There were five open circuits on the fire alarm system during the year, two were caused by automobiles knock- ing over pedestals, one at Massachusetts Avenue and Tufts Street, and the other at Massachusetts Avenue and Trowbridge Street, one by a limb of a tree at Lowell Street and Lowell Street Place, one by linemen working on pole at Robin Hood Road, one by lightning striking the circuit at the Heights.


The Lexington, Somerville and Winchester Mutual Aid circuits were open during the year by lightning strik- ing the lines and operating the protectors at Fire Alarm Headquarters.

REPORT OF THE GYPSY AND BROWN TAIL MOTH DEPARTMENT


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen.


Gentlemen :


I hereby submit my report as superintendant of the Gypsy Moth Department for the year ending December 31, 1933.


The moth situation in this town is equal if not more satisfactory than any town or city in this state.


The work of creosoting the egg clusters of the Gypsy Moth was carried on as usual. The infestation this year has increased some twenty-five per cent over the previous year with some trees having as many as eight or ten egg clusters or more.


During the year whenever property owners re- quested to have their estate sprayed it was done, thereby making a remittance to the town.


The Brown Tail Moth is practically extinct in itself, but there are many people who have mistaken the Tent Caterpillar and Fall Web Worm for this insect on account of its appearance, and many complaints have been re- ceived at this office regarding it, but actually we did not find more than fifteen of these insects.


There was an infestation of the Willow Beetle on some of our Willow trees at Menotomy Rocks Park, on the Pleasant Street shore of Spy Pond, also on some of our Willows at Meadow Brook Park.


272


273


REPORT OF MOTH DEPARTMENT


Last summer the Elm Leaf Beetle defoliated Elm trees in all the New England states, but in this town the damage was very slight. There were two Elm trees in the Arlington Heights section of the town that were af- fected, but care should be given all our stately Elm next summer, as it is a very serious matter.


I had ten men working at the Symmes Arlington Hospital and at the Arlington Heights Reservoir during the latter part of the year under the C.W.A. Program cut- ting underbrush and taking out dead and undesirable trees for the prevention and eradication of the Gypsy Moth without any cost to the town.


The best time to control insect pests of all species is when they are few in number. It can then be done suc- cessfully and economically and I would suggest that this work should still continue.


In conclusion I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen and their Secretary for the courtesy and co-operation they have rendered me during the past year.


Respectfully yours,


GEORGE M. DOLAN, Superintendent.

DEPARTMENT OF POLICE


The net cost of the Police Department for 1933, in- cluding maintenance of Police Headquarters and equip- ment, was $107,650.72, itemized as follows :


Salaries $109,456.17


Maintenance of Building


and Other Expenses 11,222.83


Gross Cost


$120,679.00


Less receipts as follows :


Court fines turned over to Treasurer $ 1,116.52


Radio Contracts

Revolver Licenses

Total Receipts $ 2,082.67


10% of salaries donated.


10,945.61


Total Deductions $13,028.28


Net cost of department for 1933 $107,650.72


Per capita cost based on population of 38,000. $2.83


The net cost per capita of the department is con- siderably lower than any surrounding city or town of comparatively the same size.


The radio equipment which was installed in 1932 has been of great assistance in keeping Arlington compara- tively free from crime. It has proven its worth many times during the past year and has become absolutely necessary for all police departments.


The radio service which we are giving to Lexington, Winchester, and Woburn at a minimum cost to each of $300. per year, has virtually created a second line of


278


ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT


defense partly surrounding Arlington. I expect during the coming year to have Belmont come in with us on this radio hook-up, under the same plan as those already in, and if this happens, Arlington will be completely sur- rounded with radio cars, as Somerville and Cambridge are already equipped and operating on the same fre- quency as Arlington.


If a crime is then committed in Arlington and a message is immediately sent out to all cars in this gen- eral hook-up, the criminal has an excellent chance of being apprehended before he can get through this gen- eral radio hook-up.


The following is the radio record for the year ending December 31, 1933 :


Total number of messages broadcast. 21,567 Calls direct to specified cars :


Arlington patrol cars 4860


Woburn patrol cars 1470


Winchester patrol cars 974


Lexington patrol cars 380


Somerville patrol cars

Total number of calls to specified cars 7,735

Without Warrant 282


By Car No. 7 108


By Car No. 8 178


By Car No. 9. 61


Total arrests by Arlington cars 347


During the time, the Somerville Department were moving to their new headquarters, this department broadcast all messages for them.


279


DEPARTMENT OF POLICE

During the year 1664 complaints were brought to the attention of the courts. 1589 were males; 75 were females; 32 of which were juveniles or persons under 17 years of age. $2,415.00 was imposed as fines and costs. Total imprisonment imposed was 22 years, 8 months. 845 of which were residents and 819 were non-residents.


In addition to the number of complaints made in court, 1797 persons were booked for violation of the automobile laws and traffic rules, and the cards filed as a warning in my office.


Chief attended court 17 days and officers attended 1200 days.


AUTOMOBILE FATALITIES


This year four persons have been killed in Arlington by automobile.

TRAFFIC


The automobile traffic problem has been increasing each year as we find our population increasing and greater numbers of automobiles traveling through Massa- chusetts Avenue.


An automobile traffic count taken in June 1932 by the Engineering Department listed 44,856 automobiles traveling through Arlington Centre in twenty-four hours.


During 1933 we had a total of one hundred-twenty-five automobile accidents on Massachusetts Avenue where persons were injured, two of which were fatal. Twenty- four of these occurred in the Centre.


In my annual report for 1931 I mentioned the fact that it would be necessary to install additional traffic signal lights along Massachusetts Avenue in order to faci- litate the proper handling of traffic and to prevent acci- dents, whenever funds were available for this purpose. I feel that if we are to properly safeguard the welfare of the public, we should install, this year, at least one new set of lights.


I, therefore, recommend that the sum of $900.00 be appropiated for traffic signals.


These lights are to be installed at Massachusetts Avenue and Foster Street, and are to be timed with the lights at Lake Street and the Centre section so that a


281


DEPARTMENT OF POLICE


machine ,starting on the green light at Lake Street traveling west at the rate of 25 miles an hour, would be enabled to proceed completely through the Centre with- out stopping.


At the present time the distance between Lake Street and Franklin Street is too great to prevent con- gestion through the Centre, and the congestion causes a great many avoidable accidents. With this additional light at Foster Street, the traffic that is now allowed to proceed from Lake St. to Franklin Street, where it piles up until that light turns green, will be split up at Foster Street and should relieve the Centre considerably, and at the same time regulating the speed of motor vehicles to 25 miles per hour.


I also recommend that the sidewalk on the north- erly side of Massachusetts Avenue from Medford Street to Mill Street be cut back approximately five feet, as was done two years ago on the southerly side. This has greatly improved the flow of traffic through the Centre and allows greater parking facilities.


Arlington still retains its high standing as a law abiding town, and a clean place in which to live. This is, of course, due in a great measure to the continued efforts of all members of the Department in the enforcement of the laws and the preservation of the peace.


In closing I wish to thank your Honorable Board for your cooperation and assistance during the past year, and all other citizens who have, in any way, assisted the De- partment in their work, and with your continued support, this Department shall endeavor to retain the high stand- ing it now possesses.


Respectfully submitted,


ARCHIE F. BULLOCK Chief of Police.

One thousand nine hundred forty-five (1945) weights and measures were inspected, sealed or con- demned at my office, or at several places of business and statutory fees amounting to the sum of $140.98, were received and paid to the Tax Collector.


During the year at various times I made inspections of package goods and re-weighings of orders ready for delivery in the different places of business. I have re- checked several of the sealed devices, to insure their accuracy.


Through my activities in the inspection of Hawkers and Peddlers, and Transient Vendors the Town Treasurer has received the following sum:


Hawkers' and Peddlers' Licenses. $450.00


285


SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES


As a result of inspections I found it necessary to prosecute 8 cases. All were found guilty and fines amounting to $85.00 were imposed by the Court. In one case the defendant was sentenced to three months in the House of Correction by the Superior Court. Two cases where short measure in the sale of wood was found, resti- tution was made to the purchaser. Two cases in the sale of oysters, short measure was given and restitution was made satisfactory to the purchasers.


Reweighing of coal in transit has been followed up very closely and in addition some deliveries of coal made to the School Department was checked and found to be correct.


Respectfully submitted,


ALLAN E. COWIE,


Sealer of Weights and Measures.

ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT


HIGHWAY DIVISION


In the Maintenance Department of the Highway Di- vision, fourteen thousand, eighty-eight dollars and fifty three cents were spent for the Cleaning of Streets; and for the Maintenance and Repair of Public Ways, $9,300.31. Due to the fact that the concrete surface of Massachu- setts Avenue is beginning to show signs of wear in some places, the maintenance cost increased during the year and $809.28 were spent in keeping this street in repair.


For the Care and Repair of the Storm Drain System during the year the sum of $4,146.55 was expended.


Seven thousand, seven hundred thirty-nine dollars and six cents were expended for the Maintenance of Gravel Sidewalks, and for the Maintenance of Tar and Granolithic Sidewalks, the sum of. $3,667.25.


For the Care and Erection of Street Signs there was expended $1,625.69.


In order to preserve the surface and prevent deterio- ration, $7,745.08 were expended for Tarring Streets.


Fessenden Road was widened at a cost of $243.67, and the widening of Massachusetts Avenue was continued between Lake and Chandler Streets at a cost of $422.73.


RECONSTRUCTION OF STREETS


During the year Medford Street was reconstructed between Chestnut Street and the Medford line, and Pleasant Street was reconstructed for its entire length. Pre-mixed Bituminous Concrete Pavement (type D) was used on both of these streets, the work being done under the Provisions of Chapter 90 of the General Laws, the State and County paying two-thirds of the cost. Payments


289


BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS


made to date amount to $55,690.57, which is not the final cost. For explanation see Table I in this report.


NEW STREET CONSTRUCTION


During the year the following streets were con- structed :


Brooks Avenue, from Lake Street to Varnum Street.


Egerton Road, from Herbert Road to Brooks Avenue.


Margaret Street from Lake Street to southerly side line of Edith Street.


Melrose Street, from Herbert Road to Brooks Ave.


Milton Street, from Herbert Road to Brooks Ave.


These streets were built by the employees of the Public Works Department, assisted by some Welfare labor. The Board is glad to report that although unusual conditions were encountered on Margaret Street which increased the cost very considerably, the total cost of con- struction of all these streets was $5,882.07 less than the original estimated cost of $46,622.93.
