During the year ending Jan. 31, 1911, we have purchased 512,850 kilowatts at an average price of $.022. There has been
10
delivered and sold to commercial customers 361,257 kilowatt hours.
The Board has voted to reduce the prices for both lighting and power, which will go into effect in the early spring.
I believe that this reduction will be of benefit to the Depart- ment as well as to the citizens as the earnings should increase from the large number of new customers that will connect as a result of the lower rate.
In compliance with the laws, I submit the following esti- mate of the cost of operations for the year ending January 31, 1912.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS
OF THE
TOWN OF NORWOOD
REPORT OF CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS.
The Highland Commissioners herewith present their thirty-first annual report which we will endeavor to make more comprehensive than usual.
The cemetery contains 17 2-10 acres of land, of which about 8 1-3 acres are now in use, 2 2-3 acres of which is in the Catholic part, leaving about 8 3-4 acres unused.
The cost of the cemetery as transferred from the Cemetery Committee to the Cemetery Commissioners in 1880 was $6,556.80 to which expenditures for digging well, building tomb, tool house, tools, surveying, making new avenues, maple and elm trees planted, town water, and other expenses besides the usual expense of the regular maintenance about $3,725, making the total cost about $10,282.
There has been town appropriations since 1880 of $1,700.
The number of lots taken to February 1, 1911, is 444; of which 157 are in the Catholic part; 494 single graves have been taken of which 305 are in the Catholic part.
The first interment was April 25, 1880; since then there has been 2,037, of which 840 were in the Catholic part.
There has been six removed from the cemetery.
Work the past season has required the labor of four men in the busy part of the season.
As the easiest part of the grounds to grade has been taken up, the rougher ground left with the increased cost of labor, make the cost of graded lots much more than they did some years ago.
There are now graded 42 lots and 46 graves ready for use.
There are now 40 lots in perpetual care; 8 lots have been put in perpetual care the past season.
4
We are pleased to see owners of lots are thinking more of the necessity of providing for the future care of them.
Mr. Charles B. Dexter has superintended the labor of main- tenance and improving of avenues and walks, care of lots, putting in foundations for monuments, and grading new lots and graves.
This season, 25 new lots have been graded ready for use; some more are partly graded and will be finished in another season.

REPORT OF TRUSTEES
OF THE
Morrill Memorial Library
NORWOOD, MASS.
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE MORRILL MEMORIAL LIBRARY.
The Trustees are particularly gratified over the results obtained at the Library during the past year. They are satis- fied that the public is realizing more and more clearly the pri- vileges offered by the Library and that the so-called " literary habit," admittedly a most excellent one, is being acquired by our citizens. With few exceptions the circulation has increased each month. A notable illustration of this is the month of May, 1910, which shows a gain of 200 volumes over the month of April; and of 400 volumes over that of May, 1909. The circu- lation for November, 1910 was unusually large, amounting to 3,713 volumes. The circulation for the year totals 41,500 volumes.
As the circulation grew, the work of the Library necessarily increased, and in order to keep up with the demands of the Library a second assistant was engaged at the beginning of the year for two hours per week. It soon became necessary to extend the service to four days per week, and in December last the demand was such the assistant was engaged for the full six week days.
In March, 1910 the books were checked up, and the Trustees take pleasure in reporting that every volume was accounted for. This condition demonstrates the fact that the public can safely be trusted with the privilege of free access to the books in the stack-room.
The Trustees have endeavored for a long time to bring about the co-operation of the Schools with the Library and report some gain in that direction this year. The Superintendent of Schools requested the Trustees to add a line of books which he
4
desired the teachers to read and these books were secured. The teacher of English in the High School brings her classes to the Library in the morning for instruction relative to the use of reference books. The Trustees earnestly hope that all teachers will aid as far as possible in bringing the Library and the Schools into closer relationship.
A Children's Room is greatly needed, not only for the sake of the children and the comfort of adult readers, but also for the relief of the present Stack-Room. Under the existing con- ditions, if all the books in circulation were called in, the Stack- Room would be insufficient to properly care for them. The time is not far distant, therefore, when the town will be called upon to provide funds for the proper equipment of some portion of the Library Building for a Children's Room. In the opinion of the Trustees a portion of the basement can be utilized for that purpose.
Attention is called to the appropriation for the Library. In March, 1906 the town appropriated $3,000.00 At that time, there were in the Library, 10,563 volumes, and the circulation for that year was 32,900 volumes. The Library now consists of 14,536 volumes and the circulation for the past year was 41,500 volumes. To properly carry out the work of the Library an increased appropriation is imperatively needed, and the Trustees have determined to request it this year.
The Trustees desire to acknowledge the following gifts,

The receipts from water rates and sale of water for special purposes for the year are $24,776.23, or an increase over the previous year of $845.40. As trustees of the Sinking Fund, we report the following additions: $2,000.00 the annual re-
4
quirements, and $1,387.42 the interest on investments, all investments being in Savings Banks and town notes. $10,000.00 in bonds became due June 1st, 1910 and was paid from the Sinking Fund; notes to the amount of $2,600.00 due in 1910, was paid from the Water Commissioners Treasury. The total net debt on the Works at the present time is $33,197.87.
The past year was a very severe one on our supply, not so much because of the increase in pumpage, but because the past three years have been so dry, the Pond dropped to 168 inches below the overflow; this was 30 inches lower than it ever was before, which is very near the danger point and an additional supply must be found at once.
A Committee of three was appointed at the December Town Meeting to work in connection with the Water Commissioners to report at a future town meeting on an additional supply, the committee have had several meetings and we hope to report something definite in the near future.
We have laid during the past year a total of 4,907 ft. of water mains, (972 ft. of 6-in. and 3,935 ft. of 8-in. pipe), it is the policy of the board to lay 8-in. or larger mains on all extensions with the exception of short cross streets, the cost of laying is the same, the only difference is in the cost of the pipe, which is small in comparison to the future benefits that will be derived as the town grows larger.
It is a source of pleasure to report that we are now connected with our neighboring town of Walpole. They extended their water mains to the Norwood town line; we made all necessary connections, such as meter, valves, etc., which are located in a man hole under the highway. We consider this connection a great benefit to both towns as in case of a serious conflagration, or a break we can help each other out. We appreciate very much the spirit shown by the Walpole Water Commissioners in agree- ing to our proposition to connect the two systems.
We have now 1012 meter services on the system and there
5
are quite a few of these that use more than their allowance of water; this causes some controversy at times. We wish to say that we have no authority to abate these excesses unless the meter should prove to be wrong. This is not the case once in 100 times, the meter almost invariably being in favor of the con- sumer. We caution you again to watch your meters, figure them every month if necessary. You are allowed under the $10.00 a year rate 445 feet, under the $20.00 rate 1112 feet each month; the meter always reads cubic feet.
