Conclusion
The year 1920 has been a very busy term for this department, but the absence of serious crime was very noticeable in our city, while serious epidemics of crime were causing much anxiety throughout New England. To our loyal department members is due great credit for this condition and, though several attempts at serious crime were made, the offenders were apprehended. As a result, several members were credited with meritorious marks which will later be of value to the ambitious and deserving officer.
I have several suggestions in mind in my effort to keep our depart- ment's efficiency above criticism, chief of which is the absolute necessity of larger, and more central headquarters. At the present time there appears to be earnest agitation toward securing a suitable station.
Records show a splendid reward for our efforts in regulating traffic conditions, and the addition of another motorcycle, for our heavy auto- mobile traffic in mid-summer and early fall, is recommended.
When my duties as Chief of Police began, I endeavored to convince the policemen that the most efficient work that they could do would be expected always. I asked them to realize that when the time came that record of ability, of zeal, of devotion to duty, and of results accomplished, and nothing else, would help them to advancement.
I believe such advice was accepted in the spirit given, and I take pleasure in thanking the members of the force for the able support rendered. It is also my pleasure to thank, at this time, the various City Officials with whom my duties have brought me in contact. Particularly, to the Judges and attaches of the court, to the City Clerk and assistant, to the City Auditor, and to the City Treasurer do I express grateful appreciation. Also to the members of the Press is due my thanks for their fairness in reporting matters pertaining to this department.
Respectfully submitted,
ALFRED W. GOODHUE, Chief of Police.

REPORT OF OVERSEER OF POOR
Quincy, Mass., January 1, 1921.
To His Honor the Mayor of the City of Quincy:
The Overseer of the Poor, in compliance with the city ordinances, respectfully submits his report for the year ending December 31, 1920.
The Department has aided 225 cases on Outside Poor, many of these being temporary cases but included are our children's cases. This aid is, in our opinion, well expended for constructive and permanent work.
We have aided 47 families under the Mothers' Aid Law and have had three applications which we have investigated and found that they were not eligible for aid. We have closed 12 cases, which have been aided under this act.
We have had 74 cases referred to this department by the Police Dept., Probation Office, and various other sources. These we have investigated and found that some cases should be prosecuted for neglect, which has been done, and 33 of these we have referred to various private agencies.
We appreciate the co-operation of the Associated Charities and various societies which have helped us in our work.
A detailed report of the cost of the department will be found in the following statement.
