Inasmuch as a considerable portion of the lands in the Neponset Valley is located in the Town of Norwood, it is, therefore, in the interest of the Town and its citizens to take an active interest in the proceedings and work of this commission in order that the Town of Norwood may not be burdened with more than its just share of the cost of this work.

Epidemic influenza estimated 500 cases.
The care and treatment of tuberculosis is a vexatious problem. Many cases for which hospital treatment is necessary and can be provided refuse to accept treatment or having begun it discontinue it against the advice of physicians and against the wishes of the Health Board. That many cases result in death and that many new cases are due to obstinacy of such patients cannot be doubted. The Board of Health has no arbitrary con- trol over them. The tuberculosis clinics formerly conducted at the Nor- wood Hospital are now managed by the Norwood Chapter of the Red Cross. The thanks of the citizens of the Town should be extended to this organization for its work, which is in charge of Dr. Griffin, the well-known specialist.
A large number of scarlet fever cases has been reported during the months of November and December. All cases reported have been very light and it is believed that its spread is due to the fact that some undis- covered cases have infected others in the schools. The School Physicians and School Nurses are keeping a close watch on school children in order to detect any new cases of the disease. Other towns and cities are expe- riencing a similar condition.
Attention is called to the law requiring physicians and householders to report contagious diseases to this Board. During the year one case

of infantile paralysis was reported on a doctor's certificate for burial · This case had not been formerly reported. The doctor signing the certi- ficate was brought into Court charged with violation of the Statute. This action was taken after advice from the State Department of Health, but the doctor was acquitted.
There has been some cases of diphtheria (14).
Where contagious disease is found, a general survey of sanitary condi- tions is made and in a number of instances the Health Board ordered very radical improvements, and in one case closed a house where necessary im- provements were not made.
Believing that the large number of swine kept within the Town were a nuisance, a regulation restricting the keeping of swine was adopted. Three cases were successfully prosecuted under this regulation.
All complaints have been investigated and many nuisances abated. Many sewer connections that ought to be made are delayed because of lack of help in the Public Works Department. Sewer extensions should be made particularly on Marion Avenue, Hill Street, Adams Street and vicinity.
Regulations governing the production, care and sale of milk have been adopted, and Dr. James Mulvehill appointed Inspector of Milk, Bacteri- ologist and Agent of the Board. His report, which is printed herewith, shows that on the whole the quality of milk sold in Norwood is good, steps being taken to improve that which has been found to be below the standard. The apparatus necessary for milk inspection has been purchased and installed in the laboratory of the former High School.
New Health Regulations are nearly completed and ready for adoption, the old regulations no longer answering the needs of the Town of Nor- wood. We hope to have them in printed form for distribution.
We extend our sincere thanks to Messrs. Hayden and Breen of the Premier Theatre who gave us, without charge, the use of the Theatre for the showing of the film "Fit to Fight," which was exhibited at the request of the State and Federal Health Departments as part of a campaign against venereal diseases; to the local Chapter of the Red Cross for its work in connection with Tuberculosis; to Judge Halloran, Town Counsel, for advice and assistance, and to all who in any way assisted the Board in its work during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
MARTIN F. LYDON, Chairman, JOHN A. SHANNON, JOSEPH J. HAGERTY, M. D.
To the Board of Health,
Norwood, Mass.
Gentlemen:
As Inspector of Milk I submit the following report:
Examinations of milk were begun on September 23rd on which date the Laboratory Equipment was received complete from the manufacturers. This equipment was first installed at the Norwood Hospital, but on ac- count of lack of room and for the reason that the vibrations of the Centri- fuge Machine were apt to cause nuisance to patients at the Hospital, ar- rangements were made with the School Committee to remove this equip- ment to the Beacon School Building where it is now installed, and since that date one hundred forty specimens have been examined for bacteria, fats and solids. Thirty examinations have been made for fats and solids alone. Of the first classification but one specimen showed a bacteria count above the five hundred thousand per cubic centimeter, and after an
151
inquiry into the conditions of the dairy where this milk was produced, I am satisfied that the conditions were unusual as all previous and subse- quent specimens received from this dairy showed well within the mark of bacteria count. Of the total examinations for fats and solids the results were satisfactory in all but three cases. The attention of the producers and dealers in these cases was called to the condition with the result that to date of present writing all of the milk now being distributed within the Town is well above the standard of fat and solid contents and on bacteria count.
I have visited and inspected dairies in the Towns of Walpole, Sharon, Foxboro, Millis, Westwood and Canton, in which milk is produced for dis- tribution in the Town of Norwood. In some cases conditions have been found which required attention and in these cases, I am pleased to say, the owners showed a desire to cooperate with the Inspector in the better- ment of these conditions.
Approximately one-half of the dairies have been scored under the regu- lation score card. The work of scoring the remainder will be completed in the near future.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES J. MULVEHILL, Inspector of Milk, Town of Norwood.

Selectmen of Norwood, Mass.
Hon. F. G. Allen, Chairman.
Dear Sirs:
I submit in the form of this brief summary the eleventh annual report of my department, covering the year 1919.
As in former years the major part of the service which this department rendered was of an advisory character, embracing nearly as wide a range of matters as the municipal activities of a town of the size and character of Norwood developed. This service involved numerous conferences with officials and others interested and the preparation of many letters and a number of opinions and other papers and the attendance at many meetings.
Hearings
Hearings were attended which were held with reference to the following briefly described matters:
Bay State Street Railway Company case in the U. S. District Court.
Gas and Electric Light Commission on the petition of Norwood gas consumers as to rates and service.
Municipal Finance Committee of the Massachusetts Legislature on the Norwood Hospital appropriation bill.
Taxation Committee of the Massachusetts Legislature on legislation relative to the distribution of the income tax.
Street Railways Committee of the Massachusetts Legislature on legis- lation requested by the Trustees of the Massachusetts Eastern Street Railway Company.
Public Service Commission on increase in suburban fares on steam rail- roads entering Boston.
Trustees of Massachusetts Eastern Street Railway Company on fare zones.
Public Service Commission on Norfolk and Bristol Street Railway Com- pany situation and action.
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court on constitutionality of income tax distribution legislation.
Street Railway Committee of Massachusetts Legislature (special ses- sion) on recess committee's report as to Eastern Massachusetts Street Railway Company legislation, etc.
Litigation
During the year but one suit was brought against the town, i. e., an action by Coleman Kane for damages to property, resulting from the con- struction and use of a main and lateral drain through his property on Nahatan Street. This case was settled by the agreement of the parties on a basis satisfactory to them and involved on the part of the Town, the payment of a small sum to cover expenses and the laying of additional pipe in that part of the lateral drain which had been open.
The cases of the Finnish Workingmen's Association Into, relating to taxes paid and which were described in earlier reports, are still pending in the Superior Court with no developments during the year.
Certain claims were presented, investigated and rejected and no suits followed.
156
Action taken on certain tax claims resulted in payment being made in two cases and an abatement in the third case.
The situation as regards litigation is and has been a most favorable one for the Town and it is with much. satisfaction that this department reports no litigation pending against the Town which involves any sub- stantial sum or issue of consequence.
The expense arising from claims and litigation has therefore been kept, as in the past, at almost a nominal figure.
Legislation
Legislation proposed and enacted at the State House during 1919, which would be of concern to Norwood, was considered and followed and such action was taken as with your approval and that of others interested, seemed appropriate and permissible. The presence in the House of Repre- sentatives of your chairman was a sufficient guarantee that Norwood would be treated fairly and not suffer from adverse legislation and the duty of my department was most favorably affected by this consideration.
In passing it is proper to refer also to the helpful interest and activity of Francis J. Foley as chairman of the Finance Commission with respect to the legislation relating to the distribution of the State income tax with which Norwood in common with other municipalities in the State was concerned.
Miscellaneous
Other matters which were of particular importance and as to which considerable time and effort were given may deserve passing mention as indicating that the officials of the Town were active in promoting its wel- fare and that of its citizens as such, are the following:
(1) Suspension of Operation of the Norfolk and Bristol Street Railway Company and action.
(2) Jitney situation and regulation with especial reference to Walpole, Foxboro and Mansfield, and involving various meetings with the officials of these communities for cooperative solution and action.
(3) Special motor vehicle regulations and general traffic regulations.
(4) Heaton Avenue drain extension layout and taking.
(5) Neponset River Improvement situation as affecting the determi- nation of Norwood's portion of the expense thereof.
(6) Town meeting warrants and action under articles in same.
Accompanying this report is a detailed statement of all services rendered by the department during the year.
The kindness and consideration extended by you and all other officials of the Town with which this department had dealings during the year are gratefully acknowledged. Town Clerk and Accountant Pendergast was particularly helpful at all times.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES A. HALLORAN, Town Counsel.

REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMISSION, 1919
1
The fifth annual election under the New Charter was held in January, 1919, at which time Mr. Frank A. Fales was reelected for a second term of three years, and Mr. Arthur W. Coolidge was elected for two years, succeeding Mr. Herbert H. Miller, who resigned after faithfully and con- scientiously serving the Town for a period of four years.
It is with a great deal of pleasure we record at this time the valuable work done by Mr. Miller in helping to plan out the broad policies and in per- fecting the systematic methods of procedure under which this Commission has carried on its work. The Town owes a debt of gratitude to Mr. Miller which we trust will long be remembered.
At the first meeting of the Board following the annual Town Meeting, Mr. Francis J. Foley was elected chairman for the fourth year, and Mr. Arthur W. Coolidge, clerk. During the year the usual number of meetings have been held. The various Town warrants have been given careful attention by the Commission and all its recommendations have been adopted without changes by the Town Meetings called for the purpose.
This Commission has appeared before numerous meetings held by the Taxation Committee of the Legislature the past year in reference to Senate Bill No. 313, which finally became law and determined permanently the method of distributing to Cities and Towns the money collected by the Commonwealth from the tax on intangible personal property. Of the three plans that were considered by the Taxation Committee, two of these plans were presented by the Norwood Finance Commission, and we are pleased to report that one of our plans was adopted and later the Su- preme Court, in passing upon the same, declared it to be Constitutional. The transition from the old to the new method of distributing this tax is accomplished gradually over a period of ten years. We feel quite sure that in the years to come Norwood and all other industrial centers will benefit materially by this law.
Norwood has now successfully completed five years under the New Town Charter and was one of the very first towns in the country to present to its Citizens, through the Finance Commission, a carefully planned yearly budget, based on expert knowledge of requirements of the different departments. The entire country is now waking up to the fact that a scientific budget is the proper one, and everywhere National, State and Municipal Governments are being urged to adopt it.
During the past year costs of all materials and substantial increases in the salaries of all Town employees make, of course, for higher taxes. In the year to come, still greater care and planning is necessary in the making of appropriations in order not to make the tax burden too heavy, as there is quite a possibility that the next few years will be critical ones for all tax payers.
It might be mentioned at this time that the recommendations offered covering various articles contained in the Annual and Special Town Meet- ing Warrants, this Commission estimated the probable amount that would be necessary to raise by taxation in 1919 would be $254,530.54 and that this would produce a tax rate of about $15.97 per thousand.
When the Assessors finished their work and prepared the tax rate the following September, and in the meantime had received definite figures
158
from the State and County as to its requirements for taxes and certain receipts due the Town, it was found that the exact amount necessary to raise by taxation was $254,827.02, or within $296.48 of the amount this Commission estimated the previous March, and the final tax rate was $16.00 against $15.97 we estimated.
We extend our sincere appreciation to the various Town Officials, all of whom have cheerfully cooperated with this Commission at all times.
We submit a statement, showing the apportionment of the tax rate covering the past four years, which we trust every Citizen will examine.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANCIS J. FOLEY, Chairman, FRANK A. FALES, ARTHUR W. COOLIDGE, Clerk.
