I would recommend that two additional men be appointed for night duty in the central part of the town, thus placing four men in the large territory between Lothrop and Winter streets, which two men are now attempting to cover. This will insure a more effective patrol and will furnish a force to meet any ordinary emergency.
I also recommend that an automobile be purchased for the use of the department. It would be of great service in the night patrolling of the town, and also in those cases where time is an important element. In those cases where an automobile has been used, it has fully demonstrated its usefulness, and I urge favorable consideration of the article in the Town Warrant on this subject.
Very respectfully, ARTHUR R. GLEDHILL.
Chief of Police.
