TAX RATE.


The tax rate for the year was nineteen dollars and forty cents ($19.40) per one thousand dollars ($1,000), an increase of one dollar and forty cents per one thousand dollars over the year 1900. The reason for this increase is that the appropriations were over ten thousand dollars more than the previous year.


HIGHWAYS.


No appropriation was made for macadam roads the past year, owing to the fact that a committee was investigating a system of sewerage. As no definite action has been taken by the Town on the question of sewerage, and as the matter is still unsettled, we will not recommend an appropriation for the current year for that purpose.


The work of widening Prospect Street was continued the past year to a point near Prospect Avenue. The land damages have all been paid, and we would recommend that a portion of the street be widened this year, and we ask for an appropriation for this purpose.


WIDENING WASHINGTON STREET.


In compliance with an order of the County Commissioners, the buildings at the junction of Washington and Market Streets, owned by the Lewis Hartshorn and Caleb Ellis estates, were removed and the street widened and graveled. The electric car tracks should be raised to conform to the new grade, and an appropriation will be required to carry out the order of the County Commissioners for the widening of Washington Street on the west side to Nahatan Street.


NEPONSET AND CROSS STREETS.


These streets were put in fair condition for public travel after the electric road was completed, but a further appropriation will be required to put them in condition for acceptance by the County Commissioners. All land damages caused by the widening of Cross and Neponset Streets were paid, with the exception of damages to Eben F. Gay and J. Edwin Hartshorn, which are still pending, and may go to the courts for settlement.


68


NEPONSET RIVER BRIDGE.


The bridge over the Neponset River, between Norwood and Canton, owing to its unsafe condition, was removed and replaced by a new one, at a cost of six hundred and forty-one dollars and twenty-eight cents, the Town of Canton paying one-half the cost. The two other bridges on Neponset Street were rebuilt and made safe for public travel.


LIGHTING STREETS.


A contract was made with the Norwood Gas Light Company to light the streets for a period of two years, from August 1st, 1901, to August 1st, 1903. This was in accordance with the vote of the Town.


BOUNDARY POSTS.


A perambulation of the town boundary lines between Norwood and Walpole was made with the Selectmen of Walpole. All the bound posts were located and re-marked except two, which were inissing. Arrangements have been made with the Town of Wal- pole to have the missing bound posts replaced.


THE NORWOOD, SHARON AND CANTON STREET RAILWAY.


This company had two extensions of time granted during the year, and had the road completed to Washington Street, and in operation from that point October 1, 1902. A further exten- sion of time to July 1, 1902, was granted this company to com- plete the road from the corner of Day and Washington Streets to the Westwood line. The sum of one thousand dollars, depos- ited in the treasury in 1900, is still held as a forfeit under the. original franchise.


SNAKE-UP.


We believe that, in the interest of the public health, the town should make a taking of the land commonly known as " Snake- Up," and owned by the heirs of J. M. Robbins, through to Chapel Street, and beyond if necessary. The waters from Wal- pole Street drain run into this land, and owing to poor drainage, overflow the greater part of it. During warm weather the water becomes stagnant and causes impurities to exist which are detri- mental to the public health and a damage to the owners.


69


CHARLES E. POND.


Our annual Town Report would scarcely be complete withont allusion to the death of our late Treasurer, Charles E. Pond. During his life he was actively engaged in the public affairs of the town, giving his best efforts to its welfare. Mr. Pond was a fair man, a man whose advice was eagerly songht and as cheer- fully given. His many acts of kindness and courtesy to all, in both public and private life, will be lasting remembrances of his true worth. A man of fine sensibilities, of high moral standards and firm convictions, and a faithful public servant, his loss is a public one and mourned by all.


Frank A. Fales was appointed Treasurer, pro tem., to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Charles E. Pond.


Respectfully submitted, FRED L. FISHER, RICHARD E. OLDHAM, Selectmen of Norwood.

NORWOOD, February 1, 1902. To the Board of Selectmen of Norwood :-


Gentlemen : I submit to you my report as Inspector for the year.

All were found to be in a healthy condition and free from tuberculosis or other contagious diseases. All cattle, veal and hogs examined at time of slaughter were found to be free from disease. One suspected case of glanders was quarantined and reported to the Cattle Commissioners, but upon examination by those officials, was released from quarantine.
