Resolutions Adopted at the March Meeting, 1897.
A Tribute to the Memory of Ebenezer T. Fogg.
Assembled in annual meeting, we miss from our midst our honored townsman, late Treasurer and long-time Clerk, Ebenezer T. Fogg.
But once before in forty consecutive years has he been absent from these meetings, and his absence to-day forcibly reminds us that we shall see him in earth's familiar places no more.
We feel that his long, faithful and honorable services in various capacities deserve recognition from us today, and that it is fitting that we should record our appreciation of his worth.
During all the years that he kept the records of these meetings our hearts have kept an invisible record in memory of him, of which we would make today's tribute the signa- ture.
The generations that have known him desire to place upon the next annual report and upon the records of the town, so long and beautifully kept by him, this tribute to his charac- ter and worth, thus bequeathing to the generations to come the story of his official life, that the future, also may know that Norwell has produced a citizen of a type to inspire those who may be called to serve the public in all times to come.
In extending our sympathy to the family of the deceased we beg to remind them that while they lament a good hus- band and father, we lament the wise counsellor, accomplished official and personal friend, and rate our sorrow second only to theirs. As they remember him lovingly, we remember him gratefully and appreciatively. He was an honor to his native town, and his native town will ever honor and cherish his memory.
Today, in spite of sorrow, Norwell is glad and proud to have possessed such a citizen, of whom, now that he has ceased from earthly labors, she can say, "Well done good and faithful servant."
T. THOMPSON, JOHN CORTHELL, E. F. BLOOD.
FORTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
TOWN OFFICERS OF NORWELL,
FOR THE YEAR 1897.
To the Citizens of the Town of Norwell :
The Selectmen in presenting their annual statement can report no material change in the financial condition of the town from that of one year ago.
We had a large snow expense for which no appropriation was made. Our incidental expenses were enlarged somewhat by the fire which occurred in Valley Swamp; and but for the valuable assistance rendered by the Hingham Fire Depart- ment and citizens of the town, a far greater loss to property would have been the result.
The cost to the town for support of the poor and soldiers' relief is $2,598.68 as against $2,774.77 expended in these de- partments in 1896.
The almshouse for the past year has been under the super- intendency of Mr. Francis L. Smith and wife. We quote the remarks made by Charles E. Woodbury, Esq., Inspector of Institutions, under whose direction our almshouse was visited, as expressing our sentiments :
" The almshouse is in good condition and under excellent management. Much has been done the past year to improve the interior by new floors, painting and whitening."
10
When we compare this report with that of many others con- cerning almshouses in the State we may justly feel proud of the condition and management of our own. The house has now five inmates.
A franchise has been granted the directors of the Hanover Street Railway Company to construct and operate a street railway from the Hanover and Norwell line through Main street to River street. It was expected when this franchise was granted that the road would immediately be built. As yet no movement in the way of construction has been made, and considerable disappointment occurs in consequence.
We earnestly hope that the early spring may see operations begun that will terminate in the completion of an electric road on Main street.
We have also granted this same company a franchise through Pond street, from Washington street to the Rockland line.
