FINANCIAL.
Our estimates for the ordinary expenses and fixed charges for the current year are, $57,295.00, to which must be added the state and county tax. There is in the treasury a balance of $3,460.47 which will be sufficient to pay all bills that come due before the new appropriations are made.
If the amount to be paid for interest on water bonds and for the sinking fund is voted from the treasury of the water
48
commissioners, it will be seen that we still have a larger sum to be raised by tax than that raised last year, without making any new appropriations.
We recommend, that if any addition is made to the High School building, or extensions to the water mains voted, or other large appropriations made when notes of the town are to be issued, that the time fixed for payment be at a more distant date than has been the custom in the last few years.
The valuation of the town for the year 1894 shows an increase of $168,000.00 over that of 1893, and we look for an increase of $125,000.00 for 1895; but while the town is thus increasing in value each year, it is well that we do not lose sight of the fact that our expenses for schools, etc., are increas- ing at a greater rate than the valuation.
As a town we want to be in the lead in all things that tend to its welfare and prosperity; but all new projects, whether public buildings, electric railroads, or concrete walks, should be carefully considered.
SCHOOLS.
The difference between the appropriation voted by the town and raised by tax for schools and that claimed by the school committee is due, no doubt, to a new system of book- keeping originated by the financier of that committee.
The amount paid by our order, about $180.00, and not included in the sum reported expended by the committee, is for the tuition of scholars at the truant school and other school bills that were verbally approved by some member of the committee. Why the committee should employ a truant officer, pay him a salary, direct him to send scholars to the truant school, and then refuse to pay their tuition, we do not understand, but, as that is the situation, we shall ask for a separate appropriation.
49
STREET LIGHTS.
Under the vote of the town passed at the March meet- ing, a contract was made with the Norwood Gas Light Co. for street lights for a term of four years from August 1, 1894.
The contract has not been carried out the past year by the Company, but we expect it will be for the balance of the term. For the information of the voters we print the agree- ment as signed. As we have received quite a number of requests for new lights the amount of the appropriation is increased.
Artieles of Agreement between the Town of Norwood, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the Norwood Gas Light Com- pany, a corporation doing business at said Norwood.
Said Town of Norwood, on its part, agrees, in consideration of the undertakings and agreements on the part of said Gas Light Com- pany, to pay said Gas Light Company fifteen dollars a year each for not less than eighty gas-lights, the locations of which are to be made by the Seleetmen of said Town on the existing lines and the lines of pipe of said Gas Light Company extended as hereinafter provided, and to pay said Gas Light Company twelve dollars a year for not less than twenty-five gasolene or kerosene lights, both said rates to be applied to any additional number of gas-lights or gasolene or kero- sene lights that said Seleetmen may locate above the number of eighty and twenty-five respectively, and both elasses of lights to be maintained and furnished twenty-four nights each calendar month, the gas-lights from a half-hour after sunset until half-past twelve the next morning, and the oil lights until daylight.
Said Norwood Gas Light Company, in consideration of the fore- going undertakings and promises of said Town of Norwood, agrees to lay a gas main from a point on Pleasant Street, opposite Railroad Avenne, through Railroad Avenue to a connection with the existing main near the store of Frank A. Fales; also on Railroad Avenue from Washington to School Street; on Nahatan Street from Washington to Sehool Street; on Cottage Street from Washington to Niehols Street; and on Chapel Street either from Walpole to Cedar Street or from Washington to Cedar Street; and for the term of four years from the completion of said connections, and not later than the first of August next (unavoidable delays only exeepted), to maintain such a number of gas-lights, not less than eighty, as the Seleetmen shall
50
locate, at the rate of fifteen dollars a year for a service of twenty-four niglits each ealendar month, from a half-hour after sunset until half- past twelve the next morning, and also such a number of gasolene or kcrosenc lights, not less than twenty-five, as the Selectmen shall locate off the lines of the Gas Light Company's mains.
It is mutually agreed that this contract shall be in force for the term of four years from the first day of August next, or such earlier datc as the connections are made and lights located as above ; that payments hereafter shall be made by said Town to said Gas Light Company quarterly during the term; and that all additional lights of either class ordered or located by the Selectmen of the Town shall be promptly established and maintained for the balance of the term at the same rates and upon the like terms of payments.
In witness whereof, said Town of Norwood, by its Selectmen, hereunto duly authorized, and said Norwood Gas Light Company, by its President and Treasurer, hereunto duly authorized, have set their hands and seals this first day of May A. D. 1894.

GRADE CROSSINGS.
The supreme court having affirmed the decrees of the superior court for the abolition of the crossings at Guild and Washington Streets, we expect work will be commenced on the Washington Street crossing in the early spring; we there- fore ask for an appropriation for that purpose, that there may not be any delay on the part of the town.
.
51
HIGHWAYS.
At the annual meeting it was voted to expend $1,000.00 widening Winter Street, and that the work be done by con- tract. John Nugent agreed to build 900 feet for that sum, and has nearly completed the work. $900.30 has been paid on account, and we shall ask that the balance of the appropria- tion be saved. The sum of $2,000.00 will be required to finish the street to the entrance of Highland Cemetery, as laid out. We recommend that $1,500.00 be raised for this street this year; also the sum of $500.00 to be expended on Foundry Street.
BOARD OF HEALTH.
As the Board of Health, we have during the past year expended quite a sum in furnishing nurses in contagious diseases and in cleaning up certain premises. A large portion of this amount, as will be seen . by the treasurer's report, has been refunded to the town, and the balance will be the current year.
We would again call the attention of the voters to the need of a system of sewage in the more thickly settled portion of the town, and ask that the matter be carefully considered. . In a few cases we have found considerable feeling in regard to the action of the Board, but the larger number willingly com- plied with our orders.
The attention of physicians and householders is respect- fully called to the rules and regulations as adopted by the Board.

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 attention 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 respects 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 constructed 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 discovery thereof, report such cases to the Board of Health, and receive instructions therefrom.
53
5. No person from any dwelling or tenement house wherein a case of small-pox, varioloid, typhoid fever, scarlet fever, diphtheria, or cholera, shall occur, shall attend any school, church, or public gathering of any kind, without a per- mit from the Board of Health.
6. All persons afflicted with any one of the diseases specified in Rule 5, and all articles infected by the same, shall be immediately separated from all persons liable to contract or communicate the disease.
7. When a householder knows that a person within his family is sick of any of the diseases specified in Rule 5, he shall not allow any book, paper, or magazine to be taken from or returned to the Public Library, without a written permit from the Board of Healtlı.
8. The Board of Health shall give to the Librarian im- mediate information of all cases of contagious diseases re- ported to them, and she is to allow no person to return to or to take from the Library any book, paper, or magazine, unless such person shall present a written permit from the Board of Health, as specified in Rule 7.
9. Should any well, cistern, or other receptacle, the water of which is used for drinking or culinary purposes, pre- sent a suspicious appearance from unsanitary surroundings, the Board of Health may make a simple qualitative examination of the same ; and should it be found to contain any substances which are likely to be hurtful, the Board may cause the water to be analyzed by a competent chemist, and by him pronounced . safe before allowing it to be used, and the expense incurred thereby shall be paid by the owner of said well.
10. All owners of buildings or premises of whatever de- scription, or their authorized agents, are hereby notified that all such buildings and premises must be cleansed from all nuisances, sources of filth, and causes of sickness, on or before the twentieth day of May of the present year. Non-compli- ance with the above notice will be construed by the Board of
54
Health as a refusal, and the Board, when satisfied upon due examination that any nuisance, source of filth, or cause of sick- ness does exist, may cause the same to be removed, and all expenses incurred thereby shall be paid by the owner, occu- pant, or other persons, who caused or permitted the same. All complaints to the Board, presented in writing, duly signed, will be considered confidential, and receive attention in due course. Anonymous communications will not be recognized.
11. No person shall remove or carry in or through any of the streets, lanes, courts, or avenues within the town of Norwood, the contents of any cesspool, vault, or privy vault, or deposit the same within the limits of the town, without per- mission from the Board of Health.

INSPECTOR'S REPORT.
NORWOOD, January 31, 1895. To the Board of Selectmen of Norwood : -
GENTLEMEN : As Inspector of Animals and Provisions, by your appointment, under Chapter 491 of the Acts of 1894, I beg leave to make the following report.
I have, during the year, made two thorough examinations of all neat cattle found within the limits of the town.
Fifteen milch cows with symptoms of Tuberculosis have been quarantined, reported to, and examined by the Board of Cattle Commissioners.
Ten of this number have been killed, two ordered killed, two released, and one still held to be tested. Those that were killed were examined and found to be diseased, the owners being satisfied of the same.
One horse suspected of having a contagious disease was ordered quarantined, reported to, and examined by the Cattle Commissioners, and ordered killed, it having the Glanders.
I have inspected, at the time of slaughter, forty beef cattle; thirty-eight being found in a healthy condition, and two being diseased were destroyed.
The total expense of veterinary examinations, quarantiners, etc., was twenty-six dollars.
ALBERT FALES,
Inspector.
