Report of Town Clerk
Parents, be sure to record the birth of your child with given name in full.
READ THE LAW!
"Parents, within forty days after the birth of a child, and every householder, within forty days after a birth in his house, shall cause notice thereof to be given to the clerk of the town where such child is born." General Laws, Chapter 46, Section 6.
SOME OF THE MANY REASONS WHY BIRTHS SHOULD BE RECORDED
To establish identity.
To prove nationality.
To prove legitimacy.
To show when the child has a right to enter school.
To show when the child has the right to seek employ- ment under the child labor law.
To establish the right of inheritance to property.
To establish liability to military duty, as well as ex- emption therefrom.
To establish the right to vote.
To qualify to hold title to, and to buy and sell real estate.
To prove the age at which the marriage contract may be entered into.
225
Report of Town Clerk
To establish the right to public office.
To make possible statistical studies of the health con- ditions.
Your co-operation to the end that all births may be properly recorded will be greatly appreciated.
Blanks for returns of births will be furnished upon application to parents, householders, physicians, and registered medical offices as provided in Chapter 46, Sec- tion 15, General Laws.

AMBULANCE SERVICE
The ambulance in its second year of service has made 112 trips in which patients were taken to various hos- pitals or were transferred to their homes. Of this num- ber 107 of the patients were residents and taxpayers. The other 5 were non-residents and a charge for service of the ambulance was billed each patient. These charges totalled $80.00. The mileage covered on these 112 trips totalled 5,151 miles and occupied 318 hours of the officers' time. The officers who have rendered service as drivers and helpers have received much praise in letter and telephone communication from persons ap- preciative of this service.
ALTERATIONS AT THE POLICE STATION
Much needed repairs to the interior of the Police Station were made during the year. A new storeroom was erected in the detention room, making space avail- able for the First Aid Room with toilet facilities, while the room formerly used as a First Aid Room served to enlarge the booking office and created space made necessary by the installation of the radio transmitter.
239
Report of Police Department
The whole interior was repainted and the result pre- sents a brighter and more sanitary condition. An oil burner was installed in the heater, which is not alone more sanitary in our opinion, but should result in some savings on the fuel bill, plus the cost of removing ashes. For this work we are deeply indebted to your Honor- able Board for your consideration and co-operation.
We respectfully recommend that a basement be built beneath the building to provide garage space for the ambulance and other motor vehicle equipment. The heater could and we believe should be placed in the basement-a pistol range for target practice should be provided. We are extremely lacking in respect to tar- get practice and remain one of the few police depart- ments of the state who have not entered in competitive pistol matches. This is due for the most part because of the lack of facilities for pistol practice. We are members of the "New England Police Revolver League" and are constantly being urged to participate in the competitive matches conducted by the League. We are further reminded, a pistol, or revolver in the hands of one unfamiliar with its use is indeed a dangerous situation. An estimate of the cost of this work which we requested has been submitted. For the excavation, carting away of materials, building of supporting walls of cement blocks, cement floor and all work incidental thereto, excepting the replacing of the heater, an esti- mated cost of approximately $1,250.00 has been received.
RADIO TWO-WAY COMMUNICATION
The department is equipped with a two-way com- munication system installed by Mr. Herbert E. Cole of Scituate Harbor at a cost of $720.00. This system consists of a transmitter and receiving set at Police
240
Report of Police Department
Headquarters and a receiving and sending set in the two department cars. Contact can be made almost in- stantly and conversation carried on between the officer on the desk at the police station and the operator in the cruising car, at any point within a radius of six or seven miles of the police station. The value of this service in added efficiency and prompt response in any emergency is almost inestimable. Another interesting feature is the saving resulting from the installation of this service. We had for a two-year period been paying at the rate of $300.00 per year for radio and teletype service to the town of Cohasset. This service is of course no longer required. In addition to this we canceled the service of four telephone and police boxes, thereby effecting a saving of approximately $322.80 annually. The added electric current required to service the radio transmitter is estimated at $5.00 a month or $60.00 addi- tional each year. The service charges and replacements are estimated at $85.00 per year. So it must be obvious that we are at present equipped with a utility which undoubtedly increases the efficiency of service at a con- siderable saving over the methods of communication in the past.
INSPECTION OF COTTAGES
The policy inaugurated by the department some years ago of the periodical inspection of all untenanted homes, cottages and other buildings, during the time when the owners or tenants are away, has been carried on as heretofore. These inspections are made as often as it is possible to do so and every effort is made to visit each untenanted building several times during the period that they are unoccupied. The officer leaves an inspection tag on each visit. The department has re- ceived much commendation from property owners and taxpayers for this service.
241
Report of Police Department
Our thanks and appreciation is extended to your Hon- orable Board for your helpful advice and co-operation; To other Police Departments who have shown a willing- ness at all times to co-ordinate our efforts; To those citizens who co-operated and thereby lent encourage- ment to us in our efforts to serve-we are grateful.
Respectfully submitted,
M. E. STEWART, Chief of Police.

Report of Fire Department
REPORT OF SCITUATE FIRE DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The Board of Fire Engineers present herewith their report for the year ending December 31, 1936, with their recommendations for the ensuing year.
The Board, composed of Frank M. Weymouth, Charles M. Litchfield and Mark W. Murrill, met and organized on May 2, 1936, electing M. W. Murrill as Chief Engineer and Clerk.
On July 15th Mr. Frank M. Weymouth, a valued mem- ber of the Board since 1934, tendered his resignation, due to ill health. He was succeeded by Mr. D. Allen Killeffer.
On November 22, 1936 Mr. Weymouth passed away. He was a most valuable man, a man of vision, with a wide business experience. His passing was a distinct loss to the Board and to the Town of Scituate.
GENERAL
During the past year, the numbering of all houses in town has been completed; it has been of great assis- tance to the Department. When telephoning an alarm of fire, give us the name of your street and house num- ber. This will speed our response considerably.
For many years past, previous Boards have advised the adoption of Building Laws by the Town. We also advise it-if some of our citizens could see the faulty construction and wiring which have caused several bad

fires, we are sure that they too would heartily second our efforts. Fireplace construction in summer homes has been especially dangerous and should be corrected.
FIRE HYDRANTS
Jenkins School-Our Board strongly recommends a project submitted by the Water Commissioners to the School Board, which they now have under advisement, providing for two hydrants at the Jenkins School.
Our Board has recommended to the School Board the installation of a master type fire alarm box, with a re- mote call station on each floor of this building.
We propose the immediate installation of Box 19, opposite the School Building, at an expense to this Department of $121.50. We will install the entire equip- ment, contributing our own labor, providing the School Board furnish the bells, cabinet and remote control stations needed in the School Building itself; necessi- tating an expenditure on their part of about $283.
When the proposed installation is completed, our Board feels that a necessary precaution will have been taken to safeguard the lives and safety of our children in this school.
