REPORT OF THE BOARD OF ASSESSORS
To the Citizens of Norwood:
The Board of Assessors herewith submit their annual report together with statement of valuations as determining the tax levy for the year 1924.
Organization
Theodore E. Gavin was reappointed by the Selectmen as Assessor for the term of three years beginning April 1, 1924; his appointment was ap- proved by Henry M. Long, Commissioner of Corporations and Taxation. The present Board organized as follows:
Patrick J. Lydon as Chairman and James E. Pendergast as Clerk.
Assistant Assessors
Under authority of the vote of Town Meeting the Board of Assessors appointed George L. Banks, James T. Connolly, Patrick J. Curran, Albert Rafuse, Edmund F. Sullivan, Frank S. Mahoney, Nicholas P. Curran, Emery V. Forrest, John Stapleton, Joseph Murphy, John J. Tobin and Martin Foley as assistant assessors for the period of thirty days from April 1st or such shorter period as the Board of Assessors may determine.
The duties of the Assistant Assessors were:
To secure in their respective districts all necessary information for the Assessors in making lists of persons liable to be assessed for poll taxes in such districts, and
In the securing of the information required under Section 4 of Chapter 51, General Laws, and
To make return of the amount of such personal property in the Districts as may be assigned them, and
To secure information with respect to certain children below the school age and also the number of illiterate persons in their respective districts.
The information secured with respect to children below the school age and the number of illiterate persons in the Town was secured for the use of the School Committee. The duty of securing this information is not placed by law upon the Board of Assessors, but it was the opinion of the Board that this work could properly be done in connection with other duties of the Assistant Assessors and at a saving in cost to the Town.
Tax Rate for the Year 1924
The table of comparison of tax requirements submitted herewith ex- hibits the differences as to the years 1923 and 1924. It will be seen that
179
the appropriations by taxation exceeded by approximately $73,000.00 the amount raised in 1923. For similar purposes decrease is noted in the State Tax about $6,900 and some slight increases in estimated revenue.
The rate of $26.70 per thousand was determined by the Board of As- sessors to meet the liabilities of the Town for the year 1924.
Examination of the Accountant's report of revenues indicates that a conservative figure was set up by the Board of Assessors as the estimated receipts available.
Property Values
It is the intention of the Board of Assessors to revise certain of the property values with respect to real estate during the coming year 1925, it being apparent that many of the values used are in need of revision.
The Board of Assessors wish again to bring to the attention of the Citizens of the Town who may be unfamiliar with the accommodations at the Town Office Building, the lack of adequate and convenient quarters and it is hopcd that within the near future a definite step will be taken to improve the present condition.
Respectfully submitted,
PATRICK J. LYDON, KENNETH MCKENZIE, THEODORE E. GAVIN.

Diphtheria
It will be seen from the foregoing table that the reported cases of diph- theria over the past three years are fairly uniform. It is hoped that as
113
11
183
time progresses the reported infections will decrease as we have reasonable cause to expect that this condition will follow the progress of the Schick Test and the Toxin-Antitoxin Treatment.
Scarlet Fever
Beginning with the opening of the schools in September an epidemic of scarlet fever began, and in the investigation of the early reported cases it would appear that the epidemic condition prevailed prior to the opening of the schools in a mild and unrecognized form. This epidemic first ap- peared in serious form as to numbers in the section of the Town where housing conditions are such that three or more families occupy the same house. It was the opinion of the Board of Health that the spread of this infection could best be prevented by removing these cases to the Isolation Hospital. This practice was followed up to the early part of December at which time there had been hospitalized somc seventy cases. At this time the policy was adopted of removing only such cases as in the opinion of the Board of Health required Institutional Treatment and the existence of · which, investigations constituted a serious menace to the health of the immediate neighborhood.
It is apparent from a study of the known infections that the probable source of infection is personal contact with existing and probably unrecog- nized cases. The question of the possibility of milk or other common food being the source of infection has been disproved with regard to all reported cases. ,
Tuberculosis
Reported tuberculosis cases are in excess of those for the year 1923 but not equal to the reported cases of the year 1920. The opportunities of the Tuberculosis Clinic maintained by the Board of Health at the Norwood Civic Association Building each Thursday afternoon at 5 o'clock are again brought to the attention of the inhabitants of the Town.
Dental and Eye Clinic
Report of the physicians in charge of these clinics are submitted herewith together with the report of the Milk Inspector.
The Board of Health desire to acknowledge its appreciation of the services and assistance rendered by the Public Health Nurses and District Nurses, also the cooperation of the School Nurses and School Physicians.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM P. NICKERSON, Chairman, JOHN A. SHANNON, JOSEPH J. HAGERTY, M.D.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF MILK
To the Board of Health of Norwood:
Norwood, Mass.
March 11, 1925.
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit my report for the year ending December 31, 1924:
Fifty-one dairies supplying milk to Norwood were examined and without exception found to be satisfactory.
Four samples from dairies supplying milk to dealers were found to be under standard. One of the dairies was discontinued by the dealer; the other three brought their milk up to the standard.
All samples taken from dealers have been found to be satisfactory.
One hundred sixty-nine samples of milk were examined for fat and solid content and for bacteria count.
One hundred three samples of milk were examined for fat and solid content alone.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES J. MULVEHILL, Inspector of Milk.
186
REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS
To the Board of Selectmen,
Gentlemen:
I submit my report as Cattle Inspector for the year 1924.
I have just finished my inspection, have visited 77 premises, many of them several times. During the past year three cases of Tuberculosis have been reported, the animals killed and the stables disinfected.
Number of mulch cows 331, young cattle 36, bulls 11, swine 28, sheep 7, goats 35, poultry 1500. All cattle were found to be healthy and most stables in a sanitary condition.
One case of poultry disease was found, the premises posted, quarantined and notice sent to the Department of Conservation.
It would be wise for poultry owners to watch their flocks closely as this is a fatal disease and very little is known about it as yet.
Respectfully,
ALBERT FALES,
Inspector of Animals.

REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMISSION
At the annual Town Meeting held on January 19, 1925, Mr. Frank A. Fales was re-elected a member of the Finance Commission for the ensuing three years.
The Finance Commission for the year 1925 was organized with Mr. Charles J. Prescott, Chairman, Mr. Fred R. Ellis, Secretary.
During the past year the Commission has continued to sit almost weekly throughout the whole year and has not been confined purely to annual budget meetings between the annual Town Meeting in January and the adjourned Town Meeting in March. This board now is established on the basis of meeting every Friday evening throughout the year.
The growth of the town in its various activities has increased the work of the various boards and it is becoming evident that several of the boards require an executive secretary at some small annual compensation to carry the detail work. Unless this is put into execution there will be a tendency for the boards to be so overloaded that public spirited citizens will not be willing to serve because of the work being so irksome and requiring so much time. We positively require our leading citizens on the various boards to direct the policies but not to do as much personal detail work. Any movement along this line at an expense of $100 to $200 for the boards to secure the right executive secretary might tend to more efficient and better service.
This Commission continues the policy of being not purely a criticising board but a board to whom the various departments can come for assist- ance on their financial programs, not only for the present but for the years to come.
The Finance Commission again urges a "Pay As We Go" program. We hope we can adopt this as a definite basis and that we will raise by annual tax levy entire expenditures except for new buildings, such as school- houses or town hall. To show our progress along this line the following figures are given of the amount that was put into our annual budget for extraordinary items and construction items, which until recently we have borrowed for.

Both as a Nation and as a State we are proceeding upon a program of economy which will tend toward a reduction of Federal and State taxes. In municipal life, however, there is not any immediate hope of reduction in taxes due to a change in local demands, such as improved schools,
191
increased length of time children are in our public schools, improved sidc- streets as well as thoroughfares due to the advent of automobiles, further public demands for sewers, improved water conditions, further extension of public health work and better care of the sick and needy, further public need for facilities not demanded in the past, such as play grounds, parks, open spaces and general beautification of our home town. Much of this is very definite progress toward our higher type of civilization and, while it should be kept within bounds, it should not be entirely discouraged.
All of these changes in public demands, with many indications of their growing rather than decreasing, require a different viewpoint on municipal expenditures.
For these reasons this Commission feels that we should cease to borrow money with the cntailing interest expense and force upon a coming genera- tion interest and debt requirements which are made by the present genera- tion, knowing full well that the coming generation will have their own problems requiring plenty of money expenditure. With this in mind we should not only cease borrowing so much money but should very definitely work toward the highest standard of all, of no public debt, even if the load is temporarily heavy, and this accomplishment will take many years before fulfillment.
We take this opportunity to express our appreciation of the earnest co- operation we receive from every department and the town officials which helped greatly in lightening our work.
CHARLES J. PRESCOTT, Chairman, FRED R. ELLIS, Secretary, FRANK A. FALES.
