The two men assigned to this work, in addition to the forego- ing, prepare paint and letter all signs, repair all damaged or defec- tive equipment, including the installation and maintenance of the traffic light signal system.
Motor vehicle traffic conditions are steadily growing worse as the number of motor vehicles increases. The congestion in our business centers is probably greater than in any of the cities and towns of Greater Boston. Routes 2A, 3 and 60 pass directly through Arlington Center, which, of course, is the principal reason for such congestion, and has definitely created a hazardous acci- dent condition. There are no off street parking lots for persons desiring to do business with our merchants, therefore, the lack of parking facilities, together with the congestion, has driven our citizens to other communities to do their shopping. Parking meters, which are to be installed, will help, but will not alleviate the condition entirely.
I, therefore, recommend that a study be made of traffic condi- tions in Arlington, especially in Arlington Center, with the idea in mind of procuring some long-range plan for the rerouting of these through routes and constructing new arteries which will help in the developing of our business centers. This, in my opin- ion, if done properly, will not only alleviate congestion in our business centers, but will attract to our town large business con- cerns, which should increase the income of the town.
JUVENILE DELINQUENCY
During the past year there were two hundred and twenty (220) children, under the age of seventeen years, apprehended by the Department for various crimes, seventeen (17) of which were females, one hundred and seventy-eight (178) Arlington children and forty-two (42) Out of Town children. Twenty-seven (27) of these children were brought before the Court. The others were taken in hand by the Juvenile Officer, who, through his work with the parents, school, church and the child, endeavored to correct
222
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
the delinquent habits of the child. In all cases of property dam- age or larcenies, restitution was made wherever possible to the satisfaction of the injured party.
Although there has been (throughout this great land of ours) a decided increase in crime, Arlington has been fortunate in that it shows a decrease in the overall crime picture, as well as that of the juvenile offenders.
All members of your Police Department have been diligent in their duties throughout the year, and it is well known by the crim- inal element that Arlington is a good place to stay clear of. We shall continue to do everything possible to assist the criminal ele- ment to retain this feeling.
In the investigation of juvenile crime, police experience has definitely determined that in the vast majority of cases the juve- nile's trouble starts because of the lack of proper parental training and supervision in the home. It has been said that "PARENTS" are the world's most influential professional people, yet never trained for their job. Possessing the biggest responsibility in the world: 1. Producing life; 2. Supporting life; 3. Preparing proper background for impressionable life; 4. By nature the original teachers of all human habits-language-religion-cultural ele- ments-morality-manners, etc.
The actions of the child in almost every case reflect the train- ing or lack of proper training given by the parents. Because of the failure of so many parents to properly carry out their responsi- bilities, delinquency in children is a police problem, but the elim- ination or correction of conditions which give rise to it, such as bad home environment, deficiencies in school facilities, lack of properly supervised recreational play centers, is purely a com- munity problem.
In order to combat the problem of delinquency of children, the Auxiliary Police Department, which was organized for the war emergency, have volunteered to assist the regular police depart- ment in their crime prevention program.
Again this year so-called Teen-Age Dances were conducted at the Town Hall, for all of the Senior High School pupils and those Arlington youngsters under twenty-one (21), who were out of school. These dances were held on Friday nights and were well supervised, under the leadership of Jack Keefe and members of the Arlington Auxiliary Police Association. They have proven a decided success, as evidenced by the attendance and lack of crime committed by this age group in Arlington. I strongly recommend their continuance.
In addition to the Friday Night Dances conducted by the Arlington Auxiliary Police Association, they organized and super- vised two baseball leagues for all the boys between the ages of ten to sixteen years, with eight teams in each league, consisting
223
REPORT OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
of fifteen boys on each team. Both Leagues were equipped with full uniforms and all necessary equipment. Baseball, as it was conducted by the Arlington Auxiliary Police Association, under the expert guiding hand of William Sinclair and his committee, proved a decided factor in curbing delinquency in our Town.
The Arlington Auxiliary Police Association has also conducted a very successful Rifle Club, with membership made up of approx- imately one hundred High School students. The instructors in this group, headed by Tom Morgan, are all members and quali- fied instructors in the National Rifle Association.
A large, enthusiastic group of youngsters have been attending classes in Magic, under the expert supervision of Auxiliary Police Officer Walter Taylor and his committee.
I consider the Town of Arlington to be very fortunate to have such a group as the Arlington Auxiliary Police give so freely of their time and effort in this most worthy work, which has proven such a decided success in curbing Juvenile Delinquency.
The finest cooperation has existed between the Superintendent of Schools, the various principals, and this Department in the in- vestigation and correction of delinquency. Credit must also be given to the character building organizations, such as, the churches, the Boys' Club, the Boy and Girl Scouts, the C. Y. O. and other organizations who have done yeoman service for the benefit of Juveniles.
MISCELLANEOUS DUTIES
This particular report section shows the multiplicity of work performed by the members of the Department.
Take the sick and injured cared for; this shows 220 persons. 2,396 separate cases investigated. There were 111 lost children cared for. In some instances, with children three, four and five years of age, they were held at Police Headquarters for hours be- fore parents were aware they were missing.
In addition, investigations were made for several different Fed- eral organizations, many of which overlapped one another. Also many investigations were conducted for various commercial organ- izations throughout the country. Under the head of MISCEL- LANEOUS DUTIES can be found an enormous amount of detail work accomplished.
I am deeply grateful to the members of the Arlington Auxiliary Police Association, who have never failed to assist the Department wherever their services were requested throughout the year.
To the Town, State and Federal Departments I am deeply grateful for their earnest and kind assistance, especially grateful to the Members of my own Department. I sincerely appreciate the wholehearted attention to duty exercised by all Members of this Department during the year. It was through their diligent
224
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
attention to their many duties that Arlington continues to be com- paratively free from crime and a good place in which to live.
In closing I wish to express my sincere appreciation to your Honorable Board, Officials of the Town Government, as well as the Citizens of Arlington, for their splendid assistance and coop- eration during the year.
Respectfully submitted, ARCHIE F. BULLOCK, Chief of Police.

REPORT OF FIRE DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
Honorable Board of Selectmen
Arlington, Massachusetts Gentlemen:
I have the honor to present my Twenty-fifth Annual Report as Chief of the Arlington Fire Department for the year ending Decem- ber 31, 1947.
MANUAL FORCE
The force consists of sixty men: the Chief, two Deputy Chiefs, seven Captains, one Inspector-Fireman with rating of Captain in charge of the Fire and Police Signal System; 6 Lieutenants, 43 Privates, one of whom is assigned to the Fire and Police Signal System; also a Department Surgeon, Dr. Edward W. Feeley, and a Department Secretary, Anna B. Hurley.
The following promotions were made:
Captain Richard J. Tierney, Acting Deputy Chief, January 12. Captain Lorne S. McEwen, Acting Deputy Chief, January 12. Private John E. Canniff, Captain, June 8.
Private James A. Doherty, Captain (temporary), June 22.
Lieutenant Anthony P. Lopez, Captain (temporary), June 22.
On July 13 the following Privates were appointed Lieutenants (temporary) : Francis M. Doherty, Thomas Burchill, Charles J. O'Neil, Harry Cooper, and Robert J. Mahoney.
Appointed five permanent firemen, replacements: Walter M. Siker, May 25; Edward A. Lennon, William P. Lopez, Francis L. Ryan, and John W. Stingel, September 7 (pending establishment of certified list).
RETIREMENTS
Deputy Chief John M. Tierney, appointed Substitute Callman February 1, 1904, Regular Callman January 1, 1905, resigned as Callman January 1, 1920. During those years as Callman he slept in the Highland Fire Station and from eight o'clock in the evening to five o'clock in the morning his service was the same as that of a permanent fireman.
He was appointed a permanent fireman July 18, 1926, Lieutenant December 1, 1929, Captain October 1, 1933, and Deputy Chief December 5, 1933; was retired January 11, 1947, because of the Compulsory Retirement Law.
At the fatal fire of October 27, 1945, Deputy Tierney was severely burned, and after hospitalization for many months re- turned to duty September 9, 1946. Over the years he devoted his
226
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
best efforts to the fire service-a loyal fire fighter and one who never shirked responsibility.
Lieutenant William P. Slattery became a Substitute Callman July 1, 1909, Regular Callman June 1, 1911, and a permanent fireman July 18, 1926. He was appointed Lieutenant December 5, 1933. June 18, 1947, he was retired because of the Compulsory Retirement Law.
Lieutenant Slattery was always a willing worker and a loyal fireman.
Both Deputy Chief Tierney and Lieutenant Slattery served through the period of transition from horse-drawn to motorized apparatus, and from the Callman Fire Department to a department of permanent firemen.
Daniel V. Coughlin, appointed July 25, 1926, was retired June 14, 1947, on disability pension.
He was severely burned at the fire of October 27, 1945, and hos- pitalized for eight consecutive months with intermittent returns for hospital treatment.
"Danny" was a loyal fireman, of splendid character, and it is regretted that injuries forced his retirement.
SEVENTY-HOUR WEEK
On January 1 the Department went on a temporary working schedule of approximately a Seventy-hour Week. On March 14 the Town Meeting voted the acceptance of General Laws, Section 58A of Chapter 48 as inserted by Chapter 638 of the Acts of 1941 -Seventy-hour Week for Firemen.
RELIEF ASSOCIATION
Because of the disastrous fire of October 27, 1945, the necessity for a relief association for our firemen was apparent. On February 5, 1947, the Arlington Firemen's Relief Association, Incorporated, was officially chartered.
APPARATUS
Two ladder trucks, four pumpers and a Special Service Unit are in active service. Two 600-gallon trailer pumps are in reserve for emergency use.
June 3, 1946, contracted for a piece of apparatus at a cost of $19,000. This has not been delivered but is promised for 1948. The latest price for that type of apparatus is approximately $30,000, but Arlington will pay only the 1946 contract price.
The Department responded to 985 calls, of which 188 were Box Alarms, 670 Still Alarms (telephone calls), and 127 Mutual Aid
227
REPORT OF FIRE DEPARTMENT
(out-of-town calls). It is the largest response in the history of the Department. Record of previous years: 962 calls in 1946, 767 in 1945, 795 in 1944, 829 in 1943, and 547 in 1942.
AUXILIARY FIREMEN
The Auxiliary Firemen, always dependable, were very helpful on several occasions, particularly during the brush-fire season when additional assistance was much needed.
FALSE ALARMS
Forty-two false alarms were sounded as compared with 41 in 1946, 47 in 1945, 35 in 1944, 33 in 1943, and 9 in 1942.

REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT SURGEON
Dr. Edward W. Feeley, Department Surgeon, investigated cases where firemen failed to report for duty because of sickness and sub- mitted a written statement as to their physical condition. He in- spected the First Aid and emergency equipment in the department. In addition to responding to many alarms, he submitted the follow- ing report of his activities: office calls 25, station calls 2, house calls 2, physical examinations 5, and drownings 3.
FIRE PREVENTION
Twice each month firemen inspected all places of business and public buildings, a total of 16,659 inspections.
Eight fires occurred in these regularly inspected places, causing a loss of $4,221.01, as compared with 12 in 1946 and a loss of $63,471.36. Record of other years: 9 in 1945, 16 in 1944, 7 in 1943, and 8 in 1942.
BLOCK INSPECTIONS
After one year of Block Inspections (a system whereby an entire company on duty with apparatus inspects within its district) we find it efficient and advantageous. While inspecting the Company is in contact with Fire Department Headquarters through the two- way radio and responds to fires or other emergencies with little delay. It is impossible to determine how many fires are prevented through this frequent and systematic inspection, but we do know that "we have 'em seldom and keep 'em small."
INSPECTION OF DWELLINGS
The Twenty-fourth Annual Inspection of the cellars of every home in Arlington was made during National Fire Prevention Week, October 5-11.
Fourteen fires occurred in residential cellars as compared with 8 in 1946, 12 in 1945, 8 in 1944, 6 in 1943, and 7 in 1942.
The loss of life from careless, preventable fires in dwellings has increased tremendously. Newspapers almost daily carry accounts of these tragic deaths, injuries suffered from burns or leaping from
230
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
windows in an effort to escape the flames, and the narrow escapes of hundreds of others from injury or death.
Cellar fires, dangerous at all times, but especially at night, are at the present time even more dangerous, since one and two-family houses are occupied in many instances by others than the imme- diate family. We have had splendid success in our efforts to pre- vent fires and loss of life in Arlington homes because of the whole- hearted cooperation of the householders.

REPORT OF FIRE DEPARTMENT
FIRE DRILLS IN SCHOOLS
The annual fire drill under the supervision of the officers of the Fire Department was conducted in the public, parochial and private schools.
A record was made of the number of classrooms, pupils, exits used and the time required to vacate each building, a copy of which was sent to the School Department.
Because of the frequent drills held by the principals, it is very evident that the children have been well trained in the proper pro- cedure of leaving the school buildings. In case of emergency the children should evacuate the buildings quickly and orderly with- out danger of panic.
EXTINGUISHERS
Four hundred and ninety-three fire extinguishers were recharged in schools and other public buildings, garages and factories.
TRAINING OF FIREMEN
The Fire Department Drill School held two courses for firemen- training. On April 21 eleven men were trained and on May 19 nine men. Eleven of these were out-of-town firemen.
BUDGET
For the year 1948 I recommend that $201,855.45 be appro- priated, to include the appointment of six additional firemen.
CONCLUSION
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen my sincere thanks for unfailing support and personal interest in the affairs of the Depart- ment. To the Secretary of the Board, James J. Golden, Jr., my deep appreciation for ever-ready helpfulness. To Town Engineer, James M. Keane, always a fireman at heart, for much practical advice and assistance; to the Police Department for continued and fine cooperation; to the officers and men of the Auxiliary Fire De- partment, ready and willing at all times to assist in emergencies; and to my own officers and men for their loyalty and faithfulness, my sincerest gratitude.
Respectfully submitted,
DANIEL B. TIERNEY, Chief, Fire Department.
