A large amount of trimming has been done but we shall be obliged to do more this year as our trees when in full foliage obstruct the proper lighting of our streets, and in our old trees there is a continual dying of the branches and it is absolutely necessary for the safety of the public, that they be removed as soon as possible.
Spraying with oil all catch basins and stagnant pools has been done by this department under the direction of the Board of Health for the control of the mosquito, and from investigations good results have

REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN
been accomplished considering the small amount expended.
Much damage has been done to our young trees by autos and also by school children cutting the bark with knives. It would be of great benefit if all the teachers in our schools were instructed to warn the children of this damaging practice and also if all citizens would interest themselves, and whenever they see a tree being damaged in any way would try and obtain the name of boy or person or if an auto the registration number and report the same to me I shall see that justice is done. While our trees at the present compare favor- ably with other cities, it will be necessary that we con- tinue with the general care, namely planting, trimming and removal. .

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF ASSESSORS
The Board of Assessors herewith submits its annual report for the year ending December 31, 1929. At the Town Meeting held on March 4, 1929 Martin J. Gallagher was elected a member of the Board for the term of three years and Clarence A. Moore for a term of one year to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Egbert E. Stackpole.
By the sudden and much regretted death of Martin J. Gallagher which occurred on April 30, 1929 the Town has experienced the loss of one of its most efficient and loyal citizens. Hav- ing served on the Board nine years, being first elected in 1920, he was in his tenth consecutive year of service when he passed away.
On July 22, 1929 Earl A. Ryder was appointed Assessor to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Martin J. Gallagher.
During 1929 a more efficient method of handling abatement applications was established. The introduc- tion of a form for this purpose will give the Depart- ment a permanent record of all the facts relative to this branch of the work.
The enactment by the Legislature of the law regarding the assessing of motor vehicles has increased the work of the Department appreciably. 9705 motor

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF ASSESSORS
vehicles were assessed in 1929 at a valuation of $4,221,875.00 as compared with the approximate val- uation of motor vehicles in 1928 of $2,085,000.00. The income from automobiles in 1929 was approximately $102,000 as compared with approximately $60,000 in 1928.
Following the recommendation of the Finance Committee the Board of Public Works has co-operated with this Department by furnishing Block plans of the Town and we hope to have a complete set by the first of April 1930. These plans will be invaluable in carrying on the work of the Board more efficiently.
Following are the reports of the Statistics of the Town of Arlington, April 1, 1929 and the Condensed Statement of the 1929 Tax Levy :
