FORESTRY DEPARTMENT
Mr. Walter H. Metcalf, Superintendent
The work of this department has, as usual, consisted of spraying all shade trees bordering the streets and a large amount of shrub- bery and trees on private property.
Considering the small expense of the department the results obtained from spraying were very satisfactory.
The equipment is in good condition for use during the coming season.
Sixty new maple trees have been set out, some taking the place of those destroyed or broken, either by boys or trucks backing or running into them, or other causes, and the balance in streets where no trees had before been planted.
During the past season considerable work has been done in pruning and caring for the older trees, also the removal of dead and partially dead trees.
The shade trees along the streets in Norwood are one of its principal attractions and more care should be given them, and, in order to keep them in good condition, a larger appropriation than has heretofore been available should be made.
One thousand white and one thousand Scotch pine seedlings were set out on the town property in the vicinity of the Ellis pumping station.

ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT Mr. George A. Smith, Engineer
This department has had a busy season as nearly every branch of construction work done in connection with the Public Works Department requires some engineering assistance.
Aside from preparing plans, estimates of cost, laying out the work on the ground for its actual construction, etc., the depart- ment has many other duties to perform.
During the year service has been rendered the following depart- ments :
Highway Department
Sewer Department
Water Department
School Department
Town Square Development
Assessors' Maps
Drains
Cemetery Department
Parks
Electric Light Department
Police Department
LIGHT DEPARTMENT Mr. Fred S. Barton, Superintendent
The past year shows another successful business year for the department. The load was very much increased. Nearly 10% more light was added to the streets by placing larger lights in the business section and where traffic sections need more light. This and the new traffic signals placed Norwood first in its class in reducing accidents.
The connected load increased as follows: 32 h. p. of motors and the equivalent to 6515, 40 watt lamps.
The addition to the Station has been completed and most of the equipment is here and will be installed and put into service from
130
time to time without interruption to service. When fully com- pleted Norwood will have one of the very latest type of equipment in a fire-proof building. This will insure our consumers a better service than it was possible to give before to both power and lighting users.
FIRE ALARM DEPARTMENT Mr. Fred S. Barton, Superintendent
Last year the old type of fire alarm call boxes were changed to the new Standard Non-interfering and Succession type. The lines are in good condition and very little trouble has been encountered with the system.
INSPECTION OF WIRES
Mr. Fred S. Barton, Inspector
During the year 136 wiring permits were issued. This is not as many as usual due to the decrease in building. The work has been done in a first class manner and was done mostly by local contractors. Only a few minor changes had to be made upon inspection. Pipe and B. X. wire were used in every installation. 12 of the 136 permits issued were for unwired dwellings. This brings Norwood's percentage of wired dwellings to above 99%.
PARKS
Mr. John E. Colburn, Superintendent
Early in the spring the Town Square Park was graded, seeded and rolled. Gravel walks, on top of which a layer of stone dust was spread, were constructed. The grass has been cut and the park kept in good condition throughout the summer.
The Bond Street Park has been kept in good condition by cut- ting the grass and trimming, etc., and it has had a neat, attractive appearance.
At the Eliot Park a considerable amount of work was done by means of filling. During the early part of the winter 2340 cubic yards of gravel was taken from a pit on Neponset Street and used for grading and filling. This gravel was given to the town by Mr. Charles J. Prescott, the cost being the expense of loading, hauling, depositing and spreading it at the park. In addition to the gravel taken from the above pit about 2500 cubic yards were taken from an existing bank at the site of the park and used for filling.
Before the park can be used as a playground or for recreation purposes it will be necessary to do a large amount of work such as filling, leveling, grading, rolling, surfacing, etc. Drainage should be provided and the entire area smoothed over.
131
In order to bring the surface to the finished grade it will be necessary to rehandle a considerable amount of material now on the ground. If the surface is brought to a sub grade and leveled, smoothed and rolled it will provide an area of five acres which can be used for playgrounds or other purposes. As the finished surface of the park is about eight feet lower than the ground located at the rear of the Balch School it will be necessary to provide means of access and a set of steps should be constructed.
The Shattuck Park has been improved by the removal of un- sightly trees, construction of walks, etc. This work has been done under the supervision of Mr. Arthur Shurtleff, landscape architect, of Boston. A substantial rustic stone wall was con- structed around the Winter Street side and adds to the general appearance. The expense of all of the work in connection with removing of trees, construction of walks, etc., was paid by Mrs. Emma L. Shattuck. The wall was built at the expense of the town.
Respectfully submitted,
LEWIS D. THORPE, General Manager.

Litigation and Claims
The case of Alfred L. Atwood against the town in which an assessment of damages by a jury in the Superior Court for Nor- folk County was claimed for land fronting on a proposed street shown as Cleveland Street taken in fee by right of eminent domain for public school purposes (as the sum of $1500 awarded as damages was unsatisfactory) was pending at the beginning of the year. As the time of trial approached negotiations for a com- promise settlement were had and a settlement mutually satisfac- tory to Mr. Atwood and the Selectmen was reached through the payment of the sum of $2300 by the town to Mr. Atwood for the parcel of land in question and for an adjoining parcel containing about 7500 feet as reported to and accepted by the town at the special town meeting held December 29, 1927. In addition to a release of damages Mr. Atwood gave to the town a conveyance of both parcels by a quitclaim deed.
On April 27, 1927, actions of tort were brought against the town by George W. Pelham and Eva H. Pelham of Quincy in the Su- perior Court for Norfolk County to recover for personal injuries and property damage alleged to have resulted on October 24, 1926, from the defective condition of Dean Street. These cases were referred to the law department for attention and the action taken by that department will be found in the report of the Town Counsel.
Certain other claims against the town had consideration and such action was taken following investigations and report by the General Manager and advice from the law department as appeared to be desirable or necessary in each instance.
It does not appear to be necessary to detail these claims in this report. Perhaps it should be stated, however, that the compromise settlement of the claims of John H. and Mary E. Maguire for per- sonal injury and property damage to which reference was made
136
in our report for 1926, was completed in January, 1927, by the pay- ment of the sum of $1742.16 which was appropriated by the town for the purpose.
