ACCOUNTANT'S CERTIFICATE
I have examined the cash receipts and securities in the various Trust Funds in the hands of the Treasurer and find them to be as stated in the Treasurer's report. The income from Trust Funds in the hands of others has been received for the year 1960 and credited to the proper accounts. The receipts as reported by the Treasurer agree with the books, and that payments of the town correctly present the financial status as of December 31, 1960.
I would like to thank the Honorable Board of Selectmen, all Town Officers, all Town employees, the Town Report Committee and all others who have contributed of their time and talent in com- piling this report.

Tree and Moth Department
The past year was one of continued progress for the Tree Department. The new truck voted by the Town Meeting was delivered in August and has proven satisfactory in design and size. It has also been set up for storm work, giving the town an additional unit for plowing snow.
In cooperation with the Park and Cemetery Department valuable evergreens were moved from the Howe Property on Route 128 to Newhall Park and planted along the lake shore. These with shade trees planted will add greatly to the natural beauty of the Park. The continued pro- gram of planting and replacing of missing trees is gradually bringing the Town up to a desired standard. Shade trees were planted at the Police and Fire Station in the Center also the South Sta- tion. Pine seedlings were planted on the slopes of Huckleberry Hill School and more will be planted this season.
Dutch Elm continues to be the most serious problem we have to face. A revaluation of past
and present programs for control and suppression of this scourge is being carried on at both State and Federal levels nationally. The Fall Confer- ence held in Waltham in November offered noth- ing new that had been proven by time, but held some promise of progress. Poison Ivy work was carried on where ever needed in areas under Town Control. This is a never ending battle but we are gaining.
Mosquito Control again brings praise in some areas and the reverse in others, even neighbors reporting good and poor results. New laws pass- ed by the Legislature will affect our operations in 1961, but how much we cannot tell until we have work with them. We hope to give and re- ceive the same valuable cooperation from all Town Departments as in the past and thanks to my staff, Delbert Porter and Paul Roulier.
