REPORT OF CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS.
The Cemetery Commissioners herewith present their report for the financial year ending January 31, 1905.
The labor in care of lots, maintenance and improving avenues and walks, and general care, has been superintended by Mr. Charles B. Dexter.
In addition to the usual care, the preparing of more ground for use has been continued.
More graveling than usual has been done this year on the avenues and walks, and some new ones have been made.
The appearance of the cemetery has been very good the past season, except for some lots, the owners of which have totally neglected to care for.
Some more lot owners have deposited money for perpetual care of their lots.
There have been 89 interments this year.
There are now seven bodies in the tomb.

REPORT OF TREE WARDEN.
NORWOOD, Feb. 1, 1905. To the Board of Selectmen :
GENTLEMEN :- As Tree Warden of the Town of Norwood, I submit the following report :
The trees on the following streets have been trimmed during the last year : Washington, from house of Mrs. Nancy Page to Westwood line, Howard, Baker, Railroad avenue, Nahatan, Linden, Winter, Pleasant, Rock, Wilson, Nichols, Sumner, Water, Casey, Clark, Williams and Lenox.
During the four years that the town' has employed a tree warden, the shade trees on nearly all the streets of the village have been carefully attended to.
With the appropriation granted it is possible only to go over a section each year, but by taking the different localities in the same order year after year, this work may be done quite satis- factorily.
I recommend that the sum of three hundred dollars be appropriated for the care of the shade trees on the highways the coming year.
Respectfully submitted,
H. FRANK WINSLOW, Tree Warden.
