Nearly doubled resistance to tooth decay is the effect of this new treatment. It is simple and perfectly painless and the protection lasts at least three years, though the discovery is too new for the full duration of protection to be known.

LAW DEPARTMENT Daniel A. J. Doyle City Solicitor May 20, 1949
The Honorable Francis J. O'Neil Mayor of the City of Attleboro City Hall Attleboro, Mass.
My Dear Mr. Mayor:
At this time I am pleased to report there are no cases pending in the Courts against the City of Attleboro involving the zoning laws or claims against the city, with the exception of one in which the city is a stakeholder.
One important case not included in the 1947 report in which the city was sued for a large sum for injuries due to a defect in the highway was decided in favor of the city. There were also some appeals from the Zoaning Board of Appeals in which the decision of the Zoning Board was upheld.
The two cases referred to in the 1947 report as pending in the Supreme Judicial Court have been decided. In one of these cases there was an adverse decision due to loose phraseology in the ordinance. The Planning Board has recommended that the particular ordinance be amended to correct the de- fect pointed out by the decision.
There were many claims by the city for damages to city property cleared through this office with satisfactory results.
It would take too much space to enumerate all the work performed by a City Solicitor, and I think it unnecessary to report in detail as it is incidental to the office. However, there were many opinions rendered during the year and as in previous years, your City Solicitor sat in with the Board of Appeals in executive sessions and also with the Planning Board on invitation.
The duties of the City Solicitor are increasing to such an extent that the time is not far distant when it will no longer be a part time office.
Cordially, Daniel A. J. Doyle,
City Solicitor

To His Honor the Mayor and the Honorable Municipal Council:
Gentlemen:
During the calendar year 1948 the Planning Board held twenty regular meetings with an average attendance of five members. Nine public hearings were held, three on the acceptance of new plats, and six on amendments to the Zoning Ordinance. Hillcrest Oaks Plat was accepted and signed, as was also a slight revision of Westwood Park. The Shaw Plat, held over from last year, was given final approval. Edgewood Park Plat and Cowan Manor were tenta- tively approved but final acceptance was pending at the close of the year. Five of the proposed amendments to the zoning laws were approved and recom- mended to the Municipal Council, one still under advisement at the close of the year.
The Board's subdivision regulations were revised and adopted under Section 81-L of Chapter 41 of the General Laws.
For future consideration the Planning Board recommends the following:
1. Revising of the Zoning Map to date.
2. Development of the Master Plan and Official Map.
3. A survey of the Economic Base of Attleboro and surrounding regions.
4. That the making of Assessors' New Plats be continued until the whole area of the city is platted.
5. Off street parking lots should be acquired and developed to protect the value of the business center.
6. Brook Street widened from Falmouth Street to Park Street.
7. Brook Street extended on city owned right-of-way along the Thacher Brook Drain from Maple Street to South Main Stret.
8. Starkey Avenue widened to fifty feet from Pleasant Street to the N. Y., N. H. and H. Railroad.
9. Sanford Street widened to fifty feet.
10. A building line on Park Street from Morey Street to Brook Street to in- sure possibility of widening Park Street to fifty feet.
11. North Main and North Avenue connected by a new street or the ex- tension of Payson Street.
12. The Hinds plat on Dennis Street to be acquired by the city for either the expansion of Capron Park or as a possible site for High School purposes.
13. Vaults in the City Hall enlarged for storage of Plans and Maps.
14. Revival of the Six Year Plan of Capital Expenditures.
The office of the Planning Board and the Zoning Board of Appeal in the City Hall is the place to bring your questions on zoning. The Board will try to find the right answer, and if you have an idea for making Attleboro a better city in which to live we would be pleased to receive it.
We wish to acknowledge our appreciation of the cooperation we have re- ceived during the year from all departments of the city, especially the Attleboro Chamber of Commerce, the press and the many citizens who have shown their interest-"may their tribe increase."

1948 Expenditures $85,484.88
1949 Budget 89,762.32
February 8, 1949
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the Municipal Council:
Gentlemen:
Herewith is submitted the annual report of the Police Department of the City of Attleboro for the year 1948.
At the outset of this record of the activities of the city's law enforcement agency for the past year I am impelled to state that Attleboro citizens as a whole are a most law abiding and peaceful group. We have had some serious crimes in the past year, and it is noteworthy that in nearly 100 percent of such cases it was determined that no local residents were involved. One of the major problems of law enforcement today is that relating to the operation of motor vehicles on the highways. Attleboro, with 128 iniles of paved roads, including two major and three secondary highways, is necessarily faced with a difficult task in checking on all of the transient traffic which passes through the city.
On the State Public Safety Records, it is recorded that Attleboro had eight deaths due to motor vehicle accidents during the year. Seven of these fatal- ities were recorded on Route One, Washington Street a highway which is trav- eled annually by well over a million drivers. Our department has been active in prosecuting cases of flagrant violation of the driving regulations, and this, no doubt, had some deterrent effect, possibly preventing more deaths. Physi- cal condition of drivers appeared to be a heavy factor in the cause of a major- ity of the deaths, and the drivers involved were almost all from other com- munities or states. It is our aim to continue a close check-up on incidents of negligent driving on these highways, with the hope of holding down the an- nual fatality rate. To do this we must use costly equipment, and maintain it in good working condition.
Twice during the year the city was invaded by criminals who are apparent- ly of professional type, well organized and well equipped. On February 7, 1948, the office safe at the Nerney Mortor Sales Co. was looted, and on March 8, 1948 the safe was removed from the office of the Buster Crafford Co., another motor vehicle sales organization. Quest for the perpetrators of these crimes has been diligently pursued and cooperation of both state and local police in other communities has been excellent, giving strong hope that an eventual so- lution and prosecution will be achieved.
For the first time in many years the city had a capital crime recorded, when on July 6, 1948, Mrs. Marjorie Ganci was shot and killed. In this case, the husband, Jasper Ganci, a resident of North Attleboro, was quickly placed under arrest and his trial for the offence is now pending.
It is due to good work by men of our own department, in close cooperation with North Attleboro Police Officers, that a series of breaks into dwellings in both communities, carly in the year, was halted, and the offenders, mostly of minor age, duly presented in Court and convicted.
45
ANNUAL REPORT
The department recorded a total of 489 arrests on various offences during the year, and 463 automobile drivers were brought to Court for violations of the road laws. Investigation was conducted into 396 motor vehicle accidents in which 135 persons suffered injury, eight resulting fatally. Seven of these were listed on Washington Street and one on Oak Hill Avenue. There were 262 minor accidents in which only property damage was involved.
The Department is manned by a Chief, Lieutenant, Inspector, three Sergeants, and 23 Patrolmen and one Reserve Officer. Automotive equipment includes three motor cycles, all in good condition. Four 1948 cruisers in fair condition; we believe it advisable and good practice to turn these in for new ones, along with one 1946 Ford 4-door sedan which has seen over two years service. We also have an old-time type of patrol wagon, which serves for utility purposes, plus a panel body sedan type vehicle which serves as an emergency ambulance.
I wish at this time to express the deepest appreciation of myself and mem- bers of the Department as a whole, to Mayor Francis J. O'Neil and members of the Municipal Council for the interest and consideration they have shown in and for the Department.
It is a pleasure to record that during the year the Department has en- joyed the fullest co-operation from all agencies involved in law enforcement, and social welfare work which often reveals need for police check-up, officers of the District Court and Police of all neighboring communities. We are grateful for the excellent co-operation received. The Justices of the local Court, the State Motor Vehicles Department, and the Special Police have also been most co-operative.
Respectfully submitted, Peter J. Marron, Chief of Police

Dear Sirs:
I herewith submit the annual report of the Electrical Branch of the Fire Department for the year ending December 31st.
During the past year, several of our boxes have received minor damage from motor vehicles. Included was Box No. 38, which was damaged to the extent of $100.00. The box was immediately placed in service and was paid for out of maintenance funds. The cost of repairs was paid to the City Treasurer but was not voted back for use of this department.
