REPORT.
Headquarters op the Police Department,
Office of the Police Commissioner, 154 Berkeley Street,
Boston, December 1, 1940.
To His Excellency Leverett Saltonstall, Governor.
Your Excellency, — As Police Commissioner for the City
of Boston, I have the honor to submit to you the thirty-fifth
Annual Report of this Department, in accordance with Chapter
291 of the Acts of 1906, as amended.
General Conditions.
During the past year, notwithstanding that the police were
confronted with a multitude of extraordinary duties, as this
report shows, the Department has functioned with such loyalty
and interest in the enforcement of law that the community
in which we live continues to be one of peace and harmony.
Imposition upon this Department of activities which might
seem to be of non-police work has added to the arduous duties
of our depleted force. However, the Department performed
its many tasks and fully co-operated with all law enforcement
agencies and with the various courts.
According to figures of the National Census Bureau, as of
1940, Boston, with a population of 770,816, ranks ninth in
size in the country.
About three million of the population of the state live within
the circumference of thirty miles of the centre of the city.
It is not to be expected that a city of the size of Boston will
be without problems for the police on account of wilful and
heedless violators. Our citizens should feel proud that crime,
as one understands it, is not such a major problem as it is in
other large cities. It is apparent, fortunately, that there
exists within our confines no groups of so-called racketeers or
gangsters that function with any degree of success.
Crime statistics of the country compiled by the Federal
Government place Boston near the top in control of criminal
8 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
tendencies. The Department can justly claim that this
condition is due to a rigid, just and humane enforcement of
law by the police.
Of the major offenses reported by the Department it is
gratifying to note that there has been a marked decrease in
the number of such offenses during the year. Of the persons
arrested by the members of this Department for the past
pohce year, totalhng 87,739, over twenty-seven per cent were
not residents of the City of Boston.
Traffic.
The traffic problem becomes greater each year. There are
approximately 14,000 more automobiles registered in Massa-
chusetts today than a year ago. Many of these cars are
in Greater Boston. Several conferences were held with the
Mayor, the Traffic Commission, the Chamber of Commerce
and other civic organizations on traffic. The problem would
seem to be one more of engineering than of law enforcement.
In attempting a solution the convenience of the pubhc and
the prosperity of merchants and manufacturers, as well as
others, must be given consideration. A concentrated effort
has been made to have motorists obey the traffic laws and
rules. During the year about 115,000 traffic notices were
served for parking violations.
Boston stands in second place for safety with reference to
accidents involving automobiles in the larger cities of the
nation. Credit for this is due in a great measure to the effi-
ciency of the pohce and the activity of the safety car which
lectures daily at schools, organizations, outdoor meetings,
street corners, etc.
Police Administration.
In addition to regular police work, during the past year
many special and extra details were necessary, causing the
members of the Department to work many extra hours. Some
of the reasons were the American Legion Annual Convention
with its mammoth parade, the "40 and 8" parade, voting for
presidential electors, the state primary, the regular national
and state election, several conventions, visits by President
Franklin D. Roosevelt on official business and during the
campaign, the visit of Mr. Wendell L. Willkie, etc. So effective
1941.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 9
were the police during the National Convention of the American
Legion that several commendatory letters were received from
visitors from all parts of the country, many tributes were
paid by the National Officers, and there were several favorable
newspaper editorials.
It was very thoughtful of Your Excellency to commend the
work of the police during the Legion National Convention.
Your interest in the members of the Department is greatly
appreciated by them.
The extra work was especially trying on many occasions
because of the shortage of approximately 200 patrolmen.
The men gave willingly of their time to the service and without
complaint.
Morale of the Department.
The morale of the personnel of the Department is excellent.
The members are active, energetic and most cooperative,
always giving their best in the prevention of crime, the detec-
tion and apprehension of law-breakers, the protection of life
and property and the preservation of peace.
The absence of crime will alone prove whether or not those
efforts have been successful and the objects for which the police
were appointed have been obtained.
Junior Police.
The Junior Pohce Corps now has 17,000 members. It has
many different activities. The most popular during the past
year was the summer camp located in the Blue Hills, at which
about 5,000 boys spent a vacation of a week. For many of
these boys it was the first time they had ever been outside
the city.
In order for the Corps to function it was necessary to have
funds. Money was raised by contributions and by the Junior
Police Corps' Jubilee held at the Boston Garden, at which a
varied and entertaining program was arranged showing many
of the functions of the Boston Police Department and the
Junior Police Corps. It was a huge success and it afforded
the public an opportunity for the first time to appreciate the
work of the Corps. Some of the activities of the group are
choral singing, gymnastics, various games, the Junior Police
Corps' Band, Red Cross demonstration, first-aid emergency,
10 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
etc. The funds realized from the Jubilee made it possible for
the summer camp. The usual Halloween parties were spon-
sored and they were attended by thousands. It is expected
that the Corps, during the coming year, will meet with greater
success than ever before.
Under the direction of the commanding officer of the Junior
Police Corps, a Boston Police Department Free Employment
Bureau for boys was established on January 2, 1940, in
co-operation with the National Youth Administration. Dur-
ing the year a very large number of positions were filled through
this bureau.
The actual number of male juvenile offenders during the
past year was 1,461. This figure does not include such book-
ings as violation of probation, lost children, defaults, non-
residents and runaways, which are not mala in se. The number
of offenses committed by these 1,461 boys amounted to 2,222.
Several boys had more than one offense booked against them.
There were two boys in one section of the city who were
arrested and booked for 52 offenses. However, the number
of juvenile offenders continued to decrease. This was due in a
great measure to the Junior PoHce Corps. It is certain that
this organization is having a definite favorable effect on the
conduct of juveniles.
Emergency Battalion.
In keeping with plans and preparations of the Federal Gov-
ernment for the defense of the country during the present
situation abroad, the Emergency Battalion of the Department
was reorganized and increased in personnel to approximately
550 men for the purpose of coping with any emergency that
might arise as a result of the war conditions, hurricanes,
floods, or other catastrophes that might happen. The Bat-
talion consists of riot-gun companies, machine-gun platoons,
a special service squad, a rescue platoon and a radio section.
The Battalion is available for immediate service at any time.
At the conclusion of this year I wish to again thank Your
Excellency for the splendid co-operation given to the Depart-
ment, for which I am very grateful.
I also extend my appreciation to the Mayor of the
city. Honorable Maurice J. Tobin; the District Attorney,
1941.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 11
Honorable William J. Foley; the City Council and justices
of the various courts, for their splendid co-operation.
The members of the Department deeply appreciate the
confidence and trust of the citizens and will continue to serve
them to the utmost of their ability as in the past.
Statistics dealing with matters of Department expenditures,
arrests, personnel, etc., will be found in the body of the report.
Respectfully submitted,
Joseph F. Timilty,
Police Commissioner for the City of Boston.

that 24,013 persons, or 27.36 per cent of the total arrests
during the past year, were persons residing outside the city

limits of Boston. This shows clearly the extent to which
Boston is called on to perform police work for non-residents.
The Commissioner has attempted to find out what per-
centage of arrests in other cities is of non-residents. 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 27.36 per
cent of the arrests in Boston is of non-residents, w^hereas
other cities have but a negligible percentage of arrests of
non-residents.
For the twelve months ending November 30, 1940, as com-
pared with the same period ending with November 30, 1939,
a brief comparison of the number of arrests for major offenses
may be of interest and is submitted below :

A recapitulation of the foregoing shows the following:
Cases Per Cent
Reported. Cleared. Cleared
1939 8,269 6,732 81.41
1940 7,861 6,229 79.23
A comparison shows a decrease in clearance from 1939 of
2.18 per cent.
There was a decrease in cases reported as compared with
1939 of .408, or 4.93 per cent.
Receipts.
In the past police year ending November 30, 1940, receipts
totaled $78,402.34 as compared with $84,532.41 in the previous
year. The decrease of $6,130.07 was due to the fact that less
had been received for licenses and from other sources.
Expenditures.
During the twelve months ending November 30, 1940,
the total expenses of the Boston Police Department amounted
to $5,866,783.96. This included the pay of the police and
employees, pensions, supplies, expense of Usting ($56,180.46 —
the annual listing on January 1 of all residents twenty years
of age or over), and the maintenance of the Police Signal
Service.
In the corresponding period for 1939, 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 inves-
tigations and the line-up, — squads are assigned to cover the
following phases of police work and investigation: arson,
banking, express thieves, fraudulent claims, general inves-
tigation, 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.
Automobile Division.
This division investigates all reports of automobiles stolen
and is in daily communication with police authorities of the
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 applications for Used Car Dealers' Licenses are inves-
tigated by officers of this division. Frequent examinations are
made to ascertain if used car dealers are conforming to the
conditions of their licenses.
Using mechanical appliances and chemicals, members of
this division during the year identified a ixumber 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.

POLICE COMMISSIONER.
[Jan.
Used Car Dealers^ Licenses Granted.
During the year 210 applications for such licenses were
received. Of these 209 were granted (five without fee), and
4 rejected. Of the 4 rejected, 3 were subsequently recon-
sidered and granted, and are included in the total number of
209 on which favorable action was taken.
There was suspension of 2 Used Car Dealers' Licenses,
and both suspensions were subsequently lifted.
Of the Hcenses granted, 11 were surrendered voluntarily for
cancellation, and 14 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 Hcense 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
Hcense is proposed to be exercised.
Hearings to the number of 40 were held under this provision
of law.

Lost and Stolen Property Division.
A description of all articles reported lost, stolen or found
in this city is filed in this division. All the surrounding cities
and towns and many other cities forward lists of property
stolen in such places to be filed. All pawnbrokers and second-
hand dealers submit daily reports of all articles pawned or
purchased. A comparison of the description of articles lost or
stolen and those articles which are pawned or purchased by
dealers resulted in the recovery of thousands of dollars' worth
of stolen property and the arrest of many thieves. Approxi-
mately 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 pur-
chased for the purpose of identifying property which may have
been stolen.
HoMiqiDE Squad.
It is the duty of officers of this unit to interrogate all per-
sons involved in or who have knowledge of the commission of
crimes of murder, manslaughter, abortion or other crimes of
violence. The officers assigned to homicide work, with police
stenographers, 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

Biological Chemist.
Summary of the Year's Work.
Work at the Laboratory.
The chemical laboratory of the Boston Police Department,
located at the Southern Mortuary, was first opened on
February 19, 1934.
During the intervening period work has been carried out on
more than 1,700 cases, involving some 19,000 tests.

Work of the laboratory is highly varied, including different
kinds of forensic chemistry required by the Department as
well as various toxicological problems encountered by medical
examiners for Suffolk County. A brief summary shows:
analysis of organs for poisons, identification of bloodstains,
30 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
examination of tissues, fiber, hair, eloth, dust, etc.; analysis
of metals, cement, plaster, confections and miscellaneous indus-
trial products; co-operation with the ballistics expert on prob-
lems involving chemistry such as powder-pattern records,
diphenylamine tests for discharge of a firearm, etc.; and
co-operation with other units in problems involving chemistry.
Attendance of the Biological Chemist Before Judicial Bodies.
During the past twelve months the chemist has been in
attendance on courts and grand juries on 52 days.
Use of Chemistry to Develop Certain Types of Evidence.
Use of chemistry to develop certain types of evidence is
obvious. With other cases and other problems it may not be
so clear, and judgment of the investigating officer is a primary
factor in such cases being brought to the laboratory. Success-
ful prosecution of a number of these each year shows a con-
stantly improving coordination of the laboratory with police
work, and a better understanding by investigating officers of
what the laboratory can do to solve their problems.
Cases Reviewed.
Some of these cases are reasonably clear: As in one of mali-
cious destruction of property where sugar was assumed to have
been added to oil in an automobile. The special officer had
the oil drained, brought to the laboratory and the laboratory
found sugar present.
Others which dealt with keen observation and physics are
not so clear. In a hit-and-run case, a suspected car was found,
showing characteristic dents and a missing spotHght lens. An
officer had picked up a small fragment of curved glass at the
scene. A few tiny chips of spotlight-lens glass were found in
the retaining-ring of the spotlight. Curvature and thickness
of the scene fragment were found to be those of a spotlight
lens. Density of the scene fragment and spotlight chips cor-
responded exactly. Both differed very minutely from a
purchased replacement lens, used for demonstration, and
differed greatly from various types of bottle glass. The frag-
ment of glass thus completed the picture.
In another automobile case involving a lens, fragments of
glass found at the scene were submitted, together with frag-
ments taken from the car headlamp. Manufacturer's mark-
1941.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 31
ings, density, etc., all corresponded. The fragments were laid
upon a table at the laboratory and studied in odd spare
moments. As the lens was slowly reconstructed, there were
found two fragments from the scene which matched perfectly
pieces from the car headlamp, proving beyond all possible
doubt that this car was the one involved.
In automobile cases, brushmarks or cloth imprints are often
found on the car. In a number of cases it has been found
possible to connect these marks to clothing of the injured
person by observing character and type of the mark, measuring
characteristics, and then comparing these to construction of
cloth in garments worn by the injured person.
One case brought a very unusual occurrence: the presumed
weapon was a razor with a tiny chip missing from the blade.
This minute chip (less than |-inch long) was found by the
medical examiner in the deceased's wound. It was cleaned
at the laboratory and fitted perfectly to the defendant's razor.
In mentioning these pieces of evidence, it may be noted that
photography is essential to presentation of evidence in court.
The fragment of the razor was small and could be easily lost
in handling. An enlarged photograph of the fragment fitted
to the razor blade w^as more effective than handling and losing
the minute fragment. Likewise in fitting the headlamp-lens
fragments together: an enlarged photograph of the matching
was more effective than holding two pieces together for exami-
nation. Also, cloth imprints in dust on a car are easily de-
stroyed, while an enlarged photograph may be swiftly compared
to the garment. These illustrate the value of full coordination
of units of the Department.
Co-operation With Other Agencies.
The laboratory has co-operated with various other govern-
mental agencies in police work. In co-operation with the State
Department of Education, two lectures were given at a police
institute gathering sponsored by the University Extension
service.
During the year the chemist has also had occasion to deliver
a number of illustrated talks to various lay groups interested
in use of chemistry in criminal investigation.

BUREAU OF RECORDS.
Establishment, Purpose and Equipment.
The Bureau of Records was established October 17, 1931,
having been merged Avith 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.
Improvements and changes are constantly being made to
maintain efiiciency 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 prove of value under daily tests.
A partial list of such equipment is set out as follows:
1 4x5 Speed Graphic-graflex, back fitted with Kalart Synchronized Range
Finder 51" Carl Zeiss Tessar lens, in Compus Shutter, No. 2049398
(ground glass back).

Multilith.
Installation of a Multilith machine, 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
efiicient 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 apprehension of fugitives
from justice.
The Multilith machirie 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 585,475 impressions turned out on the mimeo-
graph machine, comprising daily manifolds for the Bureau of
Criminal Investigation, warrant manifolds, bulletins and
circular letters.
A change of 18 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 45 forms photo-
graphed and 45 forms printed in upon a zinc plate. There
were approximately 87 Multihth plates used by this unit in
the past year and 45 films used. There were 125,000 copies
padded and blocked in 50's and lOO's.
Because of increased production of work handled by the
printing unit of this Bureau, it was found necessary to add a
new high-speed mimeograph machine to the printing equipment.
Circulars Drafted, Containing Photographs and Fingerprints
of Fugitives.
During the year 39,500 circulars, containing photographs and
fingerprints of fugitives were drafted, printed and mailed from

population of 5,000 or more, State bureaus of identification,
the Federal Bureau of Investigation, all army and navy recruit-

stations, and a number of the larger cities in foreign countries.
Circulars requesting co-operation in the return of eight missing
persons were sent to all important cities in the East and prac-
tically to every city in Massachusetts.

Photographic Division.
The Photographic Division of the Bureau of Records is one
of the finest and most modern in the entire country. Its
equipment has been continually improved 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. Their efficiency is
improved by co-operation with this unit.
Enlarged photographs are filed in cabinets especially built to
accommodate the size. The enlarged photographs are prin-
cipally scenes of homicides, hit-and-run accidents and suspi-
cious fires and have proved invaluable for court purposes.
Many communications have been received as a result of the
value of these photographs, particularly 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
1941.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 35
j51e reports of all felonies committed within the city and all
reports of investigation of these felonies.
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 correction in counties of the Common-
wealth 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. fingerprints, correspond-
ence, 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 forms the basis on which all other files
are dependent. It is at all times being checked to maintain
accuracy. There are now recorded in the Main Index File
697,030 persons. These include all persons arrested and
fingerprinted in the Bureau, applicants for Hackney Carriage
licenses, and applicants for Special Police Officers' 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 12,320
records and in the Male Record Files 132,350 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 departments are
placed in the "Foreign Segregated" file and those taken by
this Department in the "Local Segregated" file. Photo-
graphs 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 also classified under
36 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
the head of the crime in which the subjects specialize. The
"Local Segregated" file contains 34,489 photographs and the
"Foreign Segregated" file, 15,586 photographs.
Exhibiting Photographs of Criminals in Main and Segregated
Files.
The Identification Division has rendered efficient and bene-
ficial 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 ren-
dered 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. In many cases photo-
graphs were taken of the scene where the crime was com-
mitted. The figures and other data in connection with the
work are contained in a subsequent part of this report.
Ultra-Violet Lamp {"Black LighV^).
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 with ease through use of luminous
powders such as anthracene or luminous zinc sulphide, due to
radiations emitted by this lamp.
The " Fluoroscope" and "White Drill."
There have been acquired by this Bureau two valuable
pieces of scientific equipment. The first is known as the
"Fluoroscope." When the rays of this instrument are trained
on the subject before it, it reveals presence of any foreign
1941.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 37
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
automobile is another example of what the instrument may
accomplish in detection of crime and criminals. The same is
none the less true of inanimate objects, such as packages con-
taining 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
the 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, to the greatest extent possible,
by photographers attached to this Bureay, 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 a bullet
showing cannelure impressions made as it passed through the
barrel of the revolver can be photographed. Impressions
shown by the photograph of this bullet are carefully compared
with impressions of a test bullet fired from the revolver believed
to have been used in the homicide. If the test bullet and the
real bullet disclose the same cannelure impressions, there is
strong presumption created that the revolver under examina-
tion was the one used in the homicide.
Developing and Printing Room.
Developing and printing of criminal photographs by mem-
bers 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, and on duty twenty-four hours
a day, is prepared to accomplish any photographic need of the
Department, as well as to. give that type of service which
could be rendered only by the most modern and best-equipped
photographer, ,
38 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
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 com-
pares favorably with that of any in this locality.
Installation of this "dark room" has many favorable advan-
tages. It is located on the same floor as the Bureau where
all photographs of prisoners are taken, thus eliminating neces-
sity 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, has large sinks for washing films,
a new Ferrotype dryer and other equipment for production
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 Fingerprints of
Unidentified Dead.
A modern development of the photographic division is
installation of a filing system wherein 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 per-
sons are of enlistment age, in an effort to identify these dead.
Faihng 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 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-
parison 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 fifing 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
of filing fingerprints, but is a very valuable addition thereto.
1941.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 39
There are at present on file in this Bureau 19,271 Battley single
fingerprints and 1,139 latent fingerprints which are compared
with all incoming single fingerprints.
Fingerprint System Practically Eliminating Bertillon
System.
The fingerprint system has practically eliminated the Ber-
tillon 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 finger-
prints 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 10,300 hackney carriage drivers, 641 sight-
seeing automobile drivers and 3,604 special police officers.
Displacement of Conley-Flak System of Fingerprint
Classification.
The Conley-Flak system of fingerprint classification and
fiUng, 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
subject typed thereon, showing dealings of the individual with
various law enforcement agencies throughout the country.
40 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
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 Pohce
Department, including method of filing, quaUty and amount
of fingerprint equipment and skilled operators, is comparable
to the practically infaUible files of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, Washington, D. C, after which this Depart-
ment'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
42 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
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 seventeen individual plans. Fifteen of these have been
used as exhibits in the following courts within jurisdiction of
Boston:
Municipal Court . 2 days.
Grand Jury of Suffolk County 5 days.
Superior Court 17 days.
Superior Civil Court 1 day.
In addition, twenty special drawings or paintings (miscel-
laneous) were also made for the use of the Police Department
and two scaled drawings of locations where police officers were
injured while in uniform.
Some 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.
The drafting room is fully equipped with all necessary
instruments required for efficiently handling this work.
Criminal 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 for these records
from December 1, 1939, to November 30, 1940:

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.

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. 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 citizens of
Boston and surrounding cities and towns. Its chief function
necessarily is to aid famihes 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 Division
co-operated with various State institutions in the location and
return of many wards who had left these institutions without
permission.

Massachusetts Department of Public Welfare and the Girls'
and Boys' Parole Division of the Massachusetts Training
Schools. Of this number 299 have been found or returned,
leaving 41 still missing.
Also not included in the above are numerous cases of children
reported missing to this Department and found or returned
within a few hours after report was made.

Persons Interviewed. — At the "Missing Persons" office there
were interviewed about 800 persons relative to cases handled.
This does not include the number interviewed at other units
and divisions of the Department.
Correspondence. — There were handled by the unit approxi-
mately 4,000 pieces of correspondence relating to location of
friends and relatives.
Circulars. — About 8,000 descriptive circulars and recti-
graphic copies of photographs of missing subjects were sent
out from the unit.
Tracers. — There were sent out approximately 6,500 tracers
on persons reported missing.

Amnesia Cases. — The unit assisted in making identification
in five cases which came to the attention of the Department.
Identification of Dead Bodies. — In 32 cases of unknown
white men, 23 were identified through fingerprints, and 1
through circularizing the various welfare departments and
outside cities and towns.
During the past year the value of civilian fingerprinting
was never better proven. In one instance, the case of an
unknown white man, the body had come in contact with the
propellers of an ocean-going steamer and identification by
features was impossible. In another case, relatives could not
come to a conclusion as to whether or not the deceased was
one of their kin as the body was so decomposed. In another
case, the Medical Examiners, after having examined the body,
ordered it buried immediately, as there were traces of bubonic
plague. In these cases positive identification was established
by means of fingerprints.
Warrant File.
Procedure as to Warrants Issued to or Received hy 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 data pertaining to the warrant and the case. These cards
are alphabetically filed so that almost instantaneously 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.
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. Commanding
officers of this Department are required, under the rules and
regulations, to notify the Warrant Division of arrests on
warrants issued to the Boston Police Department and warrants
of all other pofice departments; also when arrests are made
without a warrant involving serious crimes. The rule applies
46 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
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.

Establishment and Purpose.
On December 14, 1936, there was estabhshed in the Bureau
of Records a summons file for the purpose of facihtating service
of summonses. All summonses for service outside the City
of Boston obtained by the several divisions and units are for-
warded to this Bureau where they are recorded and sent to
the Chief of Police of the city or town where a 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, re-established May 22, 1936, is located
in quarters on the fifth floor of Police 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 respon-
sible for the proper regulation of traffic conditions and for
safety of the pubHc using highways in territory under jurisdic-
tion of the Traffic Division, daily, from 8 a. m. to 12 midnight.
Activities.
This was a very difficult and strenuous 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 trouble-
some problem of 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; and Atlantic avenue, where
construction work is being done on a Works Progress Admin-
istration project.
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 the
Back Bay section, as well as the heavy down-town flow. Espe-
cially 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 market and theatrical sections.
In the market section, the handhng of tractor-trailers of
immense size, most of them coming from other states, has con-
tinued to add greatly to our burden. Such trailers arriving in
the early morning in large numbers, clutter up our streets
approaching the market section and impede traffic conditions
to such an extent that it has been necessary to continue the
50 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan
detail of officers to report at 6 a. m. on certain posts in this
section, in order to solve this problem and facilitate the free
flow of traffic. Mention of this fact was made in the report
last year, but up to this date, no arrangements have been made
to locate these large vehicles in other sections of the city to
relieve our narrow streets in the market district.
The Traffic Division was called on to make arrangements
for large parades, such as the Boston School Cadets, United
States Naval Academy parade, July 22; the Ancient and
Honorable Artillery Company, Jewish War Veterans' parade,
August 30, whose members held their Forty-Fifth Annual
Convention in this city during the latter part of August of this
year; parade of the ''Forty-and-Eight" of the American Legion
during the evening of September 23, the American Legion
parade, September 24, whose members held their National
Convention in this city during September of this year; Colum-
bus Day parade, October 12; Armistice Day parade, November
11; "Santason" parade. Thanksgiving Day, November 28,
sponsored by the Jordan Marsh Company; as well as many
other smaller parades.
These activities, with co-operation of other police divisions,
were handled so efficiently that many letters of commendation
were received by officials of this Department.
It is the duty of the Traffic Division to make recommenda-
tions through the Superintendent of Police for procurement
of signs, to be placed in streets, notifying the public that
parades are coming, and of restrictions to parking to conform
with directions of these signs; also for shutting off and turning
on of automatic signal-control lights; to make recommenda-
tions for prohibition of parking in certain streets, and sug-
gesting additional places where automobilists should be per-
mitted to park, in order to invite shoppers and bring more
business to this city; or any other conditions that might be of
assistance in improving the traffic situation in the city, as well
as expediting the movement of its traffic. All such recommen-
dations, however, are made only after thorough inspection
and study of the various traffic problems.
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.
1941.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 51
Organizations, such as the Institute of Radio Engineers,
came during the latter part of June; the Jewish War Veterans
in August, and the American Legion in September, all of
which conventions were handled in such a fine manner that
splendid letters of praise were received by this Department.
This Division also provided escorts to and carried out
satisfactory arrangements for the care of distinguished visitors
to this city during their stay in Boston, such as the Hon.
Hjalmar J. Procope, Minister from Finland to the United
States, on May 12 and 13.
The Division provided escorts and made satisfactory arrange-
ments to care for the safety of the President while in Boston,
October 30, on' which day he arrived at the South Station,
and went from there to his son's residence, 512 Beacon street,
Boston, for repast, leaving at about 9:30 p. m. en route to the
Boston Garden, where he spoke.'
Tremendous crowds along the route over which President
Roosevelt passed, from his arrival at the South Station until
departure from this city at about 11 p. m., were so ably
handled that the President, himself, commended the police
for the excellent manner in which they took care of the situa-
tion, and stated, further, that he was not once interrupted in
his passage.
The Traffic Division provided motorcycle escorts during
visit of the President on August 10, on his arrival at the Navy
Yard in Charlestown, for inspection, and also on his way to
make an inspection of the arsenal in Watertown, Mass.
The Division made suitable arrangements and provided
escorts during the visit of the Republican candidate for Presi-
dent, Mr. Wendell L. Willkie, to this city, June 14, 1940, when
he attended a dinner held at Mechanics Building; as well as
on the occasion of the visit of the Willkie motor cavalcade,
August 11, during his campaign tour, arriving at Mattapan
square and parading over certain streets to the Hotel Somer-
set; thence to Cottage Farm Bridge, on his way to Cambridge,
for a political rally. Upon his return, the party went to the
Hotel Statler and thence to Braves' Field in the evening,
where large crowds gathered to hear him speak in behalf of his
candidacy.
The Division is constantly in receipt of inquiries and ques-
tionnaires for information concerning traffic conditions and
problems from police departments of other cities and towns and
52 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
from civic agencies. Endeavor is made to supply all such
information, as may be available, both from practical knowledge
and statistically, for which many commendatory letters have
been received.
Some of the duties successfully accompHshed by the Traffic
Division were the handling of over 1,000,000 persons who
attended baseball and football games at Fenway Park, regula-
tion of thousands of automobiles, with passengers, at entrance
to the Sumner Traffic Tunnel during the horse-racing season
at Suffolk Downs, East Boston district. May 20 to July 27
(inclusive), 1940; policing of about 2,000,000 people, who
viewed the American Legion parade, September 24, along its
entire passage, and the successful handUng of over 500,000
persons, many of them children of tender age, who attended the
"Santason" parade along its route on Thanksgiving Day,
without injury or serious mishap to any.
Traffic Conditions.
In the opinion of the Deputy Superintendent in charge of
the Traffic Division, indignation about traffic conditions is a
healthy symptom. It indicates that when our streets are
lawfully parked with vehicles, with people eager to get from
one location to another in a hurry, that business is good.
When critics cease to talk and complain about the traffic
problem, Boston will really have cause to worry. This, of
course, should not be interpreted to mean that we adopt a
"leave-well-enough-alone" attitude. On the contrary, the
Boston Police Department is striving to expedite the flow of
vehicles in and out of the city.
Conceding that a majority of "Bostonians" prefer to live
in the suburbs, the police are redoubling their efforts in a
discretionary way, to encourage them to come into Boston
frequently on pleasure, as well as business trips, to help our
merchants and other business enterprises.
This means that improved parking facilities should be
provided in the vicinity of our shops, restaurants, hotels and
theatres. Beyond that would appear to lie the larger problem
of opening up more congested districts by means of new or
widened streets.
Tagging.
During the period, December 1, 1939, up to and including
November 30, 1940, the Traffic Division issued 88,045 notices
1941.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 53
for violation of the ''parking" rules. Such notices were for-
warded through the United States mail to owners of offending
automobiles or by service in hand to the operators.
Such a large, number of notices would appear to be conclusive
proof that the public, for the most part, fails, through lack of
desire or heedlessness, to fully co-operate with the Police
Department; that it is careless and indifferent to restriction
signs in the parking of automobiles.
The police have found that such autoists leave their vehicles
unlawfully for long periods of time upon the streets of our
city; this for their own convenience (but to the inconvenience
of others); and, further, park them in "restricted" areas,
where warning signs, prominently displayed, prohibit such
parking.
Although this year show\s some reduction in the number of
parking notices issued, as compared with the year of 1939,
this may be explained by the fact that in April of 1940, 25
officers, detailed from other divisions to the Traffic Division,
and assigned in most part to tagging of automobiles, looking
up of owners' names from records at the Registry of Motor
Vehicles, and writing notices to offending owners, were returned
to their respective divisions for patrol duty.
On account of shortage of officers in the Department, such
detail to the Traffic Division has not been replaced, and the
work is now being conducted by six or seven officers of the
division, especially assigned for this duty.
The regulation of the Boston Traffic Commission, which
became permanent, August 14, 1939:
"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 Dart-
mouth street, the southwesterly hne of West Dedham
street, the southwesterly line of East Dedham street,
South Bay, Fort Point Channel, Boston Harbor, Charles
River and Charles River Basin"
has continued to be rigidly enforced.
The regulation has been found very helpful in eliminating
from this section of our city long-time parkers; and, further,
the public, with few exceptions, has now become reconciled to
this particular regulation as being a help rather than a hindrance
to general business conditions.
54 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
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 which they should operate their automobiles
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 Stan dish 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 broad-
cast 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
Une, 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 and 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 con-
1941.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 55
ducted by the Squad Commander, a patrolman of the safety-
car. All members and friends are invited to witness or par-
ticipate 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 750 schools in the city,
public, parochial and private, at which approximately 355,000
pupils, 1,700 teachers and 25,000 parents of children were
present.
During the summer season, the car visited many Park
Department playgrounds and participated in "Safety Shows"
under the supervision of the Director of Recreation of such
Department, as well as giving short safety talks at other Park
Department activities. It is estimated that nearly 150,000
adults and 300,000 children were assembled on these occasions.
Some of the special events in which the safety car took part
were held at the South Boston Stadium, where, under auspices
of the Park Department, a circus and boxing bouts were pro-
vided for entertainment of the spectators. The car was also
present at football games held at Fenway Park sponsored by
Department named, at which approximately 28,000 persons
were in attendance. The car was also used in connection with
large parades, such as the Seventeenth of March, the Seven-
teenth of June, Jewish War Veterans, the American Legion
and "Santason." On these occasions the car toured the route
of the parade in advance of marchers to clear the way and
notify persons along its route that the parade was approaching.
During school vacation period in the summer, the car ren-
dered excellent service to children gathered at school play-
grounds, giving safety talks to approximately 50,000 yoiuig
persons.
The car, with its officers in charge, has also been called on
to appear at gatherings of employees of large trucking con-
cerns, telegraph offices, theatres, business establishments and
civic and fraternal organizations, where sdfety 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 Educational car to visit other cities and
towns to give talks along safety hues, such as on January 16,
1940, at request of Chief of PoHce, Thomas F. Foley, when
56 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
the car went to Headquarters of the Worcester PoUce Depart-
ment, where a forum was held of officers of rank of that De-
partment. Lectures and safety talks were given in a sort of
round-table discussion by those present, including representa-
tives of the Boston Police Department in the safety car.
On request of the Chief of Police of Haverhill, the car went
to that city and participated in the parade held in conjunction
with the city's Tercentenary Anniversary exercises.
At request of the Maine State Police, the safety car on August
1, 1940, was sent to Bangor, Maine, while the Maine State
Fair was in progress; toured the principal streets of that
large city, where safety talks were given to pedestrians and
motorists. The car was also sent to the fair grounds of the
city and participated in safety demonstrations and talks,
which were broadcast over the radio.
As a result of this splendid program conducted by the
Safety Educational car, under direction of the Police Com-
missioner, many compHmentary letters have been received
from persons in various walks of life. There has been notable
reduction in personal injuries in this city during the year
1940 compared with that of 1939. Further, it is pointed out
that at the present time the City of Boston is in second 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.
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 communica-
tions from persons in authority in these various places, request-
ing 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.

BUREAU OF OPERATIONS.
Creation.
This Bureau was created on July 11, 1934.
The Bureau was detached from the Superintendent's office
and estabhshed at PoHce 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 facihties controls movement of all radio cars
patrolling the city and also police boats in the harbor.
A vast majority of all telephoned complaints, reports and
requests for information from the general pubUc are handled
by officers of the Bureau.
Accomplishments.
During the police year from December 1, 1939, to November
30, 1940, personnel of this Bureau managed transmission,
reception and handling of:
Approximately 272,198 telephone messages and about
3,684 toll calls made by the Department.
125,621 teletype messages, including fiHng of same and
making and delivering copies of such messages, as neces-
sary, to the proper Bureau or Unit.
1,128 telegrams, including filing of same and making
and deUvering of copies to the proper Bureau or Unit.
4,430 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.
261,065 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, 3,285 of which were reported
58 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
stolen in Boston, together with records made and delivered
of all recovered cars, copies of both being kept in the files
of the Bureau of Operations.
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 police 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.
1941.1 PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 59
BALLISTICS UNIT.
Formation and Duties.
The activities of this Unit, with its personnel, are under the
supervision of the Superintendent of Police.
With a Sergeant-Ballistician in charge, the office consists
of experts in ballistics, handwriting, typewriting, moulage,
explosives, munitions and also a gunsmith.
The Sergeant-Ballistician, under the direction of the Super-
intendent of Police, has charge of the care and custody of
all firearms, explosives and substances of explosives coming
into the possession of the police.
The Sergeant-Ballistician prepares the cases where ballistic
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 the cases where all
handwriting, typewriting, erasures in documents and ques-
tioned 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 this Unit responded to 56
emergency calls after regular working hours, and put in many
extra hours of duty. Three hundred eighty-five hours of duty
were performed in this manner. Two himdred twenty-two
days were spent in court by the members of this Unit on
ballistics, handwriting and moulage cases.
Of the total cases, ballistics numbered 303 (which included
examination of firearms, explosives, bullets, shells and sus-
picious substances); handwriting and typewriting cases and
questioned documents, 147; and moulage cases, 6.
For identification purposes, additional specimens of tire
treads, plate glass, gunpowders, shot, bullets, shells, type-
writer specimens, burglars' tools, foreign and domestic ammuni-
tion, firearms, arson setups, powder patterns, narcotics, gas
munitions and moulage casts have been added to the Unit.
For efficiency of the Unit the following material was added
to the equipment: two hundred official police '38-cahbre
60 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
special revolvers, a portable X-ray assembly for examining
suspicious packages, a spectograph for analyzing metal and
other materials, a portable-lighting plant to supply power for
search lights where no electricity is available, and a portable
X-ray machine.
Two hundred revolvers and 110 riot guns were serviced
and repaired, in addition to servicing the following equipment
located at the various police divisions and units: 10 Thompson
sub-machine guns, 110 gas billies, 60 gas projectors, 23 tear-gas
guns, 60 gas masks, 60 bullet-proof vests, tear-gas munitions
and 4 high-powered rifles. Sixty '30-calibre Springfield rifles
were serviced and returned to the National Guard. By repair-
ing and servicing our own equipment, substantial savings were
made.
Approximately 1,000 handwriting specimens or exemplars
were classified and filed in 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-eight 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.
Several groups of National Guard officers and Home Guard
officers received instructions in the handling of explosives,
bombs and suspicious packages.
During the year members of this Unit attended lectures and
demonstrations offered by the National Guard and manufac-
turers 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 Bal-
listics Unit, was used during the year by searching parties at
scenes of crimes.
One hundred five hand fights carried in the cruising cars
were serviced and repaired during this period.
MOULAGE.
The substance known as moulage was utifized to good ad-
vantage to establish the type of instrument used in a number
of "breaking and entering" cases, and was presented to the
1941.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 61
court to establish proof. A number of specimens were made
for the medical examiners in Suffolk and other counties for use
in court in cases of violent death.
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.
Members of the Department were further instructed in use
of tear-gas munitions during drills held at the First Corps
Cadet Armory during the year, and during revolver practice
at the West Roxbury revolver range in the simimer months.
Several groups of Home Guard members were instructed in
the use of tear-gas munitions to quell civil disorders.
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 had come into police hands from various sec-
tions of Metropolitan Boston, were disposed of, with a view for
safety, in the waters of the outer-Boston Harbor.
This office is now ecjuipped with the latest-type, portable
X-ray equipment for examining suspected bombs and other
types of explosives, which may be used where the suspected
bomb or other explosive is found, thereby eliminating the risk
of injury or possible death in removing suspected explosives.
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 suffi-
cient supply of emergency equipment to handle any situation.
62 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan
Periodic inspections are made of all the equipment carried in
the divisions and units, and replacements are made when
found necessary.
COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM.
The Signal Service Unit is responsible for the maintenance
of the signal system of the Department.
During the year, 9 signal boxes were moved to new locations,
several miles of cable were placed underground in conformance
with law, and 2 overhead-signal boxes in Division 7, East
Boston district, also placed underground.
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.
Four miles of new cable were installed, replacing some of the
old cable retailed in the new system.
Fourteen signal boxes, struck and damaged by motor vehicles,
were replaced with new equipment.
Twelve taxicab signs, struck and damaged by motor vehicle
were replaced with new signs.
1941.1 PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 63
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., imiforms 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 80 motor vehicles came into custody of this
office; 69 vehicles were returned to legitimate claimants, and
16 vehicles were sold at public auction. There are now 19
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
a"so 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,
4,583 Department cars were repaired at the repair shop in
Division 4, and 1,389 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 79 Department cars and 88 pri-
vately-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 Depart-
ment operates a motorcycle repair shop, now located in the
rear of Station 19, where 419 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.

HACKNEY CARRIAGES.
During the police year, December 1, 1939, to November 30,
1940, there were 1,754 * licenses to set up and use hackney-
carriages granted, being a decrease of 79 as compared with last
year.
There were no horse-drawn carriages licensed during the
year.
There were 50 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. Forty-
four of these were restored to the owners and the balance of 6
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, 1940, "new" applicants 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 Carriage Licenses.
Under provisions of Section 4, Chapter 392, Acts of 1930,
as amended by Section 1, Chapter 280, Acts of 1934, the Police
Commissioner was required to fix a limit for the number of
hackney carriage licenses to be issued, which limit shall be
based upon the number of licenses then issued and outstand-
ing but shall not be in excess of 1,525, and he may from time
to time, after reasonable notice and hearing, decrease the
number so fixed, but in no event to number less than 900.
In accordance therewith, the Police Commissioner, July 20,
1934, by General Order to the Department, set the number of
hackney carriage licenses to be in force at 1,525.
Subsequently, the Police Commissioner, after publication
of reasonable notice in the Boston daily newspapers and after
pubhc hearing, November 28, 1939, by General Order to the
Department, announced (effective as of January 6, 1940), that
the limit for the number of hackney carriages to be issued under
the reference in law herein set out was decreased to 1,200;
provided, however, that the announcement shall not affect,
in any way, the rights of any existing licensee to renewal of his
license under provisions of said amending section.
The Police Commissioner further announced in said subse-
quent General Order, effective as of January 6, 1940, that
hackney carriage licenses may be granted to the number hereto-
1941.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 85
fore established (1,525), except that no further original licenses
shall be granted until the number of hackney carriage licenses
outstanding shall have been reduced to less than 1,200 by
cancelation or revocation or the failure of holders of licenses
to apply for renewals, and thereafter hackney licenses may be
granted only up to a total not exceeding 1,200.
If a hackney carriage license applicant is refused a license
by reason of the fact that the maximum number of Hcenses
limited under the Act, with amendment, referred to, has been
issued, the Department of Public Utilities, on petition of such
applicant, may after a hearing determine that public con-
venience and necessity require a higher limit than that fixed
by the Police Commissioner or previously established by said
Department, and shall establish the limit 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 Public 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 Pohce 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
Inspector of Carriages.)
During the police year, December 1, 1939, to November 30,
1940, there were 54 public taxicab stands, with capacity for
83 cabs, established, and 12 public taxicab stands, with capacity
for 30 cabs, aboHshed.
There are 485 established public taxicab stands, with capacity
for 1,263 cabs, at the present time.
86 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
Hackney Carriages.
Multi-Colored Hackney Carriage Medallions.
To remedy existing traffic conditions, to reduce the number
of "cruising" taxicabs and to establish a system for the clean-
ing, inspection and repair of taxicabs, multi-colored medallions
were provided for licensed hackney carriages, effective as of
February 1, 1940, the color of such medallion signifying day of
restriction of operation of the vehicle :
Color: Day of Restriction:
Red Monday
Yellow Tuesday
Blue Wednesday
Green Thursday
White Friday
Effective as of May 6, 1940, this ''stagger system," so called,
restricting operation upon certain week days herein set out of
licensed hackney carriages bearing a particular colored medal-
Hon, — which "system" had been in force since February 1,
1940, — was discontinued, after study of the situation and
report of findings by a board of senior superior officers, to
whom the Police Commissioner had referred the subject.
Hackney Carriage Licenses Granted.
The total number of licensed hackney carriages at present
is 1,357 as compared with 1,367 in the previous year; this
number 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 private
property) by licensed hackney carriage owners.
During the year 19 applications (capacity 394 carriages) for
such private hackney stands were granted.
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 carry-
1941.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 87
"ing for a consideration of persons for sight-seeing purposes
in or from the city of Boston and in or on which automo-
bile guide service by the driver or other person is offered
or furnished."
Previous to this enactment a sight-seeing automobile was
.held to mean an automobile "which was capable of seating
eight or more persons and was used or offered for the 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 Police 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 pro-
vided that it shall be unlawful for a person to operate said
automobile as a driver in or from said city unless he is licensed
so to do.
During the year ending November 30, 1940, 15 applications
for designated stands for sight-seeing automobiles were granted
and 1 revocation was rescinded on license which had been
revoked prior to December 1, 1939.
During the year, 34 applications for licenses for sight-seeing
automobiles were granted; 1 was withdrawn; 1 revocation was
rescinded on license which had been revoked prior to December
1, 1939.
Continuing with our practice, "new" sight-seeing automobile
drivers for the year commencing as of March 1, 1940, 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 42 sight-seeing drivers' licenses granted.
Issuing of Tags for Hackney Carriage Violations.
The system of issuing tags to drivers for violation of rules
has continued to show good results. During the past year
1,542 tags were issued to taxicab drivers for various violations.
Two thousand two hundred seventy-one penalties were imposed
(including 4 suspeDsions), and 52 revocations were made, the
remainder being reprimanded and warned and a record filed
88 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
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
3,124 drivers licensed by the Pohce Commissioner.
Appeal Board.
In accordance with Hackney Carriage Rules and Regula-
tions, hackney carriage drivers and owners dissatisfied with
findings 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 pubUc; 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' hcenses whose applications had
been rejected) were referred by the Commissioner to the
Board.
Supervisory Force.
Since February 11, 1939, when pubUc taxicab stands were
established in accordance with the law, and then existing special
and pubhc hackney carriage stands abolished, the supervisory
force of the office of Inspector of Carriages (now consoHdated
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.
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
1941.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 89
"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, 89 applications for such licenses were
received and granted. (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 hcensee 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 89 granted, 50 were for licenses from offices, garages,
stables or order boxes, and 39 were for designated stands in
the highway.
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 FubHc
Utilities) and authorizing the transportation of property
for hire by motor vehicle within the City of Boston shall
90 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
"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 handcart 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 in 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.
