REPORT.
/
Headquarters of the Police Department,
Office of the Police Commissioner, 154 Berkeley Street,
Boston, December 1, 1932.
To His Excellency Joseph B. Ely, Governor.
Your Excellency. — In accordance with the provisions
of chapter 291 of the Acts of 1906, as amended, I have the
honor to submit, as PoHce Commissioner for the City of Boston,
the following report for the year ending November 30, 1932.
During the past year extreme economy has been practiced
in the Department, both in regard to purchases and personnel,
but every effort has been made to further remodel the police
force of the city to enable it to deal more effectively with present-
day conditions.
At the present time there are one hundred and fifty-seven
(157) vacancies in the grade of patrolman below the quota
estabhshed for the Department in conformity with chapter 291
of the Acts of 1906. The method adopted in this Department
of reducing payrolls by not filling vacancies, but using every
effort to utilize the man-power available to its fullest extent
as well as keeping the morale of the Department up to the
highest possible standard, is, in my opinion, sound economy.
It is interesting to note that in spite of the reduction in num-
bers of personnel, the Department during the past year brought
to a successful conclusion, so far as its powers go, probably
a larger percentage of the serious crimes which occurred than
in previous years since the establishment of the Department.
This has been possible by the greater interest in their work
and the closer co-operation among the members of the Depart-
ment than had previously existed. It is the purpose of the
Commissioner to continue the above policy which was inau-
gurated in March, 1931, to the fullest extent that conditions
in the city warrant.
6 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
Public Welfare Investigation.
On July 21, 1932, His Honor the ^Mayor requested the
co-operation of this Department in making a complete investi-
gation of all persons receiving aid from the Public Welfare
Department of the City of Boston; the purpose of this investi-
gation being to weed out from the list of persons receiving aid
at that time those individuals not legally entitled to city aid
and permit of their immediate prosecution. In accordance
with this request of the Mayor there was created in the office
of the Commissioner a special board consisting of the Superin-
tendent of Police and a Deputy Superintendent who would
consider all reports made to it by a special division directly
under the charge of the Deputy Superintendent assigned to
the Commissioner's board. ^lembers of the Department
were instructed to make a thorough and impartial investi-
gation and report on each case sent to them, always bearing
in mind that those in needy circumstances through no fault
of their own should receive careful consideration and kindness,
as well as justice, but that those who were not legally entitled
to aid must be detected and suitable action taken to purge
the Public Welfare rolls of such individuals. A questionnaire
was prepared for the preliminary investigation which was
made by the various divisions. When the information re-
quested on the forms was received, it was forwarded to the
special board created for consideration. The Commissioner
was informed that there were approximately twenty thousand
(20,000) cases on the Public Welfare rolls which would be
referred to this Department for investigation. On August 4th,
the first cases were received from the Public WeKare Depart-
ment for our investigation. On August 30, 1932, the following
report was sent to His Honor the Mayor:
"In compHance with your request of July 21 that the Police
Department conduct an investigation for the purpose of weed-
ing out from the list of persons receiving aid from the PubUc
Welfare Department individuals not entitled to the same, in
order to speedily purge the Public Welfare rolls of all persons
receiving aid to which they are not legally entitled and to per-
mit of the immediate prosecution of such persons, there was at
once organized in this Department a special bureau in charge
of a Deputy Superintendent to conduct the investigation
requested by you, which I understand would include over
twenty thousand cases.
"So far, this Department has received only 2,685 names of
persons on the Welfare list, although our organization was
1933.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 7
created to speedily take care of the preliminary investigation
of the entire number of cases. At the present rate of receipt
of names from the Welfare Department, it will be about a
year before the police have even the names of those now on
the Welfare rolls, which you wished to have investigated. It
would be especially helpful to this Department to receive all
names as soon as possible in order that the preliminary police
investigation may be made promptly. This is necessary so
that those cases which are apparently deserving may be sepa-
rated from those requiring further examination and attention.
A complete list of all the names on the rolls of the Public
Welfare Department is absolutely essential if the police are to
properly perform their duty in cooperation with your announced
purpose to speedily purge the PubHc Welfare rolls of all persons
receiving aid to which they are not legally entitled.
"The first group of names of recipients of pubhc aid supplied
by the Pubhc Welfare Department, numbering 499, was
received by the police on August 4. The special bureau on
Pubhc Aid Investigation of this Department was immediately
instructed to take the first 500 cases received and make a
thorough pohce investigation of each case, analyzing the
results by dividing the cases into three groups, namely:
'Possible Worthy', 'Possible Unworthy' and 'Cases Possibly
Warranting Prosecution', and submit the same to the Superin-
tendent of Pohce and myself for consideration. It was thought
that this division would be the most helpful to you in deter-
mining what policy you would adopt in regard to the Public
Aid situation in this city.
"As soon as this analysis and report was made bj^ the special
bureau it was decided that before making a report to you it
was desirable and necessary to check the 'Possible Unworthy'
and 'Possible Prosecution Cases' with the records of the Public
Welfare Department. It was soon found that for reasons
enumerated later, this would delay any report being made to
you for an intolerable time.
"In view of the seriousness of the pubhc aid situation, and
in order to make a report to you at this time, the grouping was
changed to 'Possible Worthy' and 'Possible Unworthy' cases.
" The analysis of the 500 cases under two headings is as
follows :
Possible Worthy 294
Possible Unworthy 206
The latter class includes not only cases which from information
obtained by the police warrant further consideration by the
Welfare authorities, but also those cases which would appear to
justify prosecution against the recipient of aid or some other
person concerned in the case, if the irregularities discovered
by the pohce should be found to be accurate on comparison
with the records in the Pubhc Welfare Department.
8 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
"Under the 294 cases listed as 'Possible Worthy' no dis-
crepancy or question has come to the attention of the police in
their preliminary investigation, and unless additional evidence
is obtained indicating that further examination should be
made, it would appear unnecessary to devote special attention
to these cases.
"For this report it was intended to check the police investi-
gation with the records of the Public Welfare Department in
all cases originally classed as ' Possible Unworthy ' and ' Possible
Cases for Prosecution. '
"An effort was made to examine the original applications of
the recipients of aid, to check against pay cards, and to compare
other records of the Public Welfare Board with the police
report where apparent irregularities were found. This work
was begun last Thursday, but it is reported to me as progressing
very slowly and entirely unsatisfactory to the police. In fact,
it has been possible to get only partial information in 25 cases
up to Monday morning, whereas at least 100 cases a day
should be cleaned up by comparison with the appHcation of
the recipient, a fundamental record, simple financial figures
and other pertinent data which ought to be readily available.
In regard to the request for copies of the pay cards in nine
cases, my investigators report that four of the nine cases
were returned to them with the pencil notation 'not in file',
but no copies of the pay cards as promised were produced in
any case for the purposes of the police report. It appears
from our inability to acquire simple information that ought
to be on file that the Public Welfare office is either unable or
unwilling to furnish the police with the records necessary to
complete our check within a reasonable length of time. Not
until sufficient data can be secured from the Public Welfare
office in regard to cases under the heading of 'Possible Un-
worthy' will it be possible to submit to you a more definite
report on the result of the police investigation,
"Herewith is a summary of certain data compiled from the
first 500 reports made by the poHce :
Group 1.
False addresses 28
Moved 27
Vacant lots, office buildings, stables,
garages, etc 6
Recipient dead 5
Group total 66
Group 2.
Possible owners of realestate ... 45
Possible bank accounts .... 23
Aid from other sources .... 56
Group total 124

Group 3.
Difference in stated aid and aid received by-
recipient 26
Inconsistent with basis of disbursements
for persons having no dependents . . 15
(According to formula, should be $4.00 or
less per week.)
Group total 41
Number of persons with no dependents . 24
Residents of Boston only since January 1,

Non-residents 2
Telephones 13

Refuse to answer questions by investi-
gating officer 3
Total number having court records . . 101
Aliens 182
Recipients reporting that they have not
been visited within the past three
months by the PubHc Welfare Visitors
or Assistants 240
Group 1,
False addresses, moved, vacant lots, office
buildings, stables, garages, etc., and
recipients dead 66
"In all these cases the police investigators have made dili-
gent search to find the alleged recipient of aid. Before a
definite statement can be made to you in regard to these cases
the police must secure records from the Public Welfare Depart-
ment which would either show that a mistake has been made
in reporting the case to the police or that there is some other
reason for what appears to be a relatively large number of
false and fictitious addresses or persons.
Group 2.
Possible owners of real estate, possible
bank accounts, aid from other sources . 124
"It is, of course, perfectly evident that these cases require a
more careful checking of our reports with those of the Public
Welfare Department.
Group 3.
"The 26 cases found by the poHce where the recipient
reported receiving less aid than that stated by the Public
Welfare Department must be carefully checked for possible
errors. Again, the 15 cases inconsistent with the basis of
10 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
disbursements for persons ha\-ing no dependents, must be
carefully checked with the records of the Pubhc AVeKare
Department.
''The 6 cases of residents of Boston only since Januan^ 1,
1931, non-residents of the City of Boston and those refusing to
answer questions by investigating officers should be carefully
considered as to whether their aid should be continued.
"The total nimaber of persons ha^Tng court records is listed
as 101. These records include various crimes for which penal-
ties were inflicted, from fines, one month in jail to State Prison
terms. A complete hst of these cases with the criminal record
of the recipient will be furnished, as it would appear that this
information is necessarv' and should be of importance to those
responsible for the granting of pubhc aid.
"It will be noted that of the 500 cases recei\nng pubhc aid,
182 were ahens, or nearh' 40 per cent of the entire number of
cases under consideration. This involves such an important
matter of pubhc policy as to how far citizens should be taxed
to support aliens that I am transmitting this information to
you for consideration without comment.
"You will also note that in 240 cases, or almost 50 per
cent of the cases considered, our officers report that the recipi-
ents state that they have not been \'i5ited ■within the past
three months, and in some cases not for two years, bj' a repre-
sentative of the Pubhc Welfare Department.
''Not until sufficient data is secured from the Pubhc Welfare
Department in regard to the cases under the heading 'Possible
Unworthy' will it be possible for the Pohce Department to
submit to you a more definite report of its pohce investigation.
I felt, however, that 3'ou would be interested in recei\'ing this
report of the progress which is being made by the police and
the problems encountered. I am inclosing here^sith a hst of
the names and addresses of the recipients in this group of 500
classified under the headings of 'Possible Worthy' and 'Possible
Unworthy', marked Exhibits 'A' and 'B' respective!}'."
On September 19, 1932, a supplement arj- report to that of
August 30, 1932, was sent to His Honor the Mayor, as follows:
"This report is supplementary to one made to you dated
August 30, 1932, in regard to the investigation being made by
the Pohce Department at your request for the purpose of weed-
ing out from the list of persons receiving aid from the Public
Welfare Department indi\'iduals not entitled to the same and
permit of the prosecution of those recei\ing aid illegally.
"Your action at the conference in your office on August
31 designating Nathan A. Heller, Esquire, a member of the
Overseers, as your representative \N-ith whom the police should
deal, has resulted in a substantial improvement in the matter
of furnishing records of the Pubhc Welfare Department to the
1933.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 11
police. Mr. Heller has responded promptly to all calls made
upon him, and the jx)lice appreciate his assistance. Reports
of responsible senior police officials show that the delay in
supphing, and the inability to furnish, records on the part
of the Pubhc Welfare Department are due entirely to condi-
tions existing in that office and should not reflect upon the
efforts of Mr. Heller.
"Taking the 500 cases on which a preliminary' report was
made on August 30, no records could be obtained from the
Public Welfare Office in 17 cases, and in many cases only an
incomplete record was supplied to the poHce. However, as
there are over 20,000 welfare cases to be examined by the
police, no good purpose would be served by further delay until
these missing records can be produced. Therefore, this report
is made from the information at hand. PoHce investigation
and examination discloses that facts in 76 cases warrant the
conclusion that there exists a prima facie case for criminal
prosecution imder charges of larcency, conspiracy, or perjurj-.
In 70 cases it appears that the provisions of the 'Destitute
Parent Law' could be invoked. Due to the fact that some
cases are included in both groups the total number of individual
cases involved amounts to 126. To illustrate cases coming
under these two classifications, there are quoted below five
examples:
Police Report.
"This man 'X' has been dead S years. His son, , has
been receiving the money. Captain reports that 'X' has been
dead for S years and his son. , has been dravring aid on
his father's card since June, 1931, and stated that the Welfare
Department gave him permission to do this. There is one
boarder and a nephew, and son receiving S7.00 per week welfare
aid. WhUe son was being questioned, one of the friends in the
house told him in a foreign language (which was tmderstood by
the pohce officer) not to tell the officer anything about the
boarder.
Public Welfare.
Original apphcation made by "X" January IS, 1922. Did
not contain an affidavit. Second application June 23. 1931.
in name of "X" idead^ and wife contained an affidavit signed
by son. although his name does not appear on the body of the
apphcation. Third apphcation made October 6, 1931, in
name of wife is blank and affidavit is not signed. Visitor's
report on June 25. 1931, states that husband died about 6 years
ago leaving 1 child, son, about 35 years of age. Visitor's report
on October 14. 1931, son still out of work. ReappUes for aid
and given SS.OO cash and work card.
There is no record of any individual apphcation made by
son at any time. Notation on Visitor's report on outside page
states that "X" reapplied on July 23, 1931, and again on
12 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
October 6, 1931, and also that case was reopened October 14,
1931. Pay card states aid given from October 14, 1931.
Police report states that "X" is dead 6 years. Card still has
name of "X" and money being paid to son in his deceased
father's name. Amount on police report states $7.00. Pay
card says $8.00 for 23 weeks, $13.00 for 2 weeks, and $7.00
for 9 weeks. There is no mention made on any record received
that "X" ever received $13.00 a week, and no mention in
amount of reductions of aid. Affidavit made in name of wife,
but signed by son. Date of appHcation January 18, 1922,
June 3, 1931 and October 6, 1931. Visitor's report incom-
plete. Last report March 13, 1932.
Conclusion.
The "X" of record has been dead about 8 years. During
the past 2 years his son has been receiving aid under his father's
name. Apparently this must have been done with the knowl-
edge of the Public Welfare Board. No application was ever
made by the son. By whose authority and orders is he receiv-
ing this money? Pay card also states that during the month
of November, 1931, a quarter of ton of coal was given to "X"
and during the months of January, February and March, a
half a ton was given each month. No question of prosecution
on son. Serious question of conspiracy on part of some indi-
vidual other than son. Query on the amount of money that
has been paid in view of the fact that card sent to the police
stated $7.00. Pay card has $8.00 for 23 weeks, and $13.00
for 2 weeks. Public Welfare Records in very poor condition
in this case. Affidavits signed improperly.
Note.
Check up on the record of son. Further investigation
should be made as to who at the Public Welfare paid this
money and where son received his money. Note that second
application was made on June 23, 1931, in the name of "X"
who is dead, and the affidavit was signed by the son. It is
further interesting if the application made on June 23, 1931,
could be further looked at as to the answers made on the
various questions in the application. It should also be noted
that Visitor's report on June 25, 1931, states that husband
died about 6 years ago. Apparently there must have been
collusion somewhere. It should be also noted that no apph-
cation was made by son at any time. Look up name of Visitor
who reported on June 25, 1931, and on October 14, 1931. It
should also be noted that the Visitor stated that "X" reapplied
on July 23, 1931, on October 6, 1931, and the case was reopened
on October 14, 1931. Does this mean the dead man? Appar-
ently it must be, because no original application or reapplication
can be found according to our officer's report.

Police Report.
"X" recipient alien. Lived in Boston 7 years. Pays no
rent because he owns house. Children: Daughter 11; son 4;

Welfare Board, 1 day a week reports to Overseers of Public
Welfare, another day he collects his money and hasn't any
time to look for work. Last visit Public Welfare, January,
1932. Owns three-family eleven-room wooden frame building

Public Welfare.
No affidavit. Date of appfication February 1, 1924. Re-
appHcation December 17, 1931. Visitor's report shows last
visit was made December 18, 1931. Visitor recommends
$12.00 in cash. Pay cards show man receiving $12.00 weekly
from December 24, 1931, to June 10, 1932, when it was reduced
to $11.00 a week. Visitor's report made on December 18,
1931, stated that the house has been vacant for 13 months
except for occupancy "X" recipient who owns the three-family
house. Pohce report states that he is receiving $12.00 a month
for rent.
Conclusion.
Note the fact that recipient owns three-family house, lives in
the house and receives $12.00 a month rent. Note the fact
that recipient states he has not time to look for work due to the
fact that he works 3 days a week for the Welfare, 1 day reports
to the Overseers of the Public Welfare, and another day has
to collect his money. Note the fact that the last visit was
made on December 18, 1931, and at this time the statement
was made that the house was vacant and now it is occupied
and the recipient receiving a rental. Possible prosecution.
No affidavit. Alien, living in Boston 7 years.
Police Report.
States that "X" recipient does not live at Street.
Public Welfare.
Records incomplete; no affidavit. Date of application Jan-
uary 23, 1931; aid started May 23, 1932, at $11.00, decreased
to .$10.00 on June 14, 1932. Last payment of $10.00 on August
30, 1932. Last report of Visitor August 24, 1932. Records
show man resided at Street, Everett, until about May
15, 1932. Made application and was receiving aid in Everett
up to May 15, 1932, when he moved to Boston giving address
Street. Receiving aid of $11.00 per week cash beginning
May 23, 1932. The application in this case contains only
14 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
one fold and apparently has been made on recent date. No
check is made on brother or sister, real estate, banks or insurance
on Records of Public Welfare. Visitor's report states ,
Street. No affidavit.
Conclusion.
Note fact that the man is not living at Street, address
given on card sent to police by Welfare Board. Note the
fact that record at the Public Welfare shows that recipient
lived in Everett until May 15, 1932, and received aid in Everett
up to that date, then moved to Boston giving address
Street and received aid eight times after moving to Boston
of $11.00 a week. Note the fact that the last payment was
made on August 30, 1932, after police investigation had com-
menced. No record of why pajonent was stopped. Note
the fact of no visit in May, 1932, to ascertain whether recipient
lived at Street. Note the fact of condition of applica-
tion. Note the fact of no check made on brothers or sisters,
real estate, banks or insurance. Note recipient made applica-
tion in Boston before moving from Everett. Did Visitor
visit Street? Possibihty of court action.
Police Report.
"X" recipient states children: Son 22; earnings $30.00
weekly. Son 16; son 14; son 12; son 6. Dependents, wife
and four children. Purchased goods on installments in

Brother, — — , lives in Revere, owns house and receiving wel-
fare from Revere. Sister, , husband works for telephone
company. Sister, , Waverly, owns house; sister, ,
owns house. Last visit by Public Welfare Investigator two
months ago. Recipient states he owns house jointly with
son, , also states that mother, brother and two sisters own
houses. States that he has $4.35 in ■ Savings Bank.
Does not know whether rest of family has any savings.
Received aid since December, 1931. First at $8.00 a week
and $3.00 grocery order; now $7.00 a week and $3.00 grocery
order. States his son, , owns an automobile. Captain
calls attention to fact that recipient owned house by himself
up to October, 1931, when his son, , took a half interest
in the house.

Apphcation filed November 12, 1931. Aid started Decem-
ber, 1931; $8.00 a week, $3.00 grocery order; aid cut to
$7.00 a week and $3.00 grocery order, June 14, 1932. Dif-
ference in the spelling of last name. Police records show he
had $4.35 in savings bank on August 15, 1932. Visitor's
report made August 31, 1932, states he had no account in
1933.1 PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 15
the savings bank. Police report states he has no other income
from any source. Welfare Records show that he is getting
$58.00 a month from house which he owns. In 1923, record
of the Welfare Department shows he paid S2,300 down on
purchase of $8,000 house and Visitor reports family badly in
need.
Conclusion.
Possible action under Destitute Parent Law, and contribu-
tions from blood relatives. Note the discrepancies in the fact
that on August 15, 1932, recipient stated to police that he had
$4.35 in the savings bank and Visitor's report of August 31,
1932, states that he has no account with said bank. Note fact
that in police report recipient stated he had no income from
any source, whereas Welfare report shows he is getting $58.00
a month from the house he owns. Note fact that son acquired
half interest in house less than a month before application for
aid was made.
Note.
Possibility of prosecution.

September 7, 1932, states recipient has six children; one 38,
one 33, one 22, one 21, one 18 and one 16. Also states recipi-
ent's niece has an automobile which is owned by recipient.
According to Visitor's report of September 7, 1932, son
working during all this time. No record of any sons reporting
to work yard until September 6, 1932. No affidavit.
Conclusion.
Note fact that one son owns property where recipient resides,
also owns automobile. Another son owns an automobile.
Note fact that according to Visitor's report of September 7,
1932, applicant owns an automobile and that another son is

working. Note fact that from police report son owns house
and automobile and another son owns an automobile. Brother
owns house and automobile. In this family there are three
members owning automobiles and two members owning houses.
Possible action under Destitute Parent Law and possible action
for brother to contribute. Note fact that recipient stated in his
apphcation January 19, 1931, that no one in his family owned
real estate. Possible prosecution. No affidavit. Alien, living
in Boston 32 years.
"The pohce investigation shows 216 cases where the recipient
of aid has relatives who may come within the classes contained
in the 'Kindred Law' of those hable to be called upon for the
support of their poor relatives. In the 216 cases there are
many examples which indicate ability for such support and no
indication that the Public Welfare Board has made any effort
to investigate the ability of those who by consanguinity may be
called upon for such support.
"The foregoing cases where the facts show a prima facie
case for criminal prosecution, or where the information obtained
by the police indicates that action may be taken to relieve the
city, at least in part, of the payment of aid total 278 out of the
500 cases, some of the cases coming under more than one
classification."
"At the conference on August 31 in your office you did not
appear particularly interested in the number of recipients who
were aliens or those who had court records. Of course, I agree
with you that these persons and their families should not be
allowed to starve, but one of the first things a police investiga-
tion determines is whether or not the person under investiga-
tion is a citizen and the kind of a court record he may have. It
appears that 180 of the 500 cases are aliens and in 167 cases the
recipients have court records. If the percentage of aliens holds
throughout the entire 20,000 or more cases, the Support of
destitute aliens is a problem of great public importance. In
the case of the alien, he usually does not maintain nor does he
expect to live on the same standard of living as our citizens,
and what would be a starvation allowance to an American
family may be a luxury income to a destitute alien. This is,
I appreciate, a matter of policy for those responsible for the
disbursement of aid to determine.
"While many of the court records of recipents of aid are of a
minor nature, there are a great many others involving such
charges as non-support of family, habitual drunkenness, larceny,
assaults on wife and children, and felonies, which should have
an important bearing on the disbursement of public aid to such
recipients. Little good is accomplished by the payment of
money to this class of individuals, the families of those with
criminal records are in general the persons who should be
assisted.

"In these 500 cases the poUce list 27 cases as 'Owners of real
estate', 15 recipients who have 'bank accounts', 9 recipients
who are 'owners of automobiles', and 35 non-residents. In
three cases recipients refuse to give any information to the
police.
"Some of the irregularities encountered by the police in
making its investigation are as follows :
Aid not received by applicant ... 22
Aid not received by recipient ... 6
No such person 8
False and incorrect addresses ... 84
Recipient dead 6
Discrepancy in amount of aid reported . 133
To what extent inaccurate records of the Public Welfare De-
partment and other reasons account for these discrepancies
cannot be stated at this time, but the police, from their training
and experience, cannot help regarding such records with
suspicion.
"Appreciating that this investigation is directed primarily
towards the recipients of aid, the police have not attempted to
follow up in the short space of time during which it has been
engaged in this work and ascertain the reasons for these dis-
crepancies; nevertheless, the fact that they exist cannot be
ignored.
"In further connection with the records of the Public Welfare
Department, I am informed that the police were furnished
many incomplete reports of cases, such as:
No appHcation 9
Affidavit not signed by applicant . . 17
No affidavit 203
No recent Visitor's report .... 190
No record of vote of Overseers ... 35
No pay cards 6
Incomplete pay cards 40
Possibly all these discrepancies can eventually be explained,
but the chaotic condition of the Pubhc Welfare Records offers
so great an opportunity for possible fraud that I feel it my duty
to call this condition to your attention.
"I have given above the general conditions found by the
pohce in this group of 500 cases in summarized form. I am
enclosing herewith a brief summary and analysis of each individ-
ual case. These analyses are based on statements made to or
reported by the police and records concerning these cases as
furnished to the police by the Public AVelfare Department.
There is on file at Police Headquarters a complete record con-
cerning each of the foregoing cases, and I shall be pleased to
permit any one authorized by you to have access to the same.
"You will, no doubt, desire to have particular attention
given to the 76 cases where the facts warrant the conclusion
18 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
that there exists a prima facie case for criminal prosecution
under charges of larceny, conspiracy or perjury, and to those 70
cases where the provisions of the 'Destitute Parent Law' may
be invoked. Further, a fertile field which should yield financial
savings to the city are the 216 cases where the so-called 'Kindred
Law' may be used to compel persons to contribute to the
support of their poor relatives. The Overseers of Public Wel-
fare are authorized by law to institute legal proceedings in the
various cases referred to above.
"It is significant to note that Payment Has Been Stopped
in 45 or nearly 10 per cent of these 500 cases since the police
investigation commenced; this fact was not considered in
making the foregoing analysis.
"This police investigation is directed towards the recipients
of public aid rather than the Public Welfare Department.
During the past six weeks the police have exercised great
forbearance and patience, particularly in dealing with the Wel-
fare Department. Incomplete and inaccurate records, as fur-
nished the police by the Welfare office, have seriously delayed
the progress of this investigation. The time consumed in
investigating these 500 cases indicates that unless more rapid
progress is made in examining the Welfare Department records
in the large number of remaining cases, the city will not receive
until two years the full benefit of the savings made possible
by this police investigation. For the police investigation to
proceed with reasonable speed the records of the PubHc Welfare
Department must be straightened out. Therefore, I respect-
fully suggest that there be a new registration of all recipients of
aid as soon as possible, and that each appUcant's case be exam-
ined by different visitors than those who had previously passed
on the case before being determined finally by the Overseers.
Further, that the appKcation, examination and accounting
records be kept in a modern, business-like manner. This sug-
gestion seems to me to be the most practical method of cleaning
up an intolerable condition in a speedy and effective manner."
On October 3, 1932, the department transmitted to His Honor
the Mayor, a report on the next thousand cases investigated by
this department, said report being as follows:
"In your letter of July 21 requesting the PoUce Department
to investigate persons receiving public aid, you request informa-
tion, first, which will allow the purging of the Public Welfare
rolls of those unworthy, and second, information which will
permit the prosecution of those obtaining aid illegally. The
second proposition immediately raised the question in those
cases where prosecution is possible — ' Who shall prosecute, the
police or the Overseers of the Public Welfare Department?'
In nearly all cases so far reported on, if criminal action is possi-
1933.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 19
ble, it would be for larceny, perjury, conspiracy, or action under
the 'Destitute Parent Law.' These criminal actions would
depend for successful prosecution upon the facts and testimony
of the Public Welfare Department and its records, together
with what information the police have been able to obtain.
Not wishing to take precipitate action, particularly without
the opportunity to discuss this matter with you, but desiring
to find out as soon as possible, what the attitude of the Welfare
Department would be if the police attempted to prosecute, I
cited in my second report to you five typical cases. The public
answers of the Overseers and their counsel in these five cases
make it clear that if the poHce had taken the cases into court
they could not have maintained their charges due to the testi-
mony of the Public Welfare Department, which had not dis-
closed to the police the alleged additional facts as given in their
public statements. Therefore, if the police had attempted to
take court action they would have been left in a trap and
would have been made to look ridiculous and held up to public
contempt; this, of course, I cannot conscientiously allow.
Irrespective of the public statements made in regard to the
police report, I am informed that aid has been discontinued in
83 out of the 500 cases, or nearly 17 per cent, included in my
report to you on September 19.
"I am transmitting herewith police reports in 1,000 cases
which included the preliminary report in 200 cases in which
it is stated that aid has been discontinued by the Welfare
Department. From the information obtained by the police
and that furnished by the Welfare office in the remaining 800
cases there are 176 cases, which in the opinion of the police,
warrant consideration for legal action by the Overseers of the
Public Welfare.
"This group includes cases which from the records furnished
to the police by the Public Welfare Department and informa-
tion secured by the police, indicate deception in securing aid
by recipients. If the Overseers are of the opinion that they
have not been criminally deceived and they are satisfied with
the terms and conditions under which the recipient receives
aid, no matter what the records may show then he could not
be prosecuted criminally with any expectation of success.
Furthermore, Sections 29 and 31 of chapter 117 of the General
Laws dealing with the power and duties of the Overseers states :
Section 29. Whoever knowingly and wilfully
makes any false written representations to the
Overseers, to their agent or to the Department of
Public Welfare or its agents, for the purpose of
causing any person to be supported in whole or in
part as a pauper by a town or by the commonwealth,
shall be punished by a fine of not more than two
hundred dollars or by imprisonment for not more
than one year.
20 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
Section 31. In actions and prosecutions founded
on the preceding sections, the Overseers of any
town or any person appointed by a writing under
their hands shall appear and prosecute or defend
the same in behalf of such town.
Thus, it is evident that the law authorizes the Overseers of
Public Welfare, who disburse the aid for the city and determine
the conditions under which it is granted, to appear in court
and prosecute persons not legally entitled to such aid.
"This group also includes cases which come under the pro-
visions of the 'Destitute Parent Law,' namely:
Section 20. Any person, over twenty-one,
who, being possessed of sufficient means, unreason-
ably neglects or refuses to provide for the support
and maintenance of his parent, whether father or
mother, residing in the commonwealth, when such
parent through misfortune and without fault of
his own is destitute of means of sustenance and
unable by reason of old age, infirmity or illness to
support and maintain himself, shall be punished
by a fine of not more than two hundred dollars or by
imprisonment for not more than one year, or both.
No such neglect or refusal shall be deemed unreason-
able as to a child who shall not during his minority
have been reasonably supported by such parent, if
such parent was charged with the duty so to do, nor
as to a child, who, being one of two or more children,
has made proper and reasonable contribution toward
the support of such parent.
Section 21. Proceedings under the preceding
section shall be begun, if in the superior court, in
the county in which is situated the place where
the defendant or the parent lives, and, if begun in a
district court, in the court having such place within
its judicial district. Complaints in district courts
under the preceding section may be made by any
such parent, by any child of such parent, by the
Overseers of the Poor of the town where such parent
has a settlement, or by any other public relief
officer.
Section 22. Before trial, with the consent of
the defendant, or after entry of a plea of guilty
or nolo contendere, or after conviction, the court
may make for the benefit of such destitute parent
orders similar to those provided in section five ; and
the practice established by the first ten sections of
this chapter shall, so far as applicable, apply to
proceedings under this and the two preceding
sections.
1933.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 21
"There are two courses of procedure open to the Welfare
authorities. The Overseers may request interested parties to
attend a conference and by the exercise of moral suasion the
Pubhc Welfare authorities may bring about an arrangement
whereby the working children of the parent receiving aid make
regular contributions, within their means, for the support of
their parent, in this way cutting down if not eliminating the
payment of public aid. In cases where the children neglect or
refuse to co-operate with the Overseers, then the provisions of
Chapter 273 of the General Laws, quoted above, may be
invoked.
"It would probably be necessary in only a few cases to
invoke the provisions of this law and have the case adjudicated
by the court. I am making this statement, not from theory,
but from my own personal experience while I was at the State
House in which the efficacy of moral suasion as a practical
measure of administration was demonstrated in thousands of
cases yearly. It would be a simple matter for the Corpora-
tion Counsel, the legal advisor of the Overseers, to bring action
in such cases as the Welfare authorities are unable, by the
exercise of moral suasion, to reach a satisfactory solution.
"To illustrate certain cases coming under the foregoing
classification, there are summarized below five examples:
Recipient applied for aid in December, 19.30. Family con-
sists of man, wife and two sons, ages 17 and 15 years. Records
at the Welfare Department disclose the fact that in July, 1931,
the recipient received three Slo payments, one $14 payment
and from July, 1931, to November 27, 1931, $13.00 cash
weekly with .$5.00 cash extra in November. From December
31, 1931, to June 10, 1932, the recipient received $13 weekly
with two allotments of fuel. Pay card shows that from June
18, 1932, to September 17, 1932, $12.00 weekly was paid,
although records at Public Welfare dated August 3, 1932,
state "recipient and wife working."
The poHce investigation discloses the fact that wife of
recipient has been employed under an assumed name from
January, 1931, and her earnings during this period to Septem-
ber 20, 1932, were $831.13.
The recipient's wife has been employed and received sub-
stantial wages while her husband received aid from the city.
This is a clear case of deceit in order to obtain unearned money
from the city.
Recipient began to receive aid in 1926 at $12 a week; dis-
continued at various times and then granted again. In
January, 1932, he received $40.00, February, 1932, he received
$30.00, April, 1932, he received $12.00, May, 1932, he received
$48.00, June, 1932, he received .$57.00, July, 1932, he received
$44.00, and in August, 1932, he received $55.00. In Septem-
ber, 1932, up to the 19th of the month he had received $22.00.
22 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
The police investigation discloses the fact that this man
has worked while receiving aid. The recipient is a longshore-
man and has worked as recently as September 29 and 30 of
1932, for which two days he received $10.20. His employers
stated that if recipient would remain sober they would employ
him continuously enabling him to support his family.
Recipient has, apparently, no desire to work, and is an habitual
drunkard, and as long as he is given money which allows him
to buy liquor, he will not work and support his family.
Recipient has been receiving $14.00 a week aid from June 20,
1932, until August 24, 1932, according to the records at the
Public Welfare Department. On September 19 the records
of the Pubhc Welfare did not show whether or not the case
was still open after August 24.
The police investigation discloses the fact that the recipient
had on deposit in a bank $345.00 which was withdrawn on
June 30, 1932, ten days after receiving the first aid payment
from the city. No action to prosecute or recover money paid
has been taken by the Overseers of Public Welfare.
Recipient is 57 years old and has three sons, 31, 26 and 24
years old, respectively, one daughter 29 years old, and one
son 17. Receiving aid from the Welfare since July 1, 1932,
at $10.00 a week.
Records at Welfare office carry this case under the name of
both the husband and wife, two cards being sent to the police,
but apparently these cards include only one case.
The Commanding Officer of the station in which this family
resides states that the family is large enough and old enough,
in his opinion, to contribute to their parents' support. No
record has been furnished the police by the Welfare that any
attempt, as yet, has been made to compel the adult children
to contribute to the support of their parents in this. case.
Recipient, 55 years old, lives with his wife. He has four
children, ages 35, 33, 30 and 28, two living at home. He has
been receiving $10.00 weekly from the Public Welfare
Department.
Police investigations disclose the fact that one of his sons
is a practising attorney and another son is employed by an
insurance company. No effort has been made by the Over-
seers of Public Welfare to ascertain whether action could be
brought in this case under the "Destitute Parent Law" against
any of the sons.
"In addition to the foregoing definite provisions of law.
Chapter 117, General Laws, Sections 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12,
provides that certain kindred of poor persons shall be bound
1933.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 23
to support such persons in proportion to their abihty, and it
further provides that a justice of the superior court sitting in
equity may assess and apportion upon such kindred as it finds
of sufficient abihty such amount as he considers reasonable
towards the support of the relatives of such kindred. I am
calling to your attention 309 cases of the 800 mentioned above
where either moral suasion or the provisions of this law may be
exercised. Similar to the procedure mentioned above under
the 'Destitute Parent Law,' the so-called kindred law offers a
splendid opportunity to cut down, if not eliminate, the pay-
ment of aid in many cases. It will be noted that the insti-
tution of action under the so-called 'Kindred Law' and the
'Destitute Parent Law' rests either with the city or with the
Overseers. LTnder such conditions the danger of creating
friction and dissension among families is minimized and, in
fact, as I see it, these laws provide the Overseers with a weapon
by which families can be more closely united, and made to be
self-supporting, which is a fundamental American principle.
"In 200 cases a brief summary of the police report is given
with the notation that aid was discontinued according to
advices received from the Public Welfare Department. There
are several hundred other such cases which will be sent to you
as soon as they are put in proper form. Whether or not the
activities of the police had any influence in bringing about a
discontinuance of aid in these cases I do not know, but I
thought it would be helpful and of interest to you to have the
information so far collected by the pohce in these cases, as it
may be possible that some of them require further action by
the Welfare authorities. In this connection no provision has
been made to notify the police if aid is recommenced, as the
Welfare records show that aid may be discontinued for a short
while and then, without even making a new application to
explain the facts confronting the apphcant, aid is recommenced
on an old application. It should be borne in mind that the
police report on these cases in which aid has been discontinued
by the Public Welfare is limited, but I believe it would be
unnecessary effort, in view of the number of cases involved,
to attempt to make a further investigation of the so-called
'closed cases' when such notification is received from the
Pubhc Welfare Department.
"Herewith is a summary of certain data compiled from these
800 cases referred to above:

24 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
''The foregoing information is included with the police
report of each case for such consideration as may be deemed
necessary. In regard to the criminal records, many are of a
minor nature, although some recipients of aid have serious
criminal records, while others have acquired criminal records
during the period that they have been receiving aid. Knowl-
edge of the type of criminal record of the recipient ought to
be of practical value to the welfare authorities in determining
who should handle the money awarded to needy families, thus
preventing the waste of public money by habitual drunkards
and incompetent persons.
''Some of the irregularities encountered by the police in
making its investigation of these 800 cases are listed below:
Aid not received by applicant
35
Aid not received by recipient
8
Affidavit not signed by applicant
18
False and incorrect address
64
No application ....

No recent Visitor's report .
361
No record of vote of Overseers .
48
No affidavit
. 304
"Possibly the Overseers of Public Welfare may be able
eventually to explain all these discrepancies in regard to the
records, but I regard the existence of such a condition of so
much importance that I feel it my duty to call it to your
attention. I also desire to reiterate that the police, from
their training and experience, cannot help regarding such
incomplete and inaccurate records with suspicion.
' ' To give you a general picture of the present status of the
activities of the police in regard to welfare, the following
summary is submitted:
Cases sent to police by AVelfare Depart-
ment since August 5 . . . . 9,876
At station house for preliminary investiga-
tion 3,462
At Headquarters in Special Bureau on
Public Aid Matters . . . . . 4,207
Discontinued according to the Welfare
Department 707
Reported on to the Mayor .... 1,500
"When the cards are received from the Public Welfare
Department a form is sent to the station house where the
recipient resides with instructions that certain information
be obtained and reported to Headquarters. At Headquarters
a selected group of officers examine each report and check it
with the records furnished by the Welfare office.
"At the present time arrangements have been made with
the Welfare authorities to check 600 cases weekly, although
ii
1933.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 25
this figure has not yet been reached. To prevent the accu-
mulation of cases at Headquarters, it will be necessary to
double the number checked each week and this matter is
receiving the consideration of your representative, Mr. Heller,
with whom I have taken it up. I appreciate the difficulties
confronting Mr. Heller, but I am hopeful that it will be pos-
sible to speed up the checking of records at the Welfare office.
''Altogether nearly 25,000 cases are, as I understand, to
be referred to the police. Furthermore, you specifically
request speedy action; therefore, the plans of the police were
made to make a preliminary report promptly of all cases with
a view of ascertaining first those cases of recipients receiving
aid which merit particular investigation and attention.
''Inasmuch as reasonable progress by the police and the
accomplishment of satisfactory results are largely dependent
upon clear, complete and adequate records, being readily
available for examination, this report and previous reports of
the Police Department have dealt primarily with the chaotic
conditions of records found to exist at the Welfare office.
Furthermore, whatever the policy may be in regard to grant-
ing of aid, whether it is liberal or conservative, I believe you
will agree with me that adequate records must be maintained.
I submit for your consideration that the most effective measure
of weeding out those persons not entitled to aid is a rigid
requirement that suitable records be established and main-
tained in each and every case. This requirement offers the
greatest opportunity to assist in accomplishing in a speedy
manner the purpose expressed in your letter of July 21, in
regard to welfare matters."
This report together with previous report covered a total
of 1,500 Public Welfare cases with detailed information for
the Mayor'3 consideration. On October 7, 1932, His Honor
the Mayor requested the Police Commissioner to discontinue
forthwith the investigation of Public Welfare cases by the
Police Department.
Communication System.
Further investigation of the Police Signal System in use in
this city, begun in 1930, discovered so little co-ordination as
well as so much worn out and obsolete equipment, that the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology was requested to make
a study of the present system and what was needed to make
a proper communication system for this department. As a
result of this request a contract was executed between this
department and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
under which a thorough study was made not only of the Police
26 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
Signal System of this city but in other cities to decide what a
Police Department should have in the way of a communica-
tion system to meet present day conditions. This service
was rendered at cost by the Institute as a contribution to the
City of Boston. On May 26, 1932, the report of the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology with its recommendations
was submitted to the Police Commissioner. The report in
brief stated that a communication system sufficient to properly
meet the needs of the city must be able to perform the follow-
ing principal functions :
1. Provide for any communication between the pubhc
and the police.
2. Provide for receiving emergency calls by calling
a signal telephone number.
3. Provide that accurate records be made of all alarms
both at general headquarters and also at the division
headquarters concerned.
4. Provide for communication between the patrolmen
and their senior officers.
5. Provide for communication between the Pohce
Department of the City of Boston and the departments
of the neighboring municipalities.
6. Provide for communication from general head-
quarters to patrolling automobiles and harbor pohce boats.
7. All of the above shall be rapid, reUable, accurate,
secret and simple in execution.
This report went into great detail in regard to cost and spec-
ifications of the equipment recommended and, so far as we
know, is the first report made by a scientific institution on what
a modern police communication system should contain and
how it should function. This report was transmitted to His
Honor the Mayor on June 14 with the following letter:
"In further reference to the Orders of the Honorable City Council
relative to the use of the radio in the Boston Police Department, I have the
honor to transmit herewith a copy of the report dated May 26, 1932, from
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This report covers the
status and needs of the communication system of the Boston
Police Department. It will be noted that the work was done at cost by
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a public service to the
City of Boston.
"The importance of an efficient and up-to-date communication system
for the proper functioning of the police cannot be overstated. When I
became Police Commissioner I devoted special study to the signal system
1933.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 27
of the Department. It was obsolete and of little or no help in enabling the
force to act quickly and in unison and of no value to the public directly
in need of police service. Some important changes and improvements
have already been made, but recognizing the necessity for having a com-
plete and modern communication system for the Department, it was deemed
necessary to have competent expert advice which has been received from
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
"The comprehensive report of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech-
nology, after careful study and investigation designs a model pohce
communication system for the City of Boston. I accept the recommenda-
tions and submit them to you and the Honorable City Council for your
consideration. I also request that the necessary funds be made available
to carry out the changes and improvements recommended in this report."
The Police Commissioner was informed by His Honor the
Mayor on June 14, as follows :
"I beg to acknowledge receipt of communication and report of investiga-
tion conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology relative to
the installation of a system of radio communication and the completion of
the blinker system of transmission of information from police stations to
officers on routes.
" I have been most pleased to this day refer the same to the City Council,
but am frank to say that I know of no way in which the money can be
provided this year for the installation as recommended."
During the past year Divisions 6 and 16 were completely
equipped with the Hayes Signal System which allows citizens
to sound a police alarm from each patrol box and provides
for the control of members of the Department who are on
street duty and may be needed for emergencies. The com-
pletion of these two divisions makes a total of five divisions
now equipped in this manner which is part of the system recom-
mended by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in their
report on the Police Communication System.
Bureau of Records.
The Bureau of Records was established October 17, 1931,
and that part of the Bureau of Criminal Investigation known
as the Criminal Identification Division was merged with the
Bureau of Records.
Further changes were made during this year to simpHfy the
keeping of pohce records as well as making the records of the
department uniform in all its branches. For example, a new
system of arrest records at pohce divisions and Headquarters
was inaugurated. This not only simphfies the clerical work
at station houses, but provides uniformity in keeping these
28 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
fundamental records. A new loose-leaf form of Arrest and
Summons book was designed and installed as well as a new
form for reporting and filing of arrests. As a result of these
changes many books and reports formerly kept with great
labor and expense by the Department were consolidated into
a new simple, much more available form.
The efficiency of this division has been greatly increased
by the installation of complete and thoroughly modern criminal
identification equipment.
To the rectigraph. fingerprint cameras, copjdng and enlarg-
ing cameras, view cameras and photo-record machine which
were in use in the Identification Division were added this year :
one additional Folmer Graflex camera, one Folmer laboratory-
stand for cop^'ing purposes, fluorescent screens for photography
without the use of a camera, and one photographing machine
to be used principally to establish and build up the one finger-
print system of classifying and fifing. This machine will
enable us to go into our standard fingerprint files and take
out for temporary use any and all standard ten fingerprint
cards that we deem desirable and photograph each finger-
print thereon separately on a sensitized 3 by 5 card appro-
priate for filing. It is our intention to go back five years in
our main file and select the fingerprints of subjects who have
been arrested for crime in the commission of which finger-
prints might be left at the scene of crime and all such subjects
which are brought to us for fingerprinting in the future will
be fingerprinted in the regular manner and also single finger-
printed and these single fingerprints, as well as those repro-
duced by photography will be classified and filed in their
proper division in the one fingerprint file,' With the aid of
this machine, the work can proceed much more rapidly than
by any other method thereby quickly building up the single
fingerprint file and at the same time maintaining our standard
file with the maximum efficiency because of the fact that this
machine is so fast in its action, the standard print is out of its
proper classification division but a very few minutes.
The single fingerprint file has great potential value in making
identifications of persons committing crime. Heretofore,
single fingerprints or two or three, as it might be, taken at the
scene of crimes, were valuable only for comparison with the
ten fingerprints of the suspect whether the suspect's prints
were then in our files or would be taken at the time he was
1933.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 29
brought in on suspicion of the said crime. There was no
method or sj^stem for filing latent prints taken at scenes of
crimes up to the time of the origination of the one fingerprint
system by Chief Inspector Battley of the Fingerprint Di\i-
sion of Scotland Yard, England. It is announced by the
English authorities that 123 positive identifications were
made by the one fingerprint system during the past year.
It is the Battley system of single fingerprint classification
that is being installed in the Bureau of Records. This does
not, in any way, weaken the standard system of filing prints,
but it is a very valuable addition thereto.
By using the fluorescent screens, any printed matter may be
reproduced without the aid of camera. It is a valuable aid in
disclosing forgeries on documents. It may be used to photo-
graph any part of the printed matter of any book. As an
illustration, if there is a register entry in a hotel or an item in
anj^ particular book in the Pubfic Library or any other place
to which we would have access but which we could not obtain
to bring to the Bureau of Records for the purpose of photo-
graphing, the fluorescent screens can be used by merely cover-
ing the screens and the hands with a closely woven cloth,
getting the negative result, protecting it by means provided
and returning same to the Bureau of Records and developing it.
The Folmer Graflex revoking back camera recently added
to the equipment makes the total three in the Bureau of
Records which seems to be a sufficient number to cover all
demands made upon the Bureau of Records for outside photog-
raphy within the size. Besides the Folmer Graflex cameras
there is a 5 by 8 camera, and an 8 by 10 camera. AU the
varying sizes can be enlarged with our enlarging apparatus to
a 16 by 20 size.
The rectigraph is a photograph machine verj' fast in its
action and enables the operator to turn out in the course of a
day a very large number of photographs if operated to the
maximum. As an illustration, in the American Legion week,
this machine turned out well over 7,000 photographs in two
days at an approximate cost, labor, materials, etc., of about
S65. I am advised by commercial photographers it would
probably take three weeks at a cost of at least 83,000.
The laboratory stand added to the equipment this year is a
valuable addition and enables enlarging to be done quickly
and of a fine grade of work. The Holophane fighting unit
30 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
recently installed for group photography will meet all demands
made upon it as to sufficient amount and proper diffusion of
light for good photography.
Photograph films of varying sizes are filed in proper order in
files adaptable to the purpose, the enlarged photographs,
16 by 20 inches, being filed in a filing cabinet especially built
to accommodate this size. These enlarged views are prin-
cipally the scenes of homicides, hit-and-run accidents, suspi-
cious fires and are highly valuable for court purposes. Many
commendations have been received because of the value of
these photographs particularly in arson cases, the jury being
unable to plainly determine the conditions of the burned
premises and a very decided effect is obtained by their intro-
duction and exhibition in court. This same effect on juries
obtains in homicides and hit-and-run cases. The photographic
unit of the Bureau of Records is, to-day, one of the finest
equipped in the entire country. Upon the installation of the
one fingerprint equipment, no fingerprint system in the
country can excel that in this department.
The balHstic unit, with the addition of certain pieces of
apparatus now purchased and to be delivered before the first
of the new year will be as fully equipped a unit for ballistics
as exists in the country with a fully competent balhstician in
charge thereof.
Ballistics being inseparable from photography in many
important essentials, it is plain that the Bureau of Records is
amply equipped in every way to properly undertake any
ballistics problem which presents itself.
The files in this office contain records of all atrests and
assignments made at the Bureau of Criminal Investigation,
also records of all arrests throughout the department where the
offences are of sufficient seriousness to require fingerprints and
photographs. Also on file in this office are reports of all
felonies committed within the city and all reports of the
investigation of those felonies.
In the Identification Division, records are kept of all persons
committed to the Massachusetts State Prison, Massachusetts
Reformatory and the Reformatory Prison for women, including
their fingerprints and photographs, also the records of all
inmates of Suffolk County House of Correction and their
fingerprints.
1933.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 31
In addition to the foregoing, the files contain many thousands
of photographs, fingerprints, correspondence, records, cfippings,
and histories of criminals arrested or wanted in various parts
of the United States and foreign countries.
The main index file was thoroughly modernized by alpha-
betical arrangement during the past year and much of the
obsolete index matter removed so that, with the additions to
this file made in the course of the past year, there are now
approximately 360,000 persons recorded in the files of this
bureau.
During the year 37,720 circulars containing photographs and
fingerprints of persons wanted in this city for various crimes
were drafted and mailed from this office to every city and
town in the United States with a population of 5,000 or more,
State Bureaus of Identification, all Army and Navy Recruiting
Stations, United States Immigration offices and Customs Sta-
tions and to a number of the larger cities in foreign countries.
Photographs of criminals arrested by the Boston Police and
photographs received from other sources are now filed in
segregated cabinets and are constantly being added to. Photo-
graphs received from outside departments are placed in the
foreign segregated file and those taken by this department are
placed in the local segregated file. The photographs of the
criminals are segregated into four distinct sections, namely,
white, negro, yellow and gypsy. Each of these groups is
subdivided according to sex and they are also classified under
the heading of the crime in which they specialize.
The Identification Division has rendered efficient and bene-
ficial service to officers of other police departments in exhibiting
photographs of criminals in the segregated and main files to
victims of robberies, confidence games, pickpockets, etc., and
in many instances, important identifications have been made.
Valuable assistance has also been rendered to government offi-
cials of the following branches: Post Office Department,
Treasury Department, Secret Service Department, Depart-
ment of Justice and Prohibition Department. Similar services
have also been rendered to railroad and express companies.
The fingerprint system has practically eliminated the
Bertillon system as a means of criminal identification. During
the year the identity of hundreds of criminals was established
through the fingerprint files in this division, for this and other
32 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
departments. Among the most important of these identifi-
cations were those of persons wanted for murder and robbery-
while armed.
Members of this division visited the scenes of homicides,
burglaries, robberies, suspicious fires and other crimes and,
in many instances, secured photographs of fingerprints of
the persons who committed these crimes, and in a number
of cases took photographs of the scenes where crimes were
committed. The figures and other data submitted as a part
of this report show a decided increase in the volume of work
done in this unit in the past year.

[Jan.
Of the 96 persons who still stand on the records as missing,
no doubt many will be located in time as the greater part of the
96 persons were reported missing at a comparatively recent date.
I am submitting herewith, also, a table of persons reported
missing from cities and towns outside of Boston, the total
number of which is 1,283. By a careful checkup with reporting
agencies, the records show the number found is 421 and the
total number reported as still missing is 862. Of the 421 persons
reported found, the missing persons' unit was active in assisting
in locating them.

The missing persons' unit also handled approximately 1,231
pieces of correspondence during the year 1932 other than
cases appearing on the tables. These were requests for assist-
ance wherein the police could not take any active part and the
correspondents were so informed promptly and courteously.
Warrant File,
The warrant file for the entire PoUce Department is now kept
in the Bureau of Records. A list of all warrants issued or
received by the Department is sent out each day on the mani-
fold and every officer in the Department receives this list.
Twenty-four hours after the issuance of the warrant, if an
arrest has not been made, a card provided for the station
houses is forwarded to the Bureau of Records with all the
data pertaining to the warrant and case. These cards are
filed alphabetically so that instantaneously it can be told if a
warrant exists in the Department for any person that may be
named.
1933.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 35
Upon service of the warrant, another card goes forward to
the Bureau of Records with the necessary information of
service. All warrants received from outside departments are
cleared through the Warrant Department of the Bureau of
Records. All correspondence pertaining to the movement of
warrants outside of the city proper is carried on through the
Bureau of Records.
Under the rules of the Department, immediately upon
registering of an arrest in the station, if it is upon a warrant,
either for the Boston Police Department or another police
department, or if it is without a warrant and in the judgment
of the officer in command it is sufficiently serious in its nature,
he immediately notifies the warrant unit, reporting the arrest.
This applies to every hour of the day and night. The files are
immediately searched and if it appears that there is a warrant
for the arrested person in any other jurisdiction, the officer in
command of the arresting division is immediately notified,
given full particulars, and the police division in Boston or
outside jurisdiction is immediately notified that the person is
under arrest.
The line-up for the entire Police Department is held at the
Bureau of Records. When a line-up is to be held, all divisions
in the Department are notified to bring forward witnesses, also
Metropolitan Boston is notified by teletype. A record of all
that transpires at the line-up is taken by the Bureau of Records'
stenographer and there have been a great number of identifi-
cations made during the past year. This procedure has
resulted in much closer co-operation between the various police
departments, particularly in Metropolitan Boston. When
identifications are made, not only in cases within our Depart-
ment, but in cases concerning other jurisdictions, the stenog-
rapher types all information pertaining to that case and many
times our stenographer is called into other jurisdictions with
his notes.
Our fingerprint men are often called upon to testify both
in our courts and courts of other jurisdictions when identifica-
tions are made in our files through fingerprints, also where
identifications have been made through latent prints. The
photographers of the Bureau of Records are called principally
before the courts of this city, but on the occasions where con-
nections are made with latent prints for outside cities, the
photographer who enlarges the prints by photography for the
36 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
purpose of charting them for presentation as evidence in court
is also summoned into court to enable the photographs to be
properly introduced.
There have been several occasions in the past where, when
chiefs of police of outside towns and cities have asked for the
service of a fingerprint man and camera in consequence of crime
committed in their jurisdiction, we have co-operated by sending
a fingerprint man properly equipped to survey the scene of
crime and reproduce any prints that may be there.
The Bureau of Records obtained from the Massachusetts
Probation Commission during the period in which we conducted
investigation of public aid cases a total of approximately 6,900
records of individuals, which records were transcribed from the
photographs furnished by the Probation Commissioner on to
our yellow record forms.
Police School.
The school was established for the purpose of increasing
the knowledge and efficiency of members of the Department
and was opened officially on November 16, 1931, finishing its
first term on March 24, 1932. The operation of this school
was placed under the control of an administrative board con-
sisting of three deputy superintendents. All patrolmen with
the exception of those who had reached the age of sixty years
or were excused by the administrative board for sufficient
reason were compelled to attend sessions of the school on other
time than that required for the performance of police duty.
Four sessions of the school were held each day on Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of each week. Each
officer attending school was furnished with a copy of the day's
lecture and ten questions to answer in writing. During the
first term of this school two hundred and ten sessions were held
and a total of 1,898 patrolmen attended. Instruction was given
in fifteen different subjects, such as court procedure, discipline
and deportment, report writing, arrests, narcotic drugs, care
and use of department equipment, etc. Special instruction
was also given to officers of rank on different subjects, such as
arrests, care of department equipment and the proper use of the
Bureau of Records. This year the administrative board was
enlarged to seven members, consisting of two deputy super-
intendents and five captains. Lectures and instruction are
given by a much larger number of officers than in the preceding
1933.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 37
year, as this is believed to be desirable in improving the knowl-
edge of the officers giving the instruction. The second term of
the police school was opened on November 28, 1932, and will
cover subjects additional to those taught last year. It will also
provide different courses of instruction for officers of the rank
of sergeant.
Prosecution for Nuisances.
The method for the suppression and control of vice by
equity process established in 1930 has been continued and found
to be effective as in the past.
Traffic.
For many years the regulation of traffic and the enforce-
ment of traffic regulations were practically centered in two
traffic divisions which covered only part of the city. The
men attached to these divisions had little or no opportunity
to engage in or improve themselves in general police work
and while they were young and active members of the depart-
ment were not given the opportunity to become thoroughly
trained in general police work, nor was the regulation of traffic
in the city uniformly handled, as one of the traffic division
headquarters was located in the Back Bay and one in the
business section of the city. This organization led many
commanding officers to believe that they had no responsibility
in regard to the enforcement of traffic regulations, nor the
regulation of traffic in their divisions.
On September 23, 1932, the two traffic divisions were
abolished and the duties performed hitherto by these divisions
were placed upon the various divisions, making clear to the
division commanders that the responsibility for traffic control
and safety of the public using the highways was an essential
and important part of their duties and should be carried on in
the same manner as all other police functions.
The duties of the Bureau of Traffic were changed, the force
in that bureau being increased and the duty of inspection of
traffic in the entire city placed upon it. The method in brief
being that the Bureau of Traffic through its well trained traffic
officers will take suitable action to remedy promptly any
deficiencies or lack of attention that may be found to exist
in any division, reporting the same to the Superintendent of
Police.
38 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
There was also established in the Bureau of Traffic a traffic
school for the instruction of officers engaged in whole or in
part on traffic work. Altogether this change has made a
super\dsing and co-ordinating agency to study and regulate
traffic matters throughout the city so far as they affect the
Police Department.
The conditions that prevailed in the previous year mth
reference to the enforcement of traffic rules and regulations
have not been remedied. The traffic rules and regulations are
promulgated by the Boston Traffic Commission and it is the
duty of the police to enforce such rules. The Bureau of
Traffic reports on the matter of enforcement during 1932 that
some 90,103 tags were placed upon motor vehicles for various
\iolations of the traffic rules and regulations as compared vnth
89,291 tags placed upon motor vehicles during 1931. Of this
number 62,846 tags were turned in by the operators and
27,257 tags were not turned ia. Of the tags turned in, 9,154
were presented to the courts for prosecution. In reference
to the tags that were not turned in, the names of 6,386 o^Miers
of cars tagged were submitted to the Registrar of ^^lotor
Vehicles.
Until the latter part of 1931 prosecution was successfully
made in the lower courts against owners of vehicles which had
been tagged and the tag not returned. An adverse decision
of the Superior Court in November of 1931 stopped this pro-
cedure. A new regulation to meet this situation was enacted
by the Boston Traffic Commission and became effective
December 14, 1931, providing for the prosecution of the regis-
tered owTier of a vehicle which was found parked in violation
of the traffic regulations. This failed to allow successful
prosecution as the courts refused to grant summonses.
Apparently, the justices of the courts were of the opinion that
this regulation as enacted would not permit the prosecution of
registered owners of motor vehicles. Another obstacle encoun-
tered was that the justices of the Central ^Municipal Court
refused to grant simimonses against operators of motor vehicles
which were tagged unless the officers had either seen the
defendant park the car, or drive it away, or had an admission
from him that he had left the car at the location where it was
tagged. This required the presence in court of the tagging
officer and the desk officer who received the tag when it was
turned in at the station.
Until a proper and legal regulation is promulgated by the
1933.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 39
Boston Traffic Commission, the enforcement of the traffic
rules and regulations by the poHce will continue to be seriously
hampered.
During the past year over one million persons were handled
to and from the many baseball, football games and political
events, particularly during the presidential campaign, without
a person being injured or property damage of an appreciable
extent.
Hackxey Carriages and Stands.
For the two years operating under the provisions of chapter
392 of the Acts of 1930, which became effective February 1,
1931, the new rules and regulations relative to hackney carriages
and stands established on February 1, 1931, by the Police
Commissioner have worked out very well.
The system of issuing tags to drivers for violations of rules
has continued to show good results. During the past year
3,743 tags were issued to taxicab drivers for various violations.
One thousand, seven hundred and twenty-nine suspensions
ranging from one to thirty days, according to the offense, and
24 revocations were made, the remainder being reprimanded
and warned and a record filed for future reference. This sys-
tem of discipline has continued to result in relieving the courts
of many minor cases which would tend to congest their dockets.
Any driver, in accordance with the hackney rules, who is
dissatisfied with the findings of the Bureau of Traffic may
appeal to the Commissioner, and during the past year an
appeal was taken in less than half a dozen cases. There still
continues to be a minimum of crime among the 3,846 drivers
who have been licensed by the Police Commissioner.
At present there are 164 locations for special stands as com-
pared with 161 locations during the past year, and 299 loca-
tions of public stands with a capacity of 749 cabs as compared
with 299 locations with a capacity of 745 cabs during the
preceding year. The total licensed hackney carriages at pres-
ent are 2,034 as compared with 2,461 in the pre\ious year.
During the year there were approximately 200 taxi stands,
both special and public, that were established, removed or
relocated in the interest of public necessity and convenience.
Plant and Equipment.
The central office of the Property Clerk which was formerly
located at Division 2 on ^Nlilk Street was moved to Head-
40 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
quarters on November 29, 1931, and this has proven of material
advantage in the conduct of this branch of the Department's
business.
A new style overcoat has been adopted to replace the long
overcoat, winter riding coat, wagon and boat reefer, and
traffic reefer. This coat will be used for all purposes, eliminat-
ing the necessity of providing some of the members of the
force with two styles of garment, and will save the City of
Boston a considerable sum of money.
Careful consideration has been given to the care of the
firearms of the Department, and all are in excellent condition.
The revolvers carried by the men have been regularly inspected
and repairs made where required. The value of this inspec-
tion has been shown by the decreasing number of major repairs
this year over last.
There are now 20 horses in the Department, two of which
were purchased during the year.
The Department has traded 47 automobiles and purchased
during the year 16 additional automobiles, and there are now
175 motor vehicles in the Department, divided into the follow-
ing types :
9 Utility wagons.
1 Auto ambulance.
20 Combination auto patrols and ambulances (patrol wagons).
90 Automobiles, including sedans, trucks, coupe and tow wagon.
2 Motor prison vans.
53 Motorcycles.
The lost and found branch of the Department has been
active during the year as shown by the following schedule:

The method of obtaining written proposals on bids for the
larger quantities of supplies and materials used by the Depart-
ment, as well as for repairs to Department property, labor
and materials, which was put into general operation last year,
has been continued and this competitive bidding has proven
most satisfactory and resulted in much saving of money for
the City of Boston.
The Superintendent of Police Buildings, who was placed in
charge of all buildings under the control of the Police Depart-
ment last year, and who is in charge of general repairs and
needed alterations, has maintained all police buildings in a
proper condition.
Personnel.
The members of the Police Force in the past year have
conducted themselves on the whole with tact, alertness, ability
and courage. Not a single member on any occasion has hesi-
tated to risk his life either in apprehending criminals or render-
ing assistance to the sick and injured. During the year
ending November 30, 1932, the strength of the uniform force
showed a decline, numbering 2,289 officers at the end of the
year as compared to 2,380 officers on December 1, 1931. Other
employees remained practically unchanged. On November 30
of this year there was a total of 2,454 persons on the roll of
the Police Department.
Division Commanders have made a number of reports
through the Superintendent recommending that certain officers
of their respective divisions be commended in General Orders
for meritorious work in the apprehension of law violators or
for saving lives. The Commissioner, during the past year,
commended in General Orders 1 deputy superintendent, 3
captains, 8 lieutenants, 1 lieutenant-inspector, 40 sergeants,
and 190 patrolmen.
The practice of giving Department Medals of Honor and the
annual Walter Scott Medal for Valor was resumed in December
of 1930. The Superintendent and Deputy Superintendents
acting as a Board of Merit reviewed the meritorious and
courageous acts performed by members of the force in 1929
and recommended the following officers for special recognition
due to acts performed during that year:
Walter Scott Medal for Valor. — Patrolman James J. McGowan,
now of Division 5.
42 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
Department Medals of Honor. — Patrolman James J. Mc-
Gowan, now of Division 5, Sergeant Frank E. Oilman, now of
Division 16, and Patrolman Archibald N. Rintoul, now of
Division 5.
The medals were presented at the annual ball of the Boston
Police Relief Association held in January, 1931.
On the evening of January 12, 1932, the medals for 1930
and 1931 were awarded at the annual ball of the Boston Police
Relief Association, and the following officers were selected for
1930 and 1931 to receive the Walter Scott Medals for Valor
and the Department Medals of Honor:
Walter Scott Medal for Valor for 1930 and Department Medal
of Honor. — Patrolman Owen F. Donovan, Division 2.
Department Medals of Honor. — Sergeant John P. J. Maune,
now of Division 11, Patrolman John J. Falvey, formerly of

1933.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 43
During the year 42 patrolmen have been punished for
violation of Police Rules and Regulations by either suspension
with loss of pay during term of suspension, extra duty, repri-
mands or the placing of complaints against them on file;
3 cases against patrolmen were continued for final disposition.
One sergeant and 6 patrolmen after hearing, were discharged
from the service; 4 patrolmen resigned while charges against
them were pending and complaints against 2 sergeants and
5 patrolmen were dismissed after hearing.
On December 1, 1931, Sergeant John P. M. Wolfe of Traffic
Division 20, died as a result of injuries sustained while in the
performance of duty. His widow was rendered all possible
aid in presenting her case to the Mayor and the City Council,
wherein jurisdiction lies in the matter of providing allowances
for the support of dependents of officers killed or who have
died from injuries received while in the performance of duty.
Expenditures.
During the twelve months period ending November 30,
1932, the total expenses of the Boston Police Department
amounted to $6,044,329.59. This included the pay of the
police and employees, pensions, supplies, expense of listing
(the annual enrollment on April 1 of all persons 20 years
of age or over). In the corresponding period for 1931 the
expenditures totaled $6,173,296.24. The decrease of
.S128,966.65 was due in a substantial part to the fact that
vacancies in the grade of patrolman were not filled in 1932,
and less was expended for police equipment.
There was, however, an increase in the amount paid for
pensions, due to the large number added to the police pension
roll.
In the latter part of this report the financial statement
shows the expenditures of the Department in detail.
Receipts.
In the past police year ending November 30, 1932, receipts
totaled $85,369.58, as compared to $98,858.25 in the previous
year, and this decrease of $13,488.67 in receipts is largely
due to the fact that less has been received for miscellaneous
licenses and from the sale of condemned, lost, stolen and
abandoned property.

The balance of the arrests consisted largely of so-called
minor offences, such as traffic violations, violation of city ordi-
nances, gaming, and miscellaneous offences. Total arrests
for the year amounted to 82,001 of which 76,631 were males
and 5,370 were females. This total compares to 92,131 for the
preceding year.
1933.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 45
In connection with the arrests record it is exceedingly inter-
esting to note that 21,245 persons or 25.90 per cent of the total
arrests during the past year were of persons residing outside
the city limits of Boston. This shows clearly the extent to
which Boston is called upon to perform police work for non-
residents.
The Police Commissioner has attempted to find out what
percentage of arrests in other cities is of nonresidents. This
percentage is so small in other cities that statistics are not kept
of this class of arrests; therefore, it should be borne in mind
in making comparisons of Boston with other cities, either of
the cost of policing or of criminal statistics, that 25.90 per cent
of the arrests in Boston is of nonresidents, whereas other cities
have but a negligible percentage of arrests of nonresidents.
Uniform Crime Record Reporting.
This Department during the past year has continued its
efforts of co-operation in furnishing returns to the National
Division of Identification and Information of the Department
of Justice, Washington, D. C, of the following serious offences:
1 . Felonious homicide :
(a) Murder and non-negligent manslaughter.
(6) Manslaughter by negligence.
2. Rape.
3. Robbery.
4. Aggravated assault.
5. Burglary — breaking or entering.
6. Larceny.
(a) $50 and over in value.
(6) Under $50 in value.
7. Auto theft.
A summary of the returns to the Federal authorities on these
offences is to be found in the table immediately preceding,
under the heading of "Arrests."
Conclusions.
The large number of commendatory letters which have been
received from the public during the past year expressing
appreciation of the service rendered by members of the Depart-
ment show that the Department has gained the confidence of
the public.
46 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
During the past year a senior officer of this Department
visited all the courts in our jurisdiction and talked with the
members of the judiciary, including the clerk of each court,
inquiring as to the appearance of the officers, their methods
and manner of testifying, making out of complaints, tardiness,
and whether or not there were any faults in general and if there
were any recommendations that they could make to aid in
obtaining greater assistance to the courts by the police. The
judges and the clerks were unanimous in stating that they had
no complaints to make and that the officers were conducting
their cases in a very efficient manner and that there had been a
marked improvement in the handling of court cases during the
past year.
The following suggestions are presented for your con-
sideration :
It would be very helpful to the police if they were
empowered with the authority to arrest without a warrant
drivers who operate motor vehicles while under the in-
fluence of intoxicating liquor.
The Registrar of Motor Vehicles should be empowered
with authority to revoke registrations and hcenses of all
persons convicted of felonies, and such hcenses or registra-
tions should not be reissued to them except on approval
of the police.
The pohce should have the authority to destroy all
property seized without warrants where the owners are
unknown if such property has been used for illegitimate
purposes.
The law in reference to lost or abandoned property
coming into the possession of the pohce should be amended
by not requiring the police to sell the lost or abandoned
property by auction in cases where the property is of
nominal value.
The activities of the Department are reported upon in greater
detail in the following sections of this report.
Respectfully submitted,
E. C. HULTMAN,
Police Commissioner for the City of Boston.

(See Table XIII.)
Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
This Bureau, which is a central detective agency of the
Department, is operated on a scale much larger than hereto-
fore because of a considerable increase in the personnel and
additional equipment. It is now operating more efficiently.
The Bureau is open during the twenty-four hours subject to
call for police service at all times.
The activities of this unit cover such a wide field that a
statement of the work of some of its subdivisions may be of
interest.
Automobile Division.
This division investigates all reports of automobiles reported
stolen and is in daily communication with police departments
all over the country.
The automobile index contains records of 400,000 automo-
biles, consisting of cars stolen in Boston, cars stolen in other
places, cars reported purchased and sold, cars for which owners
are wanted and cars whose operators are wanted for various
offences. This index is constantly increasing. Many arrests
are made by officers of the Department and the automobile
division through information obtained from the index.
All applications for Used Car Dealers' Licenses are inves-
tigated by officers of this division. Frequent examinations
are made to ascertain if used car dealers are conforming to the
conditions of their licenses.
In addition to recovering many stolen automobiles, members
of this division during the year identified a number of auto-
mobiles which were recovered or found abandoned on police
divisions, and have assisted in restoring these vehicles to the
owners.
Licenses have been granted since 1919 to individuals, firms
and corporations to act as Used Car Dealers of the First, Second
and Third Classes.

Lost and Stolen Property Division.
A description of all articles reported lost, stolen or found
in this city is filed in this division. All of the surrounding
cities and towns and many other cities forward lists of property
stolen in such places, to be filed. All pawnbrokers and second-
hand dealers submit daily reports of all articles pawned or
purchased. A comparison of the description of articles lost or
stolen and those articles which are pawned or purchased by
dealers resulted in the recovery of thousands of dollars of
stolen property and the arrest of many thieves. Approxi-
mately 150,000 cards were filed in the stolen property index
during the year.
1933.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 55
In addition, members of this bureau visit pawnshops and
second-hand shops daily and inspect property pawned or
purchased for the purpose of identifying property which may
have been stolen.
General.
The number of cases reported at this bureau which were
investigated during the year is' 20,814. There are 55,460
cases reported on the assignment books kept for this purpose,
and reports made on these cases are filed away for future
reference. Complaints are received from many sources, includ-
ing cases referred to the bureau by justices of courts and the
district attorney, in addition to cases reported direct to the
Police Department.
The statistics of the work of the Bureau of Criminal Investi-
gation are included in the statements of the general work of
the Department, but as the duties of this bureau are of a special

Special, Public and Private Hackney Stands.
(Provided for in Chapter 392 of the Acts of 1930.)
Special Hackney Stands.
Under the provisions of the Act above mentioned, the PoHce
Commissioner was empowered to assign to a hackney carriage
hcensee or Hcensees a designated portion of a pubHc way abut-
ting a hotel, railroad station, steamboat pier, or public or
semi-public building as a special hackney stand.
During the year 173 applications for such stands (with a
total capacity of 528 hackney carriages) were received; 164
locations for 514 carriages were granted, and 9 locations for 15
carriages were rejected.
Of these special hackney stand licenses, 9 locations (capacity
37 carriages) were subsequently canceled or revoked; 155
locations (capacity 492 carriages) are now in force.
Public Hackney Stands.
Under the provisions of Chapter 392 of the Acts of 1930,
referred to, the Police Commissioner was directed to designate
certain portions, other than sidewalks, of public ways in Boston,
to be used and known as public hackney stands. Such stands
shall be equally free and open of access to all vehicles whose
owners are licensed in this city to set up and use hackney
carriages, and which vehicles have not been assigned to special
hackney stands.
During the year 1,067 applications for hackney carriage
licenses for such public stands were granted.
Of these public stand licenses 9 were suspended and 5 revoked.
Private Hackney Stands.
Chapter 392 of the Acts of 1930, referred to, provides for the
occupation of private hackney stands (that is, upon property)
by licensed hackney carriage owners.
During the year 24 applications (capacity 370 carriages) for
such private hackney stands were granted.
Sight-Seeing Automobiles.
By the provisions of Chapter 399 of the Acts of 1931, which
went into effect June 9, 1931, the term "sight-seeing auto-
mobile" was defined as follows:
68 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
"The term 'sight-seeing automobile' as used in this act, shall mean an
automobile, as defined in section one of chapter ninety of the General
Laws used for the carrying for a consideration of persons for sight-seeing
purposes in or from the city of Boston and in or on which automobile guide
service by the driver or other person is offered or furnished".
Previous to this enactment a sight-seeing automobile was
held to mean an automobile "which was capable of seating
eight or more persons and was used or offered for the trans-
portation of persons for hire".
A further important change in the licensing of the sight-
seeing automobiles was occasioned by the provision in Chapter
399 of the Acts of 1931, referred to, providing that before
licensing such vehicles (which are not to be classified as "re-
newals" up to and including February 29, 1932), a certificate of
"public convenience and necessity", requiring the operation of
such vehicle, shall be obtained from the Department of Public
Utilities.
During the year ending November 30, 1932, there have been
issued licenses for 34 * sight-seeing automobiles and 28 special
stands for the same.
Of this number there has been 1 license for sight-seeing auto-
mobile revoked; 1 license canceled; 1 license for special stand
for sight-seeing automobile revoked and 2 applications for
special stands for sight-seeing automobiles rejected.
"New" sight-seeing automobile drivers for the year com-
mencing as of March 1, 1932, were fingerprinted as in the case
of "new" hackney carriage drivers, and their records, if any,
searched for in the Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
The fingerprint blank with any record thereon was made a
part of and considered with the application to drive.
There have been 35 drivers' licenses granted and 1 appli-
cation for drivers' license rejected.
Wagon Licenses.
Licenses are granted to persons or corporations to set up
and use trucks, wagons or other vehicles to convey merchan-
dise from place to place within the city for hire. During the
year 2,726 applications for such licenses were received; 2,725
