Tue Postofice department has sent 
out some valuable instructions regarding 
the addressing of letters. It is evident 
these instructions ought to be read and 
studied by the people at large when it is 
realized that 13,000,000 
pieces of mail matter were sent to the 
more than 
Division of Dead Letters last year, a 
large proportion of which could not be 
delivered because of 
writing addresses.

Thousands of Dollars to be Spent in 
Moth Work on the North Shore 
Again This Spring. 
Col. William D. Sohier of Beverly 
Cove, a member of the Massachusetts 
highway commission, and a man who 
has done more than any other here 
or in this section of Essex county, to 
preserve the glory of the North Shore 
woods from the inroads of the brown tail 
and gypsy moth, is again planning for 
taking up the fight against the moths. 
Thousands and thousands of dollars 
have been raised by Col. Sohier and _ his 
friends among the summer colonists and 
this money has been expended to such 
excellent advantage under state supervis- 
ion, that the ravages of the pests were 
stopped and their destructive work con- 
fined to a comparatively small area. 
Col. Sohier is now planning to raise 
subscriptions among the residents of the 
North Shore. Manchester as a town 
will probably be asked to spend $7,500 
on the condition that at least $22,500 
shall be spent within the borders of the 
town. If Manchester will agree to 
make the contribution, Col. Sohier will 
endeavor to raise the other amount by 
subscription and with his well known 
energy there is but little question but 
what he will succeed. ; 
Thesame proposition will no doubt 
be placed before Beverly.

W. Burr of 
Dorchester has introduced a bill in the 
House which provides that: ‘‘ There 
shall be hereafter no assessment of es- 
tates in the city of Boston for the pur- 
pose of paying, in whole or in part, for 
the suppression of the gypsy and brown- 
tail moths, but the said assessment shall 
hereafter be included in the general tax 
of the city.’’ 
The News believes that this legisla- 
tion would be a step in the right direc- 
tion, as it would place upon the entire 
city the responsibility of exterminating 
the moths. ‘The moth is a public pest, 
and the man who happens to own a big 
estate is no more responsible for the ex- 
istence of the pest than the man who 
owns a small estate or is interested sim- 
ply in the streets on the public highways. 
But legislation that would place the 
responsibility for the extermination of the 
moth upon the general tax levy, would 
be even more desirable from the stand- 
pojnt of results than from the standpoint 
of equity. ‘The simple fact is that under 
the present system of responsibility divid- 
ed between property owners—many of 
them of whom are neglectful—and the 
city, which has not done its work any 
too well, the moths will never be exter- 
minated from the city of Boston. In 
fact, it is doubtful if the nuisance would 
even be lessened under the present sys- 
tem. 
Even in the Highland section of West 
Roxbury, where the West Roxbury Citi- 
zens’ Association has done very active 
and effective work, the moths are thriv- 
ing famously. 
The only way to exterminate the 
moths is to have the work done thor- 
oughly and systematically through one 
agency, and then tax the citizens accord- 
ingly. We assumethat Mr. Burr’s bill 
- being a lecturer as usual. 
is a step inthis direction, and if so, it is 
astep in the right direction. —/amaica
