REMARKS OF THE TOWN ACCOUNTANT.
To the Selectmen of Norwood,
Frank G. Allen, Chairman.
Dear Sir:
I herewith submit the foregoing as the Annual Statement of the Financial Report of Receipts and Payments of the Town of Norwood and the records of Town Meetings together with Vital Statistics reported for the year end- ing December 31, 1915.
Treasurer and Collector. The accounts of Harold W. Gay as Treasurer and Collector of Taxes have been examined and agree with the Account- ant's books and the records as shown. All statements of uncollected accounts have been verified as to detail items. I find that the cash on hand December 31, 1915 of Harold W. Gay as Treasurer and Collector equals the amount as shown in the accountant's statement, cash balance December 31st in the sum of $15,173.21. The investments and transactions of Harold W. Gay as Treasurer of the Sinking Fund have been examined and I find the securities on hand and that the amount of the Sinking Fund December 31, 1915 is $10,118.82.
Municipal Light Department. Throughout the year I have examined each month the accounts of sales and collections and find that Fred S. Barton as Manager has deposited with the Town Treasurer all collections shown in the sales account of the Department.
Cemetery Department. While an effort has been made to complete an examination of the accounts of the Cemetery Department, to date of December 31st the writer has not been furnished with certain records of the Department. It may be stated, however, that assurance is had that these desired records will be furnished in the early part of the coming year and a complete examination and final report will be had on these accounts within the ensuing year.
Respectfully submitted, JAMES E. PENDERGAST, Town Clerk and Accountant.

REPORT OF TOWN MANAGER.
To the Selectmen of Norwood:
Agreeable to our Charter it is my privilege to submit you this report; which has been condensed to the point where further brevity would effect clearness. Believing that originality is not a sin-it may transgress from the conventional town report in arrangement and phraseology. The fi- nancial statements in the Accountant's report are not repeated here; not only to save space, but also because they include the unpaid balances of 1914 and the first quarter of 1915.
Highway Department.
Street conditions are the most apparent to citizens and visitors, and by them a community is judged. The first change was placing the work under the same superintendent with sewer and water, saving over eleven hundred dollars per year and centralizing responsibility; also allowing interchange of men and apparatus among departments as well as holding a force of ex- perienced men throughout the year. The results have outweighed the opposition.
The Stone Crusher next received attention and three steel dump cars on rails were installed to convey rock to the crusher; these operated by the crusher fly wheel without extra power; thus eliminating twelve dollars daily expense for carts besides delivering 40 per cent more rock. An air com- pressor was installed to operate the drills from our electric power instead of steam, saving six dollars per day boiler expense. The average amount of stone hauled by teams was increased from 3800 to 5200 pounds by repairing and erecting the old scales, and moving the old boathouse from Flax Pond over for an office, where a systematic record was kept of every ton crushed, and considerable loss time saved by timing the arrival and departure of all teams. This meant 50 tons additional per eight hours. All blacksmithing was done at the quarry and dynamite was bought by the ton. The quarry breast was straightened and deepened; and a telephone installed to keep the crusher in constant touch with headquarters and every job. These changes resulted in reducing crushed stone from $1.09 to $0.59 pcr ton; this fifty cents on thirteen thousand tons not only paid for changes but saved about $4500 for other work.
