Remarks.
The forty-first report of the Town of Norwood is hereby presented showing in detail the expenditures of all moneys for which the Selectmen are responsible.
Streets and Highways.
The unusual open winter has left our streets in bad condition and although a much larger sum of money was expended last year it will still be necessary to raise an equal amount the pres- ent year in order that more of our streets be properly rebuilt to stand the test of our changing seasons. The last payment on our steam roller was paid this year, and the money invested in this machine has proved the wisdom of the town in making the purchase. We need some device for applying oil to our streets and would recommend that the town procure such a device and attach it to our watering cart so that the oil may be applied under pressure giving much better results. Our stone crusher is in need of extensive repairs and it would seem wise to remove that plant to the ledge on Prospect street and equip with electricity. We would recommend that the lot of land on the corner of Myrtle and Prospect streets be purchased by the town for the permanent establishment of the stone crusher.
New Highways.
On the thirty-first day of December the County Commis- sioners ordered that the new highway between High and Ellis bridges be built and it now becomes necessary for the town to make some provision for the completion of the work. The Selectmen believe this to be one of the greatest improvements in the history of the town and our citizens can take just pride in the fact that the danger at these points will then be eliminated.
Police Department.
This department has done excellent work the past year but they are still hampered for want of suitable quarters but arrange-
178
ments are under way whereby we expect to have headquarters which will enable them to give more efficient service and quarters more in keeping with the need of our growing community. The force is too small to handle the business of the town and more officers are needed. The report of the Chief gives a detailed account of the work of the department.
Town Counsel.
The work which the town is exacting of its legal department is constantly increasing and the time and energy which the Town Counsel is called upon to give is beyond the knowledge of the average citizen. That the Town has been ably represented by its legal adviser everybody admits, and the faithful and con- scientious services of James A. Halloran, Esq., the Selectmen gratefully acknowledge.
Fire Department.
This department has gone through another year without having any serious fires to handle. The most expensive are those which occur during the summer months when brush fires are so frequent. It would seem that the time is not far distant when an auto chemical would be needed in order to give quick service to the outlying districts which are not fully protected at the present time. The engineer will probably bring this to the attention of the voters at the proper time.
Care of the Poor.
It is hard to estimate the needs of this department but the Selectmen have tried to care for the needy and see that no actual suffering exists. We have had some trying cases this year but have tried to exercise our best judgment and our account shows a substantial balance.
Town Accountant.
Mr. James E. Pendergast has served the town another year in the same acceptable manner. By his devotion to duty he
179
has become almost invaluable to every department of the town and his services are thoroughly appreciated by every Board.
Town Dump.
The Selectmen would call attention to the fact that Norwood has a town dump and would advise all our citizens to use it. We cannot condemn too strongly those people who disregard the rights of others by throwing their rubbish by the side of the streets. Legal steps will have to be taken to enforce our Town by-laws.
Street Signs.
A great many new street signs have been put in place this year and our town is pretty well covered by street signs of a very attractive appearance. Your Selectmen have preambu- lated the lines between the town of Walpole and Norwood and Sharon and Norwood and found the boundary all in place and properly marked.
The activities of the Board of Selectmen have been varied and numerous. Careful consideration has been given to all matters and the interests of our citizens carefully guarded.
Our estimates show an increase this year of about $17,000, and the amount is divided up as follows: $3,000, increase for schools; $600 for fire department; $1,200 for police department ; $200, moth department and $6,300 for Town notes. All other departments show a slight increase excepting the Support of the Poor which is decreased $500. The Evening Schools and the small police force are responsible for the increased appropria- tions in these departments.

Remarks.
The report of your Board of Assessors for the year ending January 31, 1913, has been enlarged by adding some statistics which will undoubtedly be of considerable interest.
By comparing this year's report with that of a year ago it will be seen that not only was the Town grant much larger but the State and County taxes also show an increase over the previous year.
There has, of course, been no change in the method of assess- ment.
In the opinion of the Board, our real estate is now assessed at practically full value, and any inequalities are being recti-
-
186
fied as fast as possible. It will be seen that the value of our personal property was about $200,000, less this last year than the previous period, while our real estate valuations showed an increase of about $500,000, leaving a net increase in valuation of only about $300,000. It is the opinion of the Board that we cannot expect to find any larger increase in the coming year than last year. Under these conditions we cannot expect to materi- ally increase the amount of our tax levy without increasing our tax rate. This is a question for the town itself to determine, and it merely seemed the duty of the Board to once more call attention to the fact that in the future any substantial increase in the amount of the tax levy is bound to show itself in the tax rate of the town. It was necessary last year to increase the tax rate 50 cents a thousand over the rate of the previous year, and the only reason that the rate was not larger was because the town had a considerable surplus which could be applied to this past year's expenses.
The Board does not think it is at all necessary to curtail any expenses consistent with the proper management of the town, as it feels confident that the town can go ahead and have all the improvements necessary, and still keep its tax rate within proper bounds. It seems, however, not only advisable but essential that the town should not endeavor to acquire all de- sirable improvements at once as this would surely mean a con- siderably higher tax rate, and such a tax rate would undoubtedly work to the detriment of the town's growth and development.
The Board is pleased to report that this last year its office arrangement has been greatly improved, and that it has been possible to handle its work to much better advantage than formerly.
The Assessors' maps of the town are being made as fast as it is possible for our Town Engineer to get them out. There are some eight hundred odd dollars of the money appropriated for this purpose still unexpended. This will be hardly enough to
187
carry on this work throughout the year, and the Board is asking for an additional $800 for this purpose.
The Board has also been obliged to ask for an additional $150 for its running expenses during the coming year, the major portion of which will have to be used for making a duplicate set of valuation books for the State, this being required every three years.
The Assessors hereby call the attention of the citizens of the town to the fact that statements of personal property must be filed with the Board within the time required by law, or else such statements are subject to a 50 per cent doomage, in accordance with the statute covering the same. The Assessors wish that a larger number of our citizens would avail themselves of the privi- lege of making these statements.
Respectfully submitted, FRANK G. ALLEN, AARON L. GOODWIN, GUIDO A. STUNTZNER.
