REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN


To the Citizens of the Town of Acton :


We hereby submit to you for your approval the reports of the various departments of the town for the year ending December 31, 1923.


Work on the rebuilding of Main Street (Lowell Road) was con- tinued, 3,000 feet being built, at a cost of $18,909.87; the town road department doing the work.


The State and County have signified a willingness to assist us in carrying on the further rebuilding of the road this coming year, and we recommend that another section be built as this would leave off at a point where the old road is in fairly good condition, and we could then well afford to wait a few years before attempting to complete the work to the Great Road.


Acting under Article 18 we secured a truck and snow plow from the State, and thus far the Superintendent of Streets has done excellent work with this equipment. All work under Articles 28, 29, 30, 31, 32 and 33 has been completed, under Article 35 the lights have been installed from the Maynard line to the house of John E. Berg- lind ; there was not sufficient money left in the appropriation to com- plete this line as called for in the article.


The town maintains 300 street lights at a cost of $4,800.00 a year.


We find the fire apparatus of the town to be in poor condition, its upkeep being considerable, and we recommend to the citizens that they carefully consider the purchase of some new equipment.

STATE POLICE PATROL


The new State Police Patrol is now organized and ready to ren- der that police protection to the citizens of the country districts of the State, for which they were established.


Personnel. The State Police Patrol is composed of young men, thoroughly trained in police work and ready to act quickly and in- telligently in any emergency that may require their services.


Location. State Police Barracks have been located at Framing- ham and Northampton, with Headquarters at the State House, Bos- ton. These three stations are open and ready for business, day and night, Sundays and holidays. They are all connected by telephone, which is never left unattended. A force of officers is constantly held in reserve at the Barracks, ready to respond quickly to any emer- gency call.


Equipment. All State Police Officers are fully armed, have full police power throughout the Commonwealth and are equipped with automobiles, motorcycles and horses for quick transportation. At each of the Barracks there is an automobile ambulance with lung- motor, stretchers, blankets and first-aid equipment, quickly available in case of accident.


How to Call the State Police. Call the operator at the nearest Central Telephone office, saying, "I want the nearest State Police" and give your telephone number, name and location. If it is an emer- gency say, "State Police Emergency." You will be immediately connected with the nearest State Police Station, where you can state the nature of the case requiring their attention. The Detective Branch of the State Police may be notified in the same way.


You are requested to give the above information full publicity to the end that the citizens of your town may at once avail themselves of the services of the State Police, established for their benefit in the event of serious accident or emergency and for their protection against criminals of all kinds.
