xxiv THE GYPSY MOTH. 



25. Employees will exercise great care that they do not carry 

 living larvae from place to place either on their vehicles and cloth- 

 ing or in any receptacle. 



26. When employees under the direction of an inspector are 

 obliged to injure or destroy any property, or when property is 

 accidentally destroyed, or accidents of any kind occur, the facts 

 must be reported at once to the inspector, and he must make a 

 note of the same in his report, giving an estimate of the amount 

 of damage done and names of all witnesses. 



27. Inspectors must note (and ask their men to note) and 

 state in their reports the language and means used by persons ob- 

 structing their work. 



28. When troublesome dogs are encountered inspectors may 

 require the owners to confine them, under penalty of the law. 



29. Employees must not leave ladders standing or lying by the 

 curbstone in the street. They must be taken down when not in 

 use and removed to some safe place. Care must be used in 

 handling ladders and also in climbing trees, not to break or other- 

 wise injure the branches. 



30. Employees must exercise great care in blazing trees. The 

 inner bark should never be cut. 



Fires. 



31. No fires shall be kindled except by order of the division 

 superintendent. 



32. Superintendents will demand that due caution is observed 

 in the kindling and management of fires. They will see that the 

 necessary appliances are at hand for the management and extin- 

 guishing of all fires ordered kindled. Inspectors in charge will be 

 held responsible for the proper management of fires, or if fires are 

 left at the close of the day's work without being extinguished. 



33. No fires are to be built upon sidewalks, or near the curb- 

 stones in the streets. 



Spraying. 



34. Inspectors must notify pedestrians not to walk under trees 

 which are being sprayed, and must avoid spraying on vehicles. 



35. In spraying always station the tank to windward of the 

 sprayers, so that the spray may not blow over it. 



36. Before beginning work on an estate inspectors must re- 

 quest occupants to take clothing from lines, close windows and 

 remove anything that may by any possibility be injured by 

 spraying. 



37. Employees must use great care not to injure lawns, flower- 

 beds, vegetable gardens or other property.
