The personnel of the Department assisted the Park Depart- ment clearing skating areas when requested and also assisted the Public Works Department plowing streets and snow removal.
MOTH DEPARTMENT
The regular spraying schedule of this Department was carried on as usual, including a dormant spray given to the Elm trees to combat the Scolytus Beetle which is the carrier of the Dutch Elm Disease. During the year samples were taken from 12 trees on private property and when the laboratory tests were made known, the property owners were notified. Sixty nine dead trees on Public Ways and other Town property were removed. There being no known cure for this disease outside of removing the trees and burn- ing them up or burying them.
The Japanese Beetle continues to be a major pest as far as insects go. This Bettle originates in the turf and control measures would be much greater if property owners would treat their lawns with D.D.T. or Chlordane.
There was a very heavy infestation of Tent Caterpillars in the early spring in the Morningside section and also in the Forest Street section near the Winchester line.
The European Earwig was not quite so prevalent this year but there were a few cases.
All of our main streets and many of our side streets had to be sprayed in the early morning hours due to heavy traffic conditions during the middle of the day.
Menotomy Rocks Park was sprayed by Helicopter this year and very favorable results obtained from it.
There were 11 complaints received in regards to Poison Ivy. All locations were treated to the satisfaction of the complainants.
Both the Turnpike and Summer Street Dumps were sprayed with D.D.T. and a disinfectant for the control of insects.
There were 931 private estates sprayed at the request of pro- perty owners, who in turn made a remittance to the Town for the cost of the work. Both Housing projects were sprayed for Japanese Beetles.

TREE WARDEN, MOTH AND TOWN HOUSE GROUNDS
TOWN HOUSE GROUNDS DEPARTMENT
As has been the custom in past years, the personnel of the Tree and Moth Departments maintain the grounds bordering the Town Hall and Robbins House. These men also take care of the lawn and hedges at the Police Station and the grass area adjoining the parking lot on Mystic Street.
The pool located on the Town House Grounds was sandblasted and given two coats of waterproof wall coating and two coats of Iroquois Blue Silasheene Paint.
The Patriot's Day celebration again attracted large crowds of adults and children which necessitated the men of the Department to rope off the entrance to the Town Hall and police the grounds.
A watchman was employed during the summer months to patrol the grounds every evening as well as all day Saturdays, Sun- days and Holidays. He also checked the Robbins Library doors and windows on week ends.
The regular maintenance of the grounds was attended to as usual. The lawns were all top dressed and seeded, but due to the extreme dry spell they were not fertilized.
The flagpole on the grounds was stripped of all old paint and given two coats of paint and a new Halyard rope installed.
Snow removal from the front platform of the Town Hall, the walks through the grounds, also the parking area in the rear of the building and at the rear of the Robbins House was taken care of as usual.
In conclusion, I wish to gratefully acknowledge the co-opera- tion given me by you and your staff, the personnel of this Depart- ment and all other Departments of the Town.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE M. DOLAN
Tree Warden and Suprintendent of Moth and Town House Grounds Departments
