The city council has re-considered its ac-
tion in regard to the treatment OF the worms
infesting the trees belonging to the city and
Street Commissioner Roberts has been in
structed to wage war upon them. Parties
owning trees adjoining those to be treated
by the city may have them treated also at
an expense covering the cost Of the work
and material. A large sprayer owned by
| the Samuel Wells estate will be used in the
work by the city. In this connection, 1t
| will be OF interest to those whose faith in
the use of a spray in the determination of
these vermin is weak, to learn that III. G.
| Smith, who resides at 80 School street, has
used with great success the kerosene emul-
sion, the receipt for which was published in
the JOURNAL last Monday. Mr.. Smith
sprayed his trees thoroughly with this mix
ture and as a result the sidewalks and ad-
joining highway were literally carpeted
with the dead worms which could not
withstand the medicine administered.
