REPORT OF TREE WARDEN
To the Voters of the Town of Reading :
The work in the Tree Warden department this year has consisted of spraying for elm leaf beetle and trimming.
One large maple on the Common was removed.
In several places low hanging limbs were found which bore marks of contact with teams.
In several places more trimming should be done so that the full benefit from the electric lights may be obtained.
A contribution to this department of $15 from the Read- ing Woman's Club is acknowledged.
I recommend an appropriation of $500 for use in this department during the coming year.
I take this opportunity to thank those who have appre- ciated my endeavors or co-operated with me the past year.
G. A. HUBBARD
Tree Warden.
REPORT OF FOREST WARDEN

I have the honor of submitting to you the annual report of the Forest Warden for the year ending Dec. 31. 1910 :
Number of requests for permits, 131. Number of permits issued, 129.
HERBERT E. MCINTIRE.
Forest Warden.
REPORT OF CEMETERY TRUSTEES
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens :
The Trustees beg leave to make the following report :
We have, to the best of our ability, carefully cared for the cemetery and trust whatever may have been done has met with your approval.
The land that was improved last season has been laid out into lots and properly bounded, and the large sale of such lots, as you will see by the financial part of this report, has amply paid for the expenditure. This, in time, will be the most beautiful part of the cemetery. It is quite neces- sary that some shade trees should be planted there, but we, as yet, have not been able to save the money from our regular appropriation for this purpose. Whenever we can, this will be done.
The blasts of many winters have so stained the Soldiers' Monument that many of the names thereon are scarcely legible. Several complaints have been made to us by mem- bers of the G. A. R., and we, as a Board, think it right and their due to have the matter remedied. Therefore, we ask for a special appropriation of $150 for having the letters recut.
The Board have also voted to ask the Town for a suffi- cient sum from the reserve fund, raised from the sale of lots, to remove the ledge from that part of the land pur- chased from the Old South Society, fronting on Main street, so that it can be properly graded and made attractive instead of an excrescence on nature, which it now certainly is; and an Article will be found in the Town Warrant to that effect.
140
For the general care we ask $1,100, the same as last year, although some bills had to lay over because the funds gave out. However, with strict economy we hope to cover the whole with the above amount.
Again we call the citizens' attention to the necessity of putting their lots in perpetual care, as so much better results can be obtained in that way. Many are so doing, and we are sure they will have no cause to regret it.
The Superintendent will be pleased to have any lot owner make known to him if there is any thing in regard to their lot which is not right, and he will endeavor to have it rectified.
Respectfully submitted by the Board of Trustees,
A. W. DANFORTH, Superintendent and Secretary.

There has been a decrease in the number of milk bottles sealed this year, owing to the fact that some of the manu- facturers use the Massachusetts seal.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANK W. PARKER, Sealer of Weights and Measures.
REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF WIRES
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
GENTLEMEN: I beg to submit herewith the following report as Inspector of Wires for the nine months ending December 31, 1910 :
As this office was a new one it was necessary to outline some plan to enable the Inspector to keep in touch with the interior wiring for light and power which is constantly going on and blank forms were procured which were furnished to the electrical contractors so that whenever any interior wiring was to be done a report of same could be sent to the Inspector.
The contractors have been very faithful in reporting such work and while the work in general has been very sat- isfactory it has been necessary in some cases to have changes made in order that it might meet the requirements of the New England Insurance Exchange and the Municipal Light Department.
In several cases where the electric wiring was in an un- safe condition the property owners immediately had the conditions remedied as soon as their attention was called to the matter.
The Inspector has received from the electrical con- tractors during the nine months ending Dec. 31, 1910, 119 notices of work being done, and 92 inspections have been made.
While the work of the Inspector during the past has been principally confined to an oversight of the interior wiring, he feels that much can be done to improve the con- ditions of the poles and wires on the streets, and steps have
144
already been taken by the Municipal Light Department toward lessening the number of poles set in the streets by erecting one pole suitable for the requirements of all the wires.
This plan is one that is being adopted in the majority of cities and towns, and while it not only tends to improve the looks of the street where previously there may have been two or more pole lines, it also makes it possible to secure proper support and separation for the wires of the different companies, thereby lessening the liability of crossed wires and the attendant danger.
The New England Telephone & Telegraph Co. and the Boston & Northern Street Railway Co. have each signified their willingness to co-operate with the Town in this matter whenever the conditions will warrant any change in the existing pole lines, and it would seem that a continuance of this policy should in time tend to decrease the cost to the Town of the maintenance of its pole lines, aside from the added improvement in the appearance of the streets.
Yours respectfully. ARTHUR G. SIAS,
Inspector of Wires.

The epidemic of small pox which broke out January 11th was very unfortunate for the Town, as we did not ex- pect it and so were entirely unprepared for it. On the whole, however, we feel that it could not have been man- aged very differently.
On January 20th a petition was received from about twenty-five citizens, asking us to discontinue using the house, corner of Green and High streets, as a pest house. With due respect for the feelings of the petitioners we could not see how they would be materially benefitted by such a move. To confiscate a house in the suburbs, put in the necessary furniture, hire nurses, furnish food, fuel and many
151
things which would have had to be burned in the end, would have cost the Town some three thousand dollars more than was paid out under existing conditions. Besides, the Town would have had on its hands an estate that would be worth- less for any other purpose.
The expense was heavy, but, acting as we did under the advice of the State Inspector and others in authority, we have no regrets, other than those of all the citizens for the misfortune of having had to endure the scourge.
For the sanitary statistics see the report of the Inspec- tor. The financial report will be found in the regular Town Report.
Most respectfully yours,
HERBERT B. HOWARD, M. D., Chairman, J. H. CARLETON,
FREDERIC D. MERRILL, Secretary,
Board of Health.
