Total. $3,165.25
The above compilation shows an increase in valuation of pro- posed construction of approximately double that of last year and represents the largest year in value of building construction since the year 1930.
During the year permits were issued for the construction of 273 additional apartments, and with the advent of the new Residence D District we look forward to more apartment house construction which will tend to relieve the present housing shortage.
With the supply of plumbing and gas appliances becoming more plentiful, we anticipate an increase in these installations. However, it still remains difficult for plumbers to obtain some of the necessary materials.
I wish to express my appreciation for the cooperation given me by the various boards, officials and employees of the Town.
Respectfully submitted,
PAUL H. MOSSMAN, Inspector of Buildings.

REPORT OF BOARDS OF APPEALS
To the
Honorable Board of Selectmen
Arlington, Massachusetts Gentlemen:
Herewith submitted is the report of the Boards of Appeals, acting under the Building Code and under the Zoning By-Law, for the year ended December 31, 1947.
The Board of Appeal, under the Building Code, heard nineteen (19) appeal cases. In sixteen (16) of these cases the appeal was allowed, there being conditions imposed with respect to four (4) of them. Two (2) appeals were denied. In one (1) case the Board allowed a part of the relief sought, denying the appeal in part. Upon two (2) occasions the Board approved the recommendation of the Inspector of Buildings for the use of substitute materials.
The Zoning Board of Appeals acted upon fifty-two (52) cases throughout the year. Thirty-two (32) of the cases heard were appeals from refusals of the Inspector of Buildings to issue permits requested and twenty (20) cases were presented by way of peti- tions dealing with matters which necessitated no prior applications for permits. Of the appeals heard, the Board acted favorably upon twenty-five (25), imposing conditions upon five (5) of these allowances. Seven (7) appeals were denied. Of the twenty (20) petitions heard, six (6) were denied and (13) thirteen were granted, one (1) with reservations. Upon the request of one (1) petitioner, made during the course of the hearing, leave was granted to with- draw, without prejudice.
At the close of the year there were no matters pending and unheard before either board.
Eleven (11) appeals from decisions of the local boards were taken to the Emergency Housing Authority. Three (3) of these matters involved decisions of the Board of Appeal, under the Build- ing Code. The Emergency Housing Authority sustained the Board of Appeal in one (1) case and reversed it in two (2) cases, one reversal permitting for a limited time use of an improper dwelling unit. The other eight (8) appeals were from decisions of the Zoning Board of Appeals. The Emergency Housing Authority sus- tained the Board in two (2) of its decisions and reversed it upon six (6) occasions, one (1) reversal permitting a use for a limited time only.

During the past year there have been many installations of new equipment to replace older devices used for weighing or measuring. The greatest number of replacements have been in service stations, where new and modern gasoline pumps have been installed. There were several new scales replacing older ones. Some new fuel oil trucks have replaced old ones.
There was turned over to the Town Treasurer the sum of $196.85, received as sealing fees. The Treasurer also received $75.00, as fees for hawkers' and peddlers' licenses.
I greatly appreciate the cooperation of Town Officials and many others who have assisted me in maintaining this department during the past year, and to them I extend my sincere thanks.
Respectfully submitted,
HERBERT L. HUTCHINSON, Sealer of Weights and Measures.

VETERANS' SERVICES DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS' SERVICES
The Honorable Board of Selectmen
Arlington, Mass.
Gentlemen:
Submitted herewith is the third annual report of the Department of Veterans' Services covering the calendar year 1947.
During the year the character of the services furnished the veterans underwent a substantial change. The bulk of the wartime personnel of the Armed Forces of the United States was discharged during the years 1945 and 1946 and had become adjusted to civilian life. Therefore, most of the interviews relating to job rights, bonus payments, photostats of discharges and recording of same, school- ing, Readjustment Allowances, etc., were eliminated. Now the office has settled down to the peacetime task of looking out for the interests of the unadjusted, the disabled and the worthy, needy veterans and their dependents, as well as those who are at present atending school or receiving on-the-job training under the so-called G.I. Bill of Rights. However, a great many contacts are made daily as indicated by the following tabulation:

Total for year 18,276
On the basis of 240 working days each year, approximately 76 contacts are made each day. This is in addition to the routine office work, such as typing, bookkeeping, filing and research work. During the year 4,534 letters were written, 1,201 entries made in the case histories, and 423 applications for veterans' benefits of many sorts were typed.
Employment of veterans presented no problem during 1947. Only 18 calls for men were received from employers, and 33 ap- plicants for employment were quickly placed.
Concerning housing, 26 applicants for apartments were placed in rooms or, as in three cases, in small suites with kitchen privileges. Eighteen persons came forward with offers of rooms for veterans, but not one offer of a vacant apartment was received. Thirty-eight eviction cases were reported to this office. Temporary quarters were found for two families actually evicted with no place to go. The housing situation is still quite critical in Arlington. Many married veterans are living with their relatives or friends under crowded conditions, some veterans' families have been separated for months, and some veterans who have planned to marry have been forced to postpone their weddings until living quarters are available. The critical situation probably will not be alleviated until about 500 new apartments are available for rental purposes.
Mr. Joseph Manley, Contact Representative of the U. S. Vet- erans' Administration, whom your honorable Board has assigned desk space in this office, has done considerable work for the veterans and their relatives in Arlington and vicinity in providing advice, counsel and information concerning claims for benefits provided through the agency of the U. S. Veterans Administration. During the first nine months of the year he spent two days each week in Arlington. In the last three months he has spent only two days per month here. The following tabulation indicates the amount of work performed by Mr. Manley:
Personal contacts 1,138
Telephone contacts 487
Correspondence (letters dictated) 143
Applications for benefits received. 423

VETERANS' SERVICES DEPARTMENT
On January 27, 1947, Mr. Howard H. Litchfield, 91 Everett Street, Arlington, was appointed to the Advisory Board of the Department of Veterans' Services as the representative of organ- ized labor to take the place of the late William H. Doyle. Mr. Litchfield is president of the Cambridge Central Labor Union and vice-president of the Massachusetts State Federation of Labor.
On April 7, 1947, the Director of Veterans' Services was ap- pointed Burial Agent for the ensuing year. During the year three applications for Burial Aid were received. Two were acted upon favorably. The third is pending.
On April 14, 1947, the Director of Veterans' Services was ap- pointed to care for veterans' graves within the Town for the ensuing year. Inspection of the three cemeteries within the Town was made and all graves of veterans were found to be well cared for.
VETERANS' BENEFITS
Disbursements to and on behalf of veterans and their dependents for the period January 1, 1947 to December 31, 1947, inclusive, were as follows:
Veterans' Benefits (State participation to extent of 50% of authorized payments) . $16,392.81
Burial Aid (State participation-to extent of 50% of authorized expenditures) 200.00
Total Disbursements $16,592.81
Reimbursement received by Town Treasurer from the State Treas- urer :
War Allowance $417.00
State Aid 832.50
Military Aid
520.00
Total Reimbursement $1,769.50
Net Expenditures $14,823.31
The reimbursement covers the calendar year 1946. State Aid and Military Aid have been abolished by law. War Allowance expires by law six months after the end of World War Two. Al- though the Massachusetts Legislature has not officially declared the war ended as of a specific date it is not anticipated that there will be more War Allowance cases.
Applications for Veterans' Benefits received. 114
