The Bureau of Old Age Assistance consisted of Mr. George H. Lowe, Jr. (Chairman) Mr. Ernest W. Davis, both members of the Board of Public Welfare, and Mrs. Semira E. Perry.


As a result of the amendment to the Old Age Assist- ance law, which became operative September 1, 1936, a substantial increase in gross expenditures was anticipated. This legislation enacted to conform with the Federal Social Security law, reduced the age limit from 70 to 65 years and abolished many other obstacles to eligibility. Federal re- imbursement is on the basis of one-half the amount ex- pended in each case, not in excess of $30 monthly, with a State reimbursement of two-thirds of the balance.


Aid to Dependent Children

$6,260.66


Cities and Towns


1,723.94


State


16,905.78 $9,680.38


Net expenditures $18,588.75


This relief was granted to 38 cases, including 150 de- pendent children.


The Mothers' Aid law effective since 1913 was amend- ed by Chapter 413 of the Acts of 1936 and titled "Aid to


245


BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE


Dependent Children." This law as amended, extending the scope of the Mothers' Aid law to include children under 16 years of age living with relatives other than their mothers, conforms to the Federal Social Security Act. This legisla- tion became operative January 1, 1937.


The Federal Government participates in this program and allows reimbursement in an amount equal to one-third of the total sums expended up to $18 monthly for the first and $12 monthly for each of the other dependent children in the same home. The State reimburses one-third of the full amount granted in each case.


Our case load includes widows with dependent children and children under 16 years of age living with relatives, who by reason of death of the parents or other reasons are deprived of parental support. Allowances are granted based on budgetary standards adequate to provide sufficient and dignified support.


Soldiers' Relief


Total expenditures $24,309.18 Relief was granted to 92 veterans, widows of veterans and their families.


State & Military Aid


Total expenditures


$2,388.00


Less reimbursements-State 1,959.50


Net expenditure $428.50


This aid was granted to 16 disabled veterans or their wid- ows and families.


Civilian Conservation Corps


Fifty-one young men, between the ages of 17 and 28, were enrolled in this work during the year and


246


ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT


assigned to camps in various sections of New England. Twenty-five dollars monthly was allotted to the family of the enrollee in each case.


Medical & Dental Clinic


The facilities of the clinic, under the direction of Dr. Edward W. Feeley, were available five afternoons each week to persons on our relief rolls in need of out-patient care. 2,228 visits were made to the clinic during the year.


Dental care was available three mornings each week; 910 visits were made for this care.


This department wishes to express appreciation to Town Departments and officials, Private Relief Agencies, civic organizations, churches and individuals for their co- operation during the year.


Respectfully submitted,


CLIFFORD W. COOK, Agent.

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen


Arlington, Mass.


Gentlemen :


I herewith submit my report as Inspector of Animals for the year ending December 31, 1937.

Total number of calls on dogs and cats 332


Total number of calls on all animals during year .. 339


There was an increase over 1936 of thirteen dog-bite cases, causing twenty or more calls to be made over the previous year.


There were four rabies cases in 1937 as compared with six cases in 1936.


248


ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT


The Rabies Clinic, lasting five days, was well attended, and approximately eight hundred and fifty (850) dogs were vaccinated, which was a much larger number than some towns were able to get together at their Clinics.


I believe we should continue with our Rabies Clinic each year, in order to continue to build up a high resistance in the Town dogs against Rabies.


I wish to thank the members of the Board of Health and the office personnel for their hearty co-operation at all times, and likewise the Police Department for their timely assistance on many occasions.


Respectfully submitted,


CHESTER L. BLAKELY, M.D.V.,

The foregoing compilation of building permits issued during 1937 indicates a substantial increase over the pre- ceding year and represents the most construction work in any year since 1931.


Construction of one-family dwellings has continued to increase over the past few years and with several develop- ments now in progress should maintain this status.


Violations of the Code have occurred but have been taken care of and corrected without the use of Court pro- cedure.


I wish at this time to extend my thanks to your Hon- orable Board and Town officials with whom we are in con- tact for the courtesy and cooperation that has been so kindly extended to me at all times.


Respectfully submitted,


PAUL H. MOSSMAN,


Inspector of Buildings.

ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT


FIRE AND POLICE SIGNAL SYSTEM


January 1, 1938


Honorable Board of Selectmen


Arlington, Massachusetts


Gentlemen:


I have the honor to present my seventh report as Superintendent of the Fire and Police Signal System for the year ending December 31, 1937.


This System was transferred to the Chief of the Fire Department on May 1, 1930. It was formerly in charge of Superintendent William E. Mason. On July 1, 1933, it was separated from the Fire Department and placed in charge of Lester W. Cameron. On September 25, 1934, it was made a Division of the Fire Department.


The salaries of the two men assigned to maintain the Fire and Police Signal System are included in the payroll of the Fire Department.


FIRE ALARM


There were four open circuits in the Fire Alarm Sys- tem: three caused by automobiles breaking pedestals at Massachusetts Avenue-Prentiss Road, Massachusetts Ave- nue-Lancaster Road, Massachusetts Avenue-Allen Street, and the fourth the result of Edison Light wires falling on the Fire Alarm wires on Egerton Road.


Three new Fire Alarm Boxes were installed: Box 863 at Pilgrim Road - Concord Turnpike, Box 843 at Arnold


253


FIRE AND POLICE SIGNAL SYSTEM


Street-Williams Street, and Box 862 at Appleton Street- Rhinecliff Street.


Box 3113, St. Agnes School, Medford Street, was re- moved to a pedestal at the street curb and changed to a master box with one auxiliary box in the school building.


The banjo pedestal at Medford Street-Chestnut Street was struck by an automobile. Four base bolts were broken.


An eight inch call-bell was installed in the boiler room at Fire Headquarters on April 6.


A six inch tapper was removed from the Water De- partment Shop at Hobbs Court on August 21 when the shop was transferred to 1083 Massachusetts Avenue.


A fire, due to a short circuit, made necessary the rewiring of the battery rack at Headquarters.


The Medford Mutual Aid Lines were temporarily re- placed on River Street and Decatur Street for the rebuild- ing of the River Street Bridge on August 20. Three poles were set by the Malden Light Company at no cost to the Town.


December 13, installed wiring for Christmas illumi- nation on the tree at Monument Park, the Town Hall and Highland Station.


A W. P. A. Project of blue printing all the Fire and Police Signal Circuits was completed during the year.


SPECIAL CALLS


45 radio calls answered.


40 persons admitted to their homes.


10 cats rescued from trees or poles.


15 pole transfers made.


254


ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT


POLICE SIGNAL SYSTEM


Three open circuits occurred in the Police Signal Sys- tem: the pedestal on Massachusetts Avenue at the Lexing- ton line was struck by an automobile, and there were two broken wires, one in the underground cable at Massachu- setts Avenue-Schouler Court and the other in the Recall Control Box at Symmes Hospital.


Two hundred and sixty feet of cable were replaced to Police Box 211 at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, the cable had been damaged by a steam shovel on Sherborn Street when that street was under construction.


August 18, Box 46 installed at Park Avenue-Concord Turnpike.


Bank Alarm Box 777 was installed at the Bayburn Cleaners, 1 Broadway, and connected to Police Circuit 2 on September 23.


A used Dodge Truck in excellent mechanical condition was purchased for $300. It is valuable as a reserve truck to replace the fire alarm truck when undergoing repairs and as a supply truck for the Fire Department. Previous to its purchase no suitable truck was available for these purposes.


I recommend an appropriation of $2,290 for the year 1938 to include the purchase of a new body for the Fire Alarm Truck. This body came with a truck purchased in 1926 and was transferred to a chassis procured in 1934. It is now completely worn out.


There is a scarcity of conductors in the underground cables for the Fire Alarm and the Police Signal System and I recommend that cables of sufficient capacity with reserve conductors, in case of breakdown, be purchased, the labor of installing to be done as a W. P. A. Project.

ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT


REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT


January 1, 1938


Honorable Board of Selectmen


Arlington, Massachusetts


Gentlemen :


I have the honor to present my fifteenth annual report as Chief of the Arlington Fire Department for the year ending December 31, 1937.


MANUAL FORCE


The manual force consists of fifty men: the Chief, two Deputy Chiefs, five Captains, one Inspector-fireman assigned to the Fire and Police Signal System, six Lieuten- ants, thirty-five Privates, one of whom is assigned to the Fire and Police Signal System; also a Department Surgeon, Dr. Winslow M. Kingman and a Department Clerk, Anna B. Hurley.


GENERAL MATTERS


Two ladder trucks, four pumping units and a Special Service Unit are in active service.


The City Service Ladder No. 1, (Seagrave), purchased in 1925, has been equipped with booster brakes and a new steering unit. It has been completely overhauled, painted and renumbered Ladder No. 2. On November 6th it was transferred from Headquarters to the Highland Station.


The Old Ladder No. 2 (Robinson) in service since De- cember 1, 1915, was discarded November 1st and later sold for junk.


257


REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT


Ladder No. 4 of Brookline was in service at the High- land Station from November 1st to November 6th.


September 19th, Ladder No. 1, a Seagrave 85-foot three section metal Aerial Ladder was placed in commission at Headquarters; purchase price $18,750.


Engine No. 1 and Engine No. 3 were painted.


A Knox Combination purchased in 1911, used as a supply truck, was dismantled and sold for junk.


A Knox Combination purchased in 1913 is in reserve. A 1000-gallon capacity monitor nozzle is mounted on the deck for use at large fires.


December 24th, a used Buick car was purchased for $900 to replace a 1930 model coupe which was purchased second-hand, December 11, 1933. During the period in service it had travelled 57,427 miles being in continuous use both for fire duty and various inspections of the De- partment. Four tires, purchased February 18, 1935, had travelled approximately 25,000 miles, would have had to be replaced. The car required constant mechanical atten- tion and was not only unreliable but unsafe for the service required in this Department.


The Department responded to 122 Box Alarms, 278 Still (Telephone Calls), 117 Mutual Aid Calls (Out of Town), a total of 517, 41 more than in 1936.

FIRE PREVENTION


The Department made 17,806 twice-a-month inspec- tions of all business places and public buildings throughout the Town. Only five fires occurred in this class of buildings.


Record of previous years : 4 fires occurred in 1936, 7 in 1935, 4 in 1934, 6 in 1932, and 3 in 1931.


All of these inspections were made by firemen "off- duty", a wonderful contribution on their part in the inter- est of fire prevention.


Owners and occupants continue to cooperate in pre- venting fires through a strict observance of the Depart- ment's Fire Prevention Regulations and we may well be proud of the high character of those engaged in business in our community.


DWELLINGS


The firemen for the 14th consecutive year donated their "days-off" for the annual inspection of the cellars of all dwellings.


The cellars of 7,161 dwellings were thoroughly in- spected and a record of existing conditions found in each house is on file at Headquarters.


260


ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT


Of all the fires in dwellings only 12 occurred in cel- lars compared with 9 in 1936, 11 in 1935, 9 in 1934, 11 in 1933, 7 in 1932, 11 in 1931 and 9 in 1930.


Cellar Inspection is a comparatively new field of fire prevention in which our Department was the pioneer. We began in 1924 when there were only 3,918 houses, and it has been a most powerful aid in preventing this dangerous type of fire.


Householders are keenly active in following sugges- tions by inspectors regarding the correction of all cellar hazards.


The following is some data compiled as a result of this inspection :

FIRE DRILLS IN SCHOOLS


Fire drills were given in all public, parochial and pri- vate schools. A record was taken of the number of class- rooms, pupils, exits used, and the time required to vacate each building, a copy of which was sent to the School De- partment.


Pupils of the Arlington schools are safely housed and thoroughly trained for speedy evacuation of the buildings in case of emergency.


Three hundred and sixty-five fire extinguishers were recharged in schools and other public buildings, garages and factories.


I recommend that $124,369.75 be appropriated for the ensuing year.


In conclusion, I sincerely thank the Honorable Board of Selectmen for the unfailing consideration and many courtesies which it has always afforded me; to the Board of Public Works for its willingness to cooperate in matters of common interest; to Town Engineer, James M. Keane, for his valuable assistance; to the Police Department for its generous support; and to my own officers and men who through their loyalty and attention to duty have aided very materially in maintaining the efficiency of the Department.

ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT


REPORT OF THE GYPSY AND BROWN TAIL MOTH DEPARTMENT


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen


Arrlington, Mass.


Gentlemen :


I herewith submit my report of the Gypsy and Brown Tail Moth Department for the year ending December 31, 1937.


The town as a whole is in good condition regarding these injurious insects, but the same attention must be paid in the future as has been done in the past if we want to check them. If this is not done we will have complete defoliation of our trees such as happened in some of our neighboring communities this past summer. The proper method of control is creosoting the egg clusters during the winter months, followed up by spraying in the spring. This work was done during the past year on all our street trees, and on all private estates when requested by the owner, thereby making a remittance to the town.


A new Spray Pump was purchased this year and it proved its worth over and over again, especially on the high and stately elms on Academy, Pleasant and Mystic Streets. The trees on these streets which were so badly affected the year previous by the Elm Leaf Beetle, received two sprayings this year and were practically devoid of any infestation.


The Tent Caterpillar has given this Department con- siderable trouble the past few years, and once again the Garden Club sponsored a Tent Caterpillar week whereby the Girl Scouts, as well as the Boy Scouts cut off approxi- mately fifty thousand (50,000) egg clusters, for which they were awarded prizes.


263


REPORT OF MOTH DEPARTMENT


There was also a W. P. A. project drawn up to elim- inate this pest and during the time it was in progress about one hundred and ten thousand (110,000) egg clusters were cut off and burned. With each cluster containing on an average of two hundred and fifty (250) eggs, you can readily see how many caterpillars were eliminated. There was also a new W. P. A. project drawn up to eliminate all injurious tree pests, which commenced operation December 13, 1937, and at the present writing is still in progress.


There was a slight infestation of other insect pests namely, the Canker Worm, Satin Moth, and Fall Web Worm, but the damage was small and barely noticeable.


The only place where Brown Tail Moths were found was a small colony on Broadway near the Somerville line. They were cut off and burned.


Menotomy Rocks Park and all other property that comes under the jurisdiction of the Park Department was sprayed upon request of the Park Commissioners.


Under the Acts of 1937, Chapter 415, an amendment was made by the Legislature to eliminate all Tent Caterpil- lars, as well as Gypsy and Brown Tail Moths, within the respective jurisdiction of local Moth Superintendents, there- fore much of our time was spent in eliminating this pest, and if they keep increasing, more money will have to be appropriated to combat them.


I have been watching very closely for any symptoms of The Dutch Elm Disease, and am very happy to say that Arlington to my knowledge is clear of it.


In conclusion I want to thank the Board of Selectmen and its Secretary, W. P. A. officials and the Garden Club for their kind and courteous co-operation during the en- tire year.


Respectfully yours, GEORGE M. DOLAN, Superintendent, Arlington Moth Department.
