Briefs from the Board of Selectmen meeting, Tuesday, Dec. 11.
Board Votes to Approve $5K for Historical Register Application for Highland Chapel Department of Public Works director Mark Ryan appeared before the Board of Selectmen to request $5,000 to go toward an application for the chapel at the Highland Cemetery to be put on the state Historical Register.

Briefs from Tuesday night's Norwood Board of Selectmen meeting.
Successful Fall for Recreation Dept., Looking Forward to Holiday Season Gerald Miller, Superintendent of the Norwood Recreation Department, addressed the board of selectmen at their Tuesday night meeting to deliver his monthly report.
