ANNUAL REPORT OF TOWN COUNSEL
Selectmen of Norwood,
Hon. Frank G. Allen, Chairman.
Norwood, Mass.
Dear Sirs :-
I submit in the form of this brief summary my fourteenth annual report as Counsel for the Town covering the year 1922.
The attention of my department was directed chiefly to matters as to which service of an advisory character was required.
The activities included numerous conferences, preparation of several opinions and many papers, consideration of various questions, attendance at hearings and attention to a considerable amount of correspondence.
Departments to which advice and opinions were furnished included the following :- Selectmen, School Committee, Planning Board, Board of Health, Board of Assessors, Town Clerk and Accountant, General Manager, Building Inspector, Sealer of Weights and Measures and New Balch School Addition Committee.
LITIGATION
Douglas v. Hunt .- This was a suit in Equity brought in 1921 which sought to restrain the respondent from further violations of the building by-law and to compel changes in existing structures to make them conform to the by-law requirements. The report of this department for the year 1921 detailed the proceedings in this matter during that year and indicated that it was most probable that the case would be disposed of by friendly agreement without further hearings. The disposition of the case which was expected has been brought about. All the requirements of the by-law with respect to both changes in the structures as then existing and to further work in completion of the buildings having been complied with in a manner satisfactory to the building inspector, no further action by the court was required and on August 30, 1922 at the request of the parties a final decree was entered by the court dismissing the bill without prejudice and without costs to either party with a recital in the decree of the reasons for this disposition as above indicated.
Anna M. Sopp Claim .- This matter as pending at the beginning of the year and its character and status was explained in the report of last year. Briefly stated the claim was one for damages through alleged loss of water supply in her land due to the action of the Town in driving wells on its adjoining land. Upon further consideration of the inatter and fol- lowing several conferences with her counsel by this department and by the General Manager, the Selectmen, on the recommendation of the General
207
Manager, authorized a settlement by the payment of the sum of $800 which was the amount requested. The settlement was made on April 26, 1922 and a general release running to the Town and drafted by me was executed by Mr. and Mrs. Sopp and delivered to the General Manager.
Neponset River Improvement Expense Apportionment .- The Board of Commissioners appointed by the Supreme Judicial Court in 1921 to ap- portion one-half the cost of the improvement so-called in and along the Neponset River, in' accordance with the requirements of Chapter 655 Acts of 1911, held certain preliminary hearings and took a view, general in character, of the territory involved in which activities this department participated. Hearings at which evidence will be presented have been assigned to begin March 19, 1923 and it is probable that the Commissioners will make their findings and report during that year. A study of the va- rious phases of the matter has been made and work of a preparatory char- acter has been done that the case for Norwood may be fully presented at these hearings-whether viewed from the standpoint of alleged health and land benefits or otherwise. It is expected that many if not all of the owners of meadow land in the vicinity of the river and its Norwood tribu- taries will appear at these hearings to aid in presenting the Norwood situ- ation as it existed before the work was done and as it has existed since.
No claims and no suits against the Town other than the Neponset River Expense Apportionment were pending at the close of the year within the knowledge of this department. The record as to litigation continues therefore to be most favorable and the situation as indicated is as satis- factory as could be expected.
GENERAL
Washington Street Widening .- The Selectmen by appropriate action taken November 28, 1922 made an alteration of Washington Street by widening to a depth of 4.75 feet on the easterly side from a point in the southerly line of a proposed extension of Cottage Street for a distance southerly of about 242.29 feet. This action was reported to the Town at a Special Meeting held on December 19, 1922 and the layout was accepted. Earlier in the year consideration was given to the establishment of a build- ing line in the same section but an alteration by widening was deemed the preferable course. A building situation which was in prospect directed attention to the desirability of action which would make and preserve a line for building purposes uniform with that which obtained on the Folan property. Following the action of the Town Meeting an order of taking for highway purposes of the land involved was made by the Selectmen on December 26, 1922 and damages were awarded, and a certified copy of the order was filed at the Registry of Deeds in Dedham, together with a copy of the plan showing the widening; a descriptive statement was also filed
208
in the Norfolk Registry of the Land Court as to registered land taken and notice was given to the owners of property so taken in the manner indi- cated by the laws governing such matters. The owners were given and allowed until the first day of May A. D. 1923 to remove all structures on the land and affixed thereto. Damages were awarded as follows: James M. Folan nothing, Myer Dana, $300 and Elihu G. Loomis, Trustee, $5359. The parties have the right to seek a revision of the awards so made by a jury through trial in the Superior Court.
This department was called upon to advise as to. the many questions involved; to attend the hearings given; to confer with the Selectmen. other officials and with experts as well as with the land owners and counsel; to prepare the layout and the several votes covering action taken, also the order of taking, notices and other papers; to make a search of title and to investigate and report as to law points raised, all of which were in aid of the proper and orderly cause of action by the Selectmen and the Town in dealing with an important matter requiring much detail of a technical character. It was the endeavor of the Selectmen and this de- partment to deal fairly with the owners concerned while safeguarding the interests of the Town.
Zoning By-Law .- The Planning Board submitted for advice as to certain matters stated and for approval as to form and legal sufficiency a draft of a zoning by-law for the Town which was very comprehensive in character.
After a study covering a considerable period and an investigation of by-laws and ordinances cnacted and under consideration in other com- munities and after various conferences with the Secretary of the Planning Board, Dr. Cleveland for the Board of Trade Committee, the Selectmen and the Attorney General's department, this department furnished an opinion on the questions presented and submitted a revised draft of the by-laws with recommendations which met with the acceptance of the Planning Board and as to which further action is to accord as this de- partment has been informed.
The zoning of the Town through the program to be submitted by the Planning Board in its original or in some modified form or through some other method presents for the consideration and decision of the citizens during the year 1923 one of the most important and far-reaching problems with which a community looking ahead to safeguard and control its future character, growth, activities and attractiveness could be concerned. It is to be hoped that a thorough study of the matter in all its phases will be made by the citizens that an intelligent and wise course of action may be taken.
Norfolk and Bristol Street Railway Pole Matter .- Certain poles located on Walpole Street between Guild Street and Davis Avenue were erected and maintained under an agreement dated November 12, 1907 between
209
the Norfolk and Bristol Street Railway Comapny, the New England Tele- phone and Telegraph Company and the Town of Norwood with each party possessing a one-third interest. By the terms of the agreement if either party desired to discontinue the use of any pole in the line it shall give to the other parties written notice of its intention so to do and shall within, three months remove its wires and fixtures and transfer all its interest in the pole to the other parties and shall thereupon be paid its proportion of the then value of the pole and shall be released from further liability under the agreement as to such pole. The successors in title to the in- terests of the Norfolk and Bristol Street Railway Company in the line of poles above mentioned gave on June 1, 1922 the written notice as required and offered to transfer their interest and requested payment for the same. After investigation and an appraisal of the value of the poles was had and upon careful consideration of the matter following conferences of all the parties interested and with the advice of this department, the Selectmen authorized the purchase of the interest offered for the sum of $147 for the joint benefit of the Town and the Telephone Company, but sub- ject to a credit of $114 representing the approximate cost of work done on the poles principally by the Town.
This settlement at the time it was proposed in September of 1922 ap- peared to be acceptable to all parties, but the matter has not as yet been concluded because of collateral matters which are still under discussion.
Bird and Son, Inc .- Industrial Railroad .- The laws of the Com- monwealth forbid the construction by a corporation of a railroad for private use in the transportation of freight across or upon a public way in a Town without the consent of the Selectmen, nor except in a place and manner approved by them. If the Selectmen consent the law further provides that they shall from time to time make such regulations relative to motive power, rate of specd, and time and manner of using the railroad over and upon such way as in their judgment the public safety and con- venience require.
Upon the application of Bird and Son, Inc., to construct and main- tain and operate such a railroad across Morse Street, the Selectmen after due consideration gave their consent by formal action and made suitable regulations as required by the provisions of law above recited. They also required and obtained from this corporation an agreement of indemnity of the Town. This department advised upon this matter and prepared the necessary papers.
MISCELLANEOUS
A by-law providing for the licensing of retail vendors of soft drinks was drafted by this department and adopted by the Town, and approved by the Department of the Attorney General and is now in force.
A by-law providing for the numbering of buildings was prepared by the
210
General Manager and revised by this department and adopted by the Town and approved by the Department of the Attorney General and is now in force.
· A by-law regulating the location and use of bill-boards was prepared by the General Manager and has been revised and approved by this depart- ment, but has not been submitted to the Town for adoption at the suggestion of departments of the State interested in the subject matter and having in view a uniformity of action by communities throughout the Commonwealth. It is expected such a by-law will be presented for adoption during the year 1923.
The courtesy and cooperation of other departments and in particular the valuable assistance of Clerk Pendergast are gratefully acknowledged
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES A. HALLORAN, Town Counsel.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE MORRILL MEMORIAL LIBRARY
To the Citizens of Norwood:
The use of the Library continues to increase as is shown by the circu- lation for the past year, which amounted to 64,748 volumes. This includes the circulation of the deposit at the Balch School. During the year a number of books were purchased, especially for the High School and are kept there on deposit for the use of the pupils.
The Children's Room has without question proved the wisdom of its installation. There are 1391 children below the eighth grade whose names are now registered in this room. This is a net increase of 400 names for the year.
The Trustees feel that the citizens of the Town have been fortunate in being the recipients of gifts to the Library of a beautiful clock for the Children's Room and several pictures from Hon. Francis O. Winslow. The outward appearance of the building has also been greatly improved by the planting of shrubs and vines through the kindness of Miss Maude A. Shattuck.
The beginning of a musical collection has been made for the use of borrowers, which the trustees hope will be a valuable department of the Library in years to come. More especially for the use of the schools, collections of pictures from magazines and papers have been made by the attendants and these have been found of interest by a number of the teachers.
The celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the incorporation of the Town has increased the interest in things historical connected with the Town and it is hoped that a good historical collection of pictures, papers, and other records may be established at the Library to which citizens of the Town are invited to make contributions or loans.
For the preservation of the official souvenir program and photographs of the pageant in connection with the semi-centennial celebration of the Town the trustees propose to bind all data including papers of historical interest in a volume to be illustrated with photographic reproductions of old buildings and landmarks of which a large collection has already been lent for the purpose by several of our townspeople.
For a detailed statistical report the trustees would suggest a careful reading of the report of the Librarian appended herewith.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM T. WHEDON, Chairman, WALTER BLAIR, Secretary, MAUDE A. SHATTUCK, WILLARD W. EVERETT, GRACE M. EVERETT, M. AGNES MAHONEY,

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF FIRE ENGINEERS
February 27, 1923.
The Board of Selectmen,
Hon. Frank G. Allen, Chairman, Norwood, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen:
We submit herewith the report of the Board of Fire Enginecrs for 1922.
There were 106 alarms recorded in the year as against 130 the preceding year, classified as follows:
Buildings 32
Brush and Grass 54
Automobiles 5
False Alarms 15
The piece of apparatus for brush and grass fires for which an appropria- tion was made last year was provided, a Reo chassis being purchased at a cost of $1400.00. The body of old hose wagon No. 2 was rebuilt and fitted to the chassis and painted. A chemical tank and water tank were added to the equipment so that in reality we have the combination chemi- cal and hose wagon to use in case of necessity. The total cost to the Town of this piece of apparatus was $2000.00. From prices secured from manu- facturers of fire apparatus, had it been purchased from them, it would have cost $3000.00.
The following is a statement of fire losses for the year:

But for the loss of Mr. Prescott's barn on Neponset Strect, the department would have made a most excellent showing. Had water been available, the main barn could easily have been saved.
The general condition of the department is very satisfactory, and we have reason to feel that the department is second to none of its size.
Respectfully submitted, J. FRED BOYDEN, Chief, FRANK W. TALBOT, Deputy, W. P. HAMMERSLEY,
Board of Fire Engineers.
