REMARKS.
The foregoing thirty-seventh annual report of the Selectmen is respectfully submitted. It contains an account of the expendi- ture of all monies for which the Selectmen are responsible. The work done on the highways is set forth in detail in the re- port of the Superintendent of Streets which follows.
With respect to the work upon the streets the past year, in addition to ordinary grading and repairs, there was a great deal of work done in the construction of new streets, namely, Hill street extension, Nahatan street extension, Broadway extension, Central street extension, Park street, Summit avenue, Winslow avenue extension, also on Nahatan street, near the Westwood line, where a Telford foundation was put in for a distance of about five hundred feet. It was deemed wise to do this work, because there was available for this purpose an abundant supply of good material obtained by reason of the sewer construction. All this work was done at a very low cost and with a saving to the town of at least half the expense if done under ordinary con- ditions.
With the exception of Winslow avenue extension and the section of Nahatan street near the Westwood line, the streets above mentioned were built subject to the betterment act, there- by assessing one-half of the cost of construction on the abuttors.
The widening of Mylod street which was incomplete at the close of last year has been finished as far as laid out.
During the summer considerable work was done on side- walks. In this respect the Selectmen had in view and selected those sections for concrete and granolithic work where the bene- fit would accrue to the greatest number of the public.
Due consideration was given to the recommendations of the Committee of Fifteen, but it was found impossible to comply with them although the Board desired to do so.
We are of the opinion that it would be bad policy for the town to do much work the present year on streets in which sewers have been laid, as many house connections will be made,
57
necessitating the digging up of these streets from time to time, and money expended for work of a permanent character would be wasted, therefore we advise that only absolutely necessary work be done.
Considerable work upon outlying streets remains to be done and we recommend that it be accomplished gradually, by apportioning a reasonable amount for each year hereafter.
The police department, under the direction of Chief Fred S. Sackett, has done good work and has become an efficient instrument for the promotion of public order and security and the enforcement of the laws of the Commonwealth and the by- laws of the town. In dealing with the various matters which have arisen in the conduct of this department the Selectmen have performed their duty solely as justice and the best interest and good name of the town required. As the new by-laws re- quire, the chief of police has compiled and issued, with our ap- proval, rules and regulations for the department which furnish the members of the force with full information as to their duties and which should, we believe, make for a higher standard of discipline and efficiency for the force in the future.
The Selectmen, in common with citizens generally, are in- terested in securing and maintaining a low tax rate, and recom- mend in this connection that all appropriations be carefully con- sidered and as much attention be paid to the large items as to the small.
The activities of the Board of Selectmen have been varied and numerous during the year, and the most careful considera- tion has been given to all matters presented, to the end that the business of the town might be properly and justly administered, and trust that the citizens will so view our efforts.

REPORT OF TREE WARDEN.
NORWOOD, MASS., Feb. 1, 1909. To the Board of Selectmen :
Gentlemen-As Tree Warden of the Town of Norwood I herewith submit my annual report :
Evidences of the Gypsy moth were found in all parts of the town during the canvas last spring when hunting the nests.
Wherever a nest was found the tree or place was marked and the nest treated with creosote. In July, 1908, over three thousand burlaps were used in ninety-one infested places. Thousands of larvæ were found and destroyed. The daily in- spection was carried on for a time the same as last year.
In nearly every case where the trees were burlapped and watched last summer no nests have been found on those trees this season, showing the treatment was successful.
Few Brown-tail moth nests were found last year, but owing to the invasion of thousands of the moths during the early sum- mer, notwithstanding they were hunted and killed, several days being given to this work, many nests have been found this winter.
