Report of Tree Warden.
REPORT OF LOCAL SUPERINTENDENT FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF B. T. & G. MOTH.
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :
Gentlemen :- As Local Superintendent for the suppres- sion of Browntail and Gypsy moth. I have the pleasure to present the following report :
Last spring. under the direction of State Agent Mr. Frank A. Bates, I have caused those sections of the town to be scouted which were left unfinished last fall, and found the Gypsy moth egg clusters in alarmingly large numbers. Every measure to prevent their spreading over a larger area was taken and the insect looked after during the summer, with pleasing result. so that during our fall scout of the town in these particular places we found no further traces of the insect.
The infested places we found then were as follows:
Unionville ; corner King and Summer streets ; Queen ; Central, near Chestnut Street.
ACCOUNT OF EXPENDITURE.
Labor account submitted. $78 89 1
Material and tools. 2 52
$81 41
Reimbursement received from the Town
Treasurer, etc .. $81 41
During our fall scout of the town, in which we have made a thorough search over a territory 100 feet, extending along all roads and ways throughout the town, I regret to be obliged to report that we have found both species of this insect in alarmingly large numbers.
Aside from a scout along the highways and roads, every orchard and fruit tree within the limits of the town has been gone over, under the direction of Mr. C. A. Parkhurst, pres-
25
ent State Agent of this Division. The districts in which we have found the Gypsy moth in large numbers are as follows :
Pond Street, Unionville; Plane Street; Lincoln Street ; Beaver Street; Maple Street; Forest Street ; Partridge Street ; Prospect Street.
A copy of the particular places where colonies have been found has been furnished to State Agent Parkhurst for further investigation and reference.
While the spring scout was most thorough in the outly- ing districts we found but few of the Browntail winterwebs at that time.
Our search this fall revealed a condition which is not in the least encouraging. Throughout the residential districts, and in particular where these sections are provided with the arc lamps, the Browntail moths abound in large numbers, which leads me to the opinion that somewhere not distantly located there must be a badly infested parcel of woodland from which the moths are being attracted; more so because we found but few last year's nests.
As in the case of the Gypsy moth we found most of the. Browntail upon fruit trees, pear trees seeming their choicest diet.
All of the trees upon which egg-clusters of the Gypsy moth have been found have been marked with the authorized mark of the state; the figure 9 between two inverted capital letters L.
All districts infested with this species of the insect will need to be attended to this coming spring early, and be bur- lapped if we mean to keep the insect under control, and be looked after next summer.
I have also prepared for future guidance, of those in charge of the work, a list showing in detail where every in- festation may be found, of which herewith find a detailed copy.
In view of the conditions as I found them, and the fact that much work will have to be done this coming year, I ad- vise the recommendation of an appropriation of Four Hun-
26
dred Dollars as ample funds to cope with the insect in its present state of occupation.

TO THE CITIZENS OF THE TOWN OF FRANKLIN :
Gentlemen :- Electing me again for another term to serve you in the capacity of Tree Warden, came to me as an expression of your appreciation of the work I had done the previous year, and as your approval of my conduct in office. Accept my thanks.
At the close of another year I have the pleasure to sub- mit to you my annual report for this term, together with comments, suggestions and recommendations, in the main much the same as last year, hoping that this repetition may bring forth a greater activity and better results.
Condition of Treos .- During the past season the exist- ing conditions, which I reported to you in my annual report last year, have grown somewhat worse, through extraordi- nary weather conditions; the sleet-storm of last spring do- ing considerable damage in every direction.
In connection with this sleet-storm and the damage done by it, a fact well worth noting was that wherever trees had been previously pruned and repaired, none of these suffered to any extent.
Pruning to be Done .- I wish to point out again to you that your trees in many instances are in an exceedingly poor condition, and should receive timely attention, if we hope to save them all.
While many are decaying, and have past beyond a stage where remedying is impossible, many are slowly, by neglect of attention, nearing that state.
28
Nearly along every street where shade trees are planted the lower branches have become a menace to traffic, in some cases so bad as to interfere with carriages, while larger vehicles are obliged to go out of their regular course. Nu- merous complaints of these conditions have been received, and in some cases referred to the Board of Selectmen.
Pruning Donc .- During this summer, throughout the town, the wires of the electric light and power company wherever located have been cleared and looked over, under my directions, and at the expense of the Company. Also the wires of the New England Tel. & Tel. Co. running from Church Square, through Oak, Pond, and Beach Streets to the Bellingham line have been freed.
While thus employed by these corporations, wherever the opportunity presented itself. I have caused the removal of as much of the existing dead wood as possible.
The Elm Leaf Beetle .- This insect has been unusually strong in its operation this past season throughout this sec- tion, and would, but for the timely attention given to the extermination of it, have wrought considerable havoc upon the elm trees as well as being an unlimited source of an- noyance.
To cope with this insect properly the spraying of the trees should be done much earlier than this has been done, and be done at least twice during a season. I would further advise that the burlapping of these trees is entirely useless, unless daily attention be given to the removal of these in- sects, which in the larvæ state collect under these bands.
In connection with this question of exterminating this insect and the action taken at your spring Town-meeting, authorizing the appropriation of money, to be expended under the direction of the Board of Selectmen, it seems to me, according to my interpretation of the statute bearing upon this case, that this action was not as regular as it might have been, and creating a condition to which many interpretations may be given.
I call your attention to Chapter 25, Section 16, of the
29
Statutes which reads "Towns may appropriate money to be expended under the direction of the Tree Warden for exterminating insect pest in public ways and places, and for removing therefrom such trees and plants upon which such insects naturally breed, except trees and plants from which the owner or lessee of land abutting on said public way or place annually exterminate all such insect pests to the satisfaction of the Tree Warden."
Furthermore, it seems to me needless and useless, after electing a capable officer to look after the interest of your trees, to delegate functions of the office to an- other elective body. Such an action to me seems reason- able only in a case where the occupant of the office has proved himself incapable, or the office has become va- cant.
Trees Removed .- During this term 12 applications for the removal of trees have been presented, and a pub- lic hearing given on the same. There being made no remonstrance in any particular case at the time of said hearings, and good and sufficient reason being given for their removal, 11 trees have been ordered cut down and one to be pruned.
The removal of these have been made by the Supt. of Streets and J. W. Stobbart under the direction of the Board of Selectmen.
Interest Appreciated .- In my annual report last year under the heading of recommendations, I advised the creation of a public improvement society, such as we find in many towns throughout New England, which may act in co-operation with the tree warden as an ad- visory board for the purpose of securing a far-seeing pol- icy of betterment of condition of the trees.
It is gratifying, indeed, to be able to report that the Town Improvement Committee of our Business Men's Association is considering a movement along these lines.
Recommendations .- In view of existing conditions, and the urgent need of work to be done this coming
30
year, I recommend the appropriation of at least five hundred dollars to be expended upon your public shade trees, under the direction of your tree warden, or if the co-operation of this Town Improvement Committee can be secured by your tree warden, with the assistance of said committee, acting as an advisory board, in making such improvement of conditions as they may deem ad- visable.
Additional information to this report may be found in my report as local superintendent for the suppression of Browntail and Gypsy Moth made to the honorable Board of Selectmen.
While there is no great danger yet of this plague doing much damage upon our shade trees, nevertheless they are with us, and should be looked after.
Respectfully submitted,
M. J. VAN LEEUWEN,
Tree Warden.
Report of Sealer of Weights and Measures.
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :
The Sealer of Weights and Measures presents the fol- lowing report for his term of service from September 3d. 1909, to January 31st, 1910:
Number of platform scales over 5,000 lbs., 5
Number of platform scales under 5,000 lbs., 55
Computing scales,
13
All other scales,
47
Scales condemned,
1
Weights sealed,
292
Dry measures sealed,
72
Dry measures condemned,
Liquid measures sealed, 35
Milk jars sealed, 288
31
22
Linear measures sealed,
Sealing fees collected, $5£.34.
Number of loads of coal re-weighed, one, and the re- sult showed that the weight over-ran ?0 pounds.
The condition of things when I began work was very bad indeed. Fully 80 per cent of the scales examined were incorrect, and a very few were locked at wrong positions. This showed that many dealers were unknowingly giving improper weights, and a few were intentionally doing this. I found a shortage of from one to five ounces on many scales, and in two cases, about one hundred pounds. I also found a few wooden measures which I had to condemn.
After two months of thorough and energetic work. I succeeded in getting all of these scales and measures into correct condition.
A majority of the owners were ready and willing to comply with the law, and the only four who objected were brought into line without the need of court proceedings.
Two preceding Sealers had sealed about forty scales and some measures, during this present official year, and I could only inspect, but not seal such, for if correct, only one sealing within a twelve-month is allowed. I think that there are about 125 scales in this town subject to sealing. A very few peddlers withdrew scales from use, claiming that their season was ended, but all of these would be subject to seal- ing another year. Considering the condition of these mat- ters last September and that of the present time, I feel that I have accomplished excellent results, and have placed this business in a position which it never before occupied. The Sealer's outfit, and that of the Treasurer, which is in my possession, are in excellent condition.
In closing, I wish to thank the members of the Board for the courteous treatment and hearty support which they have given me. during my term of service.
Respectfully submitted, ANDREW B. BULLOCK.
Sealer of Weights and Measures.

Report of Fire Alarm System.
FRANKLIN, MASS., January 28, 1910.
TO THE ENGINEERS OF THE FRANKLIN FIRE DEPARTMENT :
As Superintendent of the Fire Alarm System, I wish to report that the system is still in working order. There have been twenty alarms the past year, without a failure. There has been only the necessary repairs made, and the general condition is worse than a year ago. There are now twelve fire alarm stations, with boxes all located on poles. One has been added in the past year. Alarms are now given on the Congregational Church bell, the whistle on the Singleton Mill, the whistle on the Staples Straw Works, and an inside gong in Tupper's Stable. At least one-half the line wire is too old for fire alarm service. Insulated wire should be used, especially where it is near the high tension electric light wires. A central transmitter and two more boxes should be added to the system. Storage batteries would make a good improvement and lessen the cost and care.
