ACCIDENTS


During the year we have had but one serious accident. Driver W. C. Atherton fell through the pole hole at the Central Fire Station and broke his hip. He had been awakened during the night by the stamping of the horses and, arising hastily in the dark, turned the wrong way, going through the door leading to the pole instead of the one to the stairs. He was taken to the Mass. General Hospital where he was confined for about 5 months. He has since returned to duty, although he has not wholly recovered.


SPRINKLING SYSTEM


During the year the Taylor Building and the Miller Piano Factory have been equipped with camplete sprinkling systems. The other large factories in town had been previously equipped with similar fire protection. These up to date precautions mini- mize the chances for big fires in these buildings and also are of inestimable benefit to other buildings in the immediate vicinity.


FINANCIAL


Our financial report will be found in the Auditors' Report and will show an expenditure of $10,538.34. Of this amount $8585 was voted at the spring town meeting and entered into the tax levy. The balance came from the receipts of the department.


57


The earnings from street watering during the past year were $2054.37, and, for lack of appropriation, we received $1780.62, leaving a balance of $273.75 due the department. This, added to the receipts, make the earnings $2231.84. If the same had been received there would be an unexpended balance of $278.40 to be returned to the town.


CONCLUSION


We desire to express to your board our thanks for its assistance, to the members of the department for duties so cheerfully and willingly performed, and to the Finance Committee for their co- operation in bringing this department up to a standard which we believe to be second to none of its size in the state.


Respectfully submitted,

LIQUOR LAW ENFORCEMENTS


There have been 16 successful raids.


While the number of arrests have increased during the year the number of arrests for drunkenness have decreased to a large extent.


RECOMMENDATIONS


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 per- form 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 municipality 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.


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.


In conclusion I wish to thank your honorable board for the kindly assistance and advice given me.


To his Honor, Judge Bruce, and his assistants, Judges Fernald and Sweetser, and also the Clerk 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 accorded me throughout the year.


To all those who have in any way assisted this Department, you have my thanks.


Respectfully submitted,


JAMES J. POLLARD, Chief-of-Police.

This is the first time for about ten years that this department has called for an additional appropriation, but owing to the very dry season and conditions it took ten to fifteen men to put out a fire when under ordinary headway which generally could be ex- tinguished by four.


The returns from all over the State tell the same story.


During the year we have received from our engineers and fire department valuable assistance, rendering their services cheerfully when called upon to do so.


Respectfully submitted,


SAMUEL T. PARKER,


Forest Ward, No. 208.
