The request for a Police Signal System is repeated again this year and I urge favorable consideration. Last year's report set forth many of the advantages which the town would derive from the system, showing that it would in- crease the efficiency of this department immeasurably.
The matter has been given further consideration and specifications and estimates prepared which are definite and may be used to contract for the installation of such system.
The following is a list of a few of the Cities and Towns which are similar in population to Plymouth and who have recently installed the Police Signal System.

11 flashlights

..
A Police Signal System such as we are contemplating would increase the efficiency of this department at least forty per-cent.
I therefore respectfully recommend an appropriation of $12000. for the installation of a Police Signal System.
I will again renew my recommendation that the rank of sergeant be installed in this department, he to take charge of the night officers and all night duties in general.

16 Boxes and

As the business of the Police Department is gradually in- creasing from year to year, I therefore recommend that the number of regular Police Officers be increased from six (as now is) to ten.
I respectfully recommend an appropriation of $24,000.00 to defray the expenses of this department for the year 1925.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN ARMSTRONG, Chief of Police.

Ten men and three women.
In the Town Accountant's report appended hereunto will be found a list of our expenditures and reimbursements. The gross cost of the Almshouse was $6,742.48. Deducting from this the reimbursements, $546.55, leaves the net cost $6,195.93.
Under the heading "Building" appears the cost of repairs made during the year, this appears as $546.65, the largest item being the shingling of the wooden extension connected with the rear of the main house. This was covered with a good grade of slate surfaced shingles (asphalt), gutters repaired, etc., at a cost of $295.69; the remainder of the cost being the various small repairs that are found neces- sary from time to time to maintain the plant in good con- dition.
During the summer the usual garden produced a good supply of vegetables for the table, and milk and eggs were
184
produced in sufficient quantities for the use of the house, the surplus being sold with a return in cash of $395.50.
The interest on the Julia P. Robinson Fund amounting to $13.64 was used as directed by the divisor for the benefit of the inmates.
Outside Aid.
During the year 220 persons residing in this town, with 35 living elsewhere but retaining their settlement here, have been aided outside the Almshouse. This is considerably in excess of the number reported last year and includes a num- ber of new cases that were not only expensive at the start but promise to be long continued ; as a matter of fact, some six mothers with twenty-five children have had the use of something like $3,000.00 of our appropriation, and one or two of them are clamoring for more. Thus while our finan- cial report shows a small balance unexpended we have to report two bills rendered late in December, amounting to $1,437.95, that we could not pay and for which we shall have to ask a special appropriation.
