Some trimming and removal was done by men in the Public Works Department.
One hundred ninety-four new sugar maple trees were planted.
Rubbish
The compliance by everyone in living up to the Rules and Regulations for the Collection of Rubbish has made a marked change in the amount of work the men are now called upon to perform. Consequently we now meet our monthly collection schedule using less men and equipment.
Dump
The dump was well maintained. It is a small but busy place particularly on Saturdays.
Equipment
The following equipment was purchased for the department:
1-Austin-Western Street Sweeper
1-4 ton International Dump Truck and Plow
1-3 ton International Dump Truck
1-OC-6 Oliver Sidewalk Tractor and Plow
1-Ford Sedan

Park and Playgrounds
All the parks, playgrounds and baseball diamonds were cleaned and rolled in the Spring. This included the newly seeded area at Fr. McAleer's Playground.
Grass was treated with lime and fertilizer and mowed during the grass growing season. The amount of grass to cut was much more than usual because it was the wettest season on record.
All the playground equipment was inspected, repaired, painted and erected at the different playgrounds.
New playground equipment such as swings, picnic tables and slides that were purchased by the Recreation Department were also erected at the different playgrounds.
The Civic Tennis Courts, various baseball diamonds including two Little League fields were graded and maintained.
The work of constructing a baseball diamond at the new Fr. McAleer Playground, new softball diamond at Endean Field and converting the Pony League Diamond at Wilson Street to a Babe Ruth League Field was started late in the season. These projects will be completed in the spring of 1959.
Hawes Pool was repaired and repainted before the opening of the pool in June. A new outdoor pool with filtration equipment was started. Likewise, filtration equipment for Hawes School. These new facilities will be in operation next season.
The softball backstop at Elliot Park was rebuilt and a hot top basketball court built at Endean Field. The stone memorial at Fr. McAleer's was repointed.
The department assisted the Recreation Department to provide fire- works and dancing on Fourth of July.
The several skating areas were readied early and so far the weather for outdoor skating has been most excellent.

REPORT OF PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
Conclusion
The construction of an office was started at the yard to provide a much needed facility. This should be carried to completion.
Definite progress has been made in the past two years in the replacement of and the acquisition of new equipment. We trust this good work will continue.
The kind and amount of services rendered has stepped up tremendously with our increase in population. It is a vital necessity to at least maintain our complement of help if we are to continue such services.
Departmental housing is decentralized and insufficient. Attention should be given to this requirement.
Provision should be made to enlarge the dump area.
The year 1958 was the wettest on record. Heavy rain fell in 75 days during the construction season. We, as well as contractors, were slowed down in getting seasonal work completed because of poor weather.
In conclusion, we wish to thank the General Manager, Board of Selectmen, various department heads, other Town Officials and the personnel of my department for their cooperation during the year and to express my sincere appreciation for a job well done.
Respectfully submitted,
ALBERT E. CASEY Superintendent of Public Works

REPORT OF NORWOOD AIRPORT COMMISSION
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The Norwood Airport Commission hereby submits its report for the year 1958.
The Norwood Airport Commission meets the first Monday of each month to discuss the various matters pertaining to the Norwood Airport. During the course of the year there are many problems that come up for discussion.
A brief review of the more important matters discused during the year were:
1. Assessment fee levied against the Boston Metropolitan Airport previous to new agreement.
2. Seal coating E. W. Runway.
3. Flood conditions at the airport.
4. Request for transfer of an available fire truck to be used as a crash wagon at the Airport.
5. Meeting with Finance Commission relative to 1958 appropriation.
6. Contract and lease between Wiggins Airways Inc. and Norwood Airport Commission for the installation of Radio Beacon completed.
7. The seal coating of the E. W. Runway was not completed during 1958 but is expected that this work will be started in the spring of 1959.
8. Various meetings with State and Federal agencies relative to airport problems.
9. One of our major problems at the Airport is Airport Zoning which is the control of structure heights within the approach areas.
The State of Massachusetts has adopted legislation which permits any city or town to adopt approach regulations. During the year the com- mission has devoted considerable time to this problem and it is hoped that during 1959 we will have a workable solution to the problem.
The activity at the Norwood Airport has continued on the increase during 1958 and many additions to the facilities have been made including a tractor and truck for moving heavy aircraft and plowing and preheating equipment for cold weather use.
The number of employees at the Airport is on the increase and the Federal Government (C.A.A.) is constantly enlarging its staff of inspectors and its scope of activity. The volume of business flying is constantly grow- ing so that the need of aditional facilities and runway improvements are needed.
The Wiggins Heliocopter fleet is still the most important New England Unit for agriculturing spraying and dusting in addition to power and pipe line patrol.
219
REPORT OF AIRPORT COMMISSION
An addition to the Administration Building was completed in March 1958 and the large storage building to house additional service and storage facilities will be completed in the early part of 1959.
The following statement gives a general idea as to what the Town receives from the Airport Management:
Gross Income from Leases, etc. $15,181.00 @ 5% $ 759.00
Property taxes
4,608.00
Purchase of electricity. Wiggins & B.M.A. Inc. only 3,531.00
Use of Town Water
644.00
Total
$9,542.00
We still feel that the Norwood Airport will continue to grow and be- come one of our greatest assets for the future growth of Norwood and the surrounding area.

REPORT OF ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
The Engineering Department work load is such that it was necessary to carry over some of the 1958 construction work into 1959 and with the additional help we now have in the Engineering Department and the possibility of having outside engineering firms do some of our work, we have hopes of getting caught up with much of our back work.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Norwood:
The reports of the Superintendent, Principals, and Supervisors, present vital facts related to Norwood Schools. Items which the School Committee regards reportable and not included in the aforementioned reports are submitted herewith.
Prescott and Cleveland Schools
The long awaited construction of new housing facilities for elementary school children is now an accomplished fact.
The Prescott School was opened to classes November 17th, 1958, under the leadership of Principal U. V. Napoleone.
The Cleveland School was opened to classes on December 29th, 1958. Its Principal is Miss Mary A. Dean.
The School Committee acknowledges with much appreciation, the pains- taking care with which the Elementary Schools Building Committee has planned every detail in these new schools. Arthur B. Rodgers is Chairman of the Elementary Schools Building Committee, and the other members are Mrs. Robert E. Hemman, J. Herbert Lindblom, Ernest G. Paciorkowski, Channing W. Souther, Jr., Henry W. Diggs, and Mr. Walter E. Dolan.
We feel that, under the leadership of each of the Principals assigned to these new schools, the facilities provided will be utilized to their fullest potential.
School Housing
We are concerned about the fact that several of the older schools do not have the same number and types of facilities which the new schools possess. There is much to be done, especially in matters of furniture replacement. intercommunication systems, and provisions for activity spaces.
The immediate need for a large investment in Secondary School housing and the fact of the construction of two new elementary schools take the spotlight from the elementary school housing problem.
For the time being, the likelihood of transfer of pupils to grade IX from what will soon be a very crowded Junior High School building to the Senior High School building after a sizeable addition is constructed, makes it possible to postpone additional Junior High School housing construction for several years to come.
However, remodeling in the Junior High School building will be re- quired. There are approximately 350 Junior High School pupils who remain during the lunch hour and the lunch room facilities are quite inadequate to meet their needs.
Moreover, it is timely to announce that each of our classrooms in all of our elementary schools houses a class of children. Many of these class-
230
TOWN OF NORWOOD
rooms are full and, a few, crowded. The time is not far off, when we shall need, probably in the Shattuck School district, a new elementary school building.
The Senior High School enrollment is a matter of considerable concern. At this writing, the facilities of the building are taxed beyond capacity.
We are much pleased to know that townspeople are aware of the im- mediate need of an enlargement. The recent Town Meeting action calling for the appointment of a Committee to study this pressing problem gives promise of the early foundation of plans to relieve it.
Presented herewith, are two separate enrollment projections, each of which points up the problem quite clearly. Moreover, it appears that the direction in which the Town should move in a long-range plan to provide adequate housing for Junior and Senior High School pupils is indicated.
Adequate facilities for a High School enrollment of 1500 in grades IX to XII, if provided immediately, will postpone the difficult question of determining whether a next step, 8 or 10 years hence, is to be further expansion of the High School, the Junior High School, or both.
Projections
TOWN OF NORWOOD-SCHOOL COMMITTEE-OCTOBER 20, 1958 PROPOSAL HIGH SCHOOL ADDITION
The School Committee calls to the attention of Norwood citizens the fact that the Senior High School and the Junior High School buildings are filled to capacity. The School Committee is convinced that an addition to the Senior High School building is an immediate necessity.
At present there are many rooms in the Senior High School which are sub-standard for the use to which they are put. For example:
1. the cafeteria is used as a homeroom every day.
2. the cafeteria is used as a study hall 21 periods per week-75-100 pupils in each group.
3. the cafeteria is used for band instruction 2 periods per week.
4. the cafeteria is used for driver training safety classes 2 periods per week.
5. 8 classes are held in rooms which are not specially equipped for the classes taught.
6. 6 classes are held in the Peabody School because there is not room for them in the High School.
Inasmuch as increasing enrollments are making demands for additional space, the School Committee will be faced with the question of double ses- sions for the High School. This will give rise to such questions as the follow- ing:
Which classes will attend mornings? Which-afternoon ?
What will we do about "doubling" our transportation routes ?
231
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
When will morning classes start-when will afternoon classes close?
Will we have to increase our teaching staff so that there will be two faculties ?
What will happen to the athletic program ?- can afternoon enrollees play ? Practice ?
These and many other similar problems suggest the desirability of avoiding them.
Only by immediate action can this situation be avoided.

This projection must be interpreted in the light of certain assump-
232
TOWN OF NORWOOD
tions based upon known and predictable experience. Attached and following are sample calculations which will aid the reader in his appraisal of the problem of additional housing.
The School Committee, in presenting this table, suggests that the fore- going projection be interpreted by the reader with the following in mind:
1. First grade enrolments of Norwood children (parochial and public) are at an all-time high-609. Total enrolment of children attending schools (Parochial and public) in Norwood has risen from 3,636 (the previous high in 1932) to 5,543 and continuing to rise at the rate of 275 per year for the past 5 years. (This year 318)
