REPORT OF GENERAL MANAGER
The Selectmen Mr. Harry B. Butters, Chairman
Norwood, Massachusetts
Dear Sirs:
In accordance with Section 9 (e) of Chapter 197 of the Acts of 1914, I herewith submit my report for the year ending December 31, 1941. .
I am attaching as part of this report, the departmental reports as sub- mitted to me by the several department heads. These are more or less in detail. I will therefore merely summarize the more important items and facts concerning the activities of the departments under my supervision.
Work Projects Administration
At the beginning of the year approximately 136 people were employed under this Federal agency in Norwood. This number decreased gradually during the year to approximately 34 at the close of the year.
The only new project undertaken during the year was the construction of sanitary sewers on Gay Street and East Cross Street and the streets interconnecting these two. A field line sanitary sewer was constructed from the main trunk sewer easterly of Pleasant Street to East Cross Street. The plans called for the continuation of the field line sewer to East Rock Street, so that the sanitary sewer system in this area could be taken care of by gravity and thus eliminate the sump and pump on East Rock Street. However, this was not completed at the close of the year.
The Federal expenditures decreased more than fifty per cent as com- pared to 1940, but the Town expenditures decreased only seven and one half per cent.
Public Works Department
General-The personnel in this department decreased by separations from the service, leaves of absence, retirements, and deaths from a total 101 at the beginning of the year to 77 at the close of the year.
Highway Division-Belmont Street, from Bellevue Avenue to Peabody Road, and Peabody Road, from Belmont Street to Nichols Street, were constructed with an oiled gravel surface. These were the only new streets constructed in 1941. However the reconstruction of Pleasant Street from Morse Street to the East Walpole line as a Chapter 90 Project was started and is to be completed in 1942.
Day Street from Washington Street to Broadway, and Winter Street, from Walpole Street to Prospect Street, were resurfaced with bituminous concrete. Hoyle Street, from Washington Street to Walpole Street, Rock- hill Street from Washington Street to Mylod Street, and Douglas Avenue, from Washington Street to Winslow Avenue, were resurfaced with stone asphalt penetration.
Surface Water Drains Division-The pipe drain from Cottage Street
29
through Memorial Park to the Talbot property was completed early in the year. The project for piping the main drain between Lenox Avenue and Cross Street was started from the Lenox Avenue end. The work was dis- continued shortly after it started and will be continued in 1942.
The following pipe drains were installed: Hoyle Street from Washington Street to Walpole Street, Winslow Avenue from Hoyle Street to Douglas Avenue, Johnson Court, Water Street at the railroad bridge, Pine Street including open ditch outlet, and Gay Street from Sixth Street to West Border Road.
Sanitary Sewer Division-The following collecting sewers were in- stalled: Rockhill Street, Pleasant Street south of the Ink Mill from the Metropolitan Sewer approximately 300 feet southerly, and Broadway from Day Street approximately 115 feet northerly.
There was an increase of approximately forty per cent in the number of new sewer services installed in 1941 as compared to 1940.
Water Division-Our "unaccounted for" water decreased from ap- proximately forty per cent in 1941 to thirty-four per cent as compared to 1940.
Engineering Department
In my report for 1940 I referred to the survey that was made for the location of an airport in the Fowle Meadows. I wish to make it a matter of record that the Boston office of the United States Corp of Engineers, to whom this engineering data was submitted, spot checked this survey and found it so accurate that they accepted it without a survey of their own. I consider this a distinct compliment to our Engineering Department.
The cooperation of this department in preparing plans and providing engineering data was of considerable assistance in securing the location of a new plant of the Bendix Aviation Corporation for Norwood.
Municipal Light Department
The purchase of electric energy increased approximately fourteen per cent in 1941 over 1940 and the purchase cost per kilowatt hour remained the same, namely 1.175 cents. It is estimated that the increase in the pur- chase requirements of electric energy in 1942 will be three times as large as the 1941 increase. This will more than justify the foresight of Superin- tendent Church in recommending the increase in the distribution voltage from 2300 to 4100 volts and the construction of the new sub-station on Morse Street.
In the eight years that I have served as your General Manager, the amount of electric energy purchased annually has increased from 8,300,000 K.W.H. in 1933 to 12,600,000 K.W.H. in 1941.
Police Department
A two-way radio was installed in this department the latter part of the year. This consisted of a main station transmitter and receiver at the
30
police headquarters and a transmitter and receiver in each of the two cruising cars.
A new modern ambulance mounted on a Cadillac chassis was purchased to replace the Nash ambulance which has been in service many years. In consideration of the present emergency, the old ambulance was not traded, but was retained as a spare unit.
Cemetery Department
As in the past, additional land was developed for burial purposes. The approach to Highland Cemetery has been greatly enhanced by the beauti- fication of the area easterly of the main entrance which had previously been used in part for family vegetable gardens.
Conclusion
The wage increases granted the latter part of the year, to the Public Works Department employees, to the laborers in the Cemetery Department, and to the line crew in the Light Department, were consistent with wages being paid to employees of similar classification in neighboring munici- palities.
I am of the opinion that the wage question must be given serious further consideration, not alone to compensate the municipal employees for the increase in the living costs, but more important to retain in the public service those employees who through years of faithful service and experience have become qualified to render that type of municipal service to which the citizens of Norwood have become accustomed and which they expect, and rightly so, from their municipal employees.
In closing, I wish to express my thanks to the heads of all departments under the supervision of your General Manager for their attention to duty and for their conscientious cooperation with my office; to the heads of all departments not under the supervision of your General Manager for the harmonious and pleasant relationships under which we have worked; to all the employees in the departments under the supervision of your General Manager for their sincerity and loyalty; and to all the Selectmen who have been so considerate of your General Manager and so appreciative of his efforts to efficiently and conscientiously conduct the business of his office.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM C. KENDRICK, General Manager

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF ASSESSORS
To the Citizens of Norwood:
The Board of Assessors herewith submit their annual report for the year 1941 together with the statement showing comparison of tax rate re- capitulations for the years 1940 and 1941 and also the table of aggregates of polls, property, and taxes as assessed January 1, 1941.
Organization
On April 1, 1941 Richard D. Northrop was reappointed by the Selectmen as an assessor to serve for a three year term ending April 1, 1944.
On April 22, 1941 William J. Dalton was reappointed as an assessor by the Selectmen to serve for the three year term retroactive from April 1, 1940 and ending April 1, 1943.
Tax Rate for the Year 1941
On June 10, 1941 the Board of Assessors voted that the tax rate for the year 1941 be determined as $31.90 per each one thousand dollars of valua- tion.
Financial Report
The financial statement of the department will be found in the report of the Town Accountant.
Appellate Tax Board Cases
There were pending for hearing before the Appellate Tax Board on January 1, 1941 two appeals:
Docket No. 15796. Pasquale and Carmella Santoro vs. Board of As- sessors of Norwood. This appeal was filed by said Pasquale and Carmella Santoro on March 1, 1940 upon refusal of the Board of Assessors to grant an abatement in regard to real estate taxes assessed as of January 1. 1939. The case was filed under formal procedure and was called for hearing on December 12, 1941. Evidence was presented before the court and no decision had been handed down by December 31, 1941.
Docket No. X-31414. Canton Institution for Savings vs. Board of Assessors of Norwood. This appeal was filed by said Canton Institution for Savings on December 10, 1940 following refusal of the Board of As- sessors to grant an abatement in regard to real estate tax assessed as of January 1, 1940. The case was called for hearing on November 28, 1941. Following a suitable agreement made between the parties at the hearing, the appeal was formally withdrawn by the Canton Institution for Savings on December 3, 1941.
Filing of Statements
. The Board of Assessors wish to call to the attention of all persons subject to taxation in the Town of Norwood, the responsibility placed upon them
.
34
under the General Laws to file a true list of their property with the Board on or before January 31 of each year. It is to be noted that in respect to abatements on personal property, a person incurs a doomage penalty of fifty per cent unless such a list is seasonably filed. Filing of lists, which may be obtained each year at the Assessors' office, greatly assist the Assessors in determining the full and fair cash value of property for taxation pur- poses.
Poll Tax Exemptions
General Laws provide that every male inhabitant above the age of twenty, whether citizens of the United States or aliens, are liable for a poll tax. Provision is made also for the exemption from payment of the poll tax of those males over the age of seventy who, however, must give the authority to the Board of Assessors to grant the exemption by filing a written request for exemption with the Board each year.
In regard to poll taxes of those males now in the armed service of the United States, they are required to be listed and assessed a poll tax as residents of the town but at present no legislation has been passed which would enable the Assessors to exempt them from payment of the poll tax.
