ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
At the Annual Town Election, William F. Davis, Jr. was elected a member of the Board of Selectmen for a term of three years. At the first meeting of the Board held thereafter Harold M. Estabrook was elected Chairman, and James J. Golden, Jr. was appointed Secretary.
During the course of the year, the Board held fifty- two (52) regular and eight (8) special meetings for the purpose of administering the affairs of the Town. A brief resume follows of the more important matters acted upon by the Board :
Termination of W. P. A. Projects
In accordance with the directive of the President of the United States, all W. P. A. projects in the Town were terminated during the year. All steps necessary to an orderly liquidation of these projects were taken under the direction of the Board.
Public Administration Survey
In 1942, the Board engaged Public Administration Service to make a survey with respect to position Classi- fication and salary standardization. This firm made an exhaustive study of the subject and submitted a detailed report to the Board, which in turn was presented to and accepted by the Annual Town Meeting. It is believed that this report has been of particular value to the Committee appointed pursuant to vote of the Town Meeting to study and report on the whole question of position classification and salary standardization.
Committee on Public Safety
Under the sterling leadership of Mr. Hollis M. Gott, the Committee on Public Safety has provided the Town with a complete system of civilian defense which is as highly organized and trained as any in the Commonwealth.
213
REPORT OF SELECTMEN
Mr. Gott and all of his associates are deserving of the very real gratitude of the people of Arlington, whom they have served so well.
In cooperation with the War Service Division of the Committee on Public Safety, the Board made available some sixteen (16) different parcels of land belonging to the Town for Victory Gardens. It is believed that the produce from these gardens helped materially to alleviate the food shortage which has been so critical during this war period.
Gift of Ambulance
Through the generosity of Mr. George A. Smith, the Town was presented with an ambulance in memory of Mr. Smith's father, Reverend Samuel Abbott Smith. This am- bulance is to be made available to the Town for the use of persons falling into distress and in need of immediate relief. This gift satisfies a long-standing need of the Town, without imposing any burden on the taxpayers.
Roll of Honor Committee
Under the direction of Timothy J. Buckley, the Roll of Honor Committee raised funds by public subscription for the purchase, installation and maintenance of a per- manent honor roll on which to record the names of those men and women in Arlington who have entered the armed services. On April 19, this honor roll was unveiled at a most appropriate ceremony, at which the Lieutenant Gov- ernor of the Commonwealth delivered the address of the day. To Mr. Buckley and his associates goes the apprecia- tion of the people of the town.
Rationing Board
While the personnel of the Rationing Board continues with Harry J. O'Reilly, Chairman, Milton Estabrook and Earl E. Bolton, during the year Karl M. Place, George W. Hurley and Martin F. Roach were appointed to a Price Con- trol panel by the Board, pursuant to a directive of the O. P. A. administrator. Mr. O'Reilly and his associates
214
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
have given unsparingly of their time and energies in the administration of the difficult and burdensome duties of the Rationing Board. Indicative of the efficiency with which they have conducted the rationing program is the fact that the total expenses ncurred for a two-year period was but $1,600, compared with an expense of $8,000 in- curred by a similar board in a smaller neighboring com- munity for a one-year period.
Appointment of Committees
At the request of the Emergency Public Works Com- mission, the Committee on Advanced Programming and Planning, heretofore appointed by the Board, was desig- nated as a Post-War Public Works Committee, with author- ity to proceed with the preparation of a post-war public works program to be undertaken by the Town as the need arises.
At the request of the Governor of the Commonwealth, the Board appointed a "Conserve Critical Resources Com- mittee" and an Advisory Committee on the rehabilitation of Veterans of World War II.
Conclusion
The Board desires to record here its appreciation for the splendid services rendered the Town by Chiefs Bullock and Tierney of the Police and Fire Departments, and by their officers and men, to the heads and personnel of all departments in the Town under its jurisdiction, and to the members of the appointed boards and committees.
To our very able Secretary, Mr. James J. Golden, Jr., and his staff, we express our gratitude for the highly effi- cient, courteous and dignified manner in which the office of the Board of Selectmen has been conducted.

REPORT OF POLICE DEPARTMENT
On June 23, 1943, Officer Felix Lopez died after ser- ving with the Department since 1913.
On July 3, 1943, Sergeant Thomas R. White died after serving with the Department since 1921. In April, 1942, Sergeant White was granted a leave of absence to enter the Military Service, in which he received a com- mission as First Lieutenant attached to the Provost Mar- shal's Office at Boston. During the past year he was promoted to the rank of Captain and made assistant to the Provost Marshal.
On May 9, 1943, Officer Thomas J. Keefe, who had been a regular member of the Department since 1926, res- igned to accept employment in private industry. The res- ignation of William J. O'Brien was accepted on January 15, 1943.
Provisional Sergeant William L. Olson was promoted to permanent Sergeant on September 1, 1943, to fill the vacancy left by the death of Sergeant Thomas R. White.
The following patrolmen were appointed to fill the above vacancies :
Officer Paul Campbell Officer George Alexie
Officer Peter Greeley Officer William White
JUVENILE DELINQUENCY
Much has been said and written on this subject and it is true that juvenile statistics, compiled by the Federal Bureau of Identification, show a decided increase through- out the country, but here in Arlington, a decrease of seventy cases has been recorded for the past year.
In my report on Juvenile Delinquency this year, which appears on a previous page, I have set forth the school area in which the juvenile lives, as well as the offense. This is done to show where the greatest amount of delin- quency occurs and is no reflection on the school whatever.
226
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
I have found, through my experience with juveniles during the past twenty-three years, that the cause of such del- inquency, in more than ninety percent of all cases coming to the attention of the police, is the lack of proper discipline and training on the part of the parents. The lack of properly supervised Play Areas is also a contributing factor in the delinquency problem.
The training of our Auxiliary Police Force has been continued during the past year, and the attendance at the Monday night meetings has been exceptionally good. A corps of eight instructors was organized (all except one be- ing lawyers). Mr. Herbert Cronin, a former member of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, was assigned to head this group, which carried out an excellent curriculum of training throughout the year. I cannot commend these men too highly for their loyalty and giving of their time and ability to weld together such an efficient group to assist the regular department in any emergency.
I sincerely appreciate the assistance and cooperation of your Honorable Board, all the members of the Auxiliary Police, Officials of the Town Government, as well as those citizens of Arlington who have so willing assisted the De- partment in its work during the year.
Respectfully yours,
ARCHIE F. BULLOCK,
Chief of Police.

AUXILIARY FIRE DEPARTMENT
On several occasions during our busiest year the Aux- iliary Fire Department proved its worth. The men gave their services willingly when requested to assist the regular department in actual fire service and in addition, 30 of their members covered the stations from six o'clock in the evening to 8 o'clock in the morning for a total of 89 con- secutive nights to augment the regular force depleted be- cause of vacancies, sickness or injuries.
Thirty-three false alarms were sounded as compared with 9 in 1942, 23 in 1941, 14 in 1940 and 30 in 1939.
