exorbitant rates of interest, that this committee defer further ac- tion until money can be borrowed at a lower rate of interest.
One of the committee, feeling that if the matter was permitted to cool off it would be impossible to create any interest the second time, after fully considering the matter, called on Mr. Cushing at his office in Boston and invited Messrs. Cushing, Berwick and Plimpton to Norwood to look at another piece of land better adapted for business than the Everett lot, and which could be had for less money.
In September, 1893, Messrs. Cushing, Berwick and Plimpton came to Norwood one afternoon, and accompanied by J. M. Folan, looked the Fuller lot over. They then took this lot under consideration and two days after made the following proposi- tion to George S. Winslow, chairman of our committee, which agreement we accepted:
Memorandum of agreement made this sixteenth day of De- cember, 1893, between George S. Winslow, chairman, and George Hill, secretary of the Norwood Business Committee, so called, and the firms of J. S. Cushing & Co., Berwick & Smith and H. M. Plimpton & Co. of Boston.
A certain lot of land has been purchased from Priscilla S. Fuller by said Winslow and Hill for three thousand dollars, in the interest of said committee. Said committee proposes to fur- nish said firms with said land and seven thousand dollars, to be paid by July 1, 1894, and the remaining half by January 1, 1895; said additional sum to be applied toward the expense of buildings and improvements on said land for use by said firms. Said firms jointly and severally agree with said Winslow and Hill, as trustees for said committee, that if said land is conveyed and money paid for the benefit and use of said firms as above agreed, said firms will at once and as fast as is reasonably possi- ble proceed to erect suitable buildings thereon to accommodate their business, equal in capacity at least to a three-story build- ing 60x100 feet, and remove from Boston thereto and establish thereon a manufacturing business consisting of typesetting, electrotyping, printing and binding books, and increase the same to as large an amount and extent as said firms are reasonably able to do, and continue the same for five years at least.
151
In case by reason of any unexpected contingency, or for any reason, said firms shall be prevented and fail so to do, said firms agree in addition as a penalty to refund to said Winslow and Hill, as trustees as aforesaid, and for the benefit of the town of Norwood, such proportion of said amount of ten thousand dol- lars as the length of time by which the time said business is carried on shall fall short of the period of five years bears to the full length of time (that is to say, at the rate of two thousand dollars a year for the deficiency in time).
(Signed) GEORGE S. WINSLOW, Chairman, GEORGE HILL, Secretary, J. S. CUSHING & CO., BERWICK & SMITH, H. M. PLIMPTON & CO.
The committee, not having collected any money as yet, were compelled to issue a demand note for $3,000 with which they purchased the land. After purchasing the Fuller lot, the com- mittee abandoned the idea of purchasing the Everett lot.
Shortly after the committee purchased the Fuller lot, H. M. Plimpton & Co. decided to withdraw and J. S. Cushing & Co. and Berwick & Smith agreed to assume what the three firms originally agreed upon. The following agreement was signed by them:
Norwood, Mass., March 6, 1894.
To the Norwood Business Committee.
Gentlemen: If you will accept our two undersigned firms in lieu of the three firms, originally proposed, we are prepared, bar- ring unexpected accidents, to carry out at once the agreement of Deceniber 16, 1893, entered into by J. S. Cushing & Co., Ber- wick & Smith and H. M. Plimpton & Co., with your committee; or, if acceptable to you, we will erect buildings according to plans shown the committee on February 21, 1894, in place of those mentioned in aforesaid agreement.
J. S. CUSHING & CO., BERWICK & SMITH.

Shortly after the aeeeptanee of this agreement the committee deeded the Fuller lot to The Norwood Press Company.
Early in Mareh, 1895, The Norwood Press Company broke ground for the ereetion of the best printing establishment in this country and one of the best in the world.
Messrs. Hill and Folan began collecting from subseribers on June 20, 1894, in order to pay the first instalment on the seven thousand dollars due July 1, 1894, and the second due Jan- uary 1, 1895.
After many months of hard work on the part of the committee and after receiving many insults and being aeeused of working for their own selfish ends, they sueeeeded in colleeting $6,384.59 from the following subseribers:

Many of those who subscribed were not able to pay their as- sessment owing to the low wages they were earning, and for that reason we were compelled to resort to other methods to raise the balance.
The committee with the assistance of the Business Associa- , tion availed themselves of the opportunity to raise a part of the amount required by a public dedication of the buildings of the Norwood Press from which we received the sum of $1,085.07. The social success of this affair is too well known to us all to require any comments from the committee at this time.
In April, 1895, the committee took under consideration the advisability of having a Grand Trades Parade and Field Day. The matter was advocated in the local press and was so ably pre- sented to the citizens by our former secretary (the lamented George Hill), that your committee was assured of its success from the start.
The success of this affair was due to the hearty co-operation of all the citizens of the town and in an especial manner to George E. Stewart, who acted as chief marshal of the parade, and to P. F. Brennan, chairman of the committee on sports.
The net receipts were $859.45.
The town voted in March, 1896, that the town treasurer pay
159
to the committee a sum not to exceed $2,500. The failure on the part of the town's officials to comply with that vote at once was not duc to a lack of disposition, but was owing to the fact that only money coming from certain sources could be legally taken, and as soon as the opportunity presented itself, they willingly availed themselves of it, and on December 27, 1897, the town treasurer paid to our treasurer, Francis Doane, the sum of twenty-five hundred dollars, making the total receipts of the committee as follows:

This is only a part of the benefits derived from the efforts of your committee. The beautiful additions made this year from which the town will receive large revenues in the shape of taxes. and water rates, and the large increase in the amount of the pay roll, should be noted. That portion of the town surrounding the Press has changed from a rough pasture to a beautiful garden with delightful lawns, walks, and drives, decorated with trees, shrubs and flowers, showing not only to the people of Norwood but to every one coming to our town the public spirit of the men connected with this establishment and also marking a new era for the thrifty town of Norwood and reflecting credit on her much abused mossbacks.
Before concluding I wish to make a comparison.
In the March number of the Printer and Bookmaker wc find the following item:
"The W. B. Conkcy Company of Chicago, one of the largest. book manufacturing concerns in the West, if not in the country, will remove to Hammond, Ind., just over the state line. A land syndicate in Hammond gives to the Conkey Company ten acres of land and $75,000.00 in cash, toward the erection of its build- ings. The new building will cost $150,000.00, and will be one story high. It has contracted to employ not less than six hun- dred hands for the next five years."
It may be of interest to know that in anticipation of erecting the above-mentioned one-story buildings, Mr. W. B. Conkey made a special trip from Chicago to Norwood to inspect the buildings of the Norwood Press Company.
Respectfully submitted, JAS. M. FOLAN,
Secretary for the committee.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
To the Voters of Norwood :-
The work of the Board of Health during the past year has been carried forward along the lines followed in pre- vious years. With a more or less perfect set of plumbing regulations, under which all new plumbing has to be done, there is little if any danger of the modern plumbing being seriously at fault from a sanitary standpoint.
It is the old-fashioned plumbing which was put into the older houses, and the defective sink drain arrangements, that have given the Board the most concern.
We would again call your attention to the absolute neces- sity of having all sink drains properly trapped and ventilated, if the spread of disease is to be prevented.
During the past year there has been a marked decrease of infectious diseases as reported to the Board in all instances but one. In this one there is a marked increase. Fortu- nately the increase is in the one which is generally regarded as less serious. The following table shows comparatively the records of the years 1896, 1897 and 1898 : -
1896. 1897. 1898.

Leaving out of account measles, which has been epidemic during the past year, the record is certainly found to be a very encouraging one.
What can we say or do to prevent measles becoming epi- demic? One of the earlier symptoms of the disease being a cough, it is not surprising that many regard the cough as simply the accompaniment of a cold which the child is sup- posed to have. Herein lies the danger, for it is probable that during this very early stage of the disease is the patient more capable of infecting other subjects.
We look to the mothers very largely for help in prevent- ing its spread. Having had one experience with the disease, its characteristic cough should be early recognized and the child kept quarantined. Attendance on public and private schools, intermingling in public halls, churches, etc., with others not infected, must be denied to those suffering with the disease. While the discase scems less serious than some of the other diseases with which most children have to strug- gle, it may leave very serious after effects. We should rec- ognize our moral obligation and carefully restrain suspected subjects from mingling with those not immune. The old idea that all children must have measles, as well as all of the other diseases which children may have, should not be en- tertained. It is not in harmony with modern scientific thought.
We would again call the attention of the public to the possible dangers of expectorating in places where the spu- tum when dry may be blown about in the atmosphere. Phthisis (consumption). which is so common and so fatal, and which develops so insidiously, may be contracted by inhaling this dried sputum, and all possible means should be used to prevent its spread. If for no other reason than cleanliness we should refrain from expectorating in public placcs.

The Board acknowledges the assistance rendered by the physicians of the town, who are unselfishly interested in bringing about more healthful conditions in notifying the Board of conditions which it is their function to correct.
