The suit of the City of Melrose vs. Town of Reading has not yet been settled. It was, early in the year, placed in the hands of Town counsel for settlement. It was expected soon to be tried, but it has never been reached on the trial list. We have made no offer of settlement, neither has Melrose. We await any instructions . you may be disposed to give us.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS AND PROVISIONS


READING, JAN. 1, 1905.


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :


I herewith submit my report as Inspector of Animals and Provisions of this town for 1904.


During the year considerable slaughtering has been carried on, which has been carefully inspected and accepted, or rejected as unfit for food.


The cattle of the town have been carefully and impartially examined for tuberculosis or other diseases of a contagious or infectious nature with the result that but few diseased animals were found and these were promptly dealt with according to law.


I am pleased to state it is my belief that the reason so few cattle are found affected in our town is: that cattle owners are becoming more familiar with the rules of animal husbandry ; are more careful what they buy-many buying nothing which will not pass the tuberculin test; strict conformance with the rules laid down for disinfection of stables after cattle are removed before replacing with new; better attention to ventilation, light and cleanliness ; not keeping too crowded quarters ; and feeding a better quality of hay and grain.


Within the last few years several of our largest dairies have built silos in order to feed ensilage to their cattle during the winter months, thus enabling them to more closely follow the laws of nature.


This is certainly a wise move and an economical one, for in my


106


opinion no farm or dairy of any size can afford to be without a silo from the standpoint of both health or economy. In some places dissatisfaction is expressed but in nearly every case it can easily be traced to poor management, lack of judgment in cutting the corn when it is not in proper condition, feeding too much at a time, and not enough coarse food with it, such as hay or straw.


I should like to write much more on the subject of animal husbandry, and care and handling of live stock if space permitted.


Thanking the cattle owners for their hearty co-operation, and the cordial way in which they have treated me, I remain,


Yours very truly,


C. H. PLAYDON, M. D. V.

TRUSTEES LAUREL HILL CEMETERY


READING, JAN. 24, 1905.


To the Selectmen of the Town of Reading :


The past year has witnessed an appreciable advance along the line of general improvement of the Cemetery. We have been working toward a definite end, and that is to make Laurel Hill Cemetery as attractive as possible.


The gates at the Main Street entrance (opposite Galen A. Parker's) have been widened and the posts set back. This removes the cause drivers have had for complaint, and constitutes a perma- nent improvement.


The balance of the curved edgestones, completing the work contemplated in this line, have been set on the main avenue leading from the Lowell Street entrance. The Trustees are gratified at the extension of the edgestones by the Town around the High School, and along the Lowell Street sidewalk. The improvement at the points mentioned is marked.


We have on hand a sufficient amount of paving stones for the gutters on the same avenue. Heavy rain storms have heretofore done considerable washing out, and the bills for repairing will soon cease.


The trees, which are invaluable to the Cemetery, have been thoroughly rid of brown-tail moth nests and if they suffer from this source it will be from moths coming from without.


The general work has been well kept up. The Superintendent and Foreman have followed to the letter the policy laid out by the Trustees.


109


We ask this year for $900, together with the unexpended balance, and the proceeds from the sale of lots. We feel this sum may be used most advantageously.

REPORT OF TREE WARDEN


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :


GENTLEMEN : I herewith hand you my report for the year ending Dec. 31st, 1904.


Hearings have been called to consider the advisability of removing certain shade trees, and permissions have been granted for the removal of the following trees, part of which have been removed by the abutters; the rest, I understand, will be removed by their owners as soon as they are in a position to attend to the matter :


One Horse Chestnut, opposite Old South Church.


One Ash, opposite Mrs. Jos. Pratt's, Haven St.


One Maple, opposite Mrs. Jos. Pratt's, Haven St. Four Maples, opposite Dr. C. R. Henderson's, Washington St. One Maple, opposite Dr. C. R. Henderson's, Woburn St. Three Maples, opposite Dr. M. E. Brande's, Washington St. Two Maples, opposite Dr. M. E. Brande's, Woburn St. Three Maples, opposite Mr. L. O. Ferson's, Summer Ave. Two Elms, opposite Mr. L. O. Ferson's, Summer Ave.


The two trees opposite the Pratt estate will probably have to be removed by the Town.


Mr. Charles S. Pratt gave to the Town this fall about twenty Rock Maples, part of which have been planted in the following places : Prescott St., opposite shoe factory, Woburn St., opposite field of the late Wm. Carter, one on Bancroft Ave., opposite house of E. M. Coolidge, and one opposite W. H. Byers', Summer Ave.


A great many limbs on different trees through the Town have been broken, owing to high winds during the year, probably more


112


damage of this sort this year than previous years since I have held this office. One of the greatest menaces to our street trees is the electric wires of all kinds that have been strung among them, the insulation being constantly worn off by rubbing against the branch- es. This source of trouble will continue so long as wires are run among the limbs of our shade trees.


Another serious trouble that is to be met and which is going to continue is the Brown Tail Moth. Last spring's appropriation was used in removing these webs from our street trees, something over 12,000 being removed and destroyed; the residential parts of the town were generally taken care of by the men in my depart- ment, to say nothing of what was done by private property owners and the school children. The appropriation of $500, voted at a special Town meeting held last fall, has, up to the present writing, been practically all used in ridding the following streets from this pest : Woburn St., from the Common to West St., 13,556 webs removed and destroyed ; Main St., to B. & M. R. R. crossing, in- cluding Common, 14,065 ; Arlington St., 2,062; Washington St., from Woburn to Main St., 1,030 ; Haven St., 280 ; Linden St., 271 ; Ash St., from Washington to Haven St., 193; and Sanborn St., from Woburn to Haven St., 484. Making a total number of webs removed and destroyed, 32,441. There is, I understand, about $100 still to be used for this work, and probably when this work is completed, or the remaining cash used up, there will be in the vicinity of forty-five or fifty thousand webs destroyed, costing the Town approximately one cent per web.


Being unable to devote all of my time to this work, and it was obvious that some one should devote most, if not all of his time to it, in order to get the best results, I appointed with your permission, Street Commissioner L. W. Allen, as Deputy Tree Warden, which work he has done well and conscientiously. My instructions to Mr. Allen were as follows, and which is a part of this report:


Dec. 14, 1904.


Mr. Lemuel W. Allen, Reading, Mass.


Dear Sir : I have received permission from the Selectmen to


113


appoint you Deputy Tree Warden to take charge of the removal of the Brown Tail Moth nests from the public street trees of the Town.


I hereby appoint you Deputy Tree Warden to act in my behalf and under my direction, authorizing you to approve such bills that may be contracted by you for the work of which you are in charge. In regard to the approving of the bills for your own time I will approve them, thus preventing any possible criticism.


I would like to have you begin work at once, putting men to work on Woburn Street, Summer Avenue, Main Street, the Com- mon, and the section about the depot; these being the principal streets, and upon which the greatest amount of travel is done, it is obvious that they should be taken care of first. This would also apply to Salem Street, North Main Street and Lowell Street, upon which the electric cars go. It will be necessary for you to pur- chase the necessary pruners you may need, as the ones I have here are so badly broken they will be of little use to you. You are welcome to what ladders I have on the place here, which are my personal property, but which I have loaned to the Town without charge. There are also three or four hand lines here which belong to the Town and which are essential in your work. In regard to the hiring of help I have no suggestions to make, believing if you are to get the best results from your help, you are to have the privilege of hiring such men as you believe you can get the best results from and discharging those that are not attending to their work. There are two men, however, who will be of great use to you, particularly in high climbing, and by high climbing I mean the largest elms in the Town, it being understood that you are to use them only in such high work, and I recommend that you pay these men $2.50 per day of the usual accepted day of nine hours. These men I refer to are Wesley Gleason and Walter Locke.


These men are not to work together for this price, and their assistants should not be paid over $1.75 per day. You, of course, understand that the Town takes no responsibility in regard to accidents that may occur to any of its employes in connection with this work, and the men must understand this when they take such


114


work. In regard to lessening the danger of accidents to the men that do the high climbing, these men should be supplied with a life belt and such number of feet of rope as will be necessary. The life belt which I would ask you to have made can be purchased of a harness maker in Winchester who makes similar belts for the use of the Tree Warden of Winchester. These belts, I believe, cost about $2.50 each, and I would ask you to order four belts. These are loaned to your high climbers and with the help of a competent assistant, and such rope as is necessary for a hand line, is all the insurance, in my opinion, that is necessary for the risk that is undertaken.


You will please keep an account of the number of moths that are removed from the different streets, and a record of the cost of time taken for the removal of such moths from the different streets.


My brother Ben will give you such material that I have here that is usable. You can telephone me personally any evening after seven o'clock at my home, excepting Tuesday and Friday, and any time before eight o'clock in the morning, while between the hours of 9 a. m. and 5 p. m. you can get me by calling 153 Hay- market.


I have notified the Selectmen that I have appointed you as Tree Warden, and also sent notification of your appointment to The Chronicle. I will be ready to give you all the assistance that is possible and believe that you can do this work entirely satisfactory to all concerned. Will you please have the work started as soon as you can, and have it pushed as rapidly as possible. The nests, you of course understand, are to be burned every night and none left on the ground. You will probably get the best results from your men by having them work in pairs and have them scattered far enough apart so as to prevent any unnecessary cheap talk.


Yours very truly, (Signed ) A. CHANDLER MANNING.


The removing of these webs is a cumbersome and expensive problem, but I feel that the work should continue; therefore,


115


gentlemen, I would recommend that an appropriation of $1,000 be asked for at the next annual town meeting, to be used for the destroying of the webs of the Brown Tail Moth, the nests of the Gypsy Moth (of which about a dozen were destroyed last spring in Reading Square ), and for other work incidental to the work of this department.


I wish to thank your Honorable Board, the Finance Committee, and the citizens of the Town generally for the kind and considerate treatment I have received since holding this office.


My personal affairs from now on make it impossible for me to continue to hold this office, therefore I will not be a candidate for re-election at the coming annual town meeting.


Yours very truly, A. CHANDLER MANNING.

REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF THE POOR


To the Inhabitants of the Town of Reading :


We herewith submit the following report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1904.

The Poor Department has this year, as in other years, required considerable attention.


The number of inmates at the Town Home has been about the same as last year, but their stay has been more continuous, making the total number of weeks 460 this year, against 371 weeks last year. Although the total expense of maintenance of the Home, which includes the cost of installing heater, $124.56, has been larger this year than for the year 1903, the cost per week per in- mate has been materially decreased.


The calls for outside aid have been numerous but have not been as continuous as they have in many other years. The amount expended is less than last year, which decrease would be more apparent were it not for the fact that we have paid several last year's


.


121


bills, the amounts of which an examination of the financial state- ment will readily show.


We also wish to call your attention to the fact that the num- ber of tramps lodged here is steadily decreasing, which seems to show that they are being properly handled.


The care of the insane was assumed by the State on Jan. 1, 1904, and, as there has been no increase in the State Tax this year, it has resulted not only in relieving the Overseers to some extent, but in an actual financial saving to the Town.


The financial statements appear on the following pages.
