Set Forreston Two-Car Crash Damage At $300 Forestry Board Buys Sprayer, Plans Summer The city Forestry Commission at a meeting in the mayor's office on Tuesday afternoon voted to purchase a hydraulic sprayer for use next fall in spraying elms on private property.

The sprayer will have capacity of 55 gallons per minute with 200 feet of high pressure hose. It can be used for trees which cannot be reached from the street or a driveway. Fall spraying must wait until the trees become dormant, it was explained. However, the hydraulic sprayer will be used at once to spray all dead elm wood dumped in the old stone quarry, to protect against emergence of elm bark beetles which breed in dead elm wood. Expenditures of the past year, the commission's first year in ex- istance, were reviewed.

Robert Murray, city forester, outlined the work planned this summer. The crew's work will be confined to dangerous trees and taking out dead elm wood, it was agreed. A budget for the coming year was adopted, subject to approval by the City Council. Funds for operating the first year were advanced from the city's corporate funds, to be repaid eventually from the income from the forestry tax. Chairman Lester H.
