FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
BOARD OF HEALTH
OF THE
TOWN OF NORWOOD
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
To the Voters of the Town of Norwood:
The work of the Boards of Health of this Commonwealth is becoming more extensive with each year.
In addition to the usual number of complaints about nuisances, that require investigation and action on the part of the Board, the extension of the Town sewers have opened up sections where sewer connections were urgently required-the State Board of Health followed all the immigrants from Russia and Italy to our town, and asked that they be located and watched, lest cholera, the contagion of their home ports should find lodgment in our midst: - the State Commission on Tuber- culosis asked for reports upon patients from State Sanitoria, and the State Dairy Inspector made an unexpected visit to our town and its dairies; and then called the attention of this Board to such details as he pronounced unsanitary. Such duties belong to the Health Department of course; but are being required more exactingly with each session of our legis- lature.
There were 82 deaths in Norwood during 1910 excluding still births; or a death rate of 10 to the thousand.
Of the 82 deaths, 20 were less than a year old, and five were 90 or over-one being 94. One half of those who survived the first year of life were 60 years or older at the time of death.
In contagious diseases with the exception of an epidemic of mild cases of measles, the town has been fortunate.

The following table of reported cases for fifteen years is good evidence of this fact.

Many mild cases of contagious diseases are not reported where the services of a physician does not seem necessary, and the disease is spread through lack of precaution.
Parents and householders should realize their responsibility in this matter. A mild case in one, may start a fatal sickness in another. Our State law commands such reports, and a fine of $100 may be the penalty for failure to obey the law.
Fred E. Colburn was appointed inspector of plumbing, and E. J. Winn of Dedham assistant inspector.
Because of the death of Mr. Winn, Nye A. Folsom was ap-

Besides this $1,339.19 the sum of $90 was paid from this year's appropriation for a bill authorized last year; and the Selectmen and Town Council made a settlement of some Boston claims, which have been in dispute several years. The sum of $439.15 was paid, which sum was charged to the appropriation.
The cost to the town for contagious disease expense, was practically $900.00; and $150 special appropriation for Railroad avenue culvert was expended for the purpose in question.
We would recommend that the sum of $1,800 be raised and appropriated for the use of the Board for the coming year.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT
OF THE
TOWN OF NORWOOD
REPORT OF FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Norwood, Mass., Jan. 31, 1911.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Gentlemen:
We herewith present our report of the Fire Department for the year ending Jan. 31, 1911.
Remarks.
An unusually large number of brush, grass, wood and meadow fires during the past year have cost the department nearly $500. The season was so dry that it was, in a good many cases, impossible to thoroughly extinguish them owing to its burning down to the roots in the ground. This was the cause of nearly two-thirds of the expense.
While we do not believe many of these were set intention- ally, practically all were caused by carelessness. A little care on the part of persons going through woods or passing over meadows during the dry seasons of the year would prevent a great many of these fires and save the town considerable expense.
Three horses are kept permanently by the department, and while the total cost for their keep during the year has been $522, the expense for hiring horses for the same amount and class of work would have been much greater with less satisfac- tory results. It should be taken into consideration that these horses have done all the work in watering and oiling the streets.
4
Work of horses, 72 days, 5 hours. Number of loads of water and oil distributed, 1,408.
Expense of keeping horses: Grain, hay and straw, Shoeing, Medical service,
$457 85

11 00
$522 00
The most progressive fire departments in the country are applying automobiles to their service as fast as funds can be procured to buy the apparatus. To-day fire department officials and insurance men, the two classes who have most to do with fires, the one in putting them out and the other in pay- ing for the damage afterwards, are a unit on this question. A lately published report of the National Board of Underwriters states that the fire damage in the United States is $500,000,000 a year, and this same authority further says that this loss could be reduced four-fifths if the apparatus could reach the scene of the fire in one-half the time. While the first cost of automobile apparatus is greater than that of equivalent horse apparatus, it is the cause of great saving in upkeep and maintenance.
There are many points in the outlying districts of Norwood where it would be practically of no avail to start for a fire with the present apparatus. Yet with automobile service fires in any part of the town could be reached in time to bring the best efforts of the department to bear towards subduing them. Time is the most important requisite at the first start of a fire. And we would recommend that a committee be appointed to investigate as to the advisability of purchasing Auto Fire Apparatus, and report at some future town meeting.
Although there has been an unusually low number of box alarms during the past year, the still alarms have caused the department a great deal of expense, owing to the very dry season.
5
Recommendations.
We recommend that the sum of $4,200.00 be raised and appropriated for the support of the department for the ensuing year.
We also recommend that the sum of $350 be raised and appropriated for the support of the fire alarm system for the ensuing year.

FIRE ALARM TELEGRAPH.
Norwood, Jan. 31, 1911.
To the Board of Engineers,
Gentlemen:
The following is the fourteenth annual report of the Town Fire Alarm System. During the past year there has been new elements added to the storage batteries, which places them in good shape for about five years. I have had more trouble the past year than usual, owing to various causes; but not more so than some other towns of this size. I recommend that the sum of $350 be raised and appropriated for the support of the Fire Alarm System the ensuing year.
Yours respectfully,
WARREN C. COTTRELL.
