REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of the Town of Arlington : -
GENTLEMEN : - I have the honor to submit my annual report as Inspector of Animals for the year ending December 31, 1904.
During the year there have been ten (10) horses found to be diseased with glanders, three (3) of them were owned outside of the Town.
In making my regular fall inspection, I have inspected two hundred and thirty-six (236) cows, and eight hundred and seventy (870) hogs, for tuberculosis and other contagious diseases. The owners were in all cases given the regular certi- ficate of inspection. I also inspected at this time eighty-five (85) stables, wherein these animals were stabled, and reports were in each case made out and sent to the State Bureau.
In all cases where contagious diseases have been found disin- fecting has been done by the State Bureau.
Respectfully submitted,
LAURENCE L. PEIRCE, M. D. V. Inspector of Animals.

REPORT OF PARK COMMISSIONERS.
During the past year the Park Commissioners have met regu- larly once a month, their principal work being the care and maintenance of Menotomy Rocks Park and the triangles on Medford Street; and the suppression of the Gypsy Moth at Menotomy Rocks Park.
The custom of having a care-taker at this Park has been con- tinued during the current year, until the snow came and he has demonstrated the need of having a man at this place on several occasions.
The use of this Park by the citizens as a picnic ground is in- creasing every year, and on Sundays there have been as many as 500 there during the day.
There have been removed from the Park some thirty or forty trees, mostly willows in the low places, which have furnished breeding places for the Gypsy Moth pest. Much of the under- brush has also been removed and an endeavor will be made to have a strip of trees cut all around the border, either on the Town's land or land of abutting owners, so as to isolate the Park trees from the surrounding woods. It is proposed to burn the leaves the following spring in the endeavor to destroy the Gypsy Moth.
The walks were repaired on several occasions this year, but are repeatedly washed out by heavy rains. The care-taker was instructed early in the year to prohibit all running of horses on the walks on account of the danger to pedestrians and destroy- ing of the walks.
Work was continued by H. L. Frost & Co. in destroying the Gypsy Moth until July 30, 1904, when they concluded to for-
172
PARK COMMISSIONERS.
feit their contract made with the Board in 1903 because they found the woods so badly infested that it was impossible to live up to their agreement, which was to prevent the trees from being defoliated in 1904.
About Nov. 1 the Board concluded to do what it could in destroying the Moth eggs with the appropriation on hand and have had its care-taker and five men at work on same until the first of the year.
As a matter of sentiment the Board believes all that is possi- ble should be done to save the trees of the Park, a strip of trees fifty feet wide should be cut all around the boundary where there are woods on the outside of the line. All walls and loose stones should be removed, as they furnish shelters for the Moths to lay their eggs. It is hoped that the Gypsy Moth Commit- tee appointed by the Town in November will see fit to expend a sufficient amount of money to take care of the pest for the ensuing year.
At Meadow Brook Park we think the Gypsy Moth can be cared for at a small expense but the Brown-Tail Moth has made greater inroads and the expense will be somewhat larger. These pests are a great menace to our trees and they can be kept in check only by the concerted action of both the Town and the citizens.
The grass has been taken care of on Russell Park and the triangles on Medford street, but owing to the reduction of the appropriation from last year, nothing has been done to care for Park Circle at the Heights, or Meadow Brook Park,. for the same reason nothing has been expended on Reservoir Park. .

REPORT OF THE BUILDING COMMITTEE OF THE WILLIAM E. PARMENTER SCHOOL,
To the Town of Arlington : -
Your committee appointed April 7, 1904, to have charge of the completion of the erection of the primary school building at the corner of Irving and Academy streets has completed its duties, with the exception of approving the final payment for the heating and ventilating apparatus.
The building was nearly completed early in the fall of 1904 and was occupied by the schools about two weeks after the be- ginning of the fall term.
At the time this committee was appointed, contracts had been made for all the work except heating, ventilating and lighting ; the foundation of the building was practically completed and the frame nearly erected, so that except for some slight changes made in a few details it was impossible for the committee to do otherwise than carry to completion the work which had been started, although it was the unanimous opinion of the com- mittee that the building was very much larger than was required or advisable for a four-room primary school building.
A building containing more space than is required to properly accommodate the pupils not only costs more for construction but the annual expense for heating and maintenance is greater. In the Parmenter school, which was designed for primary pupils the rooms are of the largest size required for grammar schools and the area of store rooms and corridors is sufficient for a building substantially twice its size.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON RUSSELL SCHOOL REPAIRS.
The work was commenced as soon in June as the school closed.
There were eight contractors who had the work in charge under the supervision of the Committee. Mr. James A. Harding, Heating Engineer took charge of the heating and ven- tilating and the contract was given to A. Duncan & Co. of Boston. The mason work was done by A. L. Bacon, carpenter work by O. B. Marston, painting by J. W. Harrington, plumb- ing by A. H. Knowles, and concrete by George H. Lowe, all of this Town. The work was done in a very satisfactory manner by all the parties and was completed in time allotted which was ten weeks.
There was a large addition made to the storage capacity in the basement for the storage of coal. One new boiler was added to the heating plant. The Direct Indirect heating ar- rangement was equal in capacity to the old method as was also the ventilation supplied by this system.
The building had all new floors laid except three which were put down the previous year. The desks of the old pattern were sold and new ones (about 200) put in their places. All the teachers' desks except two were exchanged for new ones.
The walls and ceilings were all newly tinted and all the woodwork was either painted or varnished throughout the building, inside and out. There were two teachers' rooms added with closets and furniture. The old blinds were taken off and curtains put in their place. A storage room for books and other articles used in the school rooms was made in the basement. The blackboards were nearly all renewed with slate.
The partitions between the dressing rooms were taken out and the rooms made much larger and more light and air

admitted to them. This was done by order of the School Committee and we were allowed the sum of $400 for such changes, provided, we had no appropriation to do the work. The School Committee was charged for the carpenter work only $233.33 and the mason and iron work was paid for by this Committee amounting to about $125.
The windows in the gables, eight in number, were found decayed and we put in new ones. The water from the roof which formerly ran on the surface of the concrete was taken under ground into blind wells. Parts of conductors were renewed, and the fences in the yard were repainted. The vane rod was reset and stayed. All the return pipes of the old system to the boilers were made new and laid in a trench covered with flat stone so that they will be easy of access in making repairs in the future.
The ventilating of the sanitary was made double the capacity of the old system. The stone steps were reset and two new granolithic steps at the basement doors put in The pipes of the old system were all newly covered at an expense of ninety dollars.
Two stairs were supplied with new treads and the speaking tubes were changed to new locations, also some of the electric lights. Picture. moulding was supplied in all the rooms and halls.
We were fortunate in securing the services of Mr. N. E. Whittier, the janitor of the building, who is a practical mechanic and was there all the time and worked for the committee.
We were allowed the appropriation of $12,500.00, plus $233.33, and we have expended the sum of $12,731.62

REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN
FOR THE YEAR ENDING DEC. 31, 1904.
ARLINGTON, December 31, 1904.
I have the honor herewith to submit my second Annual Re- port as Tree Warden for the year 1904.
The chief problem always before the Tree Warden is, how to protect our shade trees from the hosts of destructive insects by which this section of the State is particularly invaded. This problem becomes more serious each year, in spite of all that the Town is able to do. The plague of the Gypsy Moth and the Brown-Tail Moth is one to be seriously considered, in fact it is a peril. If these insects are allowed to run their course un- checked on public and private property, the effect will surely be apparent in a heavy shrinkage in real estate values.
The time for action in this matter has arrived, public senti- ment is aroused and the subject will be carried to the Legisla- ture this winter.
The greatest part of the work done during the past year has been in removing the Gypsy and Brown-Tail Moths. An ap- propriation of five hundred hundred dollars was insufficient to do this work so the Board of Selectmen, acting with the Board of Public Works, realizing the importance of the work, au- thorized the expenditure of one hundred dollars additional.
The Brown-Tail and Gypsy Moths are increasing on private grounds and some action should be taken by the Towu to com- pel property owners to exterminate them or they will have cause to regret the neglect of such action.
The Gypsy Moths have increased in an alarming manner in
178
TREE WARDEN.
the Town during the past year. That the spread of this insect with the attendant damage has been steady since the Common- wealth ceased its work of suppresion in 1900, and this in spite of the constant vigilance of the Tree Warden and the yearly expenditure of considerable sums of money by the Town and by many of the citizens acting individually.
It is useless for a portion of a community or for one or two municipalities to fight the pests unless their neighbors are obliged to bear their share of the responsibility.
Through the exertions of this department, the Arlington Heights Tree Protective Association, the Woman's Club, the East End Improvement Society and the Park Commissioners, an appropriation of six thousand ($6,000) dollars was voted for this work at the November Town Meeting and this Committee is now prosecuting the work to the best possible advantage to the Town. Numerous meetings have been held and various means advanced as to the method of extermination or sup- pression of the pests.
An urgent request is extended to all property holders and tenants to give their aid in this undertaking, believing that it is only by united action and an effort on the part of all citizens that the very best results can be obtained.
TREE PLANTING. This part of the Tree Warden's duty has to a great extent been neglected on account of the insect pests and owing to the fact that no appropriation has been made for this purpose.
A small appropriation each year should be set aside and where a tree has passed its usefulness, as a shade or ornamental tree, it should be taken up and a new tree replaced.
I would recommend that the sum of two hundred ($200) dollars be set aside for this purpose.
TRIMMING OF TREES. I again call your attention to this part of the work concerning the welfare of the trees. A small
179
TREE WARDEN.
appropriation should be made at once covering the care of some of the older and larger trees of the Town.
TREES THAT SHOULD BE REMOVED. There are many trees on our highways that have attained their full growth and are now crowding the younger trees and preventing a full growth. These trees should be removed in order that the beauty and uniformity of our trees may be preserved.
I would suggest that the Board of Public Works work in conjunction with this department in respect to gaining this result. I would also recommend that an appropriation for this purpose be made at the March Meeting.
CONCLUSION. In concluding this report, I wish to extend thanks to the several departments of the Town for their many courtesies extended to me.
For receipts and disbursements see Auditor's report.
Respectfully submitted, A. FOSTER BROOKS, Tree Warden.
