TREE WARDEN'S REPORT
The Tree Warden submits the following report for the year ending December 31, 1934.
My work has consisted of removing dead trees and trimming broken and dead limbs from them.

Respectfully submitted,
HARRY L. NESMITH, Tree Warden.
REPORT OF THE FOREST WARDEN
During the year 1934 we had 60 Forest fires. As they were mostly all small fires, the loss of woodland was slight.
I have issued two hundred forty fire permits.
I would suggest the sum of $1000.00 be appropriated this year to care for this work.
Respectfully submitted,
HARRY L. NESMITH,
Forest Warden.
