ANNUAL REPORTS


The above figures are approximate and are based on the general average of amounts carried by the trucks.


The ashes and refuse are being collected with motor trucks on account of the distance to the Medford dumps, which are being used by this department subject to the rules and regula- tions of the Board of Health of the City of Medford.


There is a general increase in the amount of ashes being collected due to the fact so many householders converted their heaters from oil to coal.


The total estimated collections of garbage amounted to 4,000 cords. On August 1, 1942 the city entered into a new garbage contract, the contractor agreeing to furnish Trucks and Chauffeurs, the City supplying the Laborers and collections to be same as previously-two collections a week throughout the year from private dwellings and three times a week from restaurants, stores, etc.


The department as a whole is operating efficiently and with the citizens co-operation we shall continue to carry on in the usual manner.


I wish to thank His Honor the Mayor, the Board of Alder- men and the employees of my department for their co-operation extended during the year.


Respectfully submitted,


JOHN F. MESKELL,

PLANNING BOARD


REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD


March 20, 1944.


To the Honorable, the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen Somerville, Massachusetts


Gentlemen :


The Planning Board of the City of Somerville respectfully submits its report for the year ending December 31, 1943.


Due to the war and the restrictions placed on materials necessary for building and remodeling, no petitions for zoning changes were presented to the Board for action, and therefore, the Board remained rather inactive.


In 1943 the Planning Board became a member of the Massachusetts Federation of Planning Boards; thereby receiv- ing valuable information of state wide activities in this field.


During the latter part of 1943 Harry J. Costello entered the service, becoming the second member of the Planning Board to join the armed forces.


Respectfully submitted,


DAVID B. NISSENBAUM, Chairman

ANNUAL REPORTS


REPORT OF THE LAW DEPARTMENT


March 16, 1944.


To the Honorable, the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen


Gentlemen :


I am pleased to report the activities of the Law Depart- . ment for the year 1943.


The normal business of the department was carried on to- gether with additional work that resulted from the unusual circumstances brought about by the war. The war emergency presented many questions which were submitted to this depart- ment for consideration.


The number of claims arising out of defective sidewalks and streets again declined appreciably in 1943 as compared with 1942, and the number of suits against the city based on claims of this nature was likewise materially lower.


In the appropriation to Damage to Persons and Property Account there was included in 1943 an amount estimated to be sufficient to take care of claims arising other than from ac- cidents resulting from defective ways. This was a change from the practice in the past. Formerly if your Honorable Board voted to reimbuse operators of municipally owned vehicles for judgments obtained against them, resulting from the opera- tion of the vehicles, the money to make the settlement was taken from the department involved. As it seemed to be a better practice to make all settlements out of one account, in 1943 when such settlements were authorized the money was paid from the Damage to Persons and Property Account, so that all damage claims in the past year were paid from that one account.


As in the past years the services of the Law Department were available in 1943 to such other departments as found them necessary Because of the large number of suits that were


347


LAW DEPARTMENT


entered for the Welfare Department in previous years, it was unnecessary in 1943 to commence any further actions. However, in March a case was argued by this department in the Supreme Judicial Court for the Welfare Department of this city. A question of settlement law which had not been heretofore de- cided by the court was involved in that case and the decision of the court upheld the contention of the Welfare Department of Somerville.


The Law Department cooperated with the Board of As- sessors in the matter of appeals taken by property owners to the Appellate Tax Board. It was necessary in only a very few cases that actual trials be had, as the bulk of these appeals were settled by conference between the petitioners and the Board of Assessors.


Considerable work was done by this department in the Land Court in 1943. In the past several years a large num- ber of petitions were filed by the City Treasurer to foreclose tax liens. In many of these cases the taxpayers redeemed, so that the petition was withdrawn, but at the beginning of 1943 a large number of these petitions were still pending. Action was taken to obtain final decrees in these petitions and many were foreclosed. Because the city came into possession of these parcels of real estate, the Acting Mayor appointed a Custodian of Foreclosed Property. The Law Department co- operated with the custodian in making plans to collect rents wherever possible and to sell at public auction as many of the parcels as possible.


I am happy to acknowledge the service rendered this de- partment by Charles L. Doherty, Assistant City Solicitor, Lieutenant Thomas H. Sharry of the Police Department and Inspector of Claims assigned to this office, and Michael J. Tierney who worked with this office in securing information necessary for the Land Court in tax title cases.


I also wish to express my appreciation for the cooperation and pleasant relations existing between this department and Acting Mayor Palmer, members of your Honorable Board, and the officials and employees of this city with whom this depart- ment has been in contact.


Respectfully submitted,


ROBERT J. MULDOON, City Solicitor

ANNUAL REPORTS


REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF ELECTRIC LINES AND LIGHTS


March 24, 1944.


To the Honorable Mayor and the


Board of Aldermen of the City of Somerville


Gentlemen :


I herewith submit the Annual Report of the Department of Electric Lines and Lights from the records on file, for the year ending December 31, 1943 :


INSPECTION OF WIRING IN BUILDINGS


The same policy of strict inspections of electrical wiring and attachments thereto have been carried on as in past years.


The use of unapproved materials and appliances has been constantly condemned by our re-inspection system.


The number of permits issued for work and inspections thereto are as follows:


New work (permits)


678


Inspections (new work)


638


Re-Inspections (new work)


121


Re-Inspections (old work)


1259


Defective Installations (old work)


107


Defective installations remedied


89


Permits issued to Edison Co.

Total fees collected for permits


$823.50


FIRE ALARM SYSTEM


A complete set of new batteries should be installed as the present set is ten years old and a serious disruption of the Edison service for any extended duration would, in all prob- ability, seriously impair the system.


349


ELECTRIC LINES AND LIGHTS


It is of prime importance that an independent auxiliary power supply, of the gasoline driven motor generator type, be installed which would start automatically upon the interrup- tion of our present Edison service and supply sufficient current for our fire alarm system and emergency lighting in head- quarters.


I desire to emphasize the necessity of having several inde- pendent means of notification of alarms of fire between head- quarters and the fire stations. The installation of a Vocalarm System is an efficient and recognized means of accomplishing this. It has proven most satisfactory in the adjacent cities which have installed it. I recommend its installation here.

equipped with auxiliary stations located in various private and public buildings. -


7 Tower strikers (only 3 in service).


25 cable terminal boxes.


9 punching registers.


28 closed circuit tappers and 5 open circuit tappers.


8 closed circuit tappers (secondary ).


13 still alarm bells-local house system.


7 local telephones used as a company service system.


2 private interior telephones consisting of 12 stations.


4 traffic sirens.


11 house call bells.


At the present time only three (3) of the seven (7) tower strikers are in use due to structural conditions. The striking mechanisms are in poor condition due to age and aggravated by being exposed to weather conditions. As these towers have been ruled unsafe or badly in need of repairs, a definite deci- sion as regards their continuation in service should be arrived at. The weight of these bells varies from a minimum of 1000 lbs to a maximum of 3000 lbs excluding the striking mechan- ism. Any failure of the supports to hold this weight which is constantly vibrated by the striking of these bells may prove costly to life and property.


There were 259 trouble calls during the year.


POLICE SIGNAL SYSTEM


The Police Signal equipment is giving good service despite the age of some of the signal boxes. Constant maintenance has kept them in good working order. There were 325 trouble calls of all types during the year.


Number Police Report Calls


378,727


Number of Signal Boxes 92


351.


ELECTRIC LINES AND LIGHTS


The Police Station signal equipment consists of the following:


1 -Type "C" Police Signal Desk


3 -5 circuit Registers.


41-Secondary Batteries.


1 -Charging Panel.


2 -Automatic time and date stamps.


2 -Takeup Reels.


There are also 6 official telephones connected with the Police desk.


It is recommended that an auxiliary power supply equip- ment, independent of the Public Utility Co. systems be pur- chased to supply energy for the Police Signal and Radio Sys- tems. In the event of disruption of the Public Utility and our own Police Signal cable systems, this auxiliary power supply would prove invaluable as it would be possible to maintain our Police Radio.


A new F.M. 2-way Police Radio System is practically com- pleted and is now in use. The transmitter is located at Police Headquarters with remote control stations located in Fire De- partment and Fire Alarm Headquarters respectively.


The system consists of the following :


1-Central Station Transmitter and Receiver.


2-Remote Control Consoles.


1-Vertical Antenna.


1-Lampkin frequency monitor.


1-Tuning Meter.


12-F.M. 2-way mobile radio telephone units.


TRAFFIC SIGNALS


There are 31 intersections controlled by Traffic Signals, 16 of which are equipped with pedestrian push buttons.


There were 313 trouble calls throughout the year.


There are eleven Police Traffic posts equipped with spot- lights in various sections of the city. As these posts are of wood and some are showing signs of decay at base, I recom- mend their replacement with steel poles.


Damage due to automobile collisions with our Fire, Police, and Traffic systems amounted to $1102.67 during the year.

ANNUAL REPORTS


REPORT OF VETERANS' AID AND PENSIONS


March 6, 1944.


To the Honorable, the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen of the City of Somerville


Gentlemen :


I am submitting the annual report of the Soldiers' Relief Department, now known as the Veterans' Aid and Pensions De- partment, in which is presented a tabulated statement show- ing the aid rendered to the Veterans and their dependents of the Civil, Spanish, German, Mexican Border, and World War II wars, for the years ending December 31, 1943.


The amounts spent for the different types of aid are as follows :


Military Aid


$5,143.00


State Aid


3,560.00


Soldiers' Relief


27,774.54


War Allowance


12,183.00


Burials


888.00


Total Expenditures


$49,548.54


War Allowance has increased over the previous year, and we anticipate a much larger expenditure in 1944 on this type of aid, due to the fact that so many married men with families are now being drafted. Military Aid, State Aid and Soldiers' Relief cases should show a large increase as discharged service men will apply for these types of aid. It is expected that the department will assist a great deal in the rehabilitation of men discharged from the service, and this will necessarily re- quire a large medical expense.


Very truly yours,


THOMAS F. MCGRATH,


Commissioner
