Due to the numerous house breaks, suicides, automobile accidents and the investigation of welfare cases, men from this office have worked a total of 1167 hours at night for the past year investigating same.
TRAFFIC
During the month of December a number of municipalities throughout the State established a 25 miles per hour maximum speed limit at the request of the Registrar of Motor Vehicles in order to ascertain what effect speed had on automobile acci- dents. In every municipality where this experiment was tried there has been a tremendous decrease in motor vehicle acci- dents. Therefore, I recommend to your Honorable Board that a maximum speed limit of thirty (30) miles per hour be estab- lished within the limits of Arlington.
During the year there have been thirty-six accidents occur on Broadway, many of them being accidents in which pedes- trians were injured while trying to cross the street at night. I strongly recommend that a new system of street lighting be installed on this street as quickly as possible in order to pro- vide more protection to the general public. Broadway, as you know, is equipped with the old style lighting system, with all
DEPARTMENT OF POLICE
355
of the lights on one side of the road with a small candle power bulb in each light. This, of course, leaves one side of the street quite dark. During the past three weeks there have been five pedestrian accidents on the dark side of this highway.
During the year a 13% improvement was made over the previous three-year average in spite of our unfortunate record of four fatal accidents during the month of December. Arling- ton finished in sixth place in the State-wide inter-community safety contest.
In conclusion I wish to extend my sincere thanks to the Honorable Board of Selectmen for their assistance and whole hearted cooperation during the past year ; to all of the depart- ments of the Town who have cooperated in every way possible, and to those citizens who have so ably assisted the police where necessary. I sincerely appreciate the loyalty and con- scientious attention to duty of all the officers of the Depart- ment. With your continued cooperation and assistance the Department shall continue to function efficiently for the benefit of all of the law abiding citizens of Arlington.
Respectfully submitted,
ARCHIE F. BULLOCK,
Chief of Police.

During the year many reweighings were made of package goods and orders ready for delivery. Weighing and Measuring devices were also rechecked to insure their accuracy.
A sum of $475.00 has been received by the Town Treasurer for Hawkers' and Peddlers' Licenses.
It was necessary to prosecute 21 cases in Court. Twenty of these defendants were found guilty, one nol-prossed in Superior Court and one found not guilty. The fines imposed, totaling $300.00, were paid, of which the Town receives 50% .
Reweighing of Coal has been followed very closely. Proper certificates and weight being the reason for this close check. The result of this inspection proved very satisfactory.
