PART II
STATISTICS
The usual statistical tables are included in this report. These will show not only current data for the year, but also in tables III, IV and V the trend of increase or de- crease in attendance and expenditures for the past five years.
These statistics show clearly that decrease of service, equipment and opportunities has gone along side by side with substantial increase of pupils, school plants and general requirements.
It is gratifying to note the high percentage of attend- ance maintained, 94.5, for the whole membership, shown in tables I and II. The upper elementary grades, junior and senior high schools have quite uniformly excellent records, and even the primary pupils who are more se- riously affected by stormy weather, children's diseases and other causes of absence, have made most commend- able records.
A careful study of the statistics is earnestly solicited.

REPORT OF TREE WARDEN
The removal of dead and dangerous limbs was attended - to and at intersections of cross streets all low limbs were removed, thereby giving better visibility to both auto operator and pedestrians.
There was a very severe infestation of both the Elm Bark and Elm Leaf Beetles this year and a very great number of Elms, both private and public, were badly defoliated. Both these insects are known carriers of the Dutch Elm disease and a careful and systematic spraying is required this year. There is no question but there will be considerable dead branches and a possibility of losing many of our Elms this year on account of this infestation and also on account of their advanced age.
The following is a statement of expenses:

ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF TOWN HALL GROUNDS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen.
Gentlemen :
I herewith submit my report as Superintendent of the Town Hall Grounds for the year ending December 31, 1935.
The regular routine work of cutting grass, caring of shrubs and bushes, edging and trimming of walks, clearing the hall platform and walks of snow, was attended to as usual.
In the spring when the water in the pool was turned on it was found that the exceptionally cold winter had cracked the cement, therefore causing it to leak. This had to be repaired by E.R.A. workers.
Most of the depressions in the brick walks were elimi- nated under an E.R.A. project, whereby all sunken or raised bricks were taken up and relaid.
Flowers were planted in the base of the fountains on the front of the hall prior to Memorial Day and remained there during the entire summer with many favorable com- ments received about them.
The statue on top of the flagpole which was very un- steady was taken down and repaired and put back so that it would be secure.
The statue of Menotomy Indian in the rear of the pool

TOWN HOUSE GROUNDS
which had been molested and damaged by children was repaired and a barberry hedge planted around it to see if it would keep the children away.
There was also a 100 foot barberry hedge planted in the rear of the grounds on the line of the school property to see if it would help to keep pedestrian traffic from cutting through.
Under a W.P.A. project a new lawn sprinkler system is being installed which will save the Town a considerable amount of money. Instead of using Town water this sys- tem will be connected with the reservoir. At the present writing this project is still under construction.
In conclusion I wish 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.
