REMARKS.
The Selectmen have presented in the foregoing pages their report of the payments of the Town of Norwood, for the year ending January 31, 1905.
The resources of the town are cash on hand in treasury, eighteen thousand sixty-six dollars and seven cents ($18,066.07), the liabilities of the town were reduced eight thousand dollars ($8,000.00). The tax rate for the year 1904 was $16.60, a decrease of ninety cents over last year, and by careful expendi- ture of money the coming year, may be further reduced.
The report of work on highways in detail will be found in the report of the superintendent of streets. At our suggestion the superintendent of streets proceeded to do the work on Wash- ington and Walpole streets by what is known as the Telford system of sub-grading.
These streets were in very bad condition, and to repair them in the usual way would be a waste of money. We found the Telford way of doing the work to be very satisfactory, making a first-class road bed, fully as good as macadamizing at a cheaper cost, and a good deal better than the ordinary way, for the cost of keeping these streets in repair will cost much less in the future. We believe that this manner of repairing the streets should be continued, and during the coming year repairs of this kind should be made on Walpole street in the bad places, and on Washington street from Nahatan street to Railroad avenue, and from Rail- road avenue to the railroad crossing.
We intended to do some work on High, Fulton, Lydon, Casey and Myrtle streets, but in looking over the ground we found that proper grades had not been established, and, also, that there was some question about the street lines. Our appro- priation at the time did not warrant us doing the work. We have requested the superintendent of streets to make a recom- mendation for at least a part of the work to be done this year, for the streets in question are in very poor condition and we believe should be put in proper shape.

On Washington street, between Cottage street and Railroad avenue, the street railway company completed the alteration of tracks, and put in a new turn-out. The work of grading Wash- ington street at this point was done under the Telford system and the street was put in good shape for public travel.
Two new streets were completed during the year ; Winslow avenue was extended to Walnut avenue, and Rock street extended to Lenox street. Work on both streets was done within the appro- priation, and one-half the cost of same will be assessed upon the abutters.
We defended the action against the town for personal injury to Timothy O'Leary, who claimed he was injured at the corner of Nahatan and Washington streets, by falling over a boundary stone. The jury returned a verdict in favor of the town.
In the action against the town for personal injury, brought by Thomas Hayes, caused by defect in sidewalk on Washington street near Rock Hill street, it appears that there is a cesspool under the sidewalk at the place where Mr. Hayes claimed the accident happened, and it had been opened for cleaning, and the cover of the cesspool had not been properly put back in place. Mr. Hayes stepped upon the cover which gave away, causing him to fall into the cesspool, he receiving injuries for which he claimed damages. After giving the matter due con- sideration, we decided to make a settlement with Mr. Hayes and paid him one hundred and fifty dollars in full for the injuries he received.
