The nomination of Bernard Schimpfke for Inspector of Animals was submitted and approved.

At a special meeting with the Board of Library Trustees, Mrs. Isabel G. Hedges was unanimously elected to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mrs. Ida C. Lucas.
Police
Two new motorcycles were purchased chiefly for traffic duty and they have clearly proven their value by the record of fewer accidents along our highways. These were also equipped with radio receiving sets, which with our teletype service and radio connection with Arlington, the motor cycles can be sent anywhere in town within three minutes as can the patrol car.
Two Reserve Officers were given regular duty throughout the year. The Board feels they are a necessary addition to the force, particularly in the protection of our school children, and that considera- tion should be given towards making them regular patrolmen.
Safety
A serious accident at the Willow Street crossing brought the subject of that danger spot to the fore again. After talking with rail-
77
road officials the Board recommended that a lower type of flash signal be installed to insure more safety.
Much thought and discussion has taken place over our main thoroughfares, particularly the square, and the possibility of traffic lights may eventually be a solution, but the Board does not recommend them at present and as yet, has not come to any definite solution of this growing problem.
Fire Department
A new portable pump was purchased for the forest fire truck, making our apparatus complete and in good condition. The Board feels the fire apparatus now adequate for any emergency that might arise, but attention should be called to the fact that our ladder truck has a motor now nearly twenty years old, which is non-serviceable and would cripple the department several days should an accident or breakdown occur.
Fire Alarm
As has been repeated many times, our fire alarm system is badly in need of new equipment. The repeater at the Central Fire Station has been in use thirty-eight years and is apt to be rendered useless at any time, causing a serious condition where our department is dependent on its callmen. A fire-proof vault or separate building would be very desirable to house the system.
Our outside equipment is in fairly good condition. However, house fires occurring in the past few years in sections where there are few telephones and at considerable distance from nearest fire alarm boxes, reveals the necessity of installing several new boxes in con- venient places.
Dumps
The situation of small dumps springing up around the town presents a serious problem, not only to the civic beauty, but to the general health.
The town dump is overfilled and the Board feels that more land will have to be purchased probably in that area. In order to control the situation the Board recommends that the town accept legislation preventing the carrying of rubbish on public ways without a permit and that serious consideration be given to having town collection of all our waste material.
Trees
Believing that beauty is paramount for our residential community, the Tree Warden was authorized to purchase around two hundred trees, and these have been planted throughout the town.

A new truck was purchased for the Moth Department. A com- mittee was appointed to watch for and take precaution of the dreaded Dutch Elm Disease. Thus far none has been reported in the immediate area.
