Attention was given to the question of amending the Zoning By-Law with respect to the character and extent of the use of land adjoining the Super or Trunk Highway, known as Route 1, and conferences with the Planning Board and Board of Appeal and others were held regarding the matter.


Notice of opposition was given from time to time, as occasion arose, to the Department of Public Works, to the granting of permits to maintain bill-board signs on the Boston to Providence Turnpike, Route No. 1.


From time to time during the year, deeds of lots in Highlandview Ceme- tery were executed and acknowledged for delivery.


Meetings of the Selectmen acting as a Board of Survey were held and hearings given as required by law upon matters as to which action by the Board of Survey was requested or deemed advisable.


On November 15, Joseph Constantino filed with the Industrial Accident Board a claim for workmen's compensation for injuries alleged to have been sustained while employed on street excavation work in a Federal Emergency Relief Administration project. The claim was referred to the General Manager for investigation and as it has the status of a case the protection of the interests of the Town has been committed to the Town Counsel who has advised that the claimant appears to be a Federal employee and not a Town employee, and that compensation liability on the part of the Town is limited to laborers, workmen and mechanics in the employ of the Town.


On May 15, notice was received from the School Committee that on May 10 it had voted to permit the use of school yards and school play- ground areas under the direction of the Selectmen during the official playground season which begins soon after the close of school and ends about September Ist and the use by children for the limited purposes indicated under the direction of playground supervisors of the following school buildings, namely, Balch, Callahan, Shattuck, Winslow, Junior High School and Senior High School, also to allow the use of the High School baseball diamond for twilight league activities daily after 5:30 P. M. and Sunday afternoons and subject to the requirement that all such activities be properly supervised and controlled by agencies other than School Committee employees. On November 20 further notice was received of action of the School Committee taken on November 15 to the effect that the use of schools would be allowed to the Recreation Com- mittee as outlined in the program of the Committee and that such Com- mittee provide proper supervision and finance the cost of heat, light and janitor service subject to certain restrictions and conditions detailed and that a definite outline of the activities to be conducted be submitted to the School Committee. It was later indicated that the charges for heat and light at the Senior High School and Junior High School buildings would be $4.50 each per night of use.


On June 12, an agreement between the Town through the Municipal Light Department and the Eastern Massachusetts Street Railway Com-


189


pany under date of December 1, 1933, was approved and signed. This agreement covered the discontinuance of sixty-two poles and conveyed to the Town in consideration of a payment of $707.53 and other valuable consideration to be made to the Street Railway Company by the Municipal Light Department all the right, title and interest of the Street Railway Company in and to one hundred poles as shown on plans referred to in the agreement. It was further agreed with respect to certain jointly owned poles on the easterly side of Washington Street at the intersection of Ne- ponset Street and on Market Street and Guild Street, that the Town take over the poles in consideration of the sum of $1.00 with a further agreement between the Municipal Light Department and the New England Tele- phone and Telegraph Company of Massachusetts relative to one hundred fifty-three jointly owned poles with respect to which the Street Railway Company had given notice to discontinue their use, being located on various streets of the Town and on private property as shown on plan.


On September 25, the abandonment by the Municipal Light Depart- ment of certain pole locations as shown on the plan was authorized.


On December 18, by appropriate orders, locations as prayed for were granted to the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company of Massachusetts and the Municipal Light Department to remove certain poles and to locate a certain pole on certain street named. On the same date by appropriate order, permission was granted to the Municipal Light Department to maintain poles and wires in accordance with petition made.


On March 6, a hearing was given to Public Works Employees' Union by its committee on the question of discrimination with respect to certain employees in Public Works Department who then belonged to the Union, and it was voted, that the Superintendent of Public Works be instructed through the General Manager that no discrimination be shown between a union employee and a non-union employee, and that foremen be instructed to refrain from discussing with employees under their supervision during hours of employment the question of union organization in Public Works Department.


On April 17, the Town Counsel informed the Selectmen by letter that he did not wish to be considered for re-appointment to the office for the coming year and stated that on the first of May he will have completed twenty-five years of continuous service as Counsel for the Town, and felt that he should then retire and that if desired he would remain in office temporarily after that date during the absence of Clerk Pendergast and until his successor was appointed.


The Selectmen thereafter by unanimous action requested Judge Halloran to reconsider his decision to retire from the office and to accept re-appoint- inent. On July 10, following the receipt of a letter to the effect that in view of the unanimous sentiment expressed by the Selectmen, and con- fidence shown and satisfaction with his past services manifested he would accept re-appointment, Judge Halloran was by unanimous vote re-ap-


190


pointed Town Counsel for the term as of and from May 1, 1934 to May 1, 1935.


Conclusion


The foregoing report has been prepared and is presented with a view to acquainting the citizens in a rather formal manner and with reasonable detail as to matters which were not of a merely routine character, with the nature and extent of the activities of the Selectmen in the performance of their varied duties during the year 1934, as to which, despite differences of opinion and divided action which, as to some matters, developed, con- scientious service was rendered.


Appreciation is extended to all officials and employees for cooperation shown:

REPORT OF GENERAL MANAGER


The Selectmen,


Harry B. Butters, Chairman, Norwood, Massachusetts.


Dear Sir:


I herein respectfully submit the report of the General Manager for the year 1934.


A great amount of time and consideration was given during the year to providing work for the unemployed. We were very fortunate in having been able to take advantage of the opportunities provided under govern- mental agencies or by Federal assistance to give employment to many men and some women.


Under the Civil Works Administration which was succeeded in April by the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, we employed on various types of projects as many as two hunderd and eighty (280) men and sixty (60) women at one time during the year and very seldom were there less then two hundred (200) employed under this agency. I am satisfied that no municipality in the State, in proportion to its population, received any greater benefits from this source than did the Town of Norwood.


I am attaching a summary to this report showing the various projects which were completed or which operated during the year under the C. W. A. and the F. E. R. A. This summary also shows the amount of funds pro- vided by the C. W. A. and the F. E. R. A. for labor and for material and the amount of funds provided by the Town of Norwood for material. The fact that approximately $156,000 was paid out for labor on these projects with an expense to the Town of less than $22,000 cannot be emphasized too strongly. I also feel that these projects of themselves are of a distinct benefit to the Town and its citizens.


On January 23, 1934 an agreement between the Federal Public Works Administration and the Town of Norwood was signed which provided that the Federal Government would grant the sum of $9,000 to the Town upon the successful completion of a gravity connection of the Town's sewerage system to the Metropolitan Sewer off Pleasant Street South of the then existing Town of Norwood sewer pumping station and which referred to this project as Docket Number 3016. Construction on this project was started in July and carried on throughout the balance of the year. This gave employment to approximately eighty (80) men.


In the construction of this sewer we met with considerable difficulty due to the unforescen large volume of underground water which was en- countered. This greatly increased the cost of the work and necessitated revised estimates. I am pleased to state, however, that the project has now been satisfactorily completed.


Out of the appropriations that were made at the several Town meetings in 1934 the Public Works Department employed approximately fifty men


196


in new construction and general maintenance work in addition to the regular Public Works Department personnel of approximately forty men.


The most important new construction completed by the Public Works Department during the year included the foot-pass under the railroad tracks at Cedar Street, covering over the open surface water drainage ditch between Plimpton Avenue and Cross Street, the installation of a double concrete pipe culvert on Dean Street between Route 1 Highway and Neponset Street to eliminate an existing wooden bridge which was in a hazardous condition, and the construction of the sanitary sewer field line from Nahatan Street to connect with the system of lateral sewers installed under the E. R. A. in the Hawthorne Street section.


In October our Public Works Department started construction on the Nahatan Street Extension from Broadway to Pleasant Street. This work is being done in cooperation with the State Department of Public Works under Chapter 90 of the General Laws. Work on this project has been temporarily discontinued during the winter but construction will be started again in a few weeks and will not be completed until well into this summer.


The various departments under the Manager were operated in an efficient, economical and satisfactory manner during the year. I am attaching copies of the reports of the heads of these departments rather than go into detail in this report on their operation. The expenditures and receipts of these departments are included in the Town Accountant's report which is printed elsewhere in this Town Report. I wish to state, however, that the revenue derived from the Water and Electric Light Departments was very gratifying, the revenue from the latter department having substantially increased over 1933.


I am pleased to report that the public buildings, the repair of which is under my jurisdiction, are in better condition than they have been for some time. This is due to the cooperation of the various departments using these buildings and the assistance provided by the C. W. A. and E. R. A. in alteration and repair work.


I wish to express my appreciation of the cooperation during the past year of the various elective officials of the Town and as well of the depart- ment heads and their assistants. I wish also to thank Mr. M. Joseph Roache, Local E. R. A. Administrator, and his assistants without whose splendid cooperation and unselfish devotion of time and energy our C. W. A. and E. R. A. program would not have been so eminently successful.


Respectfully submitted,


WILLIAM C. KENDRICK, General Manager.
