REPORT OF SELECTMEN


Licenses were granted by the Selectmen for the sale of alcoholic bev- erages for the year 1948 to the following, subject to the approval of the State Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission :


Wakefield City Hall Liquor Store, Inc., 6 Water Street


Jeffrey's Package Store, Inc., 354 Main Street


Ignazio Palumbo, Jr., (Palumbo's Annex), 35-37 Albion Street


S. Tine & Sons, Inc., 38-38A Water Street


Receipts from these and other licenses granted during the year 1948 are shown in the Town Accountant's report.


Reports of the various departments under the supervision of the Board of Selectmen and containing complete information, will be found under other and appropriate headings in this report.


Early in the year Harry H. Denning returned from service in World War II and resumed his position as Superintendent of the Highway De- partment.


Acting as the Board of Survey, the Selectmen approved layouts of the following developments and private ways to be opened for public use:


Babson Street


Chapman Road


Houston Street Extension


D Street Extension


Juniper Avenue


Pierce Avenue


Elmcrest Road


Pilgrim Road


All of these streets will be presented to the annual town meeting of 1949 for acceptance as public ways.


Under Chapter 90 Highway work, a short section of Main Street from the Melrose line northerly, was resurfaced; the total job calling for an amount of $20,000 with contributions from the State of $10.000, from the County of $5,000 and appropriation by the town of $5,000. It is hoped that in 1949 a much greater amount can be made available and that the work can commence at a point north of the center of the town, continu- ing southerly through the square.


Councillor Edward Slater of Wakefield, England, visited Wakefield during the week of April 6th. While here he visited the schools, indus- trial plants and historical sites. He was entertained at luncheons by vari- ous local organizations, during which gifts and greetings were exchanged, and during the visit a goodwill broadcast was made direct to Wakefield, England, over short wave.


The annual town meeting of 1948 authorized installation of parking meters in Wakefield and thereafter much time was given to this proposi- tion, by the Board of Selectmen. Several meetings of the Board were devoted to demonstration and consideration of various types of meters, with the idea of installing meters on Main Street and on several streets leading from Main Street in the center of the town. A plan and layout for location of meters was submitted to the State Department of Public Works, which department, under the statutes, must approve arrangements for locating parking meters.


The proposed layout called for angle parking on Main Street and parallel parking on side streets; however, the State Department of Pub- lic Works declined to give their approval for angle parking on Main


104


TOWN OF WAKEFIELD


Street, even though Main Street is an unusually wide thoroughfare as compared to many other municipalities. For this reason further progress has been held up.


Senator George J. Evans, at the request of the Board, has introduced bills in the Legislature which would restore to Wakefield and possibly other cities and towns, the right to determine the location of parking meters and the matter of angle or parallel parking. If a satisfactory solution is reached in this matter, parking meters will undoubtedly be installed during the coming year.


The members of the Board extend their thanks to all those who have in any manner co-operated with them during the past year.

RECOMMENDATIONS


New Police Headquarters. The greatest need of this department is larger and more modern quarters, as we have long outlived our present quarters in the Town Hall.


The present quarters are in no way adapted to present-day police work. We now occupy rooms on the first and second floors and in the basement, all of which are entirely too spread out and too small for our present-day needs. The lockup is located in the furthermost corner of the basement and is a fire-trap. It lacks in sanitary needs and has been condemned by the state authorities. We have no place for females or for juveniles. The department garage which houses department cars and ambulance is located a block away from the police station and this does not help the efficiency of the department.


109


REPORT OF CHIEF OF POLICE


Two years ago, land was purchased by the town on Crescent and Centre Streets as a site for a new police station, and a committee was appointed and empowered to engage an architect to draw up plans for a new building. During the past year the police department has worked with this committee 100% furnishing them what information they desired as to the needs of the department to assist them and the architect in drawing plans for this new building.


These plans now have been completed and approved by the Building Committee, also the Police Department, and will be presented to the next Annual Town Meeting for the approval of the citizens of the town.


I sincerely hope they are approved and the money voted to build new quarters for your police department which is one of your most important departments in the town government.


CONCLUSION


On January 20, 1948 Reserve Officer George Sowyrda resigned as a member of the police department.


February 10, 1948 Francis J. Lynch was appointed a Reserve Officer to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Reserve Officer Sowyrda.


February 10, 1948 Richard A. Curran was appointed a Reserve Officer to fill the vacancy caused by the promotion of James T. Mckeon from Reserve Officer to a Regular Patrolman.


In closing, I wish to express my sincere thanks to the Honorable Board of Selectmen for their cooperation at all times during the past year on matters pertaining to the Police Department.


To William R. Lindsay for his cooperation and interest during the past year on matters pertaining to this department as Committee on Police.


For the cooperation received from all other Town Departments and to the Wakefield Daily Item for the services they have rendered this de- partment and to all other citizens who have aided this department, I wish to express my appreciation.


To the Lieutenant, Sergeants and all the members of the Police De- partment and to my secretary, Miss Dorothy McGrail, my thanks for the faithful discharge of their duties at all times during the year.


Respectfully submitted,


JOHN G. GATES,


Chief of Police

line, booster tank, booster pump, ladders, axes, extinguishers, pump tanks, deluge set, 1,100 gallon water gun mounted, first aid kit, shovels, bars and other equipment. This machine is used mainly to replace such other pieces of hose carrying equipment as may be out of commission for re- pairs. This piece of apparatus is unsafe to operate on the highways and should be replaced at once.


One Dodge Chief's Car purchased in 1948 replacing a 1939 Dodge which had outlived its usefulness. This car carries extra oxygen bottles for resuscitation work, first aid supplies, P & Q door opener, 2-way radio on same wave length as the police radio, and other equipment that has proved to be a valuable asset to the department's equipment.

TOWN OF WAKEFIELD


During the year this department has seen the passing away of one of its members. On May 31, Lieutenant Daniel J. Sullivan passed away following a brief illness. Lieutenant Sullivan was appointed a call man in March 1923 and assigned to Engine 1, and in June 1926 was appointed to the Permanent Force. He was appointed a Lieutenant in July 1946 and served as such until his death. The Fire Department has lost a loyal and efficient officer.


During the year Stanley J. Robbins resigned from the Permanent Force and the vacancy was filled by the appointment of Leon F. Dulong. The vacancy caused by the death of Lieutenant Daniel J. Sullivan was filled by the appointment of William J. O'Neil.


Respectfully submitted, CLIFFORD E. JACOBS, Chief of Fire Department

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS


Rubbish Collection-The town is divided into ten definite routes, with collections made from each section once every two weeks. On account of the constant increase in population and the unlimited amount of refuse put out by the householder, it is becoming more difficult to meet sched- ules. In order to maintain satisfactory service I would recommend that the Town purchase an additional rubbish truck in the near future. I would also recommend that the care and control of the dump be turned over to this department.
