ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT


Report of the Fire and Police Signal System


Honorable Board of Selectmen


Arlington, Massachusetts


Gentlemen :


I have the honor as Acting Superintendent of the Fire and Police Signal System to present the Annual Report for the year ending December 31, 1948.


FIRE ALARM


Seventeen open circuits occurred in the Fire Alarm System when pedestals were struck by automobiles, when aerial lines were broken and crossed by Edison lines, and by ground in underground cables.


July 29, Testing Engineers from the Simplex Wire & Cable Company began testing cable on Massachusetts Avenue from Schouler Court to Park Avenue, and splices were made over at Hobbs Court, Forest Street and Daniels Street. The test ended December 1, a report to be filed later.


October 19, employed two men (temporary) to install new signal boxes and repair underground cable on Massachusetts Avenue. Due to budget limitations this work was discontinued November 26.


Installed lines and underground cable for Fire Alarm Box 195, Silk Street-Michael Street; for Fire Alarm Box 8631, Golden Avenue-Corey Lane; and for pedestal for Fire Alarm Box 194, Broadway-Sunnyside Avenue.


November 8, installed Fire Alarm Box 139, Broadway- Oxford Street.


November 9, replaced Fire Alarm Box 245 (Sector) with a Threefold Peerless Succession Box.


November 15, installed Fire Alarm Box 423, Pleasant Street- Peabody Road.


POLICE SIGNAL SYSTEM


Police circuits were interrupted by ground in underground cable and aerial lines in trees.


251


FIRE AND POLICE SIGNAL SYSTEM


August 18, relocated Police Box 321 at Warren Peirce Playground to conform with new fence line.


October 1, installed Police Box 351, Pine Ridge Road-Spring Avenue.


November 5, installed Police Box 126, Chapman Street- Devereaux Street.


SPECIAL CALLS


7 persons admitted to their homes 26 flooded cellars pumped out 7 transfers made of lines to new poles


September 24, the Howard Clock Company began repairing the Town Clock in the steeple of the Unitarian Church, Massa- chusetts Avenue-Pleasant Street. Replaced north, south and west dials, refinished east dial and installed new numbers and hands. The work was completed October 20.


December 13, installed Christmas decorations on Town Hall and Tree at Monument Park.


APPROPRIATION


1948 Appropriation $8,335.64


Expended 8,255.16


Balance


$80.48


RECOMMENDATIONS


For the year 1949 recommend an appropriation of $22,384 which includes the employment of one permanent maintenance man, also the purchase of twelve fire alarm boxes, two police boxes and cable construction on Pleasant Street and Highland Avenue.


Recommended the employment of a man to be trained as signal maintenance man to help Assistant Superintendent, Lester W. Cameron. The Fire and Police Signal System has expanded in proportion to the growth of the Town and now it is beyond the efforts of one man to maintain the System efficiently. The Signal System is really the heart of the fire department service and must be kept in first class working order by routine tests of wiring, installations and appliances.


252


ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT


The need for additional help became acutely apparent in July 1948 when Mr. Cameron was unable to report for duty because of injury. It was therefore necessary to call on the Town of Belmont for assistance when a breakdown occurred in our Signal System. Steps should be taken to provide full protection for future emergencies.


CONCLUSION


To Assistant Superintendent of the Fire and Police Signal System, Lester W. Cameron, for his untiring efforts day and night in effectively maintaining the Signal System even under adverse conditions, my sincerest thanks.


Respectfully submitted,


RICHARD J. TIERNEY, Acting Superintendent Fire and Police Signal System.

Gentlemen :


The Boards of Appeals herewith respectfully submit the report of their activities for the year ended December 31, 1948.

Of these appeals the Board allowed seventeen (17), conditions being imposed with respect to nine (9) of these allowances. Four (4) appeals were denied. Upon three (3) occasions the Board approved the recom- mendations of the Inspector of Buildings for the use of sub- stitute materials. As of the close of the year there was on the docket one (1) case which had been entered but which had not been heard.


There were fifty-three (53) cases heard by the Zoning Board of Appeals. Of these cases forty-two (42) were appeals from refusals of the Inspector of Buildings to issue permits requested and eleven (11) were presented by way of petitions dealing with matters which did not necessitate prior applica- tion for permits. Of the appeals heard, the Board acted favor- ably upon thirty-one (31), there being conditions imposed with respect to six (6) and limitations as to time on two (2). Ten (10) appeals were denied and one (1) was permitted to be withdrawn without prejudice. Of the petitions heard, one (1) was denied and ten (10) were granted, three (3) subject to conditions.

Four (4) of these appeals were from decisions of the Zoning Board of Appeals and two (2) involved cases decided by the Board of Appeal, under the Building Code.

ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT


Report of Arlington Housing Authority


January 18, 1949.


The Board of Selectmen Town of Arlington Arlington 74, Mass.


Gentlemen :


In accordance with the requirements of Section 3 of Article 3 of the Town's By-laws, the Arlington Housing Authority is pleased to submit their first annual report covering their activities and progress during the past five and a half months.


A Special Town Meeting on June 28, 1948, authorized the Housing Authority, and your four appointments were made to us July 12, 1948. On July 16, 1948, the State Housing Board designated the fifth member, Mr. Torsten H. Reenstierna.


With complete appreciation and understanding of the re- sponsibility and trust which has been imposed in the Author- ity, the members met on August 2, 1948, and adopted the by- laws and passed the necessary resolutions for organization. Regular weekly meetings have been held on Mondays, and will continue to be held, in the accommodations at the Robbins House as provided by the Town.


Considerable time was devoted to the selection of possible development sites with the guidance of a State Housing representative. Sufficient progress was made to permit the completion and filing with the State Housing Board of the so-called Part I of the Application for Financial Assistance for the proposed housing development of approximately 100 units. At the direction of the State Housing Board, the Arlington Housing Authority prepared an amended application increasing the size of the proposed development permitting the erection of 124 units. Official confirmation of the State Housing Board's approval of this amended application was received on October 25, 1948, bearing certain qualifications and contingencies which your Board fulfilled. The site ap- proved is in east Arlington bounded by Fremont and Gardner Streets.


Many inquiries were received from architects interested in our project. After careful consideration of these applications, Harold C. Knight of Arlington, associated with Fay, Spofford & Thorndike, engineers, of Boston, was selected as the archi- tect for the project. This was accomplished by November 1,


263


HOUSING AUTHORITY


1948, and John O. Parker, Esq., of Arlington, was engaged as legal counsel for the Authority. Both appointments were sub- quently approved by the State Housing Board.


Frequent meetings were held by the Arlington Housing Authority representatives with various State Housing authori- ties for the purpose of hastening the preparation of Part II as required by the State in our Application for Financial As- sistance. Part II was completed by the Arlington Authority assisted by the architect and engineer and filed with the State Housing Board under date of December 17, 1948. We received the approval of the State Housing Board of our ap- plication under date of January 12, 1949, so that we can now expedite the necessary financial arrangements and detailed construction drawings all of which are necessary for the com- pletion of this project.


The Authority is sincerely appreciative of the cooperation and assistance which the members of the Arlington Joint Board have given to the Arlington Housing Authority in the preparation of the details required by the State.


Very truly yours, W. DALE BARKER, Chairman MYRON D. CHACE, HAROLD E. MAGNUSON, TORSTEN H. REENSTIERNA, HANS TOBIASON, Arlington Housing Authority.
