To The Honorable Board of Selectmen.
Gentlemen :
I herewith submit my report as superintendent of the Gypsy Moth Department for the year ending December 31, 1934.
A continuation of the work at the Symmes Hospital and Arlington Heights reservoir of cutting out underbrush and removing dead trees was completed in February which was a C.W.A. project.
I also had a crew of six men inspecting trees in wood- land and outlying districts for Gypsy and Brown Tail Moth Nests, but due to lack of funds from the government the work had to be discontinued after about forty per cent of the town had been covered.
The condition of this town in regard to the Gypsy Moth is practically the same as it was last year. If anything, the infestation has been slightly increased, but in no way com- pares with conditions in some of the Cape Cod and North Shore districts. The whole town was covered and all egg clusters that were found were treated with creosote. In the spring all our shade trees were sprayed and whenever property owners requested it their estates were sprayed thereby making a remittance to the town.
There has been many people who have mistaken the Tent Caterpillar and Fall Webworm for the Brown Tail Moth and I have received many complaints regarding same, but actually there was only two sections of the town where we found any, namely, Broadway near Alewife Brook, and on Summer Street.

ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
There has been much said recently in regard to the Dutch Elm Disease which has been spreading over some of our neighboring states, but as far as can be learned it has not reached Massachusetts, and every precaution is being taken in our town to detect it and prevent it spread- ing.
There was a slight defoliation on some of the Elms in the Mystic Street section and also on Park Avenue due to the Elm Leaf Beetle, but as a rule we have very slight trouble with this insect.
In conclusion I wish to take this opportunity to thank the Board of Selectmen and their Secretary for their courtesy and co-operation during the past year.
Respectfully yours,
GEORGE M. DOLAN, Superintendent.

The police radio service has continued to give excellent results. Although I was unable to increase our service to the surrounding towns at the regular charge of $300 each, beginning with the first of the year both Stoneham and Reading are going to try out the service and if it proves satisfactory I expect to have them in on the general hook- up at the above yearly rate.
It is my opinion that the control of police radio will be taken over by the State and that a systematic method of operation will be worked out on a cooperative basis.
TRAFFIC
The automobile traffic problem has been increasing each year as we find our population increasing and greater num- ber of automobiles traveling through Massachusetts Ave- nue.
Owing to the opening of the new Concord Turnpike, I am of the opinion that it will decrease the traffic on Mass- achusetts Avenue by about ten thousand cars.
This year we had 131 persons injured from automobile accidents on Massachusetts Avenue, two of which proved fatal in spite of a rigid enforcement of the automobile laws with numerous speed traps along the Avenue.
I am convinced that the only possible way to prevent accidents is to slow up the traffic and the only effective way to do this is to install some additional traffic signal sections along the Avenue.
308
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
I, therefore, recommend an appropriation of $2400 for three traffic signal sections to be located as follows : Teel Street and Massachusetts Avenue ; Foster Street and Mas- sachusetts Avenue, and Mill Street and Massachusetts Avenue. I also recommend an appropriation of $400 to purchase two new traffic controllers to replace obsolete controls at Summer and Mystic Streets, and Massachu- setts Avenue and Park Avenue. These two controls do not provide a pedestrian period which is necessary at these two dangerous crossings, especially because of numerous school children crossing at these dangerous intersections.
Due to the continued efforts of every member of the Police Department, Arlington still retains its high stand- ing as a law abiding Town and a desirable place in which to live.
I wish to thank your Honorable Board for your coopera- tion and support during the year, and all other depart- ments of the Town Government, as well as those citizens who have in any way assisted the Department in their work. With your continued support the Department shall continue to function efficiently and endeavor to retain the high standard Arlington now possesses.
Respectfully submitted,
ARCHIE F. BULLOCK. Chief of Police.

One thousand seven hundred eleven (1711) weights and measures were inspected, sealed, or condemned in my office or at the several places of business, and statutory fees amounting to the sum of $151.59 were received and paid to the Town Treasurer.
During the year at various times I made inspections of package goods, and reweighings of orders ready for de- livery in the different places of business. I have rechecked several of the sealed devices to insure their accuracy.
Through my inspection of Hawkers and Peddlers and Transient Vendors, the Town Treasurer has received the sum of $375.00 for Hawker and Peddler licenses
As a result of my activities, I found it necessary to prosecute 4 cases in Court, three short weight cases were settled out of Court, satisfactorily to all concerned.
Reweighing of Coal in transit has also been very care- fully followed up and in addition some deliveries of coal made to the School Department was checked and found to be correct.

ALLAN E. COWIE,
Sealer of Weights and Measures.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
For the protection of our Tar and Gravel Streets and some of our older Macadam Streets, a tar and sand treat- ment was applied. For this treatment, the sum of $4,- 312.28 was expended.
RECONSTRUCTION OF STREETS
During the year Park Avenue was reconstructed from Lowell Street to Paul Revere Road and from Oakland Ave- nue to the Belmont Line, and Lake Street from the junc- tion of the new Concord Highway approximately three hundred fifty feet easterly. Both of these streets were reconstructed with a penetrated macadam pavement, the work being done under the provisions of Chapter 90 of the General Laws.
In the reconstruction of the section of Park Avenue between Lowell Street and Paul Revere Road, the old stone culvert at Mill Brook was reconstructed with rein- forced concrete, and also constructed so as to accommo- date a much larger flow of water. On Park Avenue the State contributed two-fifths and the County one-fifth of the cost based on the unit prices contained in the contract. The pavement construction was done by the University Contracting Company, and the storm drain and curb in- stallation by the Public Works Department.
On Lake Street the State contributed fifty per cent and the County twenty per cent of the total cost. The Recon- struction of Lake Street was done by the employees of the Public Works Department under the direction of the Sup- erintendent of Public Works, Edward O'Brien.
Payments and expenditures on the two above streets, to date, amount to $34,699.97. For explanation see Table 1.
NEW STREET CONSTRUCTION
During the year the following streets were accepted by the Town and constructed under the direction of the Board of Public Works :
