REPORT OF THE FIRE ALARM DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen :
I respectfully submit to you the annual report of the Fire Alarm System for the year 1940.
The Fire Department has the supervision of the installation, repairs, equipment and maintenance of the Fire Alarm Signal System.
WORK DONE DURING THE YEAR
Painted all fire alarm boxes and bands.
Replaced all poor bands on poles.
Put new back-boards on fire alarm boxes where needed.
Checked all circuits daily and cleared the same of grounds.
Inspected and tested all fire alarm boxes monthly and after a severe storm.
Weekly box test at noon on Saturdays.
Renewed 175 cross arms.
Installed 3 six-inch gongs.
Renewed 7500 feet of line wire.
Renewed 2000 feet of telephone wire.
There were 4 open circuits during the year caused by falling trees and wires.
Installed a Master fire alarm box No. 47 on Pond Street, opposite the Noah Torrey School connected to the sprinkler system in the Noah Torrey School.
Installed a Master fire alarm box No. 531 at the Norfolk County Hospital connected to the sprinkler system in Nurses Home and Hospital.
Installed 3 new fire alarm boxes at new locations:
No. 125 Willard and Claremont Streets.
No. 341 Sunnyside Park
No. 512 Jefferson Road.
Installed telephone connections on Mutual Aid line with Holbrook
Connected Weymouth Art Leather Company's fire alarm pull stations to Master box No. 444.
The Town of Braintree now has in service 1 fire alarm whistle signal, which is obsolete and undependable due to the length of time it has been in service (25 yrs.), and is insufficient to be heard in all parts of the Town, as the whistle signal in East Braintree has been condemned and abolished. In time of emergency this means of notification to the people of the Town would be inadequate and unreliable, therefore, I recommend the purchase of 2 fire alarm signal systems, one to be placed on the Central Fire Station and one to be placed on the new fire station in East Braintree.
In conclusion: I wish to extend my sincere thanks to our Tree War- den for the valuable assistance rendered in allowing us to trim trees through which Fire Alarm wires pass, to the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company and to the Braintree Electric Light Department for their co-operation and assistance rendered.
Respectfully submitted,
FRED A. TENNEY,
Superintendent of Fire Alarm.

For the year 1941, I have recommended the addition of three new patrolmen.
I have also recommended the purchase of three new cars. Two now in use to be traded in and the addition of a third car. Have also recommended the installation of Two-way Radio.
If my recommendations are carried out it will be possible to give the townspeople far greater protection by the use of radio equipped cruiser cars.
At this time I wish to extend my sincere thanks to the Honorable Board of Selectmen, the Finance Committee and to all who have co-op- erated with my department during the past year.
Trusting that I shall merit your continued co-operation.

In very few cases was it necessary to issue a tag for a second viola- tion. I feel that the traffic regulations are working out to good advantage.
During the past year we have co-operated with the School Depart- ment and the American Automobile Association in the establishment of School-Boy Patrols in our Grammar Schools. The patrolmen in these

patrols are not allowed to go onto the highways to attempt to direct traffic but are of value in keeping the children in order.
I am heartily in favor of the establishment of a 25 mile per hour speed limit in the town as made by the Selectmen.
Would recommend that some action be taken to relieve the traffic congestion at Hancock, Washington and Plain Streets. In the summer time, especially on Sndays and Holidays, it is practically impossible to travel north or south on Hancock Street at this point, unless an officer is directing traffic.
During the coming year it is planned to keep a "Spot Map" of acci- dents at Police Headquarters so that dangerous intersections can readily be located.

REPORT OF PARK COMMISSIONERS
- To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Gentlemen :
I hereby submit report of the Park Department for 1940.
PRECINCTS 1 and 2
French's Common
The Common was kept in good condition all season, the backstop and wings were rewired. The old tennis court was resurfaced; both courts are now in excellent condition.
Hollingsworth Park
This park was kept in good condition all year. Four inches of loam was put in left field and part of center field and seeded in. the fall: The grass was up before Frost set in. This outfield should be in good con- dition in spring. Softball is played on this park all summer and football in the fall.
Organized Play
Organized Play had another successful season. Each summer brings more youngsters on the parks. The Penniman School grounds .were opened up this past year and had a good attendance all summer; At the end of the season the youngsters went to see a big league ball game and:a trip to the beach. At the end of the season a big Field Day was held on French's Common where prizes were; given out for the winners in different sports. The Park Board again wishes to thank the Selectmen and heads of all departments for the splendid co-operation received this past season.
Respectfully submitted,
R. B. TAYLOR, Chairman H. VINTON, JR., Clerk C. Abell

REPORT OF PARK COMMISSIONERS
January 14, 1941
Report of Park Commissioners
Board of Selectmen
Dears Sirs:
I hereby submit the report of both Adams and Watson Park for the year 1940.
Adams street playground continues to be the meeting place of both the young and old sport lovers. During the season tennis, baseball, soft- ball and football were played. Girls' softball was very popular.
Park upkeep was held to a minimum due to the building of a ball field at Watson Park. The 1941 season will bring much improvement to an already popular playground.
Watson Park had organized play this year. Mothers who had small children were pleased with the fine care given the little ones by the W.P.A. supervisors.
About $1000 was spent on the new ballfield. This field will be ready when the grammar school baseball starts. The sand box, swings and see- saws were used by the small children. Volley ball and football were played by the older children. Sewing was done by a very large class of both young and older girls.
The park department hopes to continue the development of this natural but undeveloped park.
Respectfully submitted, (Signed) CHARLES ABELL, Park Commissioner-Precinct 5 and 6.

TREE WARDEN'S REPORT
To the Citizens of the Town of Braintree
During the year 1940 we were able to take care of many of the broken limbs and dead trees. The original appropriation of three hundred dollars ($300.00) was supplemented by transfers of further funds in the amount of five hundred thirty-three dollars and fifty-seven cents ($533.57) from the reserve funds by the Finance Committee, making a total of eight hundred thirty-three dollars and fifty-seven cents ($833.57) expended.
These funds were expended in removing dead trees, dead and broken branches and limbs on the following streets: Arborway Drive, West, Pond, Cedar, Faxon, Commercial, Cavanaugh, Common, Cherry, Liberty, Middle, River, Union, Washington, Monatiquot, Bickford, School, Adams, Town Hall grounds and Faulkner Place.
The trees of Braintree still show the result of the 1938 hurricane in many places and substantial funds should be appropriated to take care of them.
