TUBERCULOSIS
The number of reported cases in the year 1921 of Pulmonary Tuber- culosis was greatly in excess of that of any previous year. It is the feeling of the Board, however, that the actual condition as between the years 1920 and 1921 is not borne out by the number of reported cases and that while the 1921 reports would appear to indicate a greater prevalence of this disease that it may be fairly said that an average of the two years represents a more correct statement of the condition. This is apparent when an analysis was made of the actual reported cases.
Of the twenty-nine cases reported, twenty-one were first notices of in- fection. Of this twenty-two, it is very apparent that at least three were cases which have been in progress covering a period of probably two or more years, but were never before reported.
Of these twenty-nine cases six have died within the year. Fourteen of

the twenty-nine were removed to Hospitals or Sanatoriums with four appli- cations for admission pending on December 31st.
The value of the services of the Public Health Nurse have been very clearly demonstrated in the short period of time in which she was em- ployed during the present year, especially along the lines of investigation and follow-up on these cases.
In January of the present year the Trustees of the Norfolk County Hospital announced a reduction in rates. Prior to this time the Norwood Board of Health had sent but few patients to the Norfolk County Hospital for the reason that the charges for Board and Treatment were greatly in excess of the charges at the regular State Sanatoriums. Under the present schedule the Town pays $9.10 per week and is entitled to a subsidy of $5.00 per week from the Commonwealth on the positive sputum cases. Claims have been made for subsidy in all cases where the Town is en- titled to receive it and there is due the Town from the Commonwealth on account of subsidy claims to November 30, 1921 the sum of $115.00.
TYPHOID FEVER
The one case of typhoid fever reported this year was not a resident case, but was a case that was removed to a local hospital from out-of-town for observation.
ANTERIO-POLIOMYELITIS (Infantile Paralysis)
Six cases of Anterior-poliomyelitis were reported in the Town this year, four of which cases resulted fatally.
TUBERCULOSIS CLINIC
The attention of the public is again called to the fact that a tuberculosis clinic is maintained by the Norwood Red Cross Chapter with Dr. Walter A. Griffin in charge at the Norwood Civic Association Building on Thurs- day afternoons at 5 o'clock. A public health nurse is in attendance at each session of the clinic and citizens are urged to avail themselves of the opportunity offered at this clinic.
APPOINTMENTS BY THE BOARD
March 9. 1921 Dr. James J. Mulvehill appointed Inspector of Slaughtering. April 21, 1921 John A. Shannon appointed Inspector of Plumbing for the term of three years.
September 14, 1921 Dr. Timothy J. Curtin appointed in charge of the Public Dental Clinic for the period ending December 31, 1921.
PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE
Following the many conferences with the Norwood District Nursing Committee, representatives of the Norwood Board of Trade and Local Red Cross Organization and representatives of the Tuberculosis Seal Committee, the Board of Health voted that if competent services could be furnished along the lines of Public Health Nursing that the Board of Health would avail itself and make use of services of such a nurse and in October, Miss Mary E. Hagen, Public Health Nurse, graduate of Simmons College; Boston, was engaged by the Norwood District Nursing Com- mittee. Since that time the value of the services of the Public Health Nurse has been clearly demonstrated. All cases of reported infectious diseases are referred to her for investigation and follow-up and a review and investigation of all reported cases of pulmonary tuberculosis since the year 1915 has been made by the Public Health Nurse.
147
COMPLAINTS
On November 2, 1921 hearing was held on the petition of residents of the Town in the neighoborhood of the Coal Yard of the John A. Whitte- more Sons Coal Company petitioning that action be taken to relieve the condition caused by the screening of coal at this location. This hearing was continued to December 9th and by agreement of the interested parties the hearing was continued to an indefinite date in the early summer of 1922 at which time the petitioners will again be granted a hearing for the purpose of showing whether or not the proposed changes which were suggested and agreed upon at these hearings have improved and remedied the conditions complained of.
SEWER CONNECTIONS
In April of the present year the Board of Health voted that investigation be made to determine number of houses in Town on streets with existing sewers and not connected with the sewerage system. Notices were issued to owners and by reason of this action house connections were installed during the past year.
SEWERAGE CONDITIONS
Extensions. The Board strongly recommends and have requested that an appropriate article be inserted in the Annual Town Meeting Warrant for an extension of the sewerage system in Saunders Road, from Winslow Avenue to Walpole Street, in Beacon Street and Cedar Street.
INSPECTION OF MEAT SLAUGHTERING
On December 21, 1921 a complaint was made to the Board of Health of the sale of an unstamped and uninspected carcass. Investigation of this complaint showed that no inspection had been made and that the carcass was apparently unfit for food. Proceedings were brought against the party who made the sale and the finding of guilty and the penalty of a fine of $50.00 was imposed by the District Court of Dedham.

REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF MILK
Board of Health,
Town of Norwood.
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit the following as report of the Inspector of Milk of the Town of Norwood for the year ending December 31, 1921.
Inspections
Samples taken for examination for fats and solid contents and bac- teria count. . 193
81
For fats and solids only .
(of which examinations four samples proved to be below the standard required by the Laws of the Commonwealth).
In addition to the examinations of the foregoing samples, which samples were taken from Milk dealers on the route and stores, there have been brought to the Laboratory by dealers for examination seventy-eight samples of which number eight have proved below the requirements of the Laws of the Commonwealth with respect to fats and solids and represented
148
milk supplied from dairies located out of Town. These cases were referred to the State Inspector and resulted in prosecution of three of these eight cases.
Number of Dairies inspected. 115 one of which dairies was in such condition that it was ordered to dis- continue supplying milk in Norwood. In some cases suggestions and requests have been offered the owners of dairies supplying milk and in practically all of these cases the requests have been complied with.
I am pleased to report that beneficial results have been obtained by the action of the Board in the publication of the Milk Analysis as reported to your Board by the Inspector of Milk.
As Inspector of Slaughtering, it was found necessary in one instance in the past year to condemn the carcass of a hog which had been sold in the Town and which had not be inspected and branded, in accordance with the requirements of the Statutes. This action was followed up by complaint in the District Court against the party who made the sale.
Respectfully submitted, JAMES J. MULVEHILL, D. V. M.

ANNUAL REPORT OF TOWN COUNSEL
January 31st, 1922.
Selectmen of Norwood,
Hon. Frank G. Allen, Chairman, Norwood, Mass.
Dear Sirs :-
I submit in the form of this brief summary my thirteenth annual report as Counsel for the Town covering the year 1921.
As in past years, the work of the law department for the year now re- ported was chiefly of an advisory character.
The matters considered covered many phases of municipal activity and required numerous conferences, attendance at hearings and meetings, and the preparation and submission of opinions and attention to considerable correspondence.
Departments to which advice and opinions were furnished include Select- men, School Committee, Finance Commission, Town Clerk and Account- ant, Board of Assessors, Board of Health, Building Inspector, Town Treasurer and General Manager.
Litigation
For the protection of the Town with respect to the compromise pay- ments by way of damages for the taking in fee by right of eminent domain of lands of Frank A. Fales, Annie Withington and Charles A. Eaton in the Purgatory Brook section for additional water supply purposes, petitions were filed in the Superior Court for Norfolk County by these parties claim- ing damages from the Town for such takings, and immediately agreements for judgment in the sums agreed upon by the Selectmen and these parties and approved by the Town, through the town meeting action, were filed and the payments made on executions issued. Releases were also obtained from these land owners. These suits, therefore, were of a friendly character entirely.
It became necessary in the conduct of this department for the Building Inspector to take court action to enforce the observance of the Building By-Laws of the Town. This action took the form of a bill of complaint in equity filed on July 21st, 1921, in the Superior Court for Norfolk County against William J. Hunt, a Norwood builder, wherein it was prayed that Mr. Hunt be enjoined from further construction work on two buildings on Maple Street in Norwood, which he was engaged in erecting without permits therefor as required by the Building By-Laws, and that he be ordered to take down and remove the existing structures unless they were changed and altered to conform to the requirements of the By-Laws and unless permits were obtained for further work.
The permits originally given had been revoked because of the violations of the By-Laws, but only after notice and opportunity to comply with the By-Laws had been given. Like notice and opportunity were given before the bill of complaint was brought.
A restraining order was granted by the court upon the filing of the bill which enjoined Mr. Hunt to desist and refrain from further construction work on said buildings without permits, as required by law.
A hearing was held on July 28th, 1921, on the question of the issuance of a temporary injunction, and by agreement, an interlocutory decree was then made by the court, by the terms of which the restraining order was con-
154
tinued in full force and effect until the further order of the court. This case is still pending, but it is most probable that necessary changes in the structures involved to comply with the By-Laws will be made and that new permits to allow the buildings to be completed will issue, and that the litigation will be terminated satisfactorily to the Town by a friendly agreement between the parties without further hearings. This depart- ment represents the Building Inspector.
The suit of Allen vs Mahoney, brought in the District Court of Northern Norfolk, in which the Town was summoned and charged as trustee, took on new life through proceedings, to collect from the Town, taken by the attorney for the plaintiff after the town treasurer had made payment to the defendant, of the funds trusteed, by the consent and direction of the plaintiff. This department represented the town treasurer in these proceedings and in the disposition of the matter without further expense to the Town.
The claim of the Town against C. Bowen of Boston, in the sum of $162.38 damages, sustained by the Town through the breaking of an iron light and trolley pole at the corner of Washington Street and Walpole Street, on July 22nd, 1919, by a motor truck owned by said Bowen, was collected in full without suit after considerable negotiation with the Company in which Bowen was insured against liability for damage of this character. This claim came from Manager Hammersley's department and credit is due him for making and preparing the claim and supporting this department in pressing it over a long period to a successful conclusion.
While the amount involved is not large, more than passing reference to the matter is warranted because it furnishes concrete evidence that the interests of the Town are being safeguarded by the General Manager in small things as well as in large.
Several claims were presented to the Town which were investigated by this department and on its advice rejected. They did not involve large amounts.
The Town is named, with other municipalities, as respondent in a formal proceeding brought in the Supreme Judicial Court for Suffolk County by the Commissioner of State Department of Public Health to secure the appointment by that court of three commissioners to apportion one-half of the cost among these municipalities, in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 655, Acts of 1911 and amendments thereto, of the improvements, so-called, in and along the Neponset River. This matter was dwelt upon at some length in the report of this department last year.
Hearings were held which resulted in the appointment by the court of the three commissioners, who presumably, during the year 1922, will hear the parties and make an award which will be submitted to and passed upon by the court.
This department gave considerable attention to this and allied matters, including many conferences with various counsel and department heads, and with the Selectmen and advisers and to a study of the ground and to conferences with land owners as to the position and course of action to be taken by the Town at the hearings before the commissioners.
There is pending, to the knowledge of this department, but one claim against the town, viz .: Anna Maria Sopp, for damages through alleged loss of a water supply on her land due to the action of the town in driving wells on its adjoining land. The Selectmen have, through the General Manager, caused to be driven a new well for Mrs. Sopp on her land and furnished a pump therefor and offered in addition a sum of money to com- pensate her for such damage as she may have sustained, but Mrs. Sopp has demanded a larger sum than the Manager has advised to be reasonable and it is not improbable that court proceedings will be brought in 1922 to determine the matter.
The year closed, therefore, with no suits other than the formal one above
155
mentioned outstanding against the Town and with a record as to litigation which is as satisfactory as that reported last year.
Legislation
Two petitions and bills for legislation, which the needs of the Town required, were presented to the legislature for action. Thanks to the attention of your Chairman, Senator Allen, laws embodying the legislation requested were speedily enacted and approved as follows:
Chapter 33, Acts of 1921.
Entitled "An Act to Authorize the Town of Norwood to Make an Additional Water Loan." The amount which the Town can borrow out- side the statutory limit of indebtedness for additional water supply purposes is $60,000.
