RESOURCES.
The resources of the town are :
Cash in treasury, January 31, 1906,
$15,406 52
REMARKS.
The report of the Selectmen will be found in the foregoing pages for the year ending January 31, 1906.
The resources of the town are cash on hand in treasury, fifteen thousand four hundred and six dollars' and twenty-five cents ($15,406.25). The liabilities of the town were reduced thirteen thousand eight hundred forty-six dollars and twenty-six cents ($13,846.26),
The tax rate for 1905 was $17.40, the increase over last year was caused by the large increase in the state and county tax.
The report for work done on highways will be found in detail in the report of superintendent of streets, the work has been carried out on the lines recommended by the committee of fifteen, and has been found to be very satisfactory. Our streets are in very good condition, considering the open winter with alternate freezing and thawing, which keep the streets in a cut up condition, and subject to constant wear. The thing most needed to keep the streets up to a perfect standard is good gravel to do the work with. This is not lacking in Norwood, but in order to get it the cost comes high. In connection with the gravel used in surfacing the streets, some kind of clay material should be used which would act as a binder to get best results. The gravel which has been used is of a small round stone and of a sandy nature, and when laid on the street has a tendency to spread out and roll, so that in time a good part of it works toward the sides and into the gutter, and is washed away by the heavy rain, and what is left is carted away when the gutters are cleaned in the spring. The consequence is constant gravelling put on the streets in the spring, to be washed and carted away the
48
next spring. To overcome this wasteful and costly way of doing the work, the gravel should be mixed with some other material which would tend to cement it, and when placed on the street it would stay there. This is one of the ways in which our streets could be kept up to the standard. Another way would be to use fine crushed stone for top surfacing only, and this in connec- tion with the present Telford system would make perfect streets.
The stone crushing plant owned by the town should be put in running order, for if left in its present state will become valueless from rust and decay. It should be moved from its present place and be more centrally located.
On petition of Fred L. Fisher and others to the County Commissioners for relocation of Pleasant street in Norwood, the County Commissioners after due notice and hearings adjudged that convenience and necessity required that said way be relo- cated, and on December 5th, 1905, made their return relocating Pleasant street, from Neponset street to the Walpole town line. By the return the town is required to complete the work of re- location within one year, and pay all damages and expenses. No damages are awarded, and abutters are required to remove within three months, everything from lands taken.
