REPORT.
Headquarters of the Police Department,
Office of the Police Commissioner, 154 Berkeley Street,
Boston, December 1, 1939.
To His Excellency Leverett Saltonstall, Governor.
Your Excellency, — I have the honor, as Police Com-
missioner for the City of Boston, to submit my fourth Annual
Report in accordance with Chapter 291, Acts of 1906, as
amended.
Boston Junior Police Corps.
The modern trend in the attempt to solve human problems
is to seek to curb and correct the causes as well as to heal
and cure the effects. More and more heed is being given to
that ancient adage that "an ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure." To the average man, this modern trend is
perhaps most noticeable in the field of medicine and public
health. For the past half -century doctors and public health
administrators have not only devoted their efforts to per-
fecting the cure of human diseases and ills, but have conducted
a constantly expanding attack on the underlying causes of
disease in an attempt to eradicate the evil at the source. The
part played by government and governmental agencies in
this attack on the roots of physical ills has also constantly
increased. The achievement of the Army, the Public Health
Administration and other affiliated governmental agencies at
the turn of the century in stamping out Yellow Jack, malaria
and other tropical diseases in Cuba and the Canal Zone dramati-
cally demonstrated to the world the tremendous scope and
possibilities of accomplishment in the field of preventive
medicine. The discovery of new serums, tremendous improve-
ments in food inspection methods, new research, clinical and
hospital faciUties, eradication of disease-breeding areas, these
and many other modern improvements have resulted in increas-
ing man's normal life expectancy and practically wiping out
certain diseases which have in past ages decimated the ranks
of mankind.
8 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
The attempt to utilize modern preventive measures in the
war against crime is of even more recent origin than the use
of such methods in other fields of human endeavor. His-
torically, the idea of prevention, as well as the idea of retribu-
tion, is inherent in a system of punishment. Fear of punish-
ment will always be a deterrent to crime. Its efficiency in
this direction is in direct relationship to the certainty of
detection and conviction. An efficient police force, even in
its detecting and prosecuting functions, acts as an agency
of crime prevention. Historically also, it has been well estab-
lished that the inculcation in the individual of sound principles
of morality and good citizenship is and always will be our
greatest safeguard against crime and other anti-social conditions.
In this field, the principal roles have been, and must continue
to be, played by the church, the home, the schools, and the
various social agencies of our community. In this field, how-
ever, the police also may, and, in my opinion, properly should,
play its part. It was in an endeavor to carry out the responsi-
bilities of the Police Department in this direction that I in-
stituted a Junior Police organization in the City of Boston.
The Junior Police organization, however, is not merely an
attempt to enlarge and duplicate similar activities of other
agencies. There are certain phases of the problem toward
the solution of which this organization is peculiarly adapted.
It serves to increase the respect for the Police Department
and the spirit of co-operation between the police and the
general pubHc. One of the drawbacks of the modern, highly
motorized police department is the fact that it has reduced
the ordinary, non-criminal contacts between members of the
police department and the individual citizens of the com-
munity. The police officer patrolling large areas in a cruising
car has far less opportunity for personal contact and personal
acquaintances with individual citizens than the old police
officer covering a hmited beat on foot. His opportunity to
meet and know, and, conversely, to be met and known, by
the children and young people of the community, is particularly
limited. The ideal police officer should be known to the
community as a friend. The general public should be taught
to regard the police as a friendly agency to which to turn
in time of need — not as an impersonal body to be shunned
and avoided unless it be absolutely necessary to deal with them.
Another phase of youth development in connection with
which the Junior Police organization is peculiarly adapted
1940.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 9
is the de-emphasizing of crime and the criminal element and
the placing of law enforcement agencies in a favorable light.
Youth is ever romantic. Too often, this romantic fervor
comes to regard crime as something alluring, adventuresome,
and desirable, and to regard the police as grim, forbidding kill-
joys. The full effects of our Prohibition Era have not yet
worn ofif. In that period crime was, to a large extent, socially
accepted and tolerated. Breaking of the prohibition law was,
in many quarters, not only accepted but encouraged. Large
numbers of people even condoned gang warfare and other
violent crimes — so long as they were restricted to the criminal
elements. Time, however, has demonstrated that such
restrictions never continue. Our youth must be re-educated
to view crime and police work in their true lights — the former
as sordid, and inevitably leading to the normal, physical and
economic degradation of the individual criminal — the latter
as a necessary and highly respectable occupation in our modern
society. Such education cannot be accomplished by lectures
and lessons alone. It must be practically demonstrated. And
police officers are peculiarly fitted to do this task in a practical
manner by making known themselves and their activities.
The Junior Police Force was organized about a year ago.
Its activities were necessarily limited by its experimental
nature and by the financial resources available. It was felt
desirable to proceed cautiously, and build slowly but firmly
upon solid foundations. I assigned to this task a lieutenant
to act as commanding officer, a sergeant to act as his immediate
assistant, and fifteen patrolmen, each to act as the director
of his individual unit. Aside from the salaries of these police
officers and the use of some police facilities, there has been
no expense to the Police Department in connection with the
Junior Police organization. The use of municipal gymnasia
and other municipal facilities has been made available by
his Honor, Mayor Maurice J. Tobin of the City of Boston,
and the heads of various municipal departments. In addition,
I have received personal contributions from many private
organizations and individuals who have become interested in
and anxious to aid these endeavors to aid the youth of our
city. These contributors have expressed a desire to remain
anonymous. Satisfaction in the success of our efforts is their
well merited reward.
May I, at this time, express my thanks and appreciation to
all who have participated in and made possible the full scope
10 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
of the Junior Police activities. To his Honor, Mayor Maurice
J. Tobin, to WiUiam Long, Park Commissioner of the City
of Boston, and to the heads of the other city departments who
have so heartily co-operated in our work. To Lieutenant
William J. Carey, who has so enthusiastically and so successfully
devoted his entire energies to organizing, directing and build-
ing up the Junior Police organization. To his faithful assistant,
Sergeant Francis G. Wilson, and all the patrolmen who have
personally directed the individual units. To the director, the
counsellors and all the other workers who contributed to the
success of our summer camp. And lastly, to those organiza-
tions and individuals who have so generously and unselfishly
contributed financially to make all our activities possible.
The following is a more detailed statement of the activities
of the Junior Police Corps during the past year.
Personnel and Membership.
The actual organization of the Junior Police started function-
ing on October 14, 1938. Fifteen separate units were estab-
lished, each under the active directorship of a patrolman and
the entire group supervised by a lieutenant and a sergeant.
Membership was open to all boys between the ages of 12 and
16, resident in the City of Boston. There is no charge for
membership. The initial membership was 2,500. Since the
inception during the past year, the membership has been
enlarged to 5,000 active members and 10,000 reserve members.
Despite this enlargement of membership, it is still necessary
to keep a waiting list of many hundreds because of lack of
facilities to accommodate greater numbers.
Meetings.
Regular meetings of each unit are held weekly. During
the past year, a total of 600 meetings of individual units
were held with a total attendance of 90,243 boys. These
meetings are held in city-owned gymnasiums located in various
parts of the city. The meetings are called to order at 4 p. m.
and are opened with a pledge of allegiance to the flag. Athletic
exercises are regularly conducted at these meetings by physical
instructors from the Park Department. Lectures are given by
ranking officers of the Police Department or other individuals
who always have an interesting message to deliver to the boys.
The meetings are also featured by organized sport activities
under the direction and supervision of the director of the
unit.
1940.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 11
A membership card is issued to each boy when he becomes
a member of the Junior PoHce. Later, each member may-
qualify for the receipt of a badge by attaining a certain standard
of deportment and attendance at meetings and interest in
the activities sponsored by the organization.
The directors of the individual units report a marked improve-
ment in the posture and athletic ability, as well as a greater
appreciation for law and order, on the part of those who attend
meetings regularly.
Advisory Board.
In addition to the police officer in charge, each unit has a
local Advisory Board, consisting of some of the local school-
masters, teachers, judges, juvenile probation officers, clergymen
of the various religious institutions in the district and social
workers affiliated with established social organizations interested
in juvenile work.
Educational and Recreational Tours.
The director of each individual unit arranged educational
and recreational tours on Saturdays and school holidays for
such members as desired to participate in these activities.
These consisted of trips to historical points of interest, visits
to important municipal buildings and hikes out in the country.
The following is a table of the places visited on such tours and
the total number of boys participating in the tours to each
listed destination:

The total number of boys taken on these visits was 159,225.
Sports.
Baseball, softball and football teams were organized within
the individual units during the seasons usually devoted to such
sports. Inter-platoon competition was held to determine
the champions within each unit, and at the close of each season
a tournament was held at Franklin Field and prizes awarded
to the championship teams of the entire Corps. Various teams
also competed with teams from other youth organizations.
Musical Activities.
In January, 1939, a Junior Police Corps band was organized
under the supervision of an outstanding band instructor. The
meetings of the band are held twice weekly for practice and
instruction. On a third day of each week, the members of
the band receive individual instruction on the instrument they
play. Private instruction is also given to members desirous
of learning how to play an instrument. Membership in the
band ranges from beginners to well-advanced musicians.
During the past year, fifty members of the band have received
a total of 310 hours of class instruction, and 101 boys have
1940.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 13
received a total of 1,180 hours of individual instruction. The
band has appeared at six public concerts, in three parades and
at an amateur show sponsored by the Corps.
In addition to the regular band, "Fun Bands" have been
organized in each of the units. These are made up of instru-
ments such as hai'monicas, accordions, stringed instruments,
sweet potatoes and like instruments. Instruction is given to
such bands once each week. About five hundred members
participated in these activities.
An instructor in voice meets all boys interested in singing
five days a week. About five hundred boys have participated
in this activity during the past year.
Parent Night Exhibitions.
Each of the units held a parent night exhibition at the close
of the school season. These exhibitions were so arranged as
to show the parents the benefits derived by the members from
the Corps by reason of the various physical, musical, handicraft
and other activities engaged in. About four thousand parents
and friends attended these exhibitions.
Patriotic Parades.
Members of the Corps participated in the following patriotic
and civic parades :
Evacuation Day, March 17, 1939, in South Boston — 630 members.
Dorchester Day, June 3, 1939, in Dorchester — 325 members.
Bunker Hill Day, June 17, 1939, in Charlestown — 300 members.
October 8, 1939, Fire Prevention Parade, city proper — 300 members.
Columbus Day, October 12, 1939, East Boston — 400 members.
A total of 1,955 boys participated in parades.
Christmas Parties.
Parties were held in the station houses of the Department
under the supervision of the division commanders at Christmas
time in 1938. Every child in the district who was not receiv-
ing aid from some other agency and whose parents, through
unavoidable circumstances, could not give them a Christmas,
were invited to attend. A police officer in the role of Santa
Claus distributed gifts. Each child received a toy and useful
articles of clothing such as hats, overcoats, underwear, stock-
ings, shoes and rubbers. These parties made it possible for
14 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
some twenty thousand to have a Merry Christmas rather than
one of sadness and disappointment.
Camp Jupoco.
With the approach of summer it was felt desirable that the
activities of the Junior Police should be extended so as to give
those boys who were unable to have any vacation an oppor-
tunity to spend some time away from the city streets. Accord-
ingly, plans were formulated and carried out for the establish-
ment of a summer camp. A site for the project was secured
in the Town of Westwood, about thirteen miles from the
center of Boston. The camp site was located on a tract of
about nine hundred acres of land known as "Scoutland" and
owned by Robert Sever Hale. In less than three weeks the
camp was fitted out and made ready for occupancy. A log
cabin dormitory, large enough to accommodate fifty boys,
and a mess hall and kitchen were erected and fitted out. Sur-
rounding woodland was cleared of vines and undergrowth.
A modern sanitary system was installed. Two swimming
places, a baseball field and horseshoe pitching courts were
created. In a short time the site was transformed into a
complete camp with adequate facilities, set in a beautiful
location.
In order to extend the privileges of the camp to the greatest
possible number, vacation periods at the camp were limited
to one week. The camp season extended from July 3, 1939,
to September 2, 1939, and during this period, vacations were
given to a total number of 612 boys. Selections of those
entitled to vacations at the camp was made principally on the
basis of economic need. Each application was personally
investigated by the officer in charge of the Junior Police unit
of the district in which the applicant lived.
No charge of any kind was made to the boys attending the
summer camp. Transportation, food, clothing, when neces-
sary, and all other materials and services were furnished free
of cost. The actual cost of conducting the camp, per camper,
amounted to about $7.30 per week. The entire expenses of
the camp were defrayed through contributions received from
public-spirited citizens and social organizations.
The activities of the camp were in charge of a police officer
and a trained counsellor experienced in the activities of boys'
camps, assisted by several junior counsellors. The following
camp program illustrates the activities of the camp:
1940.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 15

Reveille and flag raising — 7 a. m.
Calisthenics — 7.05 a. m.

Breakfast — 7.45 a. m.
Camp inspection — 9 a. m.
Games and handicraft work — 9 to 11 a. m.
Swimming under supervision of a life guard — 11 a. m.
Dinner — 12.30 p. m.
Rest period — 1 to 2 p. m.
Games and hikes through the woods — 2 to 5 p. m.
Supper — 5.30 p. m.
Retreat — flag lowering — 6.30 p. m.
Camp Council fire, stories and games — 6.30 to 9 p. m.

During its first year, Camp Jupoco contributed an outstand-
ing service to the under-privileged youth of Boston. It is
fervently hoped that the co-operation and financial assistance
given me in this endeavor during the past year will be continued
and increased so that Camp Jupoco may become a regular
feature of the work of the Junior Police Corps and its benej&ts
extended to an increased number of boys.
Halloween Parties.
On Halloween, October 31, 1939, fifty-one parties were held
in various halls in every section of the city. Invitations were
extended to all members of the Junior Police Corps and to all
the boys and girls of the city generally. These invitations
were extended through the medium of the churches, schools,
clubs and social organizations interested in youth work. Over
one hundred thousand boys and girls attended these Halloween
parties. Activities at the parties were varied and entertaining,
and consisted of moving pictures, orchestral music, .community
singing, vaudeville entertainment and various contests.
Refreshments were also provided to all participants. All
entertainment and refreshments were donated by individuals
and organizations in the community.
From a social standpoint, these parties were a tremendous
success. A splendid time was had by all who attended. From
a police standpoint, these parties were an even greater success.
They served to reduce to a minimum the usual youthful pranks
and annoyances that in the past have made Halloween a
nightmare to law-enforcing agencies and have also in the
past rolled up a tremendous damage expense to the city and
16 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
to individual property owners. In comparison with past
years, Halloween of 1939 was comparatively uneventful and,
at the same time, the boys and girls had a better time than
if they had devoted their energies to the usual mischievous
practices.
First Aid Courses.
Prior to the organization of the Corps, the directors of each
unit were given a rigid course in first aid and were awarded
instructor's certificates entitling them to teach first aid to
others. Weekly lessons in first aid were given by these officers
to all members of the Junior Police. Written examinations
were held upon the completion of the course. Two hundred
and twenty boys successfully passed the first-aid examinations
and were awarded certificates by the National Red Cross.
There have been several instances during the past year in
which members of the Corps who received first-aid training,
have been commended by doctors and hospital officials for the
efficient manner in which first aid was rendered to boys who
had been injured while at play.
Duties of Personnel.
The police officers in charge of the Junior Police work have
not restricted their activities to merely conducting the organiza-
tional features of the Corps. They have attempted in every
way possible to maintain contact with other individuals and
organizations interested in youth activities and effect a means
of co-operation with such persons. They have frequently
consulted the Advisory Boards of the individual units. They
have regularly visited the schools and playgrounds in their
districts and consulted with the teachers and playground
directors. They have attended all sessions of juvenile courts,
met the parents of boys in trouble and endeavored to assist
them in their problems. In brief, they have devoted their
entire energies in every way possible toward aiding the youth
in their troubles and helping them to find clean and wholesome
entertainment and avoid a life of crime.
The officers engaged in youth work have also delivered a
large number of talks at various public and semi-private
schools. These talks have related to safety conditions and
how to avoid accidents. Special appeals were also made to
avoid malicious mischief, particularly at Halloween and like
times. A total of 283 such talks were given at various schools
to audiences of over one hundred thousand pupils.
1940.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 17
The commanding officer of the Junior Police work has also
received a large number of invitations to address various
societies, clubs and other organizations interested in youth
work. He has filled as many as possible of such invitations,
recounting to such organizations the functions and work of
the Junior Police Corps. During the past year he has addressed
156 such meetings.
I have dwelt at some length on the activities of the Junior
Police Corps because in my opinion they represent, as I pre-
viously stated, the outstanding achievement of crime pre-
vention in the Department during the past year. This work
received National recognition through the medium of an
article which appeared in "Liberty Magazine" on February 4,
1939. Subsequently, a condensed version of this article
appeared in the "Readers Digest" in the issue of June, 1939.
I have received several thousand inquiries from all parts of
this country and many other sections of the world commending
the work thus far accomplished in Boston and requesting
further information to enable the sender to institute a similar
organization in his own community. I fervently hope that
the success of this venture will prove an inspiration to those
who seek to form similar groups and that in time there may be
a series of Junior Police organizations capable of co-operating
with and drawing strength and profitable lessons from each
other.
It is, of course, still too early to be able to point out definite
concrete results and benefits to the community at large from
this activity. It is, however, pleasant to note that the number
of cases brought before the juvenile courts of the City of
Boston has decreased during the past year, whereas the general
trend in the average outside community has shown an increase
in juvenile delinquency.
It is my hope to be able to continue and expand the Junior
Police work during the coming year so as to confer the benefits
of the organization on an ever-increasing number of boys.
The summer camp also has proved to be a most beneficial
activity and one worthy of continued existence and increased
scope. For many of these activities, particularly the camp,
it will be necessary to receive private financial assistance.
I am hopeful that the record thus far achieved will inspire the
donation of such financial assistance in increasing amounts.
It is also my desire and hope to increase the means in which
assistance may be accorded to the youth and to the general
18 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
community by police work, which has the beneficial effect of
acting as a deterrent to juvenile crime. The first new step
in the enlarged program to accomplish these aims will be
the estabhshment of a free employment bureau for boys,
within the Department. This will be inaugurated on January
2, 1940, in co-operation with the National Youth Administra-
tion. This Federal organization has agreed to supply the
personnel necessary to carry out the program. The purpose
of the program is to furnish employment to boys and young
men between the ages of 14 and 21 who are residents of the
City of Boston. There will be no charges made in connection
with this service, either to the person seeking work or to the
employer. There will be a main supervising office and sixteen
registering offices located in each of the station houses of the
various police divisions. Notice of the inauguration of this
service will be given to every resident of the City of Boston
in connection with the regular course of police listing carried
out each year in January. Each officer engaged in listing work
will, at the same time, deliver such notices.
We all know that "The Devil finds work for idle hands."
During the past year, we have endeavored to foil the Devil
by providing wholesome amusement and instruction for our
young boys. This will now be implemented by a further
attack on idle hands by making possible the spread of employ-
ment. We will endeavor to procure jobs for boys and young
men whether these jobs be permanent, temporary or merely
casual. I hope that this program will meet the same co-
operation from the citizens of the City of Boston as has the
Junior Police program during the past year.
Sex Crimes.
Last year there was created in the Department a special
squad organized and functioning for the purpose of preventing,
as well as detecting, violations of law relating to sexual offences.
This squad has devoted special attention to the prevention
and eradication of instances wherein perverts, degenerates
and homo-sexualist individuals prey upon juveniles.
It became apparent from the work of this squad that the
most effective weapon in their work was advance information
concerning individuals who had a tendency toward the per-
petration of such crimes. It was discovered that in a great
many instances such crimes were committed by persons who
1940.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 19
had been previously apprehended or convicted for similar
offences or who had otherwise displayed a tendency to commit
such offences.
This squad accumulated and tabulated such information
regarding past and possible perpetrators of sex crimes as was
available from the records of the department. It was felt,
however, that a more efficient machinery should be established
for the accumulation and dissemination to the police of informa-
tion along these lines. I had introduced into the Legislature
a bill entitled "An Act Providing That Local Police Authorities
and District Attorneys be Furnished with Information Relative
to Certain Persons Charged With or Convicted of Sex Crimes,
So-Called, Upon Their Release or Discharge from Certain
Institutions." This Act provided in substance that the Com-
missioner of Public Safety furnish the police authorities of each
city and town and each district attorney, the name, address*
description, photograph and criminal history of every person
charged with or convicted of a crime involving sexual per-
version not less than seven days before the release of such
person from the institution in which he was held.
This Bill was endorsed by the leading newspapers and social
organizations of the State and was finally enacted into law on
April 5, 1939, as Chapter 116 of the Acts of 1939, and incor-
porated into the General Laws as Section 4-B of Chapter 147-
The need for this legislation was emphasized in startling
fashion by the commission of serious crimes by persons soon
after their release from public institutions after serving a
sentence for conviction of a crime involving sexual perversion.
The most flagrant instance of such a case was that of Howard
Long, who was paroled from Concord Reformatory in 1929
after serving a year for an attack on a little girl. The next
year he was committed to Bridgewater State Farm where he
was kept five years for assault with intent to murder on a
little boy in Belmont. He was released on probation from
Bridgewater in October, 1935, and moved to Laconia, N. H.,
in October, 1936. The following year he was convicted of the
sex murder of a ten-year old Laconia boy and sentenced to
be hanged. This case was typical of the after-history of
persons having a tendency toward the commission of crimes
involving sex perversion following their release from State
institutions. Persons who once commit such crimes are much
more apt to yield to their unnatural desires again. This is
20 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
often due to the diseased mental condition of such individuals.
Even when apparently cured, the tendency is apt to recur.
For the protection of the general public and particularly the
children, close surveillance of such persons is most necessary.
Such surveillance cannot be accomplished without the advance
information of the character which this legislative measure
has now made available to all law enforcement agencies.
I also had introduced into the Legislature another Bill which,
in my opinion, will aid the prevention of sex crimes. This
Bill was entitled "An Act Providing for the Licensing and
Police Supervision of Dancing Schools, So-Called, in Boston
and in Certain Other Cities and Towns." This Act provides
in substance that dancing schools must be licensed before
being permitted to be operated in Boston and such other
cities and towns as desire to accept the provisions of the legis-
lative act. Such licensing requirements bring these dancing
schools under the supervision and regulation of public authori-
ties. Properly operated, dancing schools serve a definite
need in the community and are desirable institutions.
Improperly operated, they may become the breeding place
of immorality. This measure is intended primarily to insure
their proper operation. Public dance halls have been licensed
for a long period of time. In many instances, public dances
were operated under the guise of dancing schools to avoid
the licensing provisions of public dance halls. This measure
is also designed to close this loophole to evade the law.
This Bill was enacted into law by the Legislature on June
2, 1939, as Chapter 253 of the Acts of 1939, and incorporated
into the General Laws as Section 185-11 of Chapter 140.
Radical and Subversive Activities.
Recent world developments with their reactions and reper-
cussions in this country have accentuated the need for police
activity directed toward the control of radical and subversive
activities in the community. The Federal Bureau of Investiga-
tion is primarily concerned with this work and has recently
greatly increased the personnel assigned to this particular task.
Congress has voted increased appropriations for this purpose.
In order, however, that this work be carried out with the
fullest possible effectiveness, it is necessary that local authorities
also cover their respective local territories and work in co-
operation with the Federal agencies.
1940.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 21
The City of Boston is fortunate in having had, for a period
of many years, a special squad devoted exclusively to the
control of radical and subversive activities. Boston is the
only city in New England which has had such a specialized
squad. During its years of operation, this squad has done
excellent work. It has accumulated a vast amount of informa-
tion regarding persons who may be engaged in such activities.
It has kept a close surveillance over all organizations and
groups which may be suspected of subversive activities. The
members of this squad have attended meetings of such groups
and become fully acquainted with their organization and plans.
All this information has been carefully tabulated and put
into such shape as to be available for police work. On many
occasions, such information has been made available to, and
has been most helpful to, police departments of other com-
munities. The work of this squad has been specially com-
mended on many occasions by public officials and bodies
interested in this work.
Narcotics.
During the past year the special Narcotic Squad has again
demonstrated its efficiency. The activities of this squad are
devoted exclusively to the suppression of the illegal traffic
in drugs and the apprehension and prosecution of violators of
the drug laws and works in close co-operation with the members
of the Federal Narcotic Bureau. In this period, they have
been successful in the prosecution of several flagrant drug
operators. The relative freedom of the community from the
illegal drug traffic attests to the good work of this squad.
Traffic Safety.
A detailed statement of the activities of the Traffic Division
is contained in a subsequent portion of this report. The
importance of the work of the police in co-operation with other
agencies in the promotion of highway safety cannot be over-
emphasized. The entire Department, and particularly the
Traffic Division, has devoted a great deal of attention during
the past year to publicizing highway safety. The Safety
Educational Automobile has spread the campaign over the
radio and throughout the city. Lectures on highway safety
have been given by members of the Department in schools
and before different organizations. In co-operation with the
Governor's Committee on Highway Safety, a special publicity
22 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
campaign was organized. Daily statements regarding auto-
mobile accidents were issued to the press. A special flag,
bearing the skull and crossbones, was required to be raised
at the station house in every division in which there was a
fatal accident during the preceding day.
The excellent record of the City of Boston in relation to
cities of like size throughout the country is ample evidence of
the success of the Department's efforts to facilitate highway
safety. The work in this direction will be continued and
amplified.
General Activities.
A feature of the duties of the head of a police department,
not usually fully appreciated, is the necessity of maintaining
good relations between the poUce department and the general
public. In furtherance of this activity during the past year,
I have addressed many civic, educational and community
organizations. In turn, I have received many valuable sug-
gestions and ideas from the members of those organizations
which I have addressed. This mutual exchange of ideas has
proved doubly advantageous to the Police Department.
First, in the material assistance such organizations have
rendered to the Department and, second, in the public con-
fidence in the work of the Department created through such
organizations. I was also fortunate during the past year in
having the opportunity of participating in a radio broadcast
over a national hookup which told the story of an important
case handled by the Department.
Sunday, May 7, 1939, witnessed an event which it is hoped
will become an annual feature of the activities of the Depart-
ment. On this day, there was held the first police memorial
Mass and communion breakfast. Attendance at this function
was purely voluntary and open to every member of the Depart-
ment. About twelve hundred members of the uniformed force,
of all religious faiths, attended. The Mass was celebrated at
the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and the breakfast was held
at the Copley-Plaza Hotel. The members of the Department
marched to the church and later, from the church to the hotel,
accompanied by the police band. The speakers at the break-
fast included his Excellency, Governor Leverett Saltonstall;
his Honor, Mayor Maurice J. Tobin; Judge Paul G. Kirk,
Associate Justice of the Superior Court; United States Attorney
Edmund J. Brandon, Msgr. Richard J. Haberhn, representing
1940.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 23
his Eminence William Cardinal O'Connell; and Superintendent
of Police Edward W. Fallon.
In past years I have called attention to the Metropolitan
character of the City of Boston and to the fact that a large
proportion of the work of the Department is rendered for the
benefit of residents of communities other than Boston. This
fact is borne out by the large proportion of automobiles owned
and operated by non-residents of Boston which take advantage
of the traffic facilities of the city. This is also borne out by the
fact that twenty-eight and three-tenths (28.3) per cent of
all the arrests made by the Department involved persons who
w^ere not. residents of Boston. In practically all communities
which do not have a Metropolitan character such as Boston,
the proportion of non-residents to the total number of arrests
made by a police department is usually considerably under
ten (10) per cent.
It is with considerable satisfaction that I am able to report
that the total number of serious offences reported by the
Department, under the Uniform Crime Record Reporting
System established by the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
was less than the preceding year by seven and fifty-nine
hundredths (7.59) per cent and that eighty-one and forty-one
hundredths (81.41) per cent of all cases reported were cleared.
Conclusion.
At this termination of another year of my administration as
Police Commissioner, may I again express my sincere gratitude
and appreciation for the splendid co-operation accorded the
Department by Your Excellency, by the Mayor of the City of
Boston, Hon. Maurice J. Tobin, and by the members of the
General Court who co-operated by enacting such new
legislation as was necessary to enable the efficient conduct of
the Department.
May I express my appreciation to the District Attorney of
Suffolk County, Hon. William J. Foley, and his able staff of
assistants, as well as to the Justices of the Superior Court and
the several municipal and district courts in the city whose
efficiency in the prosecution and dispensation of justice have,
in no small measure, contributed to the splendid record of the
Department.
May I also express my appreciation for the splendid co-
operation of the Superintendent of Police and all the executive
24 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
officials and members of the Department. And lastly, to
the members of the general public for the confidence and trust
they have reposed in the Department and the co-operation
they have extended, both in the ordinary conduct of the
Department and in the new features, such as the Junior Police
Corps, which I have endeavored to introduce.
The activities of the Department are reported on in greater
detail in the following section of this report.
Respectfully submitted,
Joseph F. Timilty,
Police Commissioner for the City of Boston.

to other institutions.
The total years of imprisonment were: 3,633 years (666

limits of Boston. This shows clearly the extent to which
Boston is called on to perform police work for nonresidents.
The Commissioner has attempted to find out what per-
centage 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
28.30 per cent of the arrests in Boston are of nonresidents,
whereas other cities have but a negligible percentage of arrests
of nonresidents.

There was a decrease in cases reported as compared with
1938 of 680, or 7.59 per cent.
Receipts.
In the past police year ending November 30, 1939, receipts
totaled $84,532.41 as compared with $81,667.75 in the previous
year. The increase of $2,864.66 is principally due to the fact
that more has been received for licenses.
Expenditures.
During the twelve months ending November 30, 1939,
the total expenses of the Boston Police Department amounted
to $5,984,948.59. This included the pay of the police and
employees, pensions, supplies, expense of listing ($58,640.70 —
the annual listing on January 1 of all persons twenty years of
age or over), and the maintenance of the Police Signal Service.
In the corresponding period for 1938, expenditures totaled

BUREAU OF CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION.
Its Organization and Duties.
This Bureau, a central detective agency of the Department,
consists of several subdivisions, and is operated on a large
scale and in an efficient manner.
In addition to its divisions for investigation of reports of
automobiles stolen, lost and stolen property, homicide investi-
gations and the line-up, — squads are assigned to cover the
following phase of police work and investigation: Arson, bank-
ing, express thieves, fraudulent claims, general investigation,
hotels, narcotic, pawnbrokers, pickpocket, radical, shopping,
sex crimes and a night motor patrol squad.
Members of this Bureau investigate felonies committed
within the jurisdiction of the City of Boston. They also handle
cases of fugitives from justice and conduct hundreds of
investigations during the course of a year for various police
departments throughout the United States and foreign coun-
tries. Further, they co-operate in every possible way -with
outside police departments in investigation of crime and
prosecution of criminals.
Sex Crime Squad.
The Sex Crime Squad, organized for the purpose of preven-
tion as well as the apprehension and prosecution of perverts,
degenerates and homo-sexuals who prey upon juveniles, has
been successful in the prosecution and conviction of a great
many cases during the past year.
Line-Up.
Commencing as of January 11, 1939, the line-up of prisoners
arrested for criminal offenses, formerly conducted by the
Supervisor of Cases (an office now discontinued), was placed
under supervision of the Commanding Officer of the Bureau
of Criminal Investigation.
At 8 o'clock a. m. each week day all prisoners arrested for
serious offenses are brought by the several stations and units
to Room 403, Police Headquarters, where facts of the case,
together with any record furnished by the Bureau of Records
1940.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 37
pertaining to the prisoner, are given to the officer in charge
of the Hne-up by the arresting officer.
The officer in charge of the line-up then questions the prisoner
and the stenographer records all questions and answers. Not
infrequently, prisoners arrested for serious offenses by police
departments of Metropolitan Boston are placed in the line-up
and interrogated.
When persons are arrested for serious offenses, all divisions
in the Department are notified to bring witnesses to the line-up.
Police departments of Metropolitan Boston are also notified
by teletype, so that they may have witnesses and victims of
crimes view the line-up for identification purposes.
After prisoners have been interrogated individually, they
are all placed in the line-up together, and witnesses and victims,
one by one, view them. When identification is made, the
stenographer, under the direction of the officer in charge of the
line-up, records all statements made by the prisoner and of
identifying witnesses and victims.
Special officers attached to divisions and members of the
Bureau of Criminal Investigation attend the line-up each day,
and record of their attendance is kept by the officer in charge
of the line-up.
Statements recorded by the stenographer are transcribed
and a transcript made ready for use in court. In cases pertain-
ing to outside- police agencies, a copy of the transcript is
forwarded to the police of the city involved.
Statements taken and identifications made at the line-up
have been the direct means of obtaining convictions in a
surprisingly large number of cases. This also is true in cases
tried in the superior courts of other counties where our tran-
scripts have been used.

Automobile Division.
This division investigates all reports of automobiles stolen
and is in daily communication with police authorities of the
38 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
United States and Canada. Many investigations are made in
co-operation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Post
Office Department and Immigration authorities of the United
States.
The automobile division index contains records of approxi-
mately 700,000 automobiles, consisting of cars stolen in Boston,
cars stolen in other places, cars reported purchased and sold,
cars for which owners are wanted, cars used by missing persons
and cars whose operators are wanted for various offenses.
Many arrests are made by officers of the Department and the
Automobile Division through information obtained from this
index.
All appHcations for Used Car Dealers' Licenses are investi-
gated by officers of this division. Frequent examinations are
made to ascertain if used car dealers are conforming to the
conditions of their licenses.
Using mechanical appliances and chemicals, members of
this division during the year identified a number of automo-
biles which were recovered or found abandoned on police
divisions, restoring them to their owners, and have assisted
in solving many crimes by means of their positive identifications.
Used Car Dealers^ Licenses Granted.
During the year 211 apphcations for such licenses were
received. Of these 208 were granted (two without fee), and
4 rejected. Of the 4 rejected, 1 was subsequently reconsidered
and granted, and is included in the total number of 208 on
which favorable action was taken.
One license was canceled for non-payment of the fee.
There was suspension of 3 used car dealers' licenses, and 2
of such suspensions were subsequently lifted.
Of the licenses granted, 12 were surrendered voluntarily for
cancellation, and 11 transferred to new locations. (See Table
XIV.)
Provision for Hearing Before Granting License as Used Car
Dealer of the Third Class.
Under provisions of Chapter 96, Acts of 1938, effective
June 13, 1938, no license shall be issued to a person as a Used
Car Dealer of the Third Class (Motor Vehicle Junk License)
until after hearing, of which seven days' notice shall have
been given to owners of property abutting on premises where
such license is proposed to be exercised.

or stolen and those articles which are pawned or purchased
by dealers resulted in the recovery of thousands of dollars
worth of stolen property and the arrest of many thieves.
Approximately 150,000 cards were filed in the stolen property
index during the year.
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.
Homicide Squad.
It is the duty of officers of this unit to interrogate all persons
involved or having knowledge of the commission of crimes
of murder, manslaughter, abortion or other crimes of violence.
The officers assigned to homicide work, with police stenog-
raphers, are subject to call at any hour of the day or night,
and have been very successful in obtaining confessions and
valuable statements. They are also required to prepare cases
when inquests are necessary. The homicide files contain com-
plete reports of all deaths by violence in Boston, inquests and
also a record of all serious accidents which are reported to the
Pofice Department.

42 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
Minor variations in the statistical data noted above are
due primarily to variation in the types of cases submitted to
the laboratory.
During the past twelve months the Biological Chemist has
been in attendance before courts and grand juries on ninety
days.
Cases submitted to the laboratory have been essentially
similar to those of past years with a slight increase in the
amount of toxicology done. The work at the laboratory is
highly varied: Identification of bloodstains, examination of
tissues, examination of hair, examination of fiber, analyses of
organs for poisons, examination of cloth, analyses of metals,
cement, plaster, confections and miscellaneous items involving:
Oil, tar, charcoal, starch, paper, disinfectants, patent medicines,
lead, acids, alkalis, salts, paint, dyes, dirt, dusting prepa-
rations, etc.
Cases Reviewed.
Each year brings a few cases of unusual interest because of
evidence submitted or found. One this year was a hit-and-run
case in Connecticut. The defendant's car struck a woman
while he was passing a large truck. As the defendant cut in
on the truck, the truck driver noted three of the five digits
of the registration. State police going to the scene recorded
the numbers of passing cars. One included the three digits
given by the truck driver as belonging to a car which cut in
on him at the scene of the accident at the time in question.
Investigation showed that this car had gone to Boston. Inves-
tigation in this city located the car in a local garage in dead
storage. It was placed in the garage some few hours after
the accident.
Examination of the car showed two short hairs about one-
quarter inch long on a door hinge. The surface of the hinge
was scraped for traces of blood. Examination of the hair at the
laboratory revealed that one hair was of natural color while the
other showed traces of an added color such as henna. A
specimen of hair from the deceased was later submitted.
This showed the same characteristics, some hairs being of
natural color and like that on the door hinge, others showing
varying degrees of added color like the other hair from the
hinge.
Examination of the scrapings from the hinge failed to show
any trace of blood. However, some minute fiber fragments.
1940.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 43
apparently rayon, were noted in the specimen. The hat
worn by the deceased was requested and later submitted. It
was a velvet beret, showing a perforation similar in outline
to the door hinge. The pile or nap was of rayon, of the flat
filament type. The rayon pile matched the fragments from
the hinge in type, in width, in color, in all measurable charac-
teristics. It is interesting to note that the size of the fragments
from the hinge ranged from l/35th of an inch to 1/1 25th of
an inch, too small to be definitely seen with the unaided eye.
From these two pieces of evidence, the hair and rayon
fragments from the hinge, it was definitely established that
the car found in dead storage in Boston was the car involved
in the hit-and-run accident in Connecticut. The defendant
was arrested shortly afterward and returned to Connecticut.
In securing proof of knowledge that his car had caused
injury, Rhode Island state police co-operated with Connecticut
in installing a dictaphone by means of which a stenographer
recorded conversations of the defendant in which he clearly
showed such knowledge.
This case is unusually interesting, not only because of the
character of the evidence, but also because the development
of a complete chain of proof of guilt was secured through
co-operation of police in three different New England states.
Several other interesting cases from the viewpoint of evidence
have involved use of the spectrograph. One required analysis
of a minute fleck of paint (about the size of a pencil point)
for its elements. Another was a question of a bullet-hole in an
apron. There were two holes, one presumably an entrance,
the other an exit. The wearer stated that the entrance hole
was made by the bullet, but that the other hole, presumed
to be the exit hole, was in the apron before he put it on.
Fragments of fiber from edges of the holes were taken and
analyzed in the spectrograph. Traces of lead left by the bullet
in passing through the cloth were found at both holes, showing
that one was the entrance hole and the other the exit hole
despite the statement of the man wearing the apron.
These few cases illustrate some of the interesting evidence
in cases submitted to the laboratory.
Co-operation.
During the year the laboratory has had occasion to co-operate
with law enforcement agencies both within the Common-
44 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
wealth and from other states. Cordial relations and free
exchange of knowledge and experience have been maintained.
A technical article on alcohol and carbon monoxide was
published early in the year, reprints of which have been given
on request to technical workers, chemists, toxicologists, etc.,
in various eastern states, the Middle West and Canada.
The chemist has also given a number of talks to various
technical and professional groups interested in the work at the
laboratory.

BUREAU OF RECORDS.
Establishment, Purpose and Equipment. '
The Bureau of Records was established October 17, 1931,
having been merged with that part of the Bureau of Criminal
Investigation known as the Criminal Identification Division.
The unit is of great value and stands in favorable compari-
son with identification units of the most advanced departments.
Advancements and changes are constantly being made to
maintain efficiency and to increase its worth. To bring about
this efficiency of service, equipment of the Bureau is con-
tinually being augmented by addition of modern identification
apparatus, which constantly prove their worth.
A partial list of such equipment is set out as follows :

Multilith.
Installation of a Multilith machine on January 31, 1934,
under direct supervision of experienced operators, enables
this Department to prepare and complete printing of circulars
containing photographs and fingerprints of persons either
reported missing or wanted for criminal offenses. The original
cost of this machine has been saved many times over in the
efficient method of printing such circulars in the Bureau. It
has proved a distinct advantage in issuance of these circulars
which play so important a part in the apprehension of fugitives
from justice.
The Multilith machine is completely equipped with cameras
for preparation of half-tones which add to the varied output
of the machine. This machine is capable of printing in approxi-
mately two hours descriptive circulars of persons wanted, and
in some cases it is possible to complete and mail such circulars
to outside cities before the fugitive arrives at his destination.
Output of Daily Manifolds, Warrant Manifolds, etc.
There were 617,563 impressions turned out on the mimeo-
graph machine, comprising daily manifolds for the Bureau of
Criminal Investigation and Special Service Squad, warrant
manifolds, bulletins and circular letters.
A change of 32 forms had to be set up on loose type and run
off on a Junior Multigraph machine from which a copy was
made and then photographed. There were 73 forms photo-
graphed and 73 forms printed in upon a zinc plate. There
were approximately 95 Multilith plates used by this unit in
the past year and 73 films used. There were 125,000 copies
padded and blocked in 50's and lOO's.
Circulars Drafted, Containing Photographs and Fingerprints
of Fugitives.
During the year 42,800 circulars, containing photographs
and fingerprints of fugitives, were drafted, printed and mailed
from this office to every city and town in the United States
with population of 5,000 or more. State Bureaus of Identifica-
tion, Federal Bureau of Investigation, all Army and Navy

recruiting stations, United States Immigration Offices and
Customs Stations, and a number of the larger cities in foreign
countries. Circulars requesting co-operation in the return

Photographic Division.
The Photographic Division of the Bureau of Records is one
of the finest and most modern in the entire country. Its equip-
ment has been continually added to and renewed with a view
of maintaining a high standard of service.
It forms an important adjunct of the Medical Examiners'
offices and co-operates with those offices in all homicide cases.
The Medical Examiners' Offices are supplied with enlarged
photographs in every homicide case. The efficiency of the
Medical Examiners' Offices is improved by co-operation of
this unit.
Enlarged photographs are filed in cabinets especially built
to accommodate the size. The enlarged photographs are
principally scenes of homicides, hit-and-run accidents, and
suspicious fires, and have proved invaluable for court purposes.
Many communications have been received as a result of the
value of these photographs, particulary in arson cases. Juries
have been greatly assisted in determining the condition of
burnt premises by introduction and exhibition of these photo-
graphs in court. This same excellent effect is obtained in
homicide and hit-and-run cases.
Record Files of Assignments.
Files of this Bureau contain records of all assignments made
in the Bureau of Criminal Investigation, also all records of
arrests made throughout the Department. There are also
on file reports of all felonies committed within the city and
all reports of investigation of these felonies.
48 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
Identification Division.
In the Identification Division records are kept of all persons
committed to the Massachusetts State Prison and Massachu-
setts Reformatory for Women, including their fingerprints
and photographs; also records of all inmates of the Suffolk
County House of Correction and their fingerprints. The
keepers of jails and houses of corrections in the several counties
of the Commonwealth have been requested to furnish this
Bureau with a copy of fingerprints of every inmate and they
have responded favorably. In addition to the foregoing,
the files contain many thousands of photographs and finger-
prints, correspondence, records, clippings and histories of
criminals arrested or wanted in various parts of the United
States and foreign countries.
Main Index File.
The Main Index File foriyis the basis on which all other
files are dependent. It is at all times being checked to maintain
its accuracy. There are now recorded in the Main Index
File 682,050 persons. These include all persons arrested
and fingerprinted in the Bureau, applicants for Hackney
Carriage Licenses, and applicants for Special Police Oflicers'
Licenses, etc.
Criminal Record File.
The Criminal Record files contain a record of each person
whose fingerprints are contained in the fingerprint files. At
the present time there are in the Female Record Files 11,700
records and in the Male Record Files 129,650 such records.
These records are continually being brought up to date by
co-operation with outside departments and the Federal Bureau
of Investigation.
Cabinets of Segregated Photographs of Criminals Arrested.
Photographs of criminals arrested by the Boston Police
and photographs received from other sources are filed in
segregated cabinets. Photographs received from outside de-
partments are placed in the "Foreign Segregated" file and
those taken by this Department in the "Local Segregated"
file. Photographs of all criminals are segregated into four
distinct sections, namely: White, yellow, negro and gypsy.
Each of these groups is subdivided according to sex and is
1940.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 49
also classified under the head of the crime in which the subjects
specialize. The local segregated file contains 32,326 photo-
graphs and the foreign segregated file 14,678 photographs.
Exhibiting of Photogi-aphs of Criminals in Main and
Segregated File.
The Identification Division has rendered efficient and
beneficial service to officers of other departments in exhibiting
photographs of criminals in the segregated and main files to
victims of robberies, confidence games, pickpockets, etc.
In many instances, important identifications have been made
which have resulted in arrests and convictions. Valuable
assistance has also been rendered to government officials of the
following branches: Post Office, Treasury and Secret Service
Departments, Federal Bureau of Investigation and other
government agencies. Similar services have also been rendered
to railroad and express companies.
Members of Bureau Visited Scenes of Homicides, Burglaries, Etc.
Members of this Bureau visited scenes of homicides,
burglaries, robberies, suspicious fires and other crimes and
secured photographs of fingerprints, in many instances of the
persons who committed these crimes, and, in many cases, took
photographs of the scene where the crime was committed-
The figures and other data in connection with the work are
contained in a subsequent part of this report.
Ultra-Violet Lamp {"Black Light'^).
This Bureau has successfully continued in the operation of
an ultra-violet lamp, commonly known as "black light." This
type of lamp is used for detection of forgeries on checks and
altered documents, fraudulent paintings, counterfeit money,
fake antiques and also for photographing of bloodstained
fabrics. Fingerprints that formerly could not be photographed
are now photographed wdth ease through use of luminous
powders such as anthracene or luminous zinc sulphide, due to
radiations emitted by this lamp.
The " Fluoroscope" and "White DriW.
There have been acquired by this Bureau two valuable pieces
of scientific equipment. The first is known as the "Fluoro-
scope." When the rays of this instrument are trained on the
50 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
subject before it, it reveals presence of any foreign substance
concealed either on or in his person: For instance, jewelry,
metal or glass. The finding of glass in clothing of a person
suspected of striking and killing a pedestrian with an auto-
mobile is another example of what the instrument may accom-
plish in detection of crime and criminals. The same is none
the less true of inanimate objects, such as packages containing
bombs, or concealed defects in the mechanism of an automobile
or other object, which may have been responsible for serious
accidents or death of persons. The value of this device in
thwarting criminals is very apparent and will make an important
addition to the scientific equipment contained in this Bureau.
The second piece of equipment before referred to is the
''White Drill," purchased for the purpose of repairing photo-
graphic equipment. This work had been done by commercial
concerns but is now performed by photographers attached to
this Bureau to the greatest extent possible, resulting in large
saving.
Pantoscopic Camera.
One of the most valuable pieces of equipment in the Bureau
is the Pantoscopic Camera, used for the purpose of taking
photographs of bullets connected with homicide cases. By
means of this camera the entire circumference of the bullet
showing cannelure impressions made as it passes through the
barrel of the revolver can be photographed. The impres-
sions shown by the photograph of this bullet are carefully
compared with impressions of a test bullet fired from a revolver
believed to have been used in some homicide. If the test
bullet and the real bullet disclose the same cannelure impres-
sions, there is strong presumption created that the revolver
under examination was the one used in the homicide.
Developing and Printing Room.
Developing and printing of criminal photographs by members
of this Bureau has, since its existence, saved thousands of
dollars. The original practice of having this work done by
private photographers necessarily led to great expense and
delay. A staff of experienced photographers trained in every
phase of police photography, on duty twenty-four hours a day,
is prepared to accomplish any photographic need of the Depart-
ment and to give that type of service which could be rendered
only by the most modern and best equipped photographer.
1940.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 51
In conjunction with increased demands constantly made on
this staff of technicians, and in order that their work might be
maintained on an efficient basis, there has been installed in
the Bureau a developing and printing room which compares
favorably with that of any in this locality.
The installation of this "dark room" has many favorable
advantages. It is located on the same floor as the Bureau,
where all photographs of prisoners are taken, thus eliminating
necessity formerly followed of developing and printing in a
separate part of the building. The room is large, containing
twice the floor space of the old room, large sinks for washing
films, a new Ferrotype dryer and other equipment for pro-
duction of work of high standard. This has been one of the
major changes in recent years in the Bureau and represents
a definite forward step in the photographic division.
Filing System of Photographs and Finger-prints of Unidentified
Dead.
A modern development of the photographic division is
installation of a filing system w^herein fingerprints and photo-
graphs of unidentified dead are filed. The fingerprints are
first sent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and to the
Army, Navy and Marine Corps, in such cases where the
persons are of enlistment age, in an effort to identify these
dead. Failing in this, they are filed in the Bureau of Records
for future reference. Through this method, a large proportion
of tentatively unidentified dead were later identified and
their relatives notified.
Single-Fingerprint Files.
The single-fingerprint files have great potential value in
making identifications of persons committing crime. Here-
tofore, single fingerprints, or two or three, as the case might
be, taken at the scene of a crime, were valuable only for com-
parisons with the ten fingerprints of the person under suspicion,
whether his prints were then in our files or taken later. There
was no method of filing latent fingerprints taken at the scene
of crime up to comparatively recent origination of the single-
fingerprint system of filing by Chief Inspector Battley of the
Fingerprint Division of Scotland Yard, England. The Battley
system of single fingerprints is installed in the Bureau of
Records, and does not weaken in any way the standard system
52 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
of filing fingerprints but is a very valuable addition thereto.
There are, at present, on file in this Bureau 19,000 Battley
single fingerprints and 1,050 latent fingerprints which are
compared with all incoming single fingerprints.
Fingerprint System Practically Eliminating Bertillon
System.
The fingerprint system has practically eliminated the
Bertillon system as means of criminal identification. During
the year identity of hundreds of criminals was established
for this and other departments through fingerprint files of
this Bureau. Identification of persons wanted for murder and
robbery while armed was among the most important made.
Civilian- Fingerprint File .
Another important development of this Bureau was institu-
tion of the civilian-fingerprint file wherein are kept fingerprints
of certain license applicants with suitable index attached.
Its Use in Connection With Applicants for Licenses.
By means of the segregated file, it is impossible for a person
with a criminal record, whose fingerprints are on file, to obtain
a license under an assumed name, because by comparing his
fingerprints with those in the civilian-fingerprint file, it is a
matter of only a minute to determine whether the particular
applicant has ever had, or applied for, a license before. There
are now contained in the civilian files fingerprints and
criminal records, if any, of 9,807 hackney carriage drivers,
631 sight-seeing automobile drivers and 3,455 special police
officers.
Displacement of Conley-Flak System of Fingerprint
Classification.
The Conley-Flak system of fingerprint classification and
filing, in operation in the Boston Police Department since
installation of fingerprints in 1906, has been entirely displaced
and supplanted by the Henry Modified and Extended System
of Fingerprint Classification and Filing, as used in the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, Washington, D. C.
In order to effect the change, some 150,000 fingerprints
were carefully checked by operatives, the formula on each was
revised, and a new type of filing card made out for each set of
fingerprints together with complete criminal record of each
1940.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 53
subject typed thereon, showing deahngs of the individual with
various law enforcement agencies throughout the country.
In such cases where a criminal subject uses one or more aliases,
cross-reference cards were made and filed in addition to the
main card.
In effecting transformation of systems from the Conley-
Flak to the Henry, all fingerprints of persons, who are either
now dead or so old that their criminal career is definitely at
an end, were removed from the active file and placed in a
separate file for future reference. Hundreds of duplicates were
taken from the files and placed in other inactive files. A final
examination was then made to insure correct filing of every
fingerprint and record card. At this writing, it can be truth-
fully said that the fingerprint system of the Boston Police
Department, including method of filing, quality and amount
of fingerprint equipment and skilled operators, is comparable
to the practically infallible files of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, Washington, D. C, after which this Department's
new system was fashioned.

Services of a Draftsman from the Personnel.
A modern development of the Bureau of Records is the service
of an expert draftsman, one of the personnel, who drafts
scenes of crimes for presentation as evidence in court to aid
the government in prosecution of its cases by showing the jury
the exact location and surroundings at the scene. During the
course of the year, the draftsman visited scenes of various
serious crimes where he took measurements and later drew
to scale twenty-seven individual plans. Twenty-three of these
have been used as exhibits in the following courts within
jurisdiction of Boston :
Municipal Court 6 days.
Grand Jury of Suffolk County 5 days.
Superior Court 36 days.
Many of these drawings have not as yet been exhibited in
any court, but will be presented when cases to which they
relate come to trial. There were also made fourteen drawings
of special and miscellaneous matters for use of the Police
Department.
The drafting room is fully equipped with all necessary
instruments required for efficiently handling this work.
Crifninal Records for the Department Furnished by the Bureau.
All criminal records for the entire Department are furnished
by the Bureau of Records, as well as certified copies of con-
victions for presentation in courts, both here and in other
cities.
The following figures represent requests received for these
records from December 1, 1938, to November 30, 1939:

Identification Made Through Fingerprints.
Our fingerprint men are often called on to testify both in
our courts and in courts of other jurisdictions, when identifica-
tions are made in our file through fingerprints; also, where
identifications have been made through latent prints.
56
POLICE COMMISSIONER.
[Jan.
Photographers of the Bureau are summoned principally
before courts of this city, but on occasions where connections
are made with latent fingerprints for outside cities, the pho-
tographer who enlarges the prints for 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 many occasions in the past when chiefs
of police of outside cities and towns have asked for services of
fingerprint and photography experts in consequence of crime
committed in their jurisdiction, and the Department co-
operated by sending these men, properly equipped, to survey
the scene of crime and reproduce any prints available for
evidence.
Missing Persons.
The Missing Persons Division, a branch of the Bureau of
Records, is performing a fine type of service to citrzens of
Boston and surrounding cities and towns. Its chief function
necessarily is to aid families in the location of their relatives
reported lost or missing. It performs valuable service in
identification of unknown dead persons found in various
sections of the city whose relatives have been located. With-
out this service, such identified dead persons might have been
interred with those unfortunates in potter's field.
During the course of the year, the Missing Persons Bureau
co-operated with various State institutions in the location and
return of many wards who have left these institutions without
permission.

Persons Interviewed. — At the missing persons' office there
were interviewed about 750 persons relative to cases handled.
This does not include the number interviewed at other various
units and divisions of the Department.
Correspondence. — There were handled by the unit approxi-
mately 3,800 pieces of correspondence relating to location of
friends and relatives.
Circulars. — About 6,500 descriptive circulars and recti-
graphic copies of photographs of missing subjects were sent
out from the unit.
58 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
Tracers. — There were sent out approximately 7,000 tracers
on persons reported missing.
Amnesia Cases. — Nine cases of amnesia came to the attention
of the Department and in each identification was established.
Deaths. — There were recorded by the unit 157 cases of
deaths due to natural causes in which the Department aided
in establishing identification and location of relatives. These
do not include cases of death in which the police were called
and immediate identification secured.
In an effort to establish identification of unknown dead
bodies, fingerprint impressions of 43 deceased persons were
taken. In 31 cases identifications were secured through finger-
print files of either the Bureau of Records, Boston Police
Department, Massachusetts State Bureau of Identification,
Federal Bureau of Investigation, or files of the United States
Marine Corps, United States War Department or Bureau of
Navigation of the United States Navy.
Warrant File.
Procedure as to Warrants Issued to or Received by this Department.
The warrant file for the entire Police Department is now
kept in the Bureau of Records. A list of all warrants issued
to or received by this Department is sent out each day on the
manifold and every officer in the Department receives a copy
of this list. Twenty-four hours after issuance of a warrant,
if the person named therein has not been arrested, a form card
is forwarded to the Bureau of Records by the station house
with all the data pertaining to the warrant and the case.
These cards are alphabetically filed so that almost instan-
taneously it can be ascertained whether a warrant exists in
the Department for any person that may be named. On
Service of the warrant another card goes forward to the Bureau
of Records with the necessary information of service.
Warrants Received from Outside Departments, Etc.
All warrants received from outside departments are cleared
through warrant files of the Bureau of Records. All cor-
respondence pertaining to movement of warrants outside of
the city proper is handled in the Bureau of Records. Com-
manding Officers of this Department are required, under the
rules and regulations, to notify the Warrant Division of an
arrest on warrants issued to the Boston Police Department
1940.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 59
and all other police departments, also when arrests are made
without a warrant involving serious crimes. The rule applies
to this procedure every hour of the day and night. The
warrant files are immediately searched. If it appears that
there is a warrant for the arrested person in any other juris-
diction, the officer in command of the arresting division or
unit is immediately notified and given full particulars and
the police division or unit in Boston or outside jurisdiction is
immediately informed that the person is under arrest.

Summons File.
Establishment and Purpose.
On December 14, 1936, there was established in the Bureau
of Records a summons file for the purpose of facilitating service
of summonses. All summonses for service outside the City
of Boston obtained by the several divisions and units are
forwarded to this Bureau where they are recorded and sent to
the Chief of Police of the city or town where the defendant
resides. Summonses received from other police departments
for service in this city are in the same manner recorded and
sent to the respective divisions and units for service, and after
service has been made, are returned.
The following figures represent summonses received from
outside cities and towns for service in Boston from December 1,

TRAFFIC. .
The Traffic Division, established May 22, 1936, is located
in quarters on the fifth floor of PoUce Building, 229 Milk
street.
The Traffic Division includes territory within boundaries
of Divisions 1, 2, 3, 4 and 16, and the traffic post at Cottage
Farm Bridge.
The Commanding Officer of the Traffic Division is responsible
for the proper regulation of traffic conditions and for safety
of the public using highways in territory under jurisdiction of
the Traffic Division, daily, from 8 a. m. to 12 midnight.
Activities.
This was a difficult and trying year for officers of the
Traffic Division for the reason that there was a great influx of
tourists and visitors from other parts of the country to this
city, as well as other persons coming to conventions held at
the various hotels.
The Traffic Division was also confronted with a most
troublesome problem in free movement of traffic in some of its
arteries, such as Huntington avenue, where subway work is
now going on, and will be for some time; Atlantic avenue, where
construction work is being done on a Works Progress Adminis-
tration project, as well as Washington Street North, in which
another W. P. A. project, now in operation, is well near
completion.
It is expected that Washington Street North will be a very
helpful artery in expediting movement of traffic from the city
proper into the Charlestown district.
With a traffic regulation now in its trial period (which, it
is expected, will be made permanent), the Charlestown Bridge
is "one way" from Keany square to City square, and the
approach to the Warren Bridge, "one way" from Rutherford
avenue to Causeway street. This traffic arrangement has
helped in great measure to prevent minor delays and has
augmented the free flow of traffic.
While the Traffic Division has had to cope with these trying
situations (in themselves, impediments to the free flow of
traffic), it has also had to look after movement of traffic in
1940.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 63
the Back Bay section, as well as the heavy down-town flow.
Especially has it had to give consideration at busy locations,
such as the North and South stations, Boston Garden, Sumner
Tunnel, Boston Arena, Mechanics Building, Symphony and
Horticultural Halls, Boston Opera House, Fenway Park,
steamboat wharves and the theatrical section.
In the market section, the handling of out-of-state tractor
trailers, coming to this district in large numbers, has added
greatly to our burden. These large trucks, arriving in the
early morning, entangle our streets on their approach to the
market section and slow up conditions to such an extent that
arrangements had to be made by the Commanding Officer of
the Traffic Division to detail traffic officers in the market area
as early as 6 o'clock a. m. to solve the problem, for which
efforts the Traffic Division was highly commended by the
President of the Fruit and Produce Exchange in Quincy
Market.
A grave problem has been created by these extraordinary
large vehicles and sooner or later arrangements will have to be
made to locate them in sections of the city other than the
narrow territory in the market district.
The division was called on by the Board of Street Commis-
sioners to make arrangements for large parades, such as the
Veterans of Foreign Wars, whose members held their National
Convention in this city in August of 1939; the Ancient and
Honorable Artillery Company, Boston School Cadets, Columbus
Day parade, October 12; Armistice Day parade of the American
Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars, November 11; the
Santason parade. Thanksgiving Day, sponsored by the Jordan
Marsh Company and various others. These parades were
handled with co-operation of other police divisions in such an
excellent manner that letters of commendation were received
by the Police Commissioner and Superintendent of Police.
It is also the duty of the Traffic Division, in conjunction
with the Boston Traffic Commission, to make arrangements
for procuring signs to be placed in the streets, notifying the
public that parades are about to approach; of restrictions as
to parking to conform with such signs; the shutting off and
turning on of automatic signal-control lights; to make recom-
mendations to the Boston Traffic Commission concerning
restrictions of parking in certain streets, or of places where
automobiles should be allowed to park; and many other
64 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
suggestions that might be helpful to improve traffic conditions.
All such recommendations are made, however, only after
exhaustive inspection and study of various problems con-
cerned. The recommendations are then for consideration
and determination of the Boston Traffic Commission as to
their worth and possible adoption.
The Traffic Division has cared for the welfare of many
tourists and members of organizations coming to this city to
attend conventions with headquarters at the various large
hotels, such as the Hotel Statler, Copley-Plaza Hotel and
others of like character; the Kiwanis Convention in June, the
National Tuberculosis Association Convention during the same
month; American Disabled Veterans of the World War, during
the latter part of July and the first of August, and the Veterans
of Foreign Wars Annual Convention in August, — all of which
were handled in such a fine manner that splendid letters of
praise were received by this Department.
The Traffic Division also provided escorts to and satisfactory
arrangements for distinguished visitors to this city during
their stay in Boston, such as their Royal Highnesses, the
Crown Prince Olav and Crown Princess Martha of Norway,
in July, and the Right Honorable Lord and Lady Provost
Dollar of Glasgow, Scotland.
Some of the duties successfully accomplished by the Traffic
Division were the handling of over 1,000,000 persons who
attended baseball games at Fenway Park, regulation of
thousands of automobiles with their passengers at entrance to
the Sumner Traffic Tunnel during the horse-racing season
at Suffolk Downs, East Boston district. May 15 to July 22
(inclusive), 1939; poHcing of approximately 1,000,000 people, —
many of them children of tender age who attended the Santa-
son parade along its route on Thanksgiving Day, — without
injury or serious mishap to any, and the efficient handling of
the large number of persons that attended and participated in
the Veterans of Foreign Wars Convention and parade during the
latter part of August.
Tagging.
During the period, January 1, 1939, up to and including
November 30, 1939, the Traffic Division forwarded parking
notices to owners of 104,111 motor vehicles for illegal parking.
This shows conclusively indifference of the public in co-operat-
ing with the Police Department iri enforcement of parking
1940.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 65
rules; and shows, further, that presence of a police officer is
necessary at all times in practically every street to rigidly
enforce traffic regulations, if undue criticism is to be prevented
to our Police Department for alleged laxity in enforcing traffic
rules and regulations.
The regulation of the Boston Traffic Commission now in
effect :
"Parking of passenger vehicles is prohibited from
8 a. m. to 9.30 a. m., except on Sundays and holidays,
in the district bounded by the southwesterly line of
Dartmouth street, the southwesterly line of West Dedham
street, the southwesterly fine of East Dedham street,
South Bay, Fort Point Channel, Boston Harbor, Charles
River and Charles River Basin"-— —
was adopted March 27, 1939, for a trial period.
When first adopted for a trial period in March of 1939 the
prohibited hours of parking in the territory stated were between
7 o'clock a. m. and 9.30 o'clock a. m.
On June 5, 1939, the time of such prohibition was changed
to 8 to 9.30 o'clock a. m. for a further trial period.
The regulation became permanent August 14, 1939.
This rule has been the means of ridding our streets (particu-
larly in the down-town congested area) of long-time or all-
day parkers. It was necessary, however, to detail to the
Traffic Division fifty police officers from other divisions for
extended periods, to assist in enforcement of this rule, until
such time as operators of automobiles became convinced that
the police were in earnest, and until the effect desired was
obtained.
While there was much opposition to the rule on the part
of salesmen and others doing business in the territory described,
during its trial period, they have now apparently become
reconciled to the fact that the regulation has become a help
to all concerned. It is rarely now that complaint is received
on this score.
Safety Educational Automobile.
The Safety Educational automobile, assigned to the Traffic
Division, has been in continuous operation on the highways of
Boston during the past year, educating motorists as to the
proper manner in w^hich they should operate their automobiles
66 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
and instructing pedestrians as to the proper places and manner
in which they should cross the street. Through constant and
persistent short safety talks by officers assigned to this car,
the general public has become more accident conscious than
it was a year ago.
Daily, from Monday through Friday, between the hours of
9.15 and 9.30 o'clock, a. m., the safety car goes to Governor
square, Back Bay district, where safety talks are given over
radio station WORL (located in the Myles Standish Hotel)
on a wave length of 920 kilocycles, by two well-trained officers
of the Traffic Division. A portable microphone is set up in
this busy square and. an interesting and instructive program
broadcast to all tuned in on this wave length.
During this particularly novel phase of Safety Education,
talks are given on topics which have to do with the general
public, such as attention to automatic signal lights. Motorists
are invited to speak on the radio. Questions usually are
asked by one of the officers assigned to the safety automobile
as to the proper manner in which one should conduct himself
while operating his automobile; general knowledge of the
motor vehicle law and traffic rules; and what one should do
when confronted with certain situations which arise daily, from
time to time. Operators are also invited to give suggestions
for better pedestrian safety, and safer operation of automobiles.
Advice is sought which might be helpful to the public in this
line, and also aid in reducing accidents upon our highways,
causing fatalities and personal injury.
Each Saturday, between the hours of 9 and 9.30 o'clock
a. m., broadcasts are given over radio station WORL by mem-
bers of the M-1 Safety Squad (organized under direction of
the Police Commissioner, during the early part of 1939), its
membership consisting of children of school age, 16 years of
age or under.
This Squad was formed to impress upon the minds of
children safety teachings of the M-1 car, and the fact that
they are taking an active part in this work. These meetings
are conducted by the Squad Commander, a patrolman of the
safety car. All members and friends are invited to witness or
participate in this program.
During the past year, officers in the safety car visited and
gave safety talks and demonstrations (using a portable minia-
ture signal-control light), at some 752 schools in the city,
1940.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 67
public, parochial and private, at which approximately 375,000
pupils, 1,700 teachers and 19,000 parents of children were
present.
During the summer season, the car visited 36 park depart-
ment playgrounds and participated in safety shows under
supervision of a Director of Physical Education, as well as
giving safety talks at other park department activities, at
which gatherings it is estimated some 144,000 adults and
289,000 children assembled. The car was also present at the
"Soap-Box Derby" at Suffolk Downs race track, July 29,
at which approximately 45,000 adults and children were
present; as well as at the "Easter Egg Hunt" at Franklin
Field, in April, where 20,000 persons, mostly children, gathered
to participate in or observe this event.
During school vacation period in the summer, the car
rendered excellent service to children gathered at school
playgrounds, giving safety talks to approximately 50,000
young persons.
The car, with its officers in charge, has also been called on
to appear at gatherings of employees of large trucking concerns,
telegraph offices, theatres, business establishments, and civic
and fraternal organizations, where safety talks have been
given to employees of these various concerns or to persons in
attendance at organization meetings.
During the past year, many calls have been received for
officers in the safety car to visit other cities and towns to give
talks along safety lines, after which the city or town has
requested advice and co-operation of this Department to
establish similar safety programs, particularly as affecting
school children.
As a result of this splendid program conducted by the
Safety Educational Car, under direction of the Police Com-
missioner, many complimentary letters have been received
from persons in various walks of life. There has been notable
reduction in fatalities to children of school age during the
year 1939 compared with that of 1938. Further, it is pointed
out that at the present time the City of Boston is in first place
in the United States in the minimum number of fatalities on
account of motor vehicle accidents for cities of over 500,000 in
population. This may be attributed in great measure to the
splendid campaign being waged by the Safety Educational
Automobile.
68 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
These safety talks and excellent work done by officers of
the Traffic Division have met with approval of many cities
and towns, as is evidenced by the fact that the Commanding
Officer of the Traffic Division is constantly in receipt of com-
munications from persons in authority in these various places,
requesting information relative to work done by this Safety
Educational Car, as well as inquiring what might be done in
their various communities to build up a program that would
result in the excellent conditions that now obtain in Boston.
Communications on traffic control and regulation have been
received from all over the United States, and even an extensive
questionnaire from Durban, South Africa. A visit was received
from an official associated with the London governing body,
sent from England to study traffic conditions in the United
States. It is the impression of the Traffic Division that
Boston was selected by our visitor for this information on
advice of the National Safety Council, Washington, D. C.

BUREAU OF OPERATIONS.
Creation.
This Bureau was created July 11, 1934.
The Bureau was detached from the Superintendent's office
and established at Police Headquarters as a separate unit,
April 2, 1937.
Duties.
This Bureau has control of all communications equipment,
consisting of telephone, teletype, radio and telegraph, and
through radio facilities controls movement of all radio cars
patrolling the city and also poUce boats in the harbor.
A vast majority of all telephoned complaints, reports and
requests for information from the general public are handled
by officers of the Bureau.
Accomplishments.
During the poHce year from December 1, 1938, to November
30, 1939, personnel of this Bureau managed transmission,
reception and handling of:
Approximately 978,000 telephone messages and about
7,150 toll calls made by the Department.
125,802 teletype messages, including filing of same and
making and delivering copies of such messages, as neces-
sary, to the proper Bureau or Unit.
1,055 telegrams, including filing of same and making
and delivering of copies to the proper Bureau or Unit.
4,100 teletype items for persons reported missing by
Divisions and Units of the Department and other cities
and towns delivered to the Bureau of Records and cards
filled out for files of the Bureau.
242,360 radio messages sent, including dictaphone
recording of same and transcription from records to the
radio log.
Several thousand lost and stolen automobile forms filled
out and delivered to the automobile division of the Bureau
of Criminal Investigation, 2,954 of which were reported
stolen in Boston, together with records made and delivered
of all recovered cars, copies of both kept in the files of the
Bureau of Operations.
70 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
A daily journal was kept in which all of the foregoing,
together with reports of crimes, deaths, accidents and other
matter submitted by divisions and units of the Department,
were recorded.
A file was maintained of the entire personnel of the Depart-
ment, with name, rank and cap number, together with the
address, telephone number and date of appointment.
Two main-radio transmitters, 78 car and 4 boat transmitters
and receivers, 18 wired broadcast amplifiers and 8 pick-up
receivers were maintained and kept in repair by personnel of
the Bureau.
Installation of an Additional Main-Radio Transmitter.
An additional main-radio transmitter of 250-Watt capacity
was installed on the roof of the new Court House building,
Pemberton square. This is operated by remote control from
the dispatcher's desk at Police Headquarters.
Since installation of this additional transmitter, radio service
has been uninterrupted.

BALLISTICS UNIT.
Formation and Duties.
The activities of this Unit, with its personnel, were trans-
ferred from the Property Clerk's office to the Superintendent's
office, October 11, 1935.
With a Sergeant-BalHstician in charge, the office consists of
experts in ballistics, handwriting, typewriting, moulage, explo-
sives, munitions, and also a gunsmith.
The Sergeant-Ballistician, under direction of the Superin-
tendent of Police, has charge of the care and custody of all
firearms, explosives and substances of explosives coming into
possession of the police.
The Sergeant-Ballistician prepares cases where balHstic
evidence is required, so far as bullets, shells, firearms or explo-
sives are concerned, and appears before the court in such cases
to give evidence.
The Document Examiner prepares cases where handwriting,
typewriting, erasures in documents and questioned printing,
watermarks, staplings, paper and ink are concerned, and
appears before the court in such cases to give evidence.
Accomplishments .
During the year members of the Unit responded to 47
emergency calls after regular working hours, and put in many
extra hours of duty. Three hundred and fifty hours of duty
were performed in this manner. Two hundred and eighty-six
days were spent in court by members of this Unit on ballistics^
handwriting and moulage cases.
Of the total cases, ballistics numbered 305 (which included
examination of firearms, explosives, bullets, shells and sus-
picious substances); handwriting and typewriting cases and
questioned documents 175, and moulage cases, 6.
For identification purposes, additional specimens of tire
treads, plate glass, gunpowders, shot, bullets and shells fired
from various types of arms, pistols, revolvers, rifles and shot-
guns, typewriter specimens, burglars' tools, foreign and
domestic ammunition, firearms, arson setups, instruments of
abortion, powder patterns, narcotics, gas munitions and
moulage casts have been added to the Unit.
72 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
For efficiency of the Unit the following material was added
to the equipment: Forty-two official police '38-calibre special
revolvers, nineteen detective model '38-calibre special revolvers,
and a special sound-proof acoustic device for testing firearms of
all descriptions.
One hundred and fifty revolvers and 90 riot guns were
serviced and repaired, in addition to servicing the following
equipment located at the various police divisions and units:
2,447 revolvers, 10 Thompson sub-machine guns, 110 gas
billies, 60 gas projectors, 60 Springfield rifles, 23 tear-gas guns,
110 riot guns, 60 gas masks, 60 bullet-proof vests, tear-gas
munitions and 4 38-55 high powered rifles. By repairing and
servicing our own equipment, substantial savings w^re made.
Approximately 2,000 handwriting specimens or exemplars
were classified and filed into the classification file at this office
for use in questioned handwriting cases. To date, between
25,000 and 30,000 handwriting specimens have been filed for
this purpose.
Seventy groups consisting of club, fraternal, social service
and others have visited the Unit during the year, in addition
to other persons. Between 4,000 and 5,000 visitors were
shown through the Unit. Also members lectured to business
and social groups in various parts of Greater Boston.
Members of the Junior Police Corps, accompanied by
instructors, have been taken through the Unit on many occa-
sions and its functions explained in detail.
During the year members of this Unit attended lectures
and demonstrations offered by the National Guard and manu-
facturers of munitions and ammunition on the subject of com-
bating civil disorders. Information thereby obtained was
passed on to the members of the Department.
The portable lighting equipment which is part of the Ballis-
tics Unit was used during the year by searching parties at
scenes of crimes.
Ninety-three handlights carried in the cruising cars were
serviced and repaired during this period.
MOULAGE.
Substance known as moulage has been used to good advan-
tage to establish the type of instrument used in a number of
''breaking and entering" cases, and was presented to the
court to establish proof. A number of specimens were made
1940.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 73
for the medical examiners in Suffolk and other counties in the
cases of violent death for use in court.
Serial Numbers on Firearms.
There were a number of cases during the year where serial
numbers on firearms, locks, instruments and bicycles were
erased and had to be treated with chemicals to identify them.
Identification resulted in tracing ownership of most of these
articles.
Tear-Gas Munitions.
This Department assisted officers of the city of Everett in
quelling what might have been a serious disorder with the use
of tear-gas munitions which were furnished to the city of
Everett.
The members of the Department were further instructed in
the use of tear-gas munitions during the drills held at the First
Corps Cadet Armory during the year.
A new Riot Squad Battalion has been formed which includes
shotgun companies, machine gun platoons and a tear gas unit.
The equipment for use by this battalion is serviced and kept
in good working order by the Ballistics Unit.
Disposition of Confiscated Explosives.
In the past year a number of mill bombs, hand grenades,
projectiles, fixed ammunition, dynamite, also caps for same;
railroad torpedoes and other explosive materials, including
powders which have come into police hands from various
sections of Metropolitan Boston were disposed of, with a
view for safety, in the waters of the outer Boston Harbor.
Miscellaneous.
An interchange of evidence is carried on by this Unit with
all Federal agencies and police departments. Bullets and
shells and handwriting exemplars are mailed to other enforce-
ment agencies, to aid in the arrest of criminals.
All evidence in homicide cases is kept for safekeeping in the
vault at this office. It is properly marked and stored away
until needed in court.
All police divisions and units are now equipped with a
sufficient supply of emergency equipment to handle any situa-
tion. Periodic inspections are made of all such equipment
carried in the divisions and units, and replacements are made
when found necessary.
74 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
SPECIAL SERVICE SQUAD.
On January 22, 1936, the Special Service Squad was formed
and operated out of the office of the Superintendent of PoHce.
Effective as of April 16, 1936, the Squad was detached from
the Superintendent's Office and established at PoHce Head-
quarters as a separate Unit.
As of October 4, 1939, the Squad was abohshed, its duties
to be carried on under direction of the Commanding Officer of
the Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
The Squad was established for the purpose of performing
night-patrol duty in motor vehicles throughout the city.
During its tenure, it was the duty of officers of the Squad,
so far as possible, to prevent commission of crime, and if
acts of violence or other serious crimes had been committed,
to arrest and prosecute offenders.
The office of the Special Service Squad was open at all times
for police purposes, with an officer on duty.
At the time of its consoUdation with the Bureau of Criminal
Investigation, the personnel consisted of one captain, two
lieutenants, two sergeants and thirty-two patrolmen.
The Squad was divided into two platoons, one platoon work-
ing from 6.15 p. m. to 1 a. m., and the other from 1 a. m. to
7.45 a. m.
Its officers, dressed in civiUan clothes, covered every section
of the city, and rode in two-way radio-equipped automobiles,
challenging and investigating all suspicious persons, question-
able pleasure vehicles, motor trucks and taxicabs.
In addition, members of the Squad, during their tour of
duty, in search of suspicious persons and persons wanted for
the commission of crime, visited licensed premises, including
cafes, taverns, restaurants, clubs, pool rooms, dance halls,
theatre lobbies, parking places, railroad and Elevated stations
and places known which might be frequented by the criminal
element.
Figures of arrests of the Special Service Squad are included
within those of the Department as shown in this report.
As the Squad as a separate unit was in existence for practic-
ally ten months of this police year (December 1, 1938, to
October 4, 1939), a resume of its activities is presented herewith:

COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM.
The Signal Service Unit is responsible for the maintenance
of the signal system of the Department.
During the year, 2 signal boxes were moved to new locations
(1 each on Divisions 6 and 16), and several miles of cable were
placed underground in conformance with law.
Officers' Recall and Citizens' Alarm features are now in-
stalled in all police divisions and patrol boxes in the city.
Individual line telephone service for each patrol box has been
found advantageous and now all signal boxes are so equipped.
New cable and cable joints were installed by the signal
service at a great saving in cost to the Department.
Five miles of new cable were installed, replacing some of
the old cable retained in the new system.
Seven signal boxes, struck and damaged by motor vehicles,
were replaced with new equipment.
Ten taxicab signs, struck and damaged by motor vehicles,
were replaced with new signs.
76 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
PLANT AND EQUIPMENT.
The Property Clerk's Office is charged with the care of all
lost, stolen and abandoned property, money or other property
alleged to have been illegally obtained, and all articles and
property taken from persons arrested for any cause. In its
custody are also placed all seized liquor and gaming implements
which come into possession of the Department.
All orders for supplies, building maintenance, repair work,
plumbing, steamfitting, etc., uniforms and equipment are
issued by this office. Bills therefor are checked with the cross-
record system maintained for the purpose of comparing prices
before such bills are prepared for payment.
During the year 89 motor vehicles came into custody of
this office; 68 vehicles were returned to legitimate claimants,
and 20 vehicles were sold at public auction. There are now 20
motor vehicles in custody.
This office is responsible for the receipt, care and distribution
of uniforms and equipment to members of the police force,
and also for the repairing and salvaging of reclaimed garments
and equipment. An individual record of items of uniform and
equipment issued to police officers is maintained.
A maintenance shop for the servicing of Department auto-
mobiles is located in the basement of Station 4. The shop is
operated on a twenty-four hour basis. During the year 5,700
Department cars were repaired at the repair shop in Division
4 and 1,250 cars were serviced. (Servicing includes greasing,
changing of oil, checking of battery and electrical equipment,
brakes, cooling systems, tires, steering systems, wear of clutch,
etc.) Also, 90 Department cars and 93 privately-owned cars
were towed by the Department wrecker. A radio-repair shop
is attached to the maintenance shop where a twenty-four hour
daily service is maintained. The Department operates a
motorcycle repair shop, now located in the rear of Division 19,
where 475 motorcycles were repaired and serviced during the
year.
The Supervisor of Automotive Equipment is responsible
for the inspection of all Department vehicles, all garages in
the various divisions and is required to investigate and report
on all accidents involving Department vehicles.

with last year.
There were no horse-drawn carriages Ucensed during the
year.
There were 65 articles, consisting of umbrellas, coats, hand-
bags, etc., found in carriages during the year, which were
turned over to the Office of Inspector of Carriages; 46 of these
were restored to the owners and the balance of 19 placed in the
custody of the Lost Property Division of the Property Clerk's
Office.
Continuing with the hackney carriage license year as of
February 1, 1939, "new" appHcants for hackney carriage
drivers' licenses were fingerprinted by the Department, as
has been the custom, and their records, if any, searched for
in the Bureau of Records.
The fingerprint blank with any record thereon was made
a part of and considered with the application to drive.
The following statement gives details concerning public
hackney carriages, as well as licenses to drive the same:

Limitation of Hackney Carriages.
Under the provisions of Chapter 280, Acts of 1934, effective
June 12, 1934, the Pohce Commissioner was required to fix
a hmit for the number of hackney carriage Ucenses to be issued,
which limit shall be based upon the number of licenses then
issued and outstanding but shall not be in excess of 1,525,
and he may from time to time, after reasonable notice and a
hearing, decrease the number so fixed, but in no event to a
number less than 900.
In accordance therewith, the Police Commissioner on July
20, 1934, by General Order to the Department, set the number
of hackney carriage licenses to be in force at 1,525.
If a hackney carriage license applicant is refused a license
by reason of the fact that the maximum number of licenses
limited under the Act referred to has been issued, the Depart-
ment of Pubhc Utilities, on petition of such apphcant, may
after a hearing determine that public convenience and necessity
require a higher limit than that fixed by the PoUce Commis-
sioner or previously established by said Department, and shall
96 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
establish the Hmit so required, in which case the limit set by
said Department shall be considered final until changed as
herein provided.
Abolishing Special and Public Hackney Carriage Stands.
In accordance with Chapter 508, Acts of 1938,—
"An Act with Relation to PubHc Stands for the
Use of Taxicabs and Motor Vehicles for Hire in
Cities . . . ,"
accepted by the City of Boston, the Police Commissioner as of
February 11, 1939, at 7.45 o'clock a. m., abolished all special
and public hackney carriage stands, granted in accordance
with Chapter 392, Acts of 1930.
Establishing Public Taxicab Stands.
In accordance with Chapter 508, Acts of 1938, referred to,
the PoUce Commissioner as of February 11, 1939, at 7.45
o'clock a. m., established public taxicab stands in the City of
Boston, which stands are free and accessible to all taxicabs
whose owners are licensed by the Police Commissioner.
(See list of public taxicab stands on file in the Office of the
Inspector of Carriages.)
During the year ending November 30, 1939, there were
established 410 pubhc taxicab stands, with capacity for 1,132
licensed taxicabs and motor vehicles for hire.
Hackney Carriages.
The total number of licensed hackney carriages at present is
1,367 as compared with 1,433 in the previous year; this num-
ber being limited in accordance with Chapter 280, Acts of
1934.
Private Hackney Stands.
Chapter 392 of the Acts of 1930, referred to, provides for
the occupation of private hackney stands (that is, upon prop-
erty) by licensed hackney carriage owners.
During the year 19 applications (capacity, 361 carriages)
for such private hackney stands were granted and a license
designation for one location (capacity 4 carriages) canceled.

Sight-Seeing Automobiles.
By the provisions of Section 1 of Chapter 399 of the Acts of
1931, which went into effect June 9, 1931, the term "sight-
seeing automobile" was defined as follows:
"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 automoble "which was capable of seating
eight or more persons and was used or offered for the transpor-
tation of persons for hire."
It is further provided by Chapter 399, Acts of 1931, as
amended by Chapter 93, Acts of 1933, that it shall be unlawful
for a person or corporation to offer or furnish service by a
sight-seeing automobile in or from the City of Boston, unless
said automobile is first licensed by the PoHce Commissioner,
and unless thereafter there is obtained from the Department
of Public Utilities a certificate, declaring that public convenience
and necessity require such operation; and further, it is
provided that it shall be unlawful for a person to operate said
automobile as a driver in or from said city unless he is Ucensed
so to do.
During the year ending November 30, 1939, 27 applications
for designated stands for sight-seeing automobiles were granted;
1 license was revoked and 2 designated stands were abolished.
During the year, 35 applications for licenses for sight-seeing
automobiles were granted; 1 license was revoked.
Continuing with our practice, "new" sight-seeing auto-
mobile drivers for the year commencing as of March 1, 1939,
were fingerprinted as in the case of "new" hackney carriage
drivers, and their records, if any, searched for in the Bureau
of Records.
The fingerprint blank with any record thereon was made
a part of and considered with the application to drive.
There were 34 sight-seeing drivers' Hcenses granted.
98 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
Issuing of Tags for Hackney Carriage Violations.
The system of issuing tags to drivers for violations of rules
has continued to show good results. During the past year
195 tags were issued to taxicab drivers for various violations.
One thousand nine hundred and fifty-three penalties were
imposed (including 7 suspensions), and 54 revocations were
made, the remainder being reprimanded and warned and a
record filed for future reference. This system of discipline
has continued to result in relieving courts of many minor
cases which would tend to congest their dockets.
There still continues to be a minimum of crime among the
3,314 drivers licensed by the Police Commissioner.
Appeal Board.
In accordance with Hackney Carriage Rules and Regula-
tions, hackney carriage drivers and owners dissatisfied with
findmgs of the Inspector of Carriages, have the right of appeal
to the Commissioner, provided appeal is made in writing within
forty-eight hours of date of finding.
Such appeals are heard by an Appeal Board, consisting of a
Deputy Superintendent of Police and two Captains, designated
by the Commissioner.
Hearings on such appeals shall be public; the appellant
shall have the right to be represented by counsel, to introduce
evidence and to cross-examine witnesses.
The Board shall file its report and recommendations with
the Commissioner who takes such action thereon as he deems
advisable.
In accordance with such provision, many matters of appeal
from imposition of penalties (as well as fitness of applicants
for hackney carriage drivers' licenses whose applications had
been rejected) were referred by the Commissioner to the
Board.
Supervisory Force.
Since February 11, 1939, when public taxicab stands were
established in accordance with law, and then existing special
and public hackney carriage stands abolished, the Supervisory
Force of the Office of Inspector of Carriages (now consolidated
with the Traffic Division) enforced rules and regulations of
this Department relating to conduct at and occupancy of
public taxicab stands by licensed hackney carriage drivers.
1940.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 99
In addition, during the past year such Supervisory Force
has been very busy in the Blue Hill avenue section of Boston
suppressing activities of taxicab operators who engage in
illegal practice of bringing so-called "loads" to the intown
section of the city, in violation of Section 1, Chapter 408. Acts
of 1931, which reads as follows:
"No person shall, except as otherwise provided in this
chapter, operate any motor vehicle upon any public way
in any city or town for the carriage of passengers for hire
in such a manner as to afford a means of transportation
similar to that afforded by a railway company, by indis-
criminately receiving and discharging passengers along
the route on which the vehicle is operated or may be
running ... "
This policy has resulted in reducing these activities to a
minimum, and the procedure will be followed continuously
until such illegal practices have ceased.
Wagon Licenses.
Licenses are granted to persons or corporations to set up
and use trucks, wagons or other vehicles to convey merchandise
from place to place within the city for hire.
During the year, 103 applications for such licenses were
received and granted. Of these 1 license was subsequently
canceled for nonpayment of license fee. (See Tables XIV,
XVI.)
Commencing as of July 1, 1931, two kinds of wagon licenses
were issued:
1. For the licensee who operated from an office,
garage, stable or order box, the license stated that it was
"Not at a designated stand in the highway."
2. For the licensee who required a definite stand, the
license stated that it was "For a designated wagon stand
in the highway."
Applications for such designated stands were accompanied
by written approval of owners, lessees or official representatives
of abutting property.
Of the 103 granted, 61 were for licenses from offices, garages,
stables or order boxes, and 42 were for designated stands in
the highway.
100 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
Note.
Legislation affecting motor vehicles transporting property
for hire:
Chapter 122, Acts of 1937; effective June 21, 1937.
"No person holding a certificate (common carrier) or a
permit (contract carrier) issued under the provisions of
(Chapter 264, Acts of 1934, by the Department of Public
Utilities) and authorizing the transportation of property
for hire by motor vehicle within the City of Boston shall
be required to obtain a license from the Police Commis-
sioner for said city on account of such transportation or
the use of motor vehicles therein."
The legislation referred to did not affect customary pro-
cedure of this Department in issuing a "wagon" license for a
horse-drawn vehicle or for a hand-cart to convey merchandise
for hire.
A motor vehicle for which there has been issued a certificate
or permit by the Department of Public Utilities, authorizing
transportation for hire, shall not be required to be also licensed
by the Police Commissioner on account of such transportation
for hire m this city.
However, should it be intended to locate such motor vehicle
at a designated stand in the highway in the business of trans-
portation for hire, the owner thereof, to lawfully occupy such
designated stand, has no alternative but to take out a "wagon"
license to be granted by the Police Commissioner.
