Gypsy and Browntail Moths.
Since our last annual meeting the Gypsy and Browntail moths have been found to exist in our town, and under the direction of the State Superintendent we have had them removed from the trees that border our highways. With the co-operation of every property owner, we feel that it is a comparatively easy matter to rid the town of these pests which are doing so much damage in other sections of the state.
