FINANCIAL.
Our estimates for the ordinary expenses and fixed charges for the current year are as follows :
Town grant, $58,520 70
State tax, 1,800 00
County tax, 2,800 00
$63,120 70
From the balance in the Treasury the following sums should be saved for the original appropriations :
For High School note due March 1, 1896, $2,000 00
Land damage, Washington Street, 424 50
Rock Street, balance of appropriation, 210 00
Highways, balance of appropriation, 200 00
Hillside Street appropriation, 250 00
Drainage of water from Munroe Street, 65 00
Street lighting, 384 00
$3,533 50
On January 31, 1896, there was due the town the follow- ing amounts, namely :
From poor account,
$315 90
Concrete walks,
957 21
Betterment assessments,
903 00
Gravel, loam, etc.,
111 43
State highway,
307 13
Repairs on sewer,
846 24
State aid, 172 00
$3,612 91
The balance in the Treasury will, in our opinion, meet the obligations of the town for the month of February; but if the custom of the past few years, of referring all appropriations to
56
a committee, is to be followed out, an appropriation should be made at the March meeting sufficient to meet the school and other necessary expenses for the month of March.
The balance in the Treasury should not at the close of the financial year be less than $5,000.
We believe that the appropriations made this year should be such that the tax rate may be reduced to $16 on $1,000.
The valuation of the town for the year 1895 shows an increase of about $330,000, and we look for an increase in 1896, but cannot expect so large a gain as was made in 1895.
HIGHWAYS.
The streets are all in a fair condition through the center of the town, and we have therefore made a reduction in our estimate for highways the present year. We ask for an ap- propriation for paving gutters on Cottage, Vernon, and Winter Streets, and Railroad Avenue.
STATE HIGHWAY.
Late in the fall of 1895 we were notified that the High- way Commissioners had an appropriation of $4,500 that could be expended in the town, and under the vote of the March meeting the Board made a contract to do certain work at a given price per ton for macadam and stone, and a given price per yard for gravel and excavation. The town can do the work, but the prices paid are simply contractors' prices, and are lower than those the town has been in the habit of paying to the men and teams for general highway work. The con- tract signed was for three-fifths of a mile on Washington
57
Street, commencing at Ellis Bridge on the line between Ded- ham and Norwood. It will take about four days to complete the street, and we recommend that it be finished before a new contract is made. In this way we shall be able to judge whether it is for the interest of the town to do the work or to allow the Commissioners to give the work to contractors. The first survey made was for one mile, which ends at the house of H. W. Barrett. A second mile has been ordered surveyed, which will end on Walpole Street, near Eliot Street. Our only objection to the road is that it is built too narrow, being only fifteen feet of macadam and finished twenty-one feet wide. The engineer has agreed that it shall be finished twenty-four feet wide through the main part of the town. We believe that when finished all will agree that macadam is the proper material to build our highways with, and that four miles of State road will make a large saving in our highway appropriation.
GRADE CROSSINGS.
It is our opinion that the end of 1896 will see the bad grade crossing at Guild Street abolished, and we hope also to see the work done at Winslow's Station. The railroad com- pany having put in the trestle at Guild Street, an agreement has been made whereby the town is to remove the earth filling from the railroad location and use it in grading Guild Street and a portion of Foundry Street. Work on the new depot will be begun as soon as the bridge's are completed.
BOARD OF HEALTH.
In the year 1894 quite a large sum was expended in cases of contagious diseases, in hiring nurses and other ways, and we are pleased to report that every dollar of that sum has been re-
58
paid to the town treasurer. The work done in that year shows for itself in the reduced number of cases reported to the Board.
In 1894 there was reported 42 cases of scarlet fever.
2 " diphtheria. In 1895, 14 " scarlet fever. 4 " diphtheria.
We hope and trust that after the new board are elected and get to work contagious diseases will be unknown in our town.
BETTERMENT ASSESSMENTS.
During the past year we have finished the widening and grading of Winter Street to the entrance of Highland Ceme- tery, have built the extension of Hoyle Street, and have graded Highland Street. These streets having been laid out under the statute relating to betterments, the board have assessed betterments thereon.
This being the first year in this town that any action has been taken under this law, we have inade a careful study of the question, and are of the opinion that the form of our assess- ment is correct and will stand. The board elected this year should see that the sums assessed are collected.
The amount of the assessment laid for building concrete walks the past year has been reduced about $450, under the law that limits the assessment to one-half the expense, but not to exceed in any case one per cent. of the value of the abut- ting estate, several of the estates on Washington Street having a large frontage.
59
STREET RAILROAD.
The franchise granted to the Norfolk Central Street Rail- way Co. was accepted by the board of directors and returned to this Board Monday, February 10, 1896. In granting this ordinance the Board feel that they have acted for the best interests of a large majority of the people of the town, and that the rights of the town are securely guarded. Work on the line is to be commenced on or before June 1, 1896. The track is to be laid on the east side of Washington Street from the Dedham line to Guild Street, on the west side from Guild Street to Winslow's crossing, and on the east side from Wins- low's crossing to the Walpole line. The roadbed is to be fiul- ished with gravel between the two bridges, from High Bridge to Howard Street with macadam, from Howard Street to Guild Street, block paving, and from Guild Street to Winslow's crossing, macadam, Winslow's crossing to Walpole line, gravel. From Howard Street to Guild Street the Company are to pave a gutter on the east side four feet wide. All street crossings are to be paved or covered with such material as will be satis- factory to the Selectmen. Trees are to be trimmed only by some person to be appointed by the Selectmen. The Water Commissioners and the Norwood Gas Light Co. are to have the right at any time to remove the tracks and to dig up the streets for the purpose of repairing or to lay new mains. If at any time the grade of any street is ordered changed, the Company is to remove the tracks and make such changes as to conform with the new grades as ordered. The Company is to defend and to save the town harmless from any action that may accrue by reason of any accident that may happen by the use of said rail- road. On the completion of the widening of Washington Street, as ordered by the County Commissioners, the Company is to pay to the town the sum of fifteen hundred dollars, and the further sun of fifteen hundred dollars is to be paid on the abolition of the grade crossing at Winslow's Station. The Company also agrees to furnish transportation for the school
1
60
children at half rates. This we believe will settle the question of the conveyance of children from the outlying districts to the central schools. High Bridge is to be considered as a grade crossing, and each car is to stop one hundred feet from the bridge, and the conductor is to go forward, so as to avoid meeting teams under the bridge.
THE NEW VALUATION.
The Assessors have made and printed the valuation of the town, under the vote of March last, and the same has been distributed. We have endeavored to do our whole duty in this matter, and trust that the work has in the main been satisfactory to the tax payers. If we have made errors of judgment we are willing to be forgiven. We notice some criticisms in the press of the manner in which the work of the town officers has been performed in the past, but we think that whether the town has been governed by an oli- garchy or by the people for the past twenty-four years, all must admit that the town has been well governed, that the people are orderly and prosperous, and that Norwood stands in the front rank as a model country town.
It is a source of consolation to the Selectmen that in looking up the origin of the different letters and editorials as published, casting reflections on the actions of this Board, to find that in each and every case the writing has been done by persons who have been in the past and are at the present time candidates for a town office.
REPORT OF HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING COM- MITTEE.
In response to the demand of the School Committee for addi- tional High School accommodations, the town voted last March to raise and appropriate for that purpose $10,000, and chose
61
E. J. Shattuck, Tyler Thayer, John F. Kiley, F. M. Baker, and George Hill a Building Committee to provide the required school room.
The Committee, at its first meeting, clected E. J. Shattuck, chairman, George Hill, clerk, and Tyler Thayer, superintendent of the work of construction. Architect W. Tilden, of Boston, was employed to draw plans and specifications. Estimates were obtained from threc Norwood builders, and also from M. W. Allen, of Wal- polc, and tlic contract was awarded to M. H. Howard, as the lowest bidder.
Tlic figures below show to whom and for what the money lias been paid. The work has been well done, and we have the assurance of school teachers from other towns, as well as our own, that we have a convenient, healthful and commodious High School building. It has abundance of light, is scientifically heated and ventilated, supplied with water and gas, and is sufficiently roomy to last the town many years under proper grading of the schools.
To obtain all this the older part was economically utilized, so as to give as much uniformity to thic structure as a whole as possible. Extras, such as a complete grading of the grounds, gas fixtures, extra plumbing for sinks, payment of Superintendent, have slightly overrun the appropriation. Without these extras the cost would liave been within the sum granted. No dollar has been uselessly expended, and all the work done has been to the satisfaction of the Superintendent and the Committee. We confidently believe that tlic citizens of the town will be equally satisficd.

INSPECTOR'S REPORT.
NORWOOD, January 31, 1896.
To the Board of Selectmen of Norwood : -
GENTLEMEN : I submit to you my report for the year as Inspector of Animals and Provisions.
Under instructions from the State Board of Cattle Com- missioners I made, during the first part of the year 1895, ex- amination of all the largest herds of cattle, and commencing December 1 I have made a thorough examination of all neat cattle owned or kept within the limits of the town.
During the year thirty-three milch cows have been quar- antined and tested by the State Inspector with tuberculin. Of this number twenty-nine were found to have tuberculosis. Twenty-three have been paid for and killed, and six are now held in quarantine, but will be killed as soon as an appropria- tion is granted. Four of the number inspected have been released.
Of the number of beef cattle inspected at the time of slaughter, three only were found to be diseased and were destroyed.
The owners of the twenty-three cows killed have received from the State, under the present law, the sum of $805.00, being nearly the full value.
The total expense of veterinary examinations during the year has been three dollars.
Owing to the fact that the State appropriation has been exhausted, orders have been received to suspend operations for the present.
ALBERT FALES, Inspector.
