The Board of Assessors wish to report that about two-thirds of the work on the equalization program is complete. The property owners realize the need of this program and have been very co-operative.
We have had 239 Real Estate transfers this year. During 1951 we changed our system of receiving transfers, they are now photo-static copies.
In the Building Inspector's report there are upwards of 114 mil- lion dollars of building permits. That is the figure given him. On some of the permits turned over to the Assessors, figures on them in our opinion, were not in keeping with the times, or construction costs. These figures are based on total permits for finished buildings, but, on the annual canvass of your Assessors, they have found some buildings with only basements completed and families living in them. Others have open studding and no trim, still more have no siding, also, there are many permits issued which are not used. In fact, we have permits from 1949 and 1950 that are still in the blueprint stage, so, from the foregoing it is evident that from the total amount an- nounced there is a large amount that can be deducted as no gain at present. Incidentally 1/4 million dollars in 1951 permits is Wil- braham Academy Field House, which, being educational is not sub- ject to taxation.
Your Assessors wish to thank the people of Wilbraham for their whole hearted co-operation. We have every reason to believe we will complete the survey this year.

Gypsy Moth and Dutch Elm Disease Report
During 1951 fifty-five elm trees were cut and burned. Specimens from 27 trees sent to Professor Mckenzie of the University of Massa- chusetts were found to be infested with the Dutch Elm disease. Twenty-eight others were dead.
All elm, maple and oak trees on the Town Highways were sprayed with DET during the later part of May for the control of Elm tree beetle and the Gypsy Moth.
In scouting for Gypsy Moth, 1242 egg clusters were found and destroyed. The largest colony was at Red Bridge with 97 egg clusters.
