To the Selectmen :
Gentlemen :
I have turned over to the Treasurer $347.069.13, the total collection of Taxes for the year 1932, $12,410.96 less than the year 1931. There are many reasons why it has been so much harder to collect Taxes this year than last. Taking everything into consideration I feel as if we have done very well:
60
There is one thing I would like to say, that the several meetings called by the Selectmen to discuss the Tax situation has been a benefit to all interested, and gave everyone attending a chance to understand the condition of the Tax collection in Town.
Mr. Freitas was very willing and able to help us in every way he could, and all attending seemed just as willing. Also the many suggestions from the Selectmen has certainly been helpful.
The Collector's office has worked hard all the year having done the best we know how, and if I am in the same office another year, whatever happens, I shall do just the same in the future as in the past.
JOHN H. STETSON, Tax Collector.
TAX COLLECTOR'S BUDGET FOR THE YEAR 1933
I do not see how we can get through the year if our appro- priation is anything less than in 1932, which was nearly $4,400.00. It was $2,079.00 for the Tax Sale alone, and $1,040.00 for the clerk, also $1,381.00 for all other expenses. I am afraid it will reach $5,000.00 for the year 1933.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN H. STETSON, Tax Collector.
Report of the Police Department
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
I have the honor to respectfully submit the Annual Report for the Police Department for the year ending Dec. 31, 1932.
Taxpayers' Interests a Vital Concern
It becomes my duty to bring to the minds of you gentlemen and all others reading this report a fact of the most profound and important significance. In these times of trouble and stress, through which all of us are now passing, the entire per- sonnel of the police department has been, and is, mindful of the taxpayers' interests and problems. The fact that police busi-
61
ness is a monopoly created by law, vests in the police a most vital concern for the taxpayers' interests-the protection of their lives and property. That the police have been considerate of the taxpayers' problems is shown by their willingness during the past year to work any number of hours I deemed necessary to do the work of the department. On many occasions this has kept day men at work nights and night men at work days with- out extra compensation. This routine and the low pay scale maintained throughout the year have lowered the vitality of the men and brought them financial problems perhaps even more acute than those confronting other citizens or the Town itself.
Work Done in the Interest of Safety
During the year just closed much work has been done in the interest of safety. I have delivered talks in the schools; the department has cooperated with the local safety council and the national safety council by designing and furnishing gratis to those organizations an analysis of accidents for the past three years. This report had 21 classifications, some having as many as 15 subdivisions. A comparison of 1932 and 1931 offenses shows an increase of 77. Seventeen of these represent the in- crease in motor vehicle law. violations carried to court. A set of traffic regulations to be used in connection with the Town's traffic ordinance has been prepared by the department, and the officers join me in the happy anticipation of the time when these regulations will be adopted ; legal signs provided; and the traffic ordinance thus made enforceable.
Time Important Element in Police Work
Those who read the report and compare it with the reports for previous years will notice that almost every phase of police activity has increased greatly. However, merely reading the report will not give the reader an accurate idea as to the time required for the work. For example, the total of several thou- sand investigations includes many that require much thought and many hours or days of effort by one, two, or more officers ; many individual arrests necessitate much inquiry and correspon. dence in addition to the actual serving of process.
