The selectmen are sending out notices
to the real estate owners of the town,
warning them Of the presence of the
brown-tail moth, and requiring them to
remove the nests from their trees within
thirty days. Under the law, if this is
not attended to by the owner, it may be
done by the town and the cost OF it col
lected from the owner. Considerable
work has been done by men for the town
on the trees in the streets and parks,
and a good many nests have been taken
off, but some are so high as to be out of
reach of any ordinary apparatus. There
are also lot of them scattered about on
orchard and shade trees and bushes on
private property.
Mrs. David B. Woodbury., who has
been an invalid the four years and half
she has lived here, was taken worse from
OVERRIDING three weeks ago and has not
walked step since. She was visited last
week by her nephew, Charles Griffen,
and his wife from Woodstock, N. H.,
who made the proposition, which was
accepted to take her home and care for
her the rest of her life as they could do
it better and cheaper than her husband
could. Last Saturday they took her in
a wheel chair to her new home. She
had improved some and we think she
will walk again. Her daughter, Veola
de Lauzon, goes with her. The parting
which was very necessary was in lore
and sadness.
