Amount to be raised on property, $36,356 59


The amount the town voted to borrow on September 28, $2,550 00, was taken from the treasury, there being that sum un- expended, thus saving interest on that appropriation.


The sum of $2,000.00 that the town voted to appropriate for the High school was not raised by tax, the assessors being of the opinion that it would not be legal under the vote as recorded.


We would suggest that more care be taken in writing motions for the appropriations of large sums of money.


The estimates we have submitted for the expenses of the town for the ensuing year equal the total amount raised by tax in 1889. Any sums voted in excess of those estimates will raise the tax rate. This fact should be remembered when voting on new appropria- tions.


Electric Lights.


An article was placed in the warrant for the last annual meet- ing to see what action the town would take in regard to lighting


41


the streets with electric lights. That article was dismissed from the warrant without debate.


During the year we have received several petitions asking for the franchise of the town. A hearing was given those petitioners, but as no action has as yet been taken by the town favorable to electric lights. we have since decided not to grant any company the franchise.

REPORT OF CEMETERY COMMIS- SIONERS.


The Commissioners of Highland Cemetery present herewith their an- nual financial report:


The cemetery has as in previous years received the personal attention and care of W. A. Talbot, who has done his work, we think, to the satis- faction of all.


The Commissioners would again call attention of the lot owners to the necessity of making provision for the perpetual care of those lots,


Some of the lots that were graded last year have been sold, and the amounts received have been paid to the Treasurer.


A number of lots have been graded, and the bound posts set, and are now ready to be sold.


An appropriation will be asked for at the coming town meeting to be expended in opening some new avenues in both portions of the cemetery.


As stated in the report of last year a portion of the cemetery has been prepared and will be used as a nursery for shade trees for future use.


Respectfully submitted, ALBERT G. WEBB, W. ALLEN TALBOT, JOHN GILLOOLY, Commissioners,

TOWN OF NORWOOD.


EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT


OF THE


SCHOOL COMMITTEE, 1889-90.


REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE FOR 1889-90.


In making their eighteenth annual report the School Com- mittee congratulate the town on its advance in school facilities, as well as material wealth. One has hardly kept pace with the other. but obstacles have gradually been removed until we now possess a full, or very nearly full, educational equipment.


To the members of our corps of teachers who remain with us after years of service. belongs a well earned and honorable mention for their active part in a most important work.


Thanks are due also to influential citizens who have uniformly shown themselves friendly to the best interests of the schools, and have encouraged the Committee in their efforts to provide for and maintain them. Whatever changes are made in management, the time will never come when the best usefulness of those who supervise the schools, and wait upon their wants, will not depend upon the co-operation of parents and the help of enlightened pub- lic sentiment.


Changes of Teachers.


The wages we have thus far been able to offer seem insuffi. cient to prevent an annual change of Assistants in the High School. Miss Olive S. Parsons, called elsewhere by better pay last June. was succeeded by Miss Hattie N. Gage, who has served faithfully to the present date.


68


Mr. Atwood was obliged by ill health to discontinue his work shortly after the opening of the fall term, and Mr. M. J. O'Brien was hired as his substitute, to remain through the school year. Under his experienced hand the Grammar School is in good con- dition, and his effort is untiring to improve it in all respects. In this he is aided by the confidence of his pupils and of teachers of other grades in the building under his charge.


Miss Ethel A. Littlefield took charge of Everett No. 3, on the resignation of Miss Wilbur, at the close of last year's winter term, and resigned the same a few weeks ago (January, 1890). Miss Mabel P. Jepson, an experienced teacher, takes her place, and is doing excellent work.
