Conclusion
The activities of the Selectmen for the year 1927 were constant and as varied and important as in recent past years as may be appreciated to some extent at least from the foregoing resume.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF ASSESSORS
To the Citizens of Norwood:
The Board of Assessors herewith submit their annual report together with the statement of valuations as determining the tax levy for the year 1927.
Organization, April 1, 1927
Patrick J. Lydon was elected as Chairman and James E. Pender- gast as Clerk.
Assistant Assessors
George L. Banks, Benjamin Paddleford, Edmund H. Sullivan, Robert B. Oldham, Eugene L. Murphy, Albert W. Tafuse and Michael J. Lydon were appointed by vote of the Board under au- thority of Town Meeting to serve for the period of thirty days or such shorter period as the Board of Assessors may determine.
Tax Rate for the Year 1927
The table of comparison of tax requirements submitted herewith exhibits the differences as to the years 1926 and 1927.
On August 9, 1927 it was voted that the tax rate for the year 1927 be determined as $29.00 per thousand.
It was also voted at this meeting that no assessments should be levied as a Special Assessment against individual parcels of land in the Neponset Valley for the purpose of meeting the expense which the Town has been called upon to pay because no special benefit can be found to exist.
Filing of Statements
The Board of Assessors at this time wish to call to the attention of all taxpayers the responsibility placed upon each taxpayer under the Law with regard to the filing of statements of property taxable in each year.
The Law directs a mandatory to the Board of Assessors in the matter of abatements of taxes where application is made by the taxpayer after the 15th day of May in each year. The Board of Assessors are permitted to abate only as the Law directs. If the taxpayer would file an early statement and before the 15th day of May it would save, in all cases in question, the requirement of the doomage as directed by Law.
Respectfully submitted,
