COMMITTEE ON MOTH WORK MAKES REPORT: - 
The committee of summer resi- 
dents having active charge of the 
work of raising funds to carry on 
the war against the moths, and to 
preserve the North Shore woods, 
make a supplementary report to the 
residents of the North Shore in the 
following circular letter issued this 
week, by Col. William D. Sohier, for 
the committee: 
To the residents on the North Shore: 
The work of preserving the forests 
on the North Shore is now in active 
progress. Something over 2500 acres 
have been cleared, the nests ecreo- 
soted, and the trees are now being 
sprayed. We have ten large power 
spraying machines with about 1000 
feet of hose each, requiring a gang 
of nine men. 
We. are attempting to preserve 
the woods near the shore, to pro- 
tect the shore estates and also t9 
preserve the trees on the roadsides. 
Work is being done this year at 
Magnolia, from Fresh Water Cove to 
Magnolia Point. This work is being 
paid. for by subscriptions made by 
the summer residents of that loeal- 
ify, an appropriation from the City 
ef Gloucester, and one from _ the 
State.” | 
The United- States Government 
has co-operated by clearing up some 
of the roadsides for one hundred 
feet on each side. 
Persons using the 
must realize that they are likely to 
meet spraying machines and may 
also meet. a few automobiles and mo- 
tor cycles during the spraying sea- 
son, as it is impossible for the super- 
intendents and inspectors to cover 
the work except in some kind of a 
motor vehicle. It is essential that 
the work should be inspected and 
the machines kept working, as each 
wood _ roads 
one-third 
<9 
hour’s delay on each machine costs 
from $10 to $15. 
The committee hopes that every 
one on the North Shore will observe 
the woods that have been cleaned ‘ip; 
also the work that is being* done 
with the spraying machines. Pléase 
eontrast the conditions where’ the 
work has been done. with the various 
places in the back woods where né 
work could be done because no 
money was available. 
Please realize that there must ‘be 
sume defoliation because the brown 
tail caterpillars begin to eat before 
it is possible to spray, there being no 
leaves large enough to spray, and 
that we cannot: cover the whole 2500 
acres at once; so some of the trees 
will be eaten before we are able to 
reach them. 
We are sending this circular to 
those who have subseribed, so that 
they may see what is being~ done 
with their money, and.to all others 
on the North Shore who have not 
subseribed in ease they may be wil- 
ling to do their share toward this 
work and thé maintenance of our 
28 miles of private wood roads, in 
which case they will kindly send 
checks to Wm. D. Sohier, 15 Ash- 
burton place, Boston. 
The first. $37,500 is being contri- 
buted one-third by Beverly and Man- 
chester, one-third by the State, and 
from the subscriptions 
made to our committee. All the 
work is being done by the State 
Forester’s department, under the di- 
rection of Mr. L. H. Worthley, Su- 
perintendent in charge of Gypsy 
Moth work.
