The Police Signal System is in good operable condition. By a systematic maintenance check, ordinary troubles are kept to the minimum. However, in order to keep the system operating under all possible conditions, I again recommend the purchase of a standby power unit.
The system consists of the following:
96 Street Signal Boxes
2 Bank Alarm Signal Boxes
1 Type "C" Police Signal Desk
3-5 circuit Registers
35 Secondary Batteries
1 Charging panel - 3 Rectifiers
2
Automatic time and date stamps
2 Takeup reels
5 Official phones connected with police desk
The Police Radio System consists of the following:
1 Central Station Transmitter and Receiver
3 Remote Central Stations
1 Vertical Antenna
1 Lampkin frequency monitor
1 Tuning meter
17 F. M. 2-way mobile radio telephone units
TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYSTEM
A weekly inspection system is maintained as regards checking all traffic light installations, in order to maintain timing in accordance with Massachusetts Department of Public Works permits, as well as general inspection of all working parts, thereby eliminating many night and weekend trouble calls. Some of our controllers are 17 to 18 years old, and are now obsolete as regards obtaining new parts. I recommend a gradual replacement of same. Five new installations were placed in operation during the year: Magoun Square, Ball Square Bridge, Summer & Lowell Sts., Wilson Square, and Washington St. at Lincoln Park.
The System consists of 30 intersections, 19 of which are equipped with pedestrian push-buttons.
SUPERVISION OF POLES AND WIRES ON THE STREETS
Constant attention and inspection of the condition of poles and wires has been given in conjunction with the companies owning or using same. During 1951 work will continue on

SANITARY DEPARTMENT
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 rubbish being collected due to the fact, so many householders converted their heaters from coal to oil.
The total estimated collection of garbage amounted to 4200 cords, the work is being done by a contractor who fur- nishes trucks and chauffeurs, the City supplying the laborers and collections to be the same as previously, namely: - 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-opera- tion extended during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN F. MESKELL, Supt. Sanitary Department.

ANNUAL REPORTS
REPORT OF THE LAW DEPARTMENT
March 27, 1951
The Honorable, the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen Somerville, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I herewith respectfully submit the annual report of the Law Department for the year 1950.
There was a marked increase in the number of claims aris- ing out of defective sidewalks and streets. Whenever war- ranted, settlement was made in these matters, and in several instances court action was instituted.
The services of the Law Department were available during 1950, as in past years, to such other departments as found them necessary. Several suits were entered for the Welfare Department in settlement cases; bonds and mortgages were drawn for the Old Age Assistance Bureau; assistance was given to the Board of Assessors in the matter of appeals taken by property owners to the Appellate Tax Board and to the City Treasurer's office in connection with Land Court proceedings and foreclosures.
I am happy to acknowledge the service rendered this de- partment by Arthur A. Forte and Mary A. Kerwin, Assistant City Solicitors, and Officer Thomas J. Flanagan of the Police Department and Inspector of Claims assigned to this office.
I, also, wish to express my appreciation for the cooperation and pleasant relations existing between this department and his Honor, Mayor Lynch, members of your Honorable Board, and the officials and employees of this city with whom this de- partment has been in contact.
Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT J. MULDOON, City Solicitor

ANNUAL REPORTS
REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
The Honorable, the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen Somerville, Massachusetts
June 21, 1951.
Gentlemen:
The Planning Board of the City of Somerville herewith respectfully submits its annual report for the year 1950.
Applications for zoning changes were acted upon, after public hearings, and recommendations forwarded to the Board of Aldermen for final action. All monies received in connec- tion therewith have been turned over to the City Treasurer and incorporated in his report.
The Planning Board has frequently conferred with repre- sentatives of the city government, including your Honorable Board, with regard to the necessity of supplementing the present Planning Board with a properly trained city planner, civil engineer and such other clerical and technical assistants as considered necessary for the board to operate efficiently. The need for a city planner and staff has not been lessened to any extent since our last annual report, especially in the light of the rapidly expanding highway program which is gradually reaching the borders of Somerville and might cause irreparable damage if proper consideration has not been made in advance.
During 1950, at the recommendation of the Planning Board, there was filed and approved by the Board of Aldermen an application in behalf of the City of Somerville to participate in the Urban Redevelopment Program, which has resulted in the ear-marking of $360,000 for this particular program in Somerville.
Also, during 1950, there has been considerable discussion about an improved Planning Board, together with suggestions that the powers of the Planning Board be enlarged. It is the opinion of the Planning Board that the ordinances presently in
365
PLANNING BOARD
effect are broad enough to give the present board sufficient authority to efficiently operate, providing adequate funds were appropriated and approved, so that it could hire and maintain an efficient technical staff. The board recommends that funds for such a program be made available at a very early date, so that the Planning Board of Somerville can play an essential and necessary part in the general redevelopment program which is facing Somerville at the present time.
Respectfully submitted, PLANNING BOARD ERNEST BRENNER, Chairman

JURORS
In accordance with Chapter 234 of the General Laws, as amended by Chapter 211 of the Acts of 1924, the Election Commissioners prepared a list of the inhabitants of Somerville, liable to serve as jurors.
The Board has established a system, whereby, each person, provisionally selected for jury service, fills out a questionnaire and appears before a member of the Board at the office and makes oath to the statements contained therein. This gives the Board an opportunity to meet each individual and note, if any, his physical defects or disability to render the county the ser- vice that would be required of him as a juror. These personal examinations also, enable the Board to know the educational qualifications of each prospective juror.
The jury list prepared by the Board for the year 1950 con- tains the names of twelve hundred and fourteen (1214) citi- zens.
