The extreme east end of the long north wall, and the continuing walls to the north and east were of log construc- tion, and have entirely given way. The Board recommends an appropriation to rebuild a part of this section in stone with cement cap, and to dredge as required to give a reason- able depth for fishing craft. Such work will place the whole of the deep water wharf property in a usable condition, and with the erection of a frame shanty to be rented to fisher- men, it is felt that a considerable number of craft and a re- sulting business might be attracted by the facilities offered.

The following is the report of the
WAR MEMORIAL
Appropriation $6,920.55 Expenditure $43.67
Upon a Report by a Citizens Committee organized in 1928, and confirming vote of the American Legion Post 166, an article was inserted in the Town Warrant for 1929 carrying an appropriation for the erection of a Memorial to Veterans of All Wars at Fort Phoenix.
The type of memorial considered by the original com- mittee was one which would be constructed to conform to the natural beauty of the site, using the ledge as a back- ground and surface for the placement of a suitable bronze tablet, with such foreground and flank planting, ramps or steps, as would be required to re-condition and beautify in a natural way, the surrounding area.
The selection of the exact site to be used was left to a sub-committee of three: Mr. Whitfield, Mr. Tallman and Mr. Slater. After much consideration of the problem, it was decided that no natural face of the ledge now exposed was of suitable shape or in a suitable condition to receive the sizable tablet required, and that the working of the one face of sufficient size would mean the destruction of the natural beauty of the main rock on the south side.
After a careful survey of the east side of the main rock, it was found that by cutting away the lower portion to the east (which runs up to the high point of ledge by a series of broken slopes) of a natural fault some distance from the high point, a natural vertical face could be made of suitable shape and size to take almost any kind of tablet or other memorial feature desired.
41
The memorial would then face east with the high point of the ledge and fort itself as a background when approached from both the used east entrances to the property. The flattened area in front of the ledge face would be accessible from both the north and south side, making for an unusually effective landscape treatment, both foreground and flanks, with the use of trees such as now exist on the site, and lower wild evergreen planting.
Opinions, other than those of the committee were sought, and upon report, the Selectmen felt that a solution had been found which would give the town a Memorial unusual in character, in full harmony with the rugged character of its surroundings, and one which would dis- tinctly add to the scenic and significant historical attractions for which the Fort is preserved as an Historical Monument.
The solution chosen; that of cutting away a small por- tion of the ledge, already broken into by previous quarry- ing; was chosen with the idea that the general character of the site should not be changed as by the building of some additional monument or structure. The scheme proposed would leave approximately ninety percent of the main ledge projection intact. The use of the natural fault or fissure in the ledge as a wall against which to place the Memorial, would, with proper foreground and landscape treatment, give the effect of having used a natural rock formation.
As a principal part of the landscaping, the working of the ledge would afford the chance to make new and ade- quate root space for the transplanting of grown trees of the variety now fast disappearing from the property due to age and lack of proper protection.
Upon the announcement that work was to be started, a considerable amount of protest came from citizens who felt that the Fort property as it now exists, has a character and beauty which should not be altered in any way.
42
It is possible that if an opinion is secured from some well-known firm of landscape architects, it might influence to a considerable extent the opinions of the citizens who now object to the project on the ground that the existing natural beauty may be destroyed.
In consideration of the protest of the many citizens, the Board decided to bring the matter to the attention of the Town Meeting for further disposition.
POLICE DEPARTMENT
During the past year Walter H. Francis was regularly appointed in charge of the Police Department, and instruc- tions were issued that "Any constable, special constable, police officer, special police officer, or reserve officer will work directly under the supervision of Walter H. Francis, head of the Police Department; and will work under his instructions from the police station only. Each officer, under his instructions, will make an investigation and afterwards turn in a report to him of his doings thereon."
This Board is of the opinion that the work of the Police Department during the past several years deserves much commendation. The results achieved have been due in a large measure to the unfailing energy of Mr. Walter H. Francis to cover the work demanded with an under-manned depart- ment.
The Board recommends that the appropriation for the Department be increased to enable (1) The Police Station to be manned twenty-four hours a day; (2) Regular night patrols to be established between dark and daylight; (3) The Head of the Department to be furnished with a regular clerk to perform all clerical duties which, in the past, Mr. Francis has attempted to do himself. The following is a detailed report of Police Activities submitted by Mr. Francis.
Report of the Police Department
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen :
I have the honor to respectfully submit the Annual report for the Police Department for the year ending Dec- ember 31, 1929.
In the past year all the officers in the department have had instructions and practice in the use of the Inhalator, a piece of equipment used in saving lives from gas poisoning and drowning.
We have also had an instructor, well-trained in using different grips to be used in subduing a prisoner when re- sisting arrest, who came to us free gratis through the courtesy of the New Bedford Police Department, and who instructed all of our officers and familiarized them with the different grips. In the future, I intend to give all of our officers a certain amount of practice in target shooting so that they may become familiar with the use of firearms.
I further intend to give all the police officers talks on general police procedure, these talks to be deliverd by my- self. It has been shown by the good attendance given by the officers that they are interested in their work, which good attendance is greatly appreciated.
Respectfully submitted,
WALTER H. FRANCIS,
In charge of Police Dept.

STREET LIGHTS
Good bright street lights are a great asset to any police department. Brighter and better street lighting in numerous parts of the town will be a great help.

It is observed in looking over the accident reports that there are far fewer accidents in the vicinity of the parks. This shows that the parks with their facilities for children and baseball and football
49
games held at the parks are a great asset in keep- ing the children and young people from the streets ; playing in the streets at any game is dangerous at all times.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
Owing to the continued depression in the mill industry, the demands on the department are exceptionally heavy, but all applications for aid are carefully investigated. We call your attention to the following financial data.

You will note that the town is reimbursed for aid ren- dered to settlements of other cities and towns through the general revenue account, and that the State reimburses the town for aid rendered those having no settlement. You will further note that during the past year we expended altogether $21,960.12, and that the town has returned to it $9,264.82, which becomes a part of Surplus Revenue.
