REPORT OF SELECTMEN
To the Citizens of the Town of Acton :
We hereby submit to you for your consideration the reports of the various departments of the town for the year ending December 31, 1921.
Your board has endeavored to carry out the wishes and instruc- tions of the town as far as it was possible to do so. Acting under Article 16 of last year's warrant the town's interest in the Benjamin Hapgood property was sold to Miss Hapgood for $3,000.00.
Article 17-The services of the state bridge engineer were se- cured and he recommended a cement bridge at an estimated cost of $10,500.00. This report was made to a special meeting held May 2, at 8 p. m. The town voted to let the building of the bridge by contract to the lowest bidder. Plans, contracts and specifications were drawn up, advertised and let by the state engineer to the lowest bidder, Mr. E. B. Savage. The work was done under the supervision of the state engineer, and was very satisfactory. Notes were issued for $8,500.00 to pay for this work. Bad weather prevented the comple- tion of the work, but it will be finished early in the spring.
By vote of the town taken March 1, 1920, to rebuild road from Maynard line to Wheeler's corner, $20,000 was received from state and county, and notes issued by town for $10,000. Road was rebuilt from Maynard line to the bridge in South Acton. For figures see town accountant's report.
We would suggest that the taxpayers carefully look over the articles of the warrant for the coming annual meeting.
WARREN H. JONES, WILLIAM H. KINGSLEY, ALFRED W. DAVIS.

STATE POLICE PATROL
The new State Police Patrol is now organized and ready to render that police protection to the citizens of the country dis- tricts of the State, for which they were established.
Personnel. The State Police Patrol is composed of young men, thoroughly trained in police work and ready to act quickly and intelligently in any emergency that may require their services.
Location. State Police Barracks have been located at Fram- ingham and Northampton, with Headquarters at the State House, Boston. These three stations are open and ready for business, day and night, Sundays and holidays. They are all connected by tele- phone, which is never left unattended. A force of officers is con- stantly held in reserve at the Barracks, ready to respond quickly to any emergency call.
Equipment. All State Police Officers are fully armed, have full police power throughout the Commonwealth and are equipped with automobiles, motorcycles and horses for quick transportation. At each of the Barracks there is an automobile ambulance with lung-motor, stretchers, blankets and first-aid equipment, quickly available in case of accident.
How to Call the State Police. Call the operator at the nearest Central Telephone office, saying, "I want the nearest State Police" and give your telephone number, name and location. If it is an emergency say, "State Police Emergency." You will be immedi- ately connected with the nearest State Police Station, where you can state the nature of the case requiring their attention. The De- tective Branch of the State Police may be notified in the same way.
You are requested to give the above information full publicity to the end that the citizens of your town may at once avail them- selves of the services of the State Police, established for their bene- fit in the event of serious accident or emergency and for their pro- tection against criminals of all kinds.
