REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
At the annual Town Election held March 5, 1934, Mr. Ernest W. Davis was elected a member of the Board of Selectmen for a term of three years. The Board organized with Mr. Leonard Collins as Chairman, and Mr. James J. Golden, Jr., as Secretary.
The regular meetings of the Board are held in the Selectmen's Room, Town Hall, on Monday evenings of each week. Routine matters are considered, interviews are held with heads of departments, hearings are given on petitions as required by law and audiences are given to individuals, committees and delegations by appoint- ment. Due to many important matters confronting the Board during the year many additional meetings have been held on other evenings of the week.
The Board has seen 1934 bring to an end a year that has been unduly weighted with economic distress. It has seen our hopes for better business conditions, for in- creased employment, and for lessened welfare burdens, shattered. Thanks to the voluntary employees contribu- tion of 10% of their salaries during the first six months of the year, together with the great assistance rendered by the E. R. A., the welfare drain upon our Town did not reach the colossal proportions anticipated.
The reports of the Welfare and the Soldiers' Relief De- partments will be found elsewhere in this edition, and will prove illuminating in disclosing the heavy burden of the Town in aiding those in need within our community. The Board is desirous of publicly commending Mr. Clifford W. Cook for his able and conscientious discharge of his du- ties, as Agent of these very important departments.

BOARD OF SELECTMEN
POLICE DEPARTMENT
The paramount duty of our Police Department is serv- ice to the citizens of the Town. Its personnel, equipment, efficiency and morale are assurances of adequate protec- tion to the Public Safety.
The Department continues to maintain and operate its radio broadcasting system, which has proved invaluable, making possible the apprehension of criminals within a few minutes of their having committed a crime. The hook- up with Lexington, Winchester and Woburn at a mini- mum cost to each of $300 per year has been of mutual satisfaction, and furnishes a second line of defense partly surrounding the Town. It is expected that Reading and Stoneham will join in this radio hook-up during the com- ing year.
On April 16, Sergeants Thomas F. Sullivan and Daniel P. Barry were appointed Lieutenants.
The Annual Report of Chief Bullock found elsewhere in this edition will give in more detail the extent of the department's activities.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
The work of this department under the wise and able administration of Chief Tierney has enabled it to con- tinue in the forefront of the Fire Departments of the Commonwealth.
The Department has continued to conduct in co-opera- tion with the State Department of Education, a training school for firemen. The completion of each course has been the occasion of a banquet with suitable exercises and the attendance of officials responsible for this innovation.
The Chief's Annual Report found elsewhere in this edi- tion contains in more detail the accomplishments of the year.

ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
GENERAL MATTERS
On April 16, Arthur W. Sampson was appointed Regis- trar of Voters to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resig- nation of Eben F. Dewing.
The nineteenth of April (Patriots' Day) was observed by suitable exercises arranged for in conjunction with the General Committee of Boston. The local military and pa- triotic organizations co-operated in arranging and carry- ing out the program. Revere and Dawes made their usual visit with their escorts and were entertained at the Town Hall.
The U. S. Government has continued to make available certain funds for the direct relief of the unemployed of the country. During the month of March the Civil Works Administration (C. W. A.) was discontinued and the Fed- eral Emergency Relief Administration (E. R. A.) sub- stituted in its place. The Town is the beneficiary of an allotment of funds each month which have increased monthly from the meagre sum of $12,000 in the month of May to the sum of $35,000 in the month of December. There are at present approximately seven hundred (700) men and women employed under the E.R.A. in Arlington. Projects of a varied nature have been executed and all deemed suitable from the viewpoint of improvement to Town property, relief to Welfare and unemployed.
