Due to the numerous house breaks, suicides, automo- bile accidents and the investigation of welfare cases, men from this office have worked a total of 963 hours at night for the past year investigating same.
RADIO
During the past year the two-way radio system was completed with the installation of a high frequency radio
276
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
transmitter in four department patrol cars in addition to the receiving equipment installed at Headquarters.
In order to increase the efficiency of the radio service between Arlington and the municipalities Arlington is serv- ing, a telephone turret has been installed in the radio room in which private telephone lines direct from the Police Sta- tion of the other police departments served by Arlington terminate. Through this system the department will be able to talk direct to any of these departments without any telephone charge and a great saving of time. Any of these other departments can talk direct to their own cars simply by having the Arlington Radio Operator throw a key on this turret which connects the other department with the Arlington Radio transmitter.
TRAFFIC
During the year a 28% improvement was made over the previous three year average and Arlington finished in second place in the statewide intercommunity safety con- test.
GARAGE
During the year an addition to the rear of the police garage was completed. The garage now accommodates five automobiles and two motorcycles in addition to having two rooms partitioned off in the rear; the larger of the two is used as the Traffic Shop where all repairs to the traffic signal equipment are made and signs are made and re- painted. The smaller room is used as a Repair Shop for the automobile mechanic.
PATROL WAGON
An appropriation of $3,200.00 is requested for a new combination patrol and ambulance. The old wagon has been in service since 1927 and is a G. M. C. truck chassis with a custom built body. It is equipped with only two
277
DEPARTMENT OF POLICE
wheel brakes and because of its age and the heavy traffic conditions of today I am afraid some day it will be involved in a serious accident. All of the automobiles, today, are equipped with four wheel brakes.
Several of the physicians of Arlington have complained of the carbon monoxide condition when it is being used for ambulance work.
A combination patrol and ambulance similar to the one it is proposed to purchase is now in service at Wey- mouth.
In conclusion I wish to extend my sincere thanks to the Honorable Board of Selectmen for their assistance and cooperation during the year; to all other departments of the Town Government who have cooperated in every pos- sible way during the year, and to those citizens who have rendered valuable assistance. I sincerely appreciate the loyalty and conscientious attention to duty of all the officers of the department. With your continued cooperation and support, the department shall continue to function effici- ently and endeavor to retain the high standing as a law abiding community Arlington now enjoys.
Respectfully submitted,
A. F. BULLOCK,
Chief of Police.

The Weights and Measures enumerated above were in- spected, sealed or condemned in my office or at the several places of business in Arlington, and fees amounting to $213.00 were received and paid over to the Town Treasurer.
During the year many reweighings were made of pack- age goods, and orders ready for delivery. Many checks were made on devices that had been sealed to insure accuracy.
A sum of $425.00 has been received by the Town Treas- urer for Hawker and Peddler licenses.
It was necessary to prosecute 2 cases in Court. Both of these cases were for peddling without a license as re- quired by law. Both were found guilty and one paid a fine of $50.00, the other was placed on file.
Reweighing of Coal has been followed up very closely. Proper certificates and weight being the reason for this close check.
During this year 18,703 gallons of oil were pumped through the Sealers 50 gallon test tank in the process of testing Retail Oil Meters. Many gallons being pumped through the by-pass due to the grade of oil.
Respectfully submitted,
ALLAN E. COWIE,
