conveniently arranged and are a credit to the town. The two one-room primary buildings at Agawam Center and Feeding Hills Center have been temporarily closed, but if the school population continues to increase as rapidly as it has during the past few years they will be needed again soon.
The Suffield Street School building has been shingled, the foundation walls have been repaired, the interior has been plastered, and the walls tinted, so that now this building is in better condition than for some time.
Considerable money has also been expended on the Mitti- neague building and on the old portions of the buildings at Agawam Center and Feeding Hills Center. However, there is urgent need of a considerable outlay on the interior of the four old rooms in the brick buildings at Agawam and Feeding Hills. The walls and ceilings are in bad shape in all four rooms, and we would advise refinishing the side walls and the placing of metal ceiling on the ceilings, also the rearrangement of the electrical wiring, and some new fixtures. At Mittineague the outside of the building needs painting.
In regard to the matter of transportation, we suppose that it is understood that towns are not obliged by law to furnish any transportation whatever, but it has been the policy of your Committee for several years to furnish transportation during
85
the winter term, and sometimes a little before or a little after, to children living at a long distance from school, and who are not accommodated by the trolly cars. We are sometimes asked to furnish transportation to pupils living on or near the car line, and also are sometimes asked to furnish transportation during the entire school year. To grant impartially all the transportation asked for or suggested would cost quite a large sum of money. Of course, if the Town desires to furnish the money needed the School Committee will expend it in the best manner possible. To do even the transportation now attempted in a thoroughly satisfactory manner the town should own several school wagons that would carry the children in comfort. We have one now, but it is not adequate for the needs of the route over which it is run.
We now have thirty-five pupils enrolled in the high school at West Springfield, and ten at Springfield. There are now twenty- three pupils enrolled in our ninth grade and we understand that twenty-one of them intend to go to one of the above high schools next fall. As there are only ten to graduate, this will mean quite an increase in high school pupils unless several drop out.
We believe that Superintendent and teachers are working together and working hard to obtain satisfactory results in our schools, and we bespeak your hearty co-operation with them and with the School Committee, so that it can always be said that there are no better elementary schools in the State than those in the town of Agawam.
We opened two new schools last September, but, of course, the expense of these new schools has been for only a part of our fiscal year. These schools for a full year will cost a little more money, which makes it necessary for us to ask for a small addition to our school appropriation.
