The hearing held by the legislative committee on the bill pre- sented with the special report of the Department of Public Health to the Legislature relative to the extension of the Metropolitan Sewerage System in the valley of the Neponset River, at which the case for Norwood was presented, was followed by a report and action referring the matter to the next session of the Legislature to be held in 1928. This important matter will have the attention of the town officials at that time.


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. The Selectmen were appreciative of the support, co-operation and consideration shown by their fellow officials and the citizens gene- rally and hope to merit a continuance in the year now beginning.

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,


PATRICK J. LYDON KENNETH MCKENZIE
