She suggested that someone from the City attend the meeting scheduled in Renton. Mayor Bauch introduced Mr. Dwight Gardner who attended the meeting and reported back on the discussion. The Federal Department of Agriculture is conducting a field study to see if there were Gypsy Moths in the area. There were egg masses located in Bryn Mawr, in a 2 block section east of the school, so helicopters were scheduled to spray the area. The Environmentalists objected to this method so it has been changed and will be done by hand. The Gypsy Moth can be destructive to ornamental shrubs and trees.
