REPORT OF POLICE DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Gentlemen :- I herewith submit my report for the year end- ing December 31st, 1926.
Assault and battery 1
Bastardy
1
Larceny
3
Drunkenness
3
Operating under the influence of liquor 1
Illegal sale of liquor 2
Illegal keeping of liquor 1
Illegal manufacturing of liquor 1 Illegal transportation of liquor 1 Default warrant 1
The work of this department is far greater than most o four good citizens realize, and I therefore wish to recommend that at least one regular officer be appointed for duty throughout the town, and that sufficient money be raised to maintain such officer.
Under the present condition the town is not getting the serv- ice from the department that they should, therefore I have made this recommendation.
Respectfully submitted,
ALAN B. FROST. Chief of Police.
