CONCLUSION
This department was unfortunate in losing Chief Alfred W. Good- hue who passed away on May 23rd, 1926, after an illness of sev- eral weeks. His high character and great ability are so well known, that anything that I could say in praise would be superfluous.
The new station was occupied on July 8th and is a building well fitted for the use of this department.
The signal system has been modernized and brought up-to-date with the latest system of flashlights for signalling to the officers, when they are wanted to communicate with headquarters. The work on the signal system is not yet complete, as some of the boxes have not been rebuilt, but this work is under way and should be completed within a short time.
During the rebuilding of the system, it was found that the old cable on Hancock street was in poor condition, some of this has been replaced with new, and I am informed by the Superintendent of Fire Alarm that it will be necessary to renew the rest of it be- fore we can hope for satisfactory results.
We now have seventeen flashlights in service and I would recom- mend that this system be extended each year and new lights added, so that eventually the whole city will be covered.
The motor patrol has proven itself to be a valuable addition to the department. We have two sedans, which are used for this purpose at night, and by the inspectors in making investigations at other times. I would recommend that another auto be purchased for the use of the inspectors as there are four men in that depart- metn with only two cars available in the day-time and none at night.
I believe that something should be done to meet the demands caused by the ever-increasing traffic and I would recommend that some type of automatic traffic signal be installed on Hancock street and at some of the other dangerous intersections.
In conclusion, I wish to thank His Honor, Mayor Barbour and the members of the City Council, the City Auditor and his staff and all other City Officials and employees, who by their encouragement
188
CITY OF QUINCY
and assistance, have aided the police department during the past year.
I also wish to extend my thanks to the justices, clerks and the of- ficers of the District Court, also the District Attorney and his as- sistants for the courtesy and kindness they have shown the mem- bers of the department.
The members of the police department also deserve the highest praise for the efficient manner in which they have discharged their duties in the many trying and often dangerous situations into which their duty takes them.
Respectfully submitted,
ERNEST H. BISHOP, Chief of Police.

192
CITY OF QUINCY
A new house is under construction for the Atlantic district and two new pieces of apparatus have been ordered for the same. An order was passed by the City Council in 1926 calling for ten more permanent men for the purpose of taking care of the new Atlantic station. These men will report for duty on the completion of the station.
In conclusion I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the Mayor and Council for their cooperation with me the past year, and to the officers and members of the department for their val- uable assistance rendered, I wish to thank them all.
Respectfully submitted,
ALFRED L. MEAD, 1

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF BUILDINGS
REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF BUILDINGS
JANUARY, 1st, 1927.
HONORABLE THOMAS J. MCGRATH, Mayor of Quincy, Mass.
DEAR SIR :- I herewith submit the twentieth report of the Build- ing Department for the year ending December 31, 1926. There has been a gradual falling off during the year of building opera- tions, but the city of Quincy has maintained its place, in compari- son with others cities and towns of the Commonwealth.
There have been 978 living apartments constructed during the past year. Fifty business blocks were also constructed which in most instances have been immediately occupied.
As this completes the twentieth year in which the Building Or- dinance has been in force, it may be of interest to present a tabula- tion of the number of permits issued, and the estimated cost of the work proposed in the applications filed during this twenty year period.
The Inspector of Buildings is at work on the revising of the Building Ordinance and it is hoped that the City Council will pass upon the revision at an early date, as several buildings are in pros- pect in which the welfare of the city is concerned and in which the new ordinance would control and be of substantial worth.
