The expense of this has been taken up with Superin- tendent Mason, and the cost will be included in his re- port, and includes a new box at Palmer or Wyman Streets near Warren Street; a new box in the vicinity of Milton Street in the newly developed section ;. box 21 moved to Parallel Street and Medford (present location Lewis Avenue and Medford Streets), and junction boxes made of Boxes 21-23 and 43.


In these times of unusual crime and criticism every confidence and encouragement should be given your police in their arduous duties. The police have to rely


133


DEPARTMENT OF POLICE


on the citizens for much information and your police are ever ready to uphold your laws; they are ready every second of the twenty-four hours at the other end of your telephone to answer your call and act.


Your safety is their chief concern, they guard your children as their own, and risk their lives for you and yours, which to them is "All in a day's work." Your police are always ready for service whether on or off duty, and neither rain, sleet nor biting winds can swerve them from the path of duty. This is the spirit that emanates in your Police Department and should receive encouragement.


In conclusion, I take this means in publicly express- ing to your Honorable Board my sincere appreciation for the loyal support and wise counsel given me in ar- duous duties performed.


To the Honorable Justice of the Third District Court, Arthur P. Stone and his Assistants, is due my deep appreciation for the loyal co-operation given the members of this Department. .


And my thanks are also due to those who have in any way assisted us in making Arlington a better place to live in.


Respectfully submitted, THOMAS O. D. URQUHART, Chief of Police.

REPORT OF THE GYPSY AND BROWN TAIL MOTH DEPARTMENT


January 1, 1926.


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


Gentlemen: I herewith submit my report as Super- intendent of Moth Department for year ending Decem- ber 31, 1925.


GYPSY MOTH


The condition of the Town in regard to this insect is very good. There is a slight and scattered infestation throughout the Town. The largest colonies of nests are found on the willows in the rear of the Cemetery, around the shores of Spy Pond, rear of High School and at the Winchester line of the Mystic Street section. From examinations made this winter I find the nests are much larger and of a healthier appearance than I have seen for a number of years. This same condition exists throughout the State. Entomologists have advanced many theories on this condition, but in my opinion it is due to climatic conditions. It has been reported by the U. S. Department of Agriculture that there is a decrease in the number of parasitized eggs due to the same influ- ence, and this in turn is in favor of the Gypsy Moth. The condition which existed on the Cape this past year when acres of woodland and cranberry bogs were stripped, plainly demonstrated what injury this insect can do in a short time unless held in check.


SATIN MOTH


The favorite tree which this insect preys upon is the poplar, and wherever that species of tree is you are almost certain to have this moth. A very heavy infesta- tion of this moth was on the poplars on Lafayette and Fairmont Streets this past summer, and it was necessary to spray these trees twice. The best control method is by spraying with arsenate of lead at the rate of 10 lbs.


140


141


GYPSY AND BROWN. TAIL MOTH DEPARTMENT


to 100 gals. of water, adding a Spracene mixture as a sticker. I would advise two sprayings, one in May and one in July.


FALL WEB WORM


This insect which many mistake for the Brown Tail is very numerous especially on fruit, cherry and willow trees. There are two broods of this insect in a year. The first brocd appears about the last of April and is rarely abundant enough to attract attention. The ·


second brocd appears about the last of July or the first of August and the nests are so very large and so numer- ous that not only do they attract attention but are very unsightly. The best method of control is removing all wild cherry and worthless willows and spraying with arsenate of lead as soon as caterpillars appear. Unless control measures are adopted, this insect wil defoliate the infested tree.


BROWN TAIL MOTH AND ELM LEAF BEETLE


These insects are so scarce in this Town that but little attention is necessary.


This report should not have the effect of creating a feeling of security that would lead us to contemplate a cessation of our efforts to combat these pests. Experi- ments in the past have shown that nests of these insects hatch between 300 to 500 caterpillars. It cannot be ex- pected that all nests will be found, as the habit of the Gypsy Moth is to lay her eggs in the most concealed places, such as old tin cans, under boards, behind window blinds and in stone walls. I believe it would be false economy to relax our efforts now and endanger the future. The past year the appropriation to finance this department was $4500 out of which the Town will receive back close to $1800 for work done on private places, leav- ing the cost to the Town about $3700 to keep it in the c'ean condition it is at the present time. The following is a detailed statement of the expenses and nature of work for past year.
