The Work Projects Administration and Unemploy- ment Relief programs were similarly affected by the im- proved industrial conditions, which, being recognized by the federal government, resulted in general quota re- ductions throughout the year and an unexpended balance remaining from the funds appropriated for various pro- posed projects of approximately forty-two thousand (42,- 000) dollars. The number of unemployed persons residing in Arlington has also been reduced for the foregoing rea- sons and it is the hope of the Board that the conditions which required the establishment of this department may soon disappear, thereby justifying the discontinuance of work of this nature.
During the year 1941 the federal government, upon the application of the Board of Selectmen, approved the Town of Arlington as a participant in the Food Stamp Plan. This has made available to families qualified to re- ceive this type of aid, additional commodities classed by federal authorities as "surplus commodities," to the value of fifty per cent of their food allotments. We desire to ex- press to the officials of the Menotomy Trust Company the

ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
appreciation of the townspeople for their cooperation in making available a fund of ten thousand (10,000) dollars for the establishment of the revolving fund required to place the Plan in operation.
Under Article 55 of the Warrant for the Annual Meet- ing of 1941, the Town Meeting voted to accept the pro- visions of the General Laws making mandatory the grant- ing of one day off in every six to members of the Police De- partment. As reports of other years have indicated, the De- partment was already handicapped by being undermanned and, following the adoption of the plan of one day off in six for each man, coupled with a series of absences caused by illness, it was imperative that the department be in- creased by the addition of three men to avert what consti- tuted a serious lack of protection in the Town. Chief Archie F. Bullock has been active in the development of the affairs of the Committee on Public Safety in Arlington and in the Commonwealth and merits commendation for the excellent auxiliary force which has been trained under the direction of his department for use in possible emergency.
Under the capable guidance of Chief Tierney, the Fire Department continues to serve the Town in an efficient manner. The problem of increasing the manpower of the department to a reasonable number for the protection of the Town, referred to in reports of other years, remains unsolved, but it is hoped that the year 1942 will find the Town in a position to accept the recommendation of the Board for the increase which will allow a practicable num- ber of men to man the mechanical equipment. Chief Tierney has, under the direction of his department, trained an auxiliary fire department which is a credit to the de- partment and an asset to the Town. He has also devoted much time to the study of the Civilian Defense Program in Arlington and has been appointed on the Committee formu- lating the plans for the Commonwealth where commendable work has been the result.

REPORT OF SELECTMEN
A committee consisting of the Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, Chairman of the Finance Committee, Chair- man of the Board of Public Works, Chairman of the Plan- ning Board and the Town Accountant, was appointed by the Board of Selectmen and is known as the Advanced Pro- gramming and Budgeting Committee. The purpose of this Committee is to develop a system of planning for the capi- tal expenditures of the Town over a number of years, thereby providing a measure by which the requirements of the various departments of the Town may be viewed in their relative importance. It is the opinion of the Board of Selectmen that the absence of such a scheme of central planning has been a handicap to all departments in the past. Judging from the informal reports received from the Committee, the results when finally submitted will merit the great amount of time and effort which the Committee is devoting in its preparation of the material for the Plan.
Pursuant to the country's aim to devote every resource toward a successful conclusion of the conflict in which we find ourselves actively engaged, a Rationing Board was ap- pointed by the Board of Selectmen at the request of the Governor of the Commonwealth. Offices for this Board have been temporarily established at Police Headquarters and a part-time executive secretary engaged to carry out the duties of the Rationing Board. As the number of ra- tioned commodities increases, it will undoubtedly be neces- sary for the Board of Selectmen to make more permanent arrangements for the proper functioning of this Board.
This brief resume of the work of this year will indi- cate to the reader that the office of the Board of Selectmen has been required to assume a greatly increased amount of detail as a result of these hitherto unknown activities. We desire to record our commendation of the spirit with which the Secretary of the Board, James J. Golden, Jr., has as- sumed these duties which have required many overtime hours and to express our appreciation to him and to his staff whose members have shared the burden with him.
262
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
In conclusion we would again refer to the additional responsibilities which have been placed upon the heads of departments and reported in the foregoing and to express our appreciation to the heads of these departments and to their members, and also to the members of the Boards and Committees appointed by the Board of Selectmen during the past year. The responsibility for the success of the pro- gram assigned to the Town of Arlington, which includes the bearing of our share of the all-out effort of the United States of America to preserve our rights and liberties as members of this community and state and nation against aggression has not been misplaced and the result in Arling- ton will add materially in the eventual victory of our way of government. 1

REPORT OF THE PUBLIC WELFARE DEPARTMENT
January 1, 1942.
Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Town Hall,
Arlington, Mass.
Gentlemen :-
I herewith submit my report for the Welfare and Soldiers' Relief Departments and the Bureau of Old Age Assistance for the year ending December 31, 1941.
A substantial reduction in expenditures for Welfare Aid as compared with previous years (41% less than 1940) was largely a result of the availability of private employ- ment during the year. The other categories of relief, Old Age Assistance and Aid to Dependent Children, which are not affected directly by unemployment conditions, continued to increase in case load as well as expenditures.

ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
STAMP PLAN
This plan was approved and adopted by the Board of Selectmen and became operative March 10, 1941. Families in all categories of public relief became eligible to purchase these stamps in designated amounts under the provisions and regulations of the Federal Surplus Marketing Admin- istration and State Department of Public Welfare.
From March 10 to December 31, 1941, the amount of $48,252 was expended by relief families for the purchase of food stamps and $23,056 in "Blue Stamps" redeemable at local merchants for certain designated surplus foods, was issued free. Prior to the adoption of this plan surplus foods were stored and distributed directly by the Welfare De- partment. Relief families, local merchants and the Town have benefited as the result of adoption of this plan.

FIRE PREVENTION
The Department made 16,919 inspections of all business places and public buildings. This number is about 400 less than last year due to the fact that we were de- prived of the use of the Deputy Chief's car for a consider- able period. For the past few years since the firemen have been doing inspections on their "off-time" we have used this car to inspect all of the places in the outlying sections.
281
REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
This year the total loss from the four fires in this type of building amounted to $2,131.49. It is ample proof that regular and systematic inspections coordinated with good housekeeping of the owners and proprietors does "put them out before they start."
Record of previous years: 6 in 1940, 3 in 1939, 3 in 1938, 5 in 1937, 4 in 1936, 7 in 1935, 4 in 1934, 3 in 1933, 6 in 1932 and 3 in 1931.
INSPECTION OF DWELLINGS
For the eighteenth consecutive year, firemen willingly gave their time in an effort to keep Arlington's record clean and free from loss of life by dwelling fires.
That the people of Arlington, nearly all of them, are "fire conscious" is well known to the firemen who visit their homes annually. The householders courteously receive the inspectors and are grateful for any advice which will make their homes more free from potential fire hazards.
I would caution all who are saving papers in the inter- est of National Defense to be careful not to "hoard," buť to dispose of them frequently. They should be tied tightly in bundles and should not be stored under the meter board nor near the heater.
