The unusual amount of snow will make an extra


expense of about


400 00


Total amount* $2,475 00


*Should be paid before the March meeting.


We have in the treasury $367.93 with which to pay the above bills. The Appropriation Committee, in taking the cor- poration and bank tax credits from the treasury to pay for repairing the Everett school building, probably thought they were making a saving for the town, but we think it would have been as well had the appropriation been provided in some other manner. It seems unwise to begin the year with less than twenty-five hundred dollars in the treasury to meet the running expenses for the month of February. or until the appropriations are made.


Our estimates for the ordinary expenses and fixed eharges for the current year are $50,054.00, to which must be added the state and eounty tax.


STREET LIGHTS.


The vote of the town was that the lighting of the streets should be given out by contraet after May 1, 1893. But as the appropriation was eut down over two hundred dollars, the eom- mittee could hardly expect that any person would aeeept the contract.


The Norwood Gas Light Co., having mains in several of the streets, have lighted forty-seven burners from November 1st to February 1st, at the rate of $1.50 per light per month, and the balance of the appropriation has been expended.


We think if a contract could be made with the Gas Light Co. to light about eighty burners at the rate of $12.00 per light per year. the streets would be lighted in a more satisfactory manner than they could be by oil lamps.


BOARD OF HEALTH.


We have adopted last year's Rules and Regulations, with several additions, and herewith print them, and ask that they receive the serious consideration of the citizens of the town.

RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE NORWOOD BOARD OF HEALTH.


Chap. 80, Sect. 18. Public Statutes :- "The Board of Health of a town shall make such regulations as it judges necessary for the public health and safety, respecting nuisances. sources of filth, and causes of sickness within its town.


Whoever violates any such regulation shall forfeit a sum not exceeding one hundred dollars."


The Board of Health of Norwood desires to call the atten- tion of the owners, agents, and occupants of tenement, houses. dwelling houses. market places. and other property in the town. to the necessity of taking prompt and energetic measures for the thorough cleaning up of their premises. and of putting them in such a condition otherwise as to have them conform in all re- spects to the laws in relation to health. The Board of Health will at once proceed to exercise its full authority, particularly to secure strict compliance with the following requirements:


1. The removal of ashes, garbage. and refuse material of any kind from cellars. yards, vacant lots, and passage ways.


2. The removal of the contents of privy vaults and cess- pools, and the disinfection of the same at frequent intervals. There is nothing better for absorbing liquids and disinfecting privy vaults than an abundant supply of dry loam or dry sifted coal ashes thrown in twice a week, or better, daily.


3. All drains, and the receptacles thereof. must be so con- structed and cared for as to prevent the escape of noxious gases therefrom.


4. Every householder in whose dwelling there shall occur a case of small-pox, varioloid. scarlet fever, diphtheria. typhoid fever, dysentery, or measles. shall. immediately upon the dis- covery thereof, report such cases to the Board of Health, and receive instructions therefrom.


ST


5. No person from any dwelling or tenement house wherein a case of small-pox, varioloid, typhoid fever, scarlet fever, diph- theria, or cholera, shall occur, shall attend any school, church, or publie gathering of any kind. without a permit from the Board of Healthi.


6. All persons afflicted with any one of the diseases speci- fied in Rule 5, and all articles infected by the same, shall be immediately separated from all persons liable to contract or communicate the disease.
