RECOMMENDATIONS
I would recommend that the town make provision for the ap- pointment of a police matron to take charge of female prisoners and to receive compensation for each day that she is in service : the pay to be regulated by the Board of Selectmen.
A police department is one of the most essential things in any community ; to it is intrusted the care and moral welfare of the community, and by it the moral condition of the community is represented.
The primary duty of a police officer is to prevent crime, and failing this, is to procure its punishment.
For this purpose he is invested with broad powers and may perform any act consistent with the rights of others and with the exercise of a sound discretion on his part.
But it should be understood that neither the state nor the muni-
.
Escorts furnished .
1. 1 12
53
cipality whose officer he is, assumes any responsibility for his wrongful action.
Physical and mental ability and moral character should be con- sidered and politics eliminated.
-
The town has, year after year, neglected to provide suitable po- lice protection for its inhabitants, and I want to simply repeat what other chiefs have told you, that is, that the town should have at its command a police department. I will not enter into details in this matter, but I will say this, however, that no man who has the best interest of this town at heart can help but: see that this is true.
I would recommend that you have a Police Department to con- sist of five patrolmen and a chief ; and that for the maintaining of such a department the sum of $5,500, together with the court fines, be appropriated. I would also recommend that not over four special police be assigned for the extra police work.
In conclusion I wish to thank your honorable board for the kindly assistance and advice given me.
To his Honor, Judge Bruce, and his assistant Judges Fernald and Sweetser, and also to the ('lerk of the District Court, Wilfred B. Tyler, and his able assistant, Henry C. Bacon, I wish to ex- tend my sincere thanks for the kind and courteous treatment ac- corded me throughout the year.
To the Special Police officers who have contributed to the success of this department, you have my thanks.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES J. POLLARD,
Chief of Police.

SARAH A. CUTLER,
December 31, 1909.
Treasurer.
Early in the year the Board took up, with the representatives. of the B. & M. R. R., the question of a new freight house and better freight accommodations.
Our requests were cordially received, plans shown and assur- ances given that our wishes would be granted. The Railroad has filled the land on Railroad street preparatory to erecting a new freight house, and have already laid several permanent tracks,. and we now feel assured that by spring or early summer our town will have freight facilities equal to its needs.
The house on [the Flynn property, Albion street, belonging to. the town, was in such a deplorable condition that the Board deemed it inadvisable to repair, and would recommend the sale of the whole property.
A petition was received from residents of Montrose requesting the laying out of a street, connecting Lowell and Salem streets, at
58
or near Wharton Park Place. On account of the question of land damages, action was deferred, but we feel that the residents of that section are entitled to relief.
The Selectmen held a conference with the Water Commissioners in reference to moving their offices to a part of the old police court room, in the Town Hall, but they found it inadequate for their needs.
CONCLUSION
The Board of Selectmen have held, this year, forty-nine regular meetings and five specials.
There have been 3079 orders drawn on the Town Treasurer, aggregating $235,432.21.
Eighty-three building permits have been granted representing an estimated value of $135,815.
Careful attention and consideration have been given to all mat- ters pertaining to the town's welfare.
Our thanks are extended to the several boards of the town for courtesies received, and to the citizens for their cooperation and .support.
