ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
In past years I have urged upon parents the necessity of providing the Town Clerk with the names of their children in order that the Re- cords of Birth may be complete.
This effort has met with some degree of success but the results are still far from satisfactory. Look over the list of births for 1915 and see the number reported without any name. These records are not complete and for future reference are practically valueless. Unless you wish your child to go through life with no means of proving the date of his birth, so far as the Town Records are concerned, except by a number, you should give this request the attention which it de- serves.
S. W. GOODWIN, Town Clerk.

ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
Report of the Board of Health
TO THE SELECTMEN OF NORWAY :
Gentlemen :- The Local Board of Health submit the following:
During the past year the town has been fortunate, for it has been spared the infliction of an epidemic of any character. Only a few cases of contagious diseases have been reported, and they are as follows: Tuberculosis, two cases, typhoid fever, two cases, diphtheria, one case, also a few cases of measles and whooping cough.
The number of nuisances reported has been smaller than usual and these have been removed without any trouble.
The number of "colds" so called could be reduced materially, if those so afflicted would avoid public places, and the parents of chil- dren suffering from this condition would keep them out of school dur- ing the continuance of the disease.
We suggest that the school authorities instruct the teachers to send home all such children as they find with this malady.
Respectfully submitted, H. L. BARTLETT, M. D., Sec., DENNIS PIKE, SIMEON HARRIMAN,
Local Board of Health.
