REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD
May 7, 1956 the Board met with Mr. Leo Young of the Planning Division of the Massachusetts Department of Commerce who appeared to discuss Section 710, Title VII, of the Housing Acts of 1954 which provides for assis- tance to local communities who lack adequate planning resources.
On November 26, 1956 the Board met again with Mr. Leo Young who explained in greater detail the advantages of a master plan to the town and how to obtain financial assistance from the Federal Government for such a program.
During the year the Board conducted thirty-nine meetings and spent a total of 119 hours at the meetings. During the year several field trips were made by various members of the Board and by the Board Engineer, Walter Ryan, to make special studies or to get on-the-spot first hand information concerning some of the problems. The number of hours so spent was not recorded.
Forty-two plans not requiring subdivision control were signed and 4 plans were signed requiring subdivision approval covering a total of 113 lots.
Future Planning Program
The Planning Board proposes to develop a master plan in accordance with the General Laws of the Commonwealth from which our Board gets its authority. We plan to take advantage of the program of State and Federal financial aid and other assistance available to us. We have quite a few elements of a master plan now in existence and these can be revised to keep the cost within reason. But, several elements of a plan have never been done or are too old to bother revising.
The Planning Board proposes the following program:
A. Land use survey
B. Population study
C. Highways-traffic-off-street parking
D. Sewerage and drainage
E. Schools
F. Recreation
G. Future land use plan 1. Residential and industrial development
H. Revision of zoning by-law
I. Revision of building code
J. Prepare a housing code
K. Prepare a capital improvement program.
This program would be developed by an expert selected by the Planning Board and the completed plan would be presented to Town Meetings for adoption.

Norfolk County Mosquito Control Project
On September 21, 1955 the Norwood Board of Health sponsored a meet- ing of public officials interested in establishing effective mosquito control measures in Norfolk County.
A Bill was prepared and filed with the State Legislature in December of 1955. The Bill ran into some difficulty in the Senate but after several con-
230
TOWN OF NORWOOD
ferences the objectionable section of the Bill was amended and the Act was finally signed by the Governor on May 14, 1956 with an emergency preamble attached.
The Norfolk County Mosquito Control Project came into being on July 1, 1956. Almost at once the project was faced with a major problem when in early August southeastern Massachusetts was threatened with an outbreak of eastern equine encephalities.
Initial control measures were directed against the adult mosquito as the quickest means of intercepting the course of a possible serious outbreak of the disease.
There were fourteen (14) cases of encephalities reported in the State in humans, forty-one (41) horse cases and seventeen (17) pheasant farms reported illness within their flocks.
Salk Vaccine Program
The Salk Vaccine program was continued in the public and parochial schools. Pre-school clinics were conducted in Memorial Hall of the Municipal Building. At the close of 1956 all participating children in Norwood from grade two to ten had received three inoculations of Salk Vaccine.
All pupils from grade ten to twelve received two inoculations. All pre- school children from six months and including pupils in grade one received two inoculations.
The program will continue until all eligible young people in Norwood from birth to age twenty have received three inoculations of Salk Vaccine.
The Town of Norwood did not have a case of poliomyelitis to report in 1956.
Subdivision Control
The Board of Health approved plans for the sanitary water supply, sewage disposal and drainage for four sub-divisions with a total of one hundred and thirteen (113) building lots.
Norfolk County Hospital
The Board of Health had sixteen patients at Norfolk County Hospital in 1956. There were eight cases discharged, condition on discharge arrested. Two were terminal cases, leaving six hospitalized cases at the close of the year.
Plumbing Regulations
The Board approved new regulations for plumbing and house drainage which are now effective in Norwood.
Sanitary Inspections
Sanitary inspections were conducted during the year of food stores, eating places, institutions and all business establishments requiring Board , of Health approval for licensing purposes.
