REPORT OF THE GYPSY AND . BROWN TAIL MOTH DEPARTMENT


January 1, 1927.


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


Dear Sirs :- I herewith submit my report as Supt. of Moth Dept. for year ending Dec. 31, 1926.


The work of this department this year has not dif- fered any in character from that of previous years.


Spraying, treating nests, and cutting and burning brush have been applied as conditions required.


The gypsy moth egg clusters have been slightly less in evidence this year, yet there is a scattered infestation throughout the Town. The worst infestation is on the willows around Spy Pond. This infestation has been creosoted and I look for good results the coming year. The willows in the rear of Mt. Pleasant Cemetery were covered with the Fall Web Worm. These were all cut off and burned. This insect is increasing rapidly and more work will have to be done this year if we wish to check its advance.


The past year we sprayed 171 private places for which the Town will be reimbursed about $1000. In regard to creosoting egg clusters it is very evident that many pri- vate estates would not do the work and it is my convic- tion that the most efficient method is the manner which the Town has adopted, namely :- If the owner fails to do it in a reasonable time, the Town will. This report should not have the effect of creating a feeling of


237


. 238


ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT


security that would lead us to contemplate a cessation of our efforts. I visited the Cape Cod section this year, and there was scarcely a tree that was not badly infested. With the heavy automobile traffic through that section the spread of this moth is inevitable.


I hope that the work which has accomplished so much thus far will not now be suffered to lag through lack of either funds or public support.


The following is a summary of the nature and location of work, also expenditures.
