REPORT.
Headquarters of the Police Department,
Office of the Police Commissioner, 154 Berkeley Street,
Boston, December 15, 1941.
To His Excellency Leverett Saltonstall, Governor.
Your Excellency,— As Police Commissioner for the City
of Boston, I have the honor to present, in comphance with
provisions of Chapter 291, Acts of 1906, as amended, my sixth
Annual Report of work of the Police Department.
Introductory.
It is reassuring to note that Boston has continued to main-
tain its enviable position among the larger cities of the v nation
in supervision and decrease of major crimes. In great measure
this is due to respect for authority manifested by citizens of
Boston, intelligent guidance and efficient supervision of the
Police Department by its superior officers, and vigilance of
members of the force. The Department has and will continue
to co-operate with all law enforcement agencies in every way
possible.
On passage of the Selective Training Service Act of 1940,
this Department was requested by the Office of the United
States Attorney to assist in investigation of prisoners who
failed to have in their possession a registration card. A great
number of such cases were reported to the Office of the United
States Attorney.
The local office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation
requested co-operation of this Department in investigation of
aliens and other individuals suspected of subversive activities
A large number of such investigations were made by this
Department, many of which entailed submission of reports in
great detail.
Work performed by the Department for the Office of the
United States Attorney, as well as the local office of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, has been highly commended by
officials of these offices.
8 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
In spite of the shortage of officers, the emergency battaUon
of the Department was reorganized and increased in personnel
to the number of 500. This increase was made necessary to
cope with any exigency that might arise as result of present
war conditions, as well as hurricanes, floods or other catas-
trophes that might occur.
The Department has been operating during the past year
with a complement of 1,982 patrolmen, or 167 less than the
maximum strength of February, 1930.
During the past ten years police work has greatly increased
through many extra demands made upon the Department. In
these unusual times the police force is called on to perform many
additional duties, not ordinarily required. It is obvious that
these additional demands make it necessary for members of
the force to perform many extra hours of duty without extra
compensation or time off.
It is to the credit of the Department that its members have
cheerfully and unselfishly performed these duties with no
thought of reward. The nature of police work itself requires
physical fitness of the highest order, as well as being mentally
alert, and continuation of extra hours of duty could only
lead in the end to impairment of the physical and mental
efficiency that should at all times be present in an alert police
force.
For this reason, I have strongly urged upon His Honor the
Mayor that the number of patrolmen be restored to the maxi-
mum quota of 2,149.
A sustained campaign to suppress distribution and sale
of indecent magazines and literature that tended to corrupt
the morals of youth was successfully prosecuted this year.
A board consisting of officials of the Department was formed
to revise the Rules and Regulations of the Police Department.
The last revision occurred in 1927. Since that time many of
the rules and regulations were rendered obsolete by changes
made necessary in recent years. The Rules and Regulations,
completely revised and brought to date by this board, were
adopted on April 29, 1941.
During the annual police listing of all residents twenty
years of age and over, performed by members of this De-
partment, calendars were presented at each household and
building, indicating the manner of contacting the police in an
emergency. The reverse side of the calendar contained pro-
cedure to be followed in event of an air raid.

Traffic.
Regulation of traffic conditions in Boston, especially in its
downtown area, requires special assignment of 292 officers.
In spite of several investigations by committees of traffic
experts and various remedies tried at different times to alleviate
the congestion and facilitate movement of traffic through the
city streets, no permanent satisfactory solution has been
reached as yet. It still continues to challenge the engineering
skill of those interested in the free flow of vehicular traffic.
One of the contributing factors of traffic congestion is the
problem of parking. Prior to May 26, 1941, one-hour parking
had been in effect in the downtown area. As a result of in-
numerable complaints from merchants and citizens against
the one-hour parking limit, I recommended to the Traffic Com-
mission that the time limit be extended to two hours. There
were two trial periods given to the extension of time and it
was finally adopted, August 25, 1941, as a permanent policy.
The fact that this plan has been most satisfactory to both
merchants and citizens is indicated by the greatly decreased
number of complaints received.
A proposal to demolish the Atlantic avenue elevated struc-
ture is a very progressive one. If this structure were de-
molished it would tend to greatly relieve traffic congestion
now existing due to the very great number of trucks, automo-
biles and freight cars using Atlantic avenue at the present time.
Despite numerous obstacles confronting the Department
in regulation of traffic, we shall make every effort to use what-
ever facilities are at our disposal to ameliorate it.
Personnel.
Several members of the Department have already joined
the military forces of the United States.
Fifty-eight new patrolmen were appointed.
In accordance with Chapter 122, Acts of 1938, which pro-
vided for one day off in every seven days for police officers
in the City of Boston, the City Council passed the Act
September 15, 1941. The Mayor approved it September 19,
1941, and it was made effective October 1, 1941.
Defense Preparations.
I sent an invitation to all police chiefs in Massachusetts to
meet on December 11, 1941, at Police Headquarters, Boston,
10 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
for the purpose of establishing a coordinated program to
cope with different emergencies that might arise. The largest
number of police officials ever gathered together at one time
in the state accepted the invitation.
The gathering was addressed by His Excellency, Leverett
Saltonstall, Governor of the Commonwealth; Hon. J. Wells
Farley, Chairman of the Massachusetts Committee on Public
Safety; Admiral William T. Tarrant of the United States
Navy, Major-General Francis B. Wilby of the United States
Army, Dean James M. Landis, New England Director of
Civilian Defense; General Daniel Needham of the Massachu-
setts Committee on Public Safety, as well as by several police
chiefs.
Much valuable information was contributed by those present
and a proposed plan of coordinated police action was formulated.
A school for training of air-raid wardens was organized under
direction of the Department. A superior officer was placed
in charge of several other officers who received an intensive
course of training in the means and methods of combating
conditions that would prevail during an air raid. In turn,
these officers were assigned as instructors to the public who
volunteered to attend a series of lectures in preparation for
assvmiing duties of air-raid wardens. Each police division
was divided into sectors and wardens were accordingly assigned.
There are about 20,000 citizens of Boston now enrolled as
air-raid wardens who are still undergoing a course of instruction
in their duties. Indicative of their authority, the air-raid
wardens are furnished with badges.
The duties of the wardens, generally speaking, fall into two
categories :
(1) Instruction of their fellow-citizens in their precinct
or neighborhood units; dissemination of information; dis-
tribution of gas equipment; and
(2) Carrying out of air-raid defense measures during an
actual air raid.
The latter duties are summarized as follows:
(a) To be familiar with the organization of all civilian
organizations and services, and the most rapid and efficient
means of communication with them.
(6) In event of a blackout, to make sure that citizens
follow in all particulars blackout regulations then in force.
1942.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 11
(c) To sound, or arrange for the sounding of air-raid
alarms, as directed by the Report or Control Center.
Duties of a warden do not include "spotting" approaching
enemy airplanes; detection of attacking aircraft is the
responsibility of the armed forces.
(d) To know the location and needs of persons requiring
special assistance, such as the aged or infirm, persons
temporarily ill, or those recovering from hospital treat-
ment.
(e) To allay panic and fear, to direct and, assist the
public to shelters when air-raid warnings are given, and
to direct them after the raid to housing and food centers,
when necessary.
(/) To report immediately to their Report Center
falling of bombs in their area and resulting casualties and
. damage. To assist until adequate help has arrived from
other sources.
(g) To report immediately actual or suspected presence
of gas, and to take necessary steps to warn the civilian
population.
(h) To maintain morale. This is of utmost importance.
Wardens should set an example of coolness and steadiness
to their neighbors and thus reduce risk of panic. The
wardens' duty of maintaining morale will be ecjiially
essential after the raid has passed and the civilian popula-
tion attempts to resume normal occupations.
In addition to general assistance and guidance to the public,
wardens' duties will include estimating air-raid damage,
transmitting it to the Report Center concisely and as accurately
as possible, and guiding and assisting air-raid defense services
sent to deal with it. These functions are in some respects
allied to those of the police, but air-raid wardens should be
regarded as a separate organization that co-operates closely
with the local police department.
There was established in the Department, in accordance
with the Acts of 1941, Chapter 719, Section 5, an organization
to be known as the Volunteer Auxiliary Police. The members
are not to be paid for their services. Applicants who have been
classified "1-A" under the Selective Service Act are not
accepted for this duty on account of their being subject to
immediate call for United States military service. These men
12 POLICE COMMISSIONER. • [Jan.
are equipped with a badge, helmet, night stick and a flash
light. They are also photographed and fingerprinted, and
given the oath of office. The duties of the members are
restricted to prevention of crime, protection of life and property,
and such other duties as may be assigned to them during an
emergency. At the present time there are about 3,500 men
enrolled as auxiliary policemen. They are undergoing an
intensive course of training to fit them for their duties.
Juvenile Welfare.
It is gratifying to note the decrease in juvenile crime in
our city. As a result of personal investigation and a study
of criminal statistics, I was amazed at the large number of
juveniles arrested in this city. During the past year there
has been a decrease of approximately 9.4 per cent in juvenile
delinquency in Boston.
Among the causes of such delinquency, it was apparent
to me that lack of suitable places, properly supervised, in
which boys might gather to spend their idle moments in whole-
some and worthwhile activities was a major factor. Establish-
ment of the Junior Police Corps of the Department, with its
progressive program of activities for boys, has begun to bear
fruit, and I hope I may be permitted to assume that some of
the reduction in juvenile delinquency can be attributed to
work of the Junior Police Corps.
In round numbers, there are some 20,000 boys between the
ages of ten and sixteen years who now hold membership in the
ranks of the Junior Police Corps.
During the year 65 boys received a total of 168 hours of
instruction on band instruments. Some 300 boys received
3,500 hours of instruction on the bugle, drum and all kinds
of "fun-band" instruments. In the choral group, 126 boys
received 2,646 hours of instruction from an accredited teacher
of voice.
With our country at war, know^ledge of how to administer
artificial respiration, stop serious bleeding and apply a traction
splint, is of great importance. This year a total of 400 boys
received 7,200 hours of instruction in first aid from officers
who are qualified instructors.
1942.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 13
Approximately 5,000 under-privileged boys in the City of
Boston enjoyed a week's vacation at "Camp Jupoco," the
Junior Police summer camp in the Blue Hills.
Police Halloween parties were held throughout the city and
attended by approximately 100,000 boys and girls.
The police employment bureau, organized in January,
1940, was very successful in placing boys during the past year.
Hundreds were given benefits of a vocational guidance test
and placed in jobs best suited for them.
The latest achievement of the Junior Police Corps is the
publication of its own newspaper, the "Boston Junior Police
Leader." The first edition was released in November, 1941,
with a circulation of 20,000. This paper is distributed free
of charge to all boys of the city and to various boys' clubs
throughout the country. The policy of the paper is to assist
members of the Junior Police Corps and other youngsters to
better understand the purpose for which the organization was
founded.
One of the problems facing a large city so closely situated
to the Navy Yard and to military camps, is that of providing
worthwhile interests and recreation to personnel of the armed
forces. Various social organizations have established centers
of wholesome recreation for use of these men. Since many of
these young men who visit our city are utter strangers in our
midst and unacquainted with locations of these various social
organizations, the Department has taken it upon itself to
assist wherever it could in directing and being of service to
them. I am very happy to report that the conduct of the young
men of our own forces, as well as those in service of England,
has at all times been exemplary and creditable to their re-
spective countries.
Conclusion.
I wish to 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, and by mem-
bers of the General Court.
May I express my appreciation to the Honorable William J.
Foley, District Attorney of Suffolk County, and his staff of
14 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
assistants, as well as to the Justices of the Superior Court and
Justices of the Municipal and District Courts in the city for
their fine co-operation.
I also wish to express my appreciation for the co-operation
of the Superintendent and members of the Department.
Activities of the Department are reported on in greater
detail in the following section of this report.
Respectfully submitted,
Joseph F. Timilty,

Boston is called on to perform police work for non-residents.
The Commissioner has attempted to find out what percent-
age of arrests in other cities is of non-residents. This per-
centage is so small in other cities that statistics are not kept
of this cla!5s 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 30.87 per cent
of the arrests in Boston is of non-residents, whereas other cities
have but a negligible percentage of arrests of non-residents.
For the twelve months ending November 30, 1941, as
compared with the same period ending with November 30,
1940, a brief comparison of the number of arrests for major
offenses may be of interest and is submitted below :

22 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
A recapitulation of the foregoing shows the following:
Cases Cleared. Per Cent
Reported. Cleared.
1940 7,861 6,229 79.23
1941 7,177 5,696 79.36
A comparison shows an increase in clearance over 1940 of
13 per cent.
There was a decrease in cases reported as compared with
1940 of 684 or 8.70 per cent.
Receipts.
In the past police year ending November 30, 1941, receipts
totaled $81,709.53, as compared with $78,402.34 in the previous
year. The increase of $3,307.19 was due to the fact that
more had been received for licenses and from other sources.
Expenditures.
During the twelve months ending November 30, 1941, the
total expenses of the Boston Police Department amounted to
$5,973,715.46. This included the pay of the pohce and em-
ployees, pensions, supplies, expense of listing ($56,936.69 —
the annual listing on January 1 of all residents twenty years
of age or over), and the maintenance of the Police Signal
Service.
During the same period, $15,614.36 was expended for Work
Relief Materials for Police Department W. P. A. Projects.
This amount was not included in Police Department ap-
propriation.
In the corresponding period of 1940, expenditures totaled
$5,866,783.96.
A financial statement showing expenditures of the De-
partment in detail is included in this report.
Personnel.
The police personnel of the Department on November 30,
1941, consisted of 1 Superintendent, 5 Deputy Superintendents,
27 Captains, 58 Lieutenants, 2 Lieutenant-Inspectors, 186
Sergeants, 1,976 Patrolmen and 5 Military-Substitute Patrol-
men; total, 2,260.
On November 30, 1941, there was a total of 2,452 persons,
including civilian employees, on the rolls of the Department.
1942.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 23
During the year, in General Orders, officers were commended
as follows:
Deputy Superintendent, 1; Lieutenants, 2; Sergeants, 8;
Patrolmen, 45; Patrolwoman, 1; and the Department in
general, 3.
The Walter Scott Medal for Valor for 1941 and Department
Medals of Honor will be awarded, as recommended by the
Superintendent and Deputy Superintendents, serving as a
Board of Merit, at the annual ball of the Boston Police Relief
Association, to be held at the Boston Garden, December 3,
1941, as follows:
'T'he Walter Scott Medal for Valor for 1941 and a
Department Medal of Honor to Patrolman Timothy
F. Murphy of Division 1.
Patrolman Timothy F. Murphy, Division 1, is hereby
awarded the Walter Scott Medal for Valor and a Department
Medal of Honor for courageous and meritorious police duty
performed on the night of February 16, 1941.
While patrolling his route, he heard what sounded like an
explosion and the breaking of glass coming from the second
floor of an office building. Entering the building with drawn
revolver, he arrested a man for breaking and entering a building
in the nighttime, who was later sentenced to three to five
years in State Prison.
Department Medals of Honor.
Patrolmen Michael F. O'Brien, Michael J. McDonough and
Thomas E. Donahue, all attached to the Bureau of Criminal
Investigation, are each hereby awarded a Department Medal
of Honor for courageous and meritorious police duty performed
in accomplishing the arrest of a man who had attempted to
criminally assault a young woman on November 21, 1940, in
a house in the South End.
When the officers arrived, the felon ran to a rear room,
extinguished the lights and armed himself with an ice pick,
three knives and a loaded revolver. He was later sentenced
to a long period in State Prison.
Lieutenant James V. Crowley, Sergeant Francis W. Russell
and Patrolman Thomas J. Conaty, all attached to the Bureau
of Criminal Investigation, are each hereby awarded a Depart-
24 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
ment Medal of Honor for meritorious police duty performed
in connection with a contemplated jail delivery from Massa-
chusetts State Prison.
Timely and efficient work of these officers frustrated plans
of desperate and dangerous criminals which might have led to
loss of life or serious injury.
In 1941, 8,242 days were lost by officers by reason of injuries
received while on duty.
During the year 6 patrolmen were dismissed from the Depart-
ment for violation of Police Rules and Regulations (2 reinstated
after public hearing with imposition of suspension and punish-
ment duty); 12 patrolmen were punished by suspension with
loss of pay or extra duty, or both. One patrolman resigned
while charges against him were pending; complaints against
5 patrolmen were dismissed after hearing. Complaint against
1 patrolman was placed on file. Charges against 1 patrolman
are pending.

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 phases of police work and investigation: arson,
banking, 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 investi-
gations during the course of a year for various police depart-
ments throughout the United States and foreign countries.
Further, they co-operate in every possible way with outside
police departments in investigation of crime and prosecution of
criminals.
AiJTOMOBiLE 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 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 automobiles
28
POLICE COMMISSIONER.
[Jan.
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 200 applications for such licenses were
received. Of these 195 were granted (one without fee), and
4 rejected. Of the 4 rejected, 1 was subsequently reconsidered
and granted, and is included in the total number of 195 on which
favorable action was taken. One was filed without action and
one was withdrawn.
Of the licenses granted, 9 were surrendered voluntarily for
cancellation, and 6 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.
Hearings to the number of 36 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 a\id inspect property pawned or pur-
chased for the purpose of identifying property which may have
been stolen.
Homicide Squad.
It is the duty of officers of this unit to investigate and prose-
cute all homicide cases. They are required to interrogate all
persons involved in or who have knowledge of the commission
30
POLICE COMMISSIONER.
[Jan.
of crimes of murder, manslaughter, abortion or other crimes of
violence. Cases assigned to inquest are prepared and pre-
sented by officers of this unit. The officers assigned to homi-
cide work, with police stenographers, are subject to call through-
out the day and night. The confessions and statements
obtained by members of this unit have proven of inestimable
value in the successful prosecution of capital cases.
The homicide files contain complete reports of all inquests
and deaths by violence in Boston and also a record of all acci-
dents reported to the Police Department.
The following is a report of the Homicide Unit of the Bureau
of Criminal Investigation of all deaths reported to this unit
for the period of December 1, 1940, to November 30, 1941,

Members of the Bureau of Criminal Investigation during
the year made investigations on 7,109 cases. Our files and
assignment books now contain records and reports on 70,553
cases. Complaints are received from many sources, including
cases referred to the Bureau by justices of courts, the District
Attorney, Attorney-General, Federal Bureau of Investigation
and hundreds of outside police agencies.
Statistics of the work of the Bureau of Criminal Investiga-
tion are included in the general work of the Department, but as
the duties of the Bureau are of a special character, the following
statement will be found to be of interest:
Number of persons arrested 3,172

to officers of these states 94
Number of cases investigated 7,109
Number of extra duties performed 9,906

Biological Chemist.
Summary of the Year's Work.
Work at the Laboratory.
The chemical laboratory of the Boston Police Department
is located at the Southern Mortuary and since its opening in
1934 has worked on more than 2,000 cases of all types. The
average annual number of cases for the last five years was 306.
During the past year 333 cases were submitted to the laboratory.

Attendance of Biological Chemist Before Judicial Bodies.
In addition to work in the laboratory on case material, the
chemist has been in attendance on courts and grand juries on
113 days during the past twelve months.
Toxicological Problems.
Examination of the foregoing table reveals that certain
cases form the main items of the work of the laboratory. Out-
standing is the question of presence of alcohol which was in-
vestigated in 217 cases.
Use of alcohol in its various beverage forms is one of our
great modern problems, being encountered in criminal offenses,
in accidents, and in all varied incidents of daily life. The
proportion of 217 cases out of an annual number of 333 may
seem high, but the following data for 1,000 ca.ses as entered on
laboratory records will show clearly the importance of this
problem :
Number.
Cases investigated for alcohol 612
Cases classified as " no influence of alcohol " 321
Cases classified as "under the influence" 153
Cases classified as " drunk " 138
1942.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 33
Thus, analyses for the presence of alcohol were made in 61
per cent of the cases. Of those cases in which analyses were
made for alcohol, 321, or 52 per cent, were found to be free from
showing any effects of alcohol; 153, or 25 per cent, showed
varying degrees of "being under the influence"; and 138, or 23
per cent, showed amounts indicating drunkenness or an un-
stable equilibrium.
The classification, "under the influence," is commonly
recognized as a mild degree of intoxication in which effects are
more outwardly psychic or mental in nature, rather than the
unstable equilibrium commonly recognized as "drunkenness."
It is, however, true that even when merely "under the in-
fluence" the individual does lose some degree of motor control
of actions despite its lack of obviousness. In situations or
circumstances of hazardous nature this mild degree of intoxica-
tion may be as dangerous as the greater degree recognized as
being "drunk."
To turn back to the 612 cases where analyses were made for
presence of alcohol, the fact that in virtually half of them
alcohol was present in sufficient amount to have some effect
shows clearly the importance of this problem. To further
classify these cases as to their type and situation would be
interesting, some studies on accidents in other cities having
shown similar data.
Carbon-monoxide cases causing death form another frequent
type. Carbon monoxide arises from incomplete combustion,
as in fires, automobile-exhaust cases, poorly-vented heaters,
stoves, etc. It is worth noting that in the fire cases of this
group it is not at all unusual to find appreciable quantities of
alcohol present.
Another large group of cases is that of barbituric acid poison-
ing. These hypnotics are varied members of a large chemical
family and have long been sold freely as sleeping tablets. It is
worthy of comment that finally these have been placed on the
fist of drugs that may be sold only on physician's prescription.
Other toxicological items represent varied instances which
occur from time to time. The cases vary widely, from the
question of murder to that of the child who picks up a bottle
somewhere, drinks some of its residual contents, and dies.
Each case has its individual problem in circumstances as well
as the problem of the poison or intoxicant taken.

Miscellaneous.
During the course of the year the laboratory has had the
usual varied cases involving bloodstains, sperm, hair, fiber,
powder residues, paint, glass, miscellaneous debris, etc.
Co-operation With Other Agencies.
The chemist again co-operated with the University Extension
service in giving lectures at the service-sponsored police institute
meeting. Talks were also given on Chemistry in Criminal
Investigation to various lay groups.
BUREAU OF RECORDS.
Establishment, Purpose and Equipment.
The Bureau of Records was established October 17, 1931,
as a central correspondence and filing unit in the Department.
It consists of several separate divisions, namely, criminal
identification, fingerprints and photographs, missing persons
and warrants and summonses.
It is one of the outstanding units of the organization and its
value to the Department is indispensable. It stands in favor-
able comparison with identification units of the most advanced
departments.
Advancements and changes are constantly being made to
maintain efficiency and to increase the worth of the unit to the
Department as a whole.
To bring about this efficiency of service, equipment of the
Bureau is continually being augmented by addition of modern
identification apparatus.
The following is a partial list of such machines which have
constantly proved their value to the Department and which
are numbered among the equipment of the modern police
department :

Multilith.
Installation of a Multilith machine, January 31, 1934, under
direct supervision of experienced operators, enables this Depart-
ment 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 dis-
tinct advantage in issuance of these circulars which play so
important a part in 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
approximately 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.
36 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
Output of Daily Manifolds, Warrant Manifolds, etc.
There were 705,875 impressions turned out on the mimeo-
graph machine, comprising daily manifolds for the Bureau of
Criminal Investigation and other units, warrant manifolds,
bulletins and circular letters. Also, forms and lectures for the
Junior Police, Air-Raid Defense and related subjects of National
Emergency. This necessitated cutting of 1,355 stencils.
A change of 37 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 57 forms and cir-
culars photographed and 57 forms printed in upon a zinc plate.
There were approximately 117 Multilith plates used by this
unit in the past year and 75 films used. There were 195,000
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 electric addressograph machine to the printing
equipment.
Circulars Drafted, Containing Photographs and Fingerprints
of Fugitives.
During the year 33,000 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
a population of 5,000 or more, State bureaus of identification,
all army and navy recruiting stations. United States immigra-
tion offices and customs stations, and a number of the larger
cities in foreign countries. Circulars requesting co-operation
in the return of three missing persons were sent to all important
cities in the East and practically to every city in Massa-
chusetts.

Photographic Division.
The Photographic Division of the Bureau of Records is one
of the finest and most modern in the entire country. Its equip-
1942.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 37
merit 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 of every homicide case. The efficient operation
of the Medical Examiners' offices is improved by the co-op-
eration 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, particularly in arson cases. Juries
have been greatly assisted in determining the condition of the
burnt premises by the introduction and exhibition of these
photographs 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 the investigation of these felonies.
Identification Division.
In the Identification Division records are kept of all persons
committed to the Massachusetts State Prison, Massachusetts
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 the several counties of the
Commonwealth have been requested to furnish this Bureau
with a copy of the fingerprints of every inmate and they have
responded favorably. In addition to the foregoing, the files
contain many thousands of photographs and fingerprints,
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 forms the basis on which all other
files are dependent. It is at all times being checked to main-
38 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
tain accuracy. There are now recorded in the Main Index
File 729,950 persons. These include all persons arrested and
fingerprinted in the Bureau, applicants for Hackney Carriage
Licenses and applicants for Special 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 12,257 records
and in the Male Record Files there are 131,142 such records.
These records are continually being brought up to date by
co-operation w^ith 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 are 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 also
classified under head of the crime in which the subjects special-
ize. The "Local Segregated" file contains 36,895 photographs
and the "Foreign Segregated" file, 16,423 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
rendered to railroad and express companies.

Members of Bureau Visited Scenes of Homicides, Burglaries, etc.
Members of this Bureau visited scenes of homicides, bur-
glaries, robberies, suspicious fires and other crimes and secured
photographs of fingerprints, in many instances of the persons
who committed these crimes. In many cases photographs
were taken of the scene where the crime was committed. The
figures and other data in connection with the work are con-
tained 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 blood-
stained fabrics. Fingerprints that formerly could not be
photographed are now photographed with ease through the
use of luminous powders such as anthracene or luminous zinc
sulphide, due to radiations emitted by this lamp.
The " Fluor oscope" and ''White DrilV
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
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 be responsible for
serious accidents or death of persons. The value of- this
device in thwarting criminals is very apparent and makes 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
40 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
concerns, but is now performed, to the greatest possible extent,
by the photographers attached to this Bureau, resulting in a
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. Impressions
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 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 and to give that type of service which could be
rendered only by the most modern and best equipped photog-
rapher.
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 locahty.
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 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, has large sinks for washing films, a
Ferrotype dryer and other equipment for production of work
of high standard. This has been one of the major changes in
1942.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 41
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 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
the 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. Hereto-
fore, single fingerprints, or two or three, as the case might be,
taken at the scene of crime, were valuable only for comparison
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 of filing
fingerprints, but is a very valuable addition thereto. There
are, at present, on file in this Bureau, 19,500 Battley single
fingerprints and 1,600 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 the fingerprint files of this
Bureau. Identification of persons wanted for murder and
robbery while armed was among the most important made.
42 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
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
apphcant has ever had, or applied for, a license before. There
are now contained in the civilian files fingerprints and criminal
records, if any, of 11,010 hackney carriage drivers, 641 sight-
seeing automobile drivers and 3,734 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
subject typed thereon, showing dealings of the individual with
various law enforcement agencies throughout the country. In
such cases where a criminal subject used 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 truthfully said that the
1942.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 43
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 at 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 the prosecution of its case 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

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 files 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
46

[Jan.
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 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 had been located. Without
this service, such 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.

During the past year there was an increase in the total
number of persons reported missing of 1,484 cases over the
previous year. This was due in part to the increase in girls
between ages of fifteen and twenty-one leaving home, and may
have been attributed to the present National Defense Program.
During the last four-month period there was a noticeable
decrease in missing male cases between ages of fifteen and
twenty-one. This, also, may have been attributed to the
present National Defense Program.
It is of interest to comment that in a majority of extended
cases of missing persons and of habitual runaways, the parents

Warrant File.
Procedure as to Warrants Issued to or Received by this Department'.
The warrant file for the entire Police Department is 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 may be ascertained whether a warrant exists in the Depart-
ment for any person named. On service of the warrant
another card goes forward to the Bureau of Records with
necessary information of service.
Warrants Received from Outside Departments, Etc.
All warrants received from outside departments are cleared
through the 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 arrests
1942.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 49
on warrants issued to the Boston Police Department and
warrants of 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
jurisdiction, the officer in command of the arresting division
or unit is immediately notified and given full particulars and
the pohce division or unit in Boston or outside jurisdiction is
immediately notified 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 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,
1940, to November 30, 1941 :

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 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 another difficult and .strenuous year for officers of
the Traffic Division with increased numbers of tourists and
visitors from other parts of the country coming to our city, as
well as members and guests of conventions held this year at the
various hotels.
The Traffic Division was also confronted with a most trouble-
some problem of free movement of traffic in some of the arteries,
particularly Huntington avenue, where the underpass at
Massachusetts avenue is now completed and in operation,
resulting in more expeditious movement of traffic along this
busy thoroughfare ; and in Atlantic avenue, where construction
work is still in operation by the Works Progress Administration,
but which work will be completed in a short time; also Dewey
square, where construction work has been in operation for al-
most a year; as well as in the Park square section of this city, con-
sisting in most part of removal of tracks of the Boston Elevated
Railway and resurfacing of the street with cement pavement.
With these various projects in operation, it has been a
problem for the Traffic Division to solve conditions at various
locations and to overcome handicaps. The situations, however,
were handled successfully, and automobile traffic was kept
moving with a minimum of delay.
In other parts of the city, such as the North Station, where
the Boston Garden is located; the South Station, Boston Arena,
Mechanics Building, Symphony and Horticultural Halls,
Boston Opera House, Fenway Park, Sumner Tunnel, steamboat
wharves, the market and theatrical sections, — areas where
52 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
considerable congestion occurs, — it has been the duty of the
Traffic Division to make arrangements to keep traffic moving
at all times in the vicinity of these localities.
In the market section there has been an increase in the
number of tractor-rtrailers and other large commercial vehicles,
coming into this district. The handhng of these large vehicles,
most of which come from other states, has been in addition to
our many traffic problems. These trailers arrive early in the
morning in large numbers with merchandise, cluttering the
streets approaching the market section and impeding free
movement of traffic.
It has again this year been found necessary to assign traffic
officers to duty as early as six o'clock, a. m., on certain of the
posts in the market area, so that traffic could be kept moving
and merchants enable to get merchandise into their places
of business at an early hour to satisfy purchasers.
During the past year there has been much talk of establishing
terminals outside of the business area of this city for large
express companies, the business locations of which are now and
have been for some time past, located in streets that interfere
greatly with the free flow of traffic, but, up to the present time,
nothing constructive has been done to relieve this situation
which is rapidly becoming more serious. This is a problem
w^hich must be solved sooner or later.
The Traffic Division is called on throughout the year to
make necessary arrangements for large parades, such as the
Boston School Cadets, the Ancient and Honorable Artillery
Company, Armistice Day Parade and the "Santason" Parade
on Thanksgiving Day, as well as many other smaller parades.
These activities, in co-operation with other police divisions,
have been so well handled that work of the police has been
commended by officials of these organizations.
During the year the Traffic Division has been confronted
with a problem in assisting and escorting convoys and other
vehicles of the United States Government through streets of
our city as rapidly as possible, in order that occupants of such
convoys might get to destinations promptly.
Providing of escorts to meet such convoys of trucks, con-
taining soldiers and equipment from various army camps, at
various parts of our city line, at times, with Very short notice,
was most perplexing, but in all instances was carried out to a
successful close, taking into consideration the tremendous flow
1942.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 53
of automobile traffic in the main thoroughfares, such as Atlantic
and Northern avenues, Congress and Summer streets and
extension of the latter.
Many of the vehicles convoyed contained workers employed
in the Charlestown Navy Yard, the Navy Yard extension at
the Army Base, South Boston; the Bethlehem Steel Company
at Fore River, Quincy Point; S. A. Wood Machine Company
and Hunt-Spiller Manufacturing Corporation, and others.
A tremendous increase of pleasure motor vehicles, some
57,000 over that of a year ago, is disclosed by records of the
Registry of Motor Vehicles. The greater number of such
vehicles is owned and used by employees engaged in national
defense work at the foregoing plants.
These additional automobiles have added greatly to a
tremendous flow of traffic in Atlantic avenue, necessitating
assigning of twenty additional officers at various intersections
between Keany square and the South Station for traffic duty
between the hours of 3.30 p. m. and 6 p. m., as well as in
Northern avenue.
The arteries are used in great measure by defense workers
at such times on account of change of shifts at various defense
plants, such workers arriving in our highways, already taxed
to capacity, about the time when traffic is at its peak. This
overcrowded condition is particularly so in such main thor-
oughfares as Atlantic avenue, with its flow of tractor-trailers
and other large commercial vehicles going to and from various
wharves, railroad stations, freight terminals and business
establishments.
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 movement of traffic. All such recommendations,
however, are made only after thorough inspection and study of
various traffic problems.
54 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
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.
Organizations such as the Marine Corps League came
during the early part of June; the International Fire Chiefs.
August 16 to 19; and the American College of Surgeons from
cities all over the country, November 3 to 7, inclusive, — - all
of which conventions were handled in such a manner that
letters of praise were received by the Department.
The Division made necessary traffic arrangements for the
Boston University Annual Reunion, June 7, 1941, including
diversions of traffic from Bay State road; and for the twenty-
fifth Reunion of the Harvard Class of 1916, on June 17, both
of which events were so handled that letters of commendation
were sent from the officials in charge to this Department.
The Division provided escorts to and carried out satisfactory
arrangements for safe care of distinguished visitors to this
city during their stay, including Her Royal Highness Princess
Juliana of the Netherlands, June 12; and the visit of Viscount
Halifax, British Ambassador, and Lady Halifax, June 18,
including calls to His Eminence William Cardinal O'Connell,
Archbishop of Boston, 2101 Commonwealth avenue; Rt.
Reverend Henry K. Sherrill, Episcopal Bishop of Massachu-
setts, 1 Joy street; and trips to various defense works, such
as the South Boston dry dock at the Army Base.
The Division provided motorcycle escorts for such dis-
tinguished guests as Senator Burton K. Wheeler, in connection
with his speech at Symphony Hall, April 30, under auspices
of the "American First Committee"; Senator Gerald P. Nye
and Ex-Senator Rush D. Holt, in connection with their speeches
at Mechanics Building, Thursday evening, September 25,
under auspices of the same committee; Major-General Robert
L. Eichelberger, Superintendent of U. S. Mihtary Academy,
West Point, during visit of the United States Corps of Cadets
to Boston, Saturday, November 8, on occasion of its football
game with Harvard University at the Stadium; resulting in
receipt of letters of commendation on the well-ordered handling
of traffic, courtesy of the traffic officers encountered en route
and efficiency of motorcycle officers serving as escorts.
1942.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 55
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
from civic agencies. Endeavor is made to supply all such
information, as may be available, both from practical knowl-
edge and statistically.
Some of the duties successfully accomplished by the Traffic
Division were handling of over 1,000,000 persons who attended
baseball and football games at Fenway Park, regulation 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 12 to July 19; and
policing and handling of over 1,500,000 persons, many of them
children of tender age, who attended the "Santason" parade,
along its route. Thanksgiving Day, without injury or serious
mishap to any.
Traffic Conditions.
It has been the policy of the Traffic Division to assist in
every way strangers coming to our city for the purpose of
entertainment or patronizing our stores, hotels, restaurants, etc.
It is fully realized that many persons from outside cities
and towns, who come to our city for purposes described, are
not always aware of our traffic rules and regulations.
Oftentimes such visitors are prone to criticism of activities
of the police in enforcement of the Rules and Regulations of
the Boston Traffic Commission. However, members of the
Traffic Division, in exercise of their duties, have endeavored
to act with discretion and moderation, with a view, within
reason, to the welfare of our merchants and other types of
business, and to the accommodation of their patrons desiring
to spend money for merchandise or for entertainment.
Regulation of street traffic is under constant study by the
PoUce Commissioner, the Superintendent of PoUce and the
Deputy Superintendent in charge of traffic. These officials,
after years of practical experience in all phases of police work,
know the difficulties of the Police Department in this respect ,
and have knowledge of legal and other limitations affecting
action that may be taken or even contemplated, oftentimes
unknown to critics and well-intentioned advisors.
It is commendable how httle complaint there is regarding
traffic control in view of conditions which the police encounter
56 POLICE COMMISSIONER. -[Jan.
on every business day. Doubtless there are countless technical
and unintentional violations of traffic rules and regulations
every day. Good judgment would seem to dictate that it
would be unreasonable for the police to put persons into court
for such violations. However, obligations and duties of the
police as to enforcement of traffic rules and regulations will be
pushed steadily forward.
Tagging.
During the period, December 1, 1940, up to and including
November 30, 1941, the Traffic Division issued over 142,000
notices for violations of the "parking" rules. Such notices
were forwarded through the United States mail to owners of
offending automobiles, as contained in official records of the
Registry of Motor Vehicles, or by service in hand to the
operators.
Such a large number of notices would appear to be con-
clusive proof that the public, for most part, fails, through lack
of desire or heedlessness, to fully co-operate with the Police
Department; and that it is careless and indifferent to restric-
tion signs in the parking of automobiles. The police have
found that such autoists leave their vehicles unlawfully for
long periods of time upon streets of our city; this, for their own
convenience and inconvenience of the public, in general; and,
further, park them in ''restricted" areas, where warning signs,
conspicuously displayed, prohibit such parking.
Extension of Parking Time.
Complaints, written and otherwise, having been received
from business houses in the down-town area, that their patrons,
under then existing restriction as to one-hour parking, had not
sufficient time within which to purchase merchandise; and
physicians and surgeons, particularly those located in the
Back Bay section of the city, having also registered objections
to the same restriction of one-hour parking, — in that their
patients were denied reasonable time to call for treatment, — -the
Police Commissioner, in an effort to better serve the public,
particularly the classes of business people herein stated, recom-
mended to the Boston Traffic Commission an increase in park-
ing-time limit from one to two hours, which recommendation
was adopted by the Commission, August 25, 1941, so that
section 11, as amended, of the Rules and Regulations of said
1942.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 57
Boston Traffic Commission, relating to the subject of "Parking
Time Limited," now reads as follows:
"Except as otherwise provided, no driver shall park
any vehicle between the hours of 7 a. m. and 6 p. m. of any
day, except Sundays and public holidays, on any street or
highway for a period of time longer than two (2) hours."
This extension of the parking time immediately met with
favorable response by the merchants, professional men of the
Back Bay section, and the public in general.
Also, the attitude of our business people in /the intown
section may well be reflected in the tenor of typical communi-
cations received by this Department : first, from Chandler and
Company, 150 Tremont street, by Mr. George Hansen, Presi-
dent and Treasurer (also President of Retail Board of the
Boston Chamber of Commerce).
From Chandler and Company:
"June 27, 1941.
"I was very pleased to read that the two-hour parking
regulation has been extended thirty days. However, I
trust that when this thirty-day period has expired the
two-hour parking will be continued indefinitely.
"The two-hour parking regulation has been a great con-
venience to all persons who drive into the City of Boston
to transact business, including both men and women. It
has enabled women shoppers to select and purchase mer-
chandise with a great deal more leisure than the one-hour
parking rule allowed.
"The size and importance of any city is measured by
the amount of business transacted therein, and anything
that can be done to further this is of great value to both
the persons doing business in that city as well as to the
persons living in that community.
"There are thousands of persons employed in the stores
in the City of Boston. The livelihood of this large number
of persons is dependent upon the business done in these
various stores. Together with this, there are many
milUons of dollars' worth of merchandise on sale in the City
of Boston, and it is only by gettmg customers into these
stores that such merchandise can be disposed of.
"The great shopping population of metropolitan Boston
appreciates the value of such a large shopping centre as
58 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
Boston is, and we certainly want to give these people a fair
chance to come to Boston to make their purchases.
"This letter may be a little lengthy, but this matter
is a very serious proposition to the City of Boston and
should not be passed over lightly with a few remarks."
Another communication to the Department, commenting on
extension of parking time allowed, was received from the
E. T. Slattery Company, 154-157 Tremont street, Mr. Patrick
A. O'Connell, President and Treasurer, which reads, in part, as
follows :
From E. T. Slattery Company :
"May 29, 1941.
"I was delighted to read about the extension of the
parking rules from one to two hours. We have had some
very favorable remarks from our customers with respect
to it. Every one does not want two hours but a great
many people require that time in order to complete their
purchases."
Mr. O'Connell continues in his letter that under the rule of
one-hour parking a prospective customer, in mstances cited by
him, did not have sufficient opportunity to complete shopping,
fearing "tagging"; had hurriedly left, and perhaps completed
needed purchases in suburban stores of merchandise which
could have been obtained in this city.
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 proper places and manner in
which they should cross the street. Through constant and
persistent short safety talks by officers assigned to this auto-
mobile, the general public is rapidly becoming more accident
conscious.
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
1942.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 59
bii.sy 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 w^hich 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 members of
the M-1 Safety Squad, its membership consisting of children
of school age, 16 years of age and under.
During the past year officers in the safety car visited and
gave safety talks and demonstrations at some 750 schools in
the city, public, parochial and private, at which approximately
315,000 pupils, 1,700 teachers and 20,000 parents of children
were present.
During the summer season the car visited many Park
Department playgrounds and participated in "Safety Shows"
under supervision of the Director of Recreation of such depart-
ment, as well as giving short safety talks at other Park Depart-
ment activities. It is estimated that nearly 200,000 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, circus and boxing bouts were provided
for entertainment of spectators; and at Fenway Park during
football and baseball championship games. Thejpar was also
used in connection with large parades, such as Evacuation Day
Parade, South Boston, March 17; Bunker Hill Day Parade,
Charlestown, June 17; Armistice Day Parade, November 11;
"Santason" Parade, November 20; Flag Day Parade; Parade
for Sale of Defense Stamps and Bonds; as well as exercises on
Boston Common in connection with Flag Day. During these
60 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
parades the car toured the route in advance of marchers to
clear the way and notify persons along its route that the parade
was approaching.
The car was also used in co-operation with the Massachusetts
Public Safety Committee on Boston Common, during demon-
stration of air-raid precautions. It assisted greatly by use
of its loud speaker in preventing injury to spectators and
impressing upon their minds need for greater safety.
During school vacation in the summer the car rendered
excellent service to children gathered at school playgrounds,
giving safety talks to approximately 40,000 young persons at
some 100 various playgrounds.
The car, with its officers, has also been called on many times
to appear at gatherings of employees of large trucking concerns,
telegraph offices, theatres, civic and fraternal organizations,
the Burroughs Newsboys' Foundation, policy holders of large
insurance companies, and other business establishments, at
all of which places safety talks were given to employees of
these various concerns or to persons in attendance.
During the past year many calls have been received for the
Safety Educational car to visit other cities and towns to give
talks along safety hnes, such as to pupils of the schools in
Wakefield, to Boy Scouts in Reading, and Boy Scouts in
Waltham. In all cases, where it was possible to do so, and
without interfering with school schedules in Boston, compliance
was made with these requests.
On August 24, the Safety Educational automobile went to
Philadelphia, Pa., attending the convention of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars of the United States, taking part in the parade
and giving safety talks through the streets of the city of Phila-
delphia. This activity resulted in receipt of favorable letters.
As a result of this program conducted by the Safety Educa-
tional car, complimentary letters have been received from
persons in various walks of life.
Reduction in personal injuries caused by automobiles has
continued, a§ attested by official records of the Registry of
Motor Vehicles, showing only 68 fatalities for period of time,
January 1 to November 30, 1941, as compared with 81 fatahties
for the same period last year.
The City of Boston has continued to be 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,
1942.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 61
which may be attributed in great measure to activities of the
Safety Educational car and its officers.
Every possible endeavor is being made to have Boston in
first place in the minimum number of automobile fatalities,
through the constant campaign waged by the Safety automobile.
These safety talks and 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 recurringly in receipt of communications
from persons in authority in various places, requesting informa-
tion relative to such work, as well as inquiring what might be
done in their various communities to build up a program that
would result in the favorable conditions that obtain in Boston.

BALLISTICS UNIT.
Formation and Duties.
The activities of this Unit, with its personnel, aire under
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 direction of the Superin-
tendent of Police, has charge of the care and custody of all
firearms, explosives and substances of explosives coming into

gency calls after regular working hours, and put in many extra
hours of duty. Two hundred twenty-five hours of duty were
performed in this manner. Two hundred fifty-nine days were
spent in court by members of this Unit on ballistics, hand-
writing and moulage cases.
Of the total cases, ballistics numbered 278 (which included

Armory during the year and during revolver practice at the
West Roxbury Revolver Range in the summer months.

safety, in waters of outer Boston Harbor.
Examination of Suspected Bombs.
This office is equipped with the latest type, portable X-ray
equipment for examining suspected bombs and other types of

year.
There were no horse-drawn carriages licensed during the
year.
There were 53 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 of
these were restored to the owners and the balance of 13 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, 1941, "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 apphcation 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 hmit for the number of
hackney carriage hcenses to be issued, which hmit 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 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 hcense under provisions of said amending section.
The Police Commissioner further announced in said sub-
sequent General Order, effective as of January 6, 1940, that
hackney carriage licenses may be granted to the number here-
1942.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 89
tofore 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 licenses
limited under the Act, with amendment, referred to, has been
issued, the Department of Public Utihties, on petition of such
appUcant, may after a hearing determine that public con-
venience and necessity require a higher hmit 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 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 Police Commissioner as of February 11, 1939, at 7.45
o'clock, a. m., established pubhc 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 hst of pubUc taxicab stands on file in the office of
Inspector of Carriages.)
During the police year, December 1, 1940, to November 30,
1941, there were 11 pubhc taxicab stands, with capacity for 38
cabs, estabhshed, and 8 pubhc taxicab stands, with capacity
for 28 cabs, abolished.
There are 488 established public taxicab stands, with capacity
for 1,273 cabs, at the present time.
90 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
Hackney Carriage Licenses Granted.
The total number of licensed hackney carriages at present is
1,332 as compared with 1,357 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 20 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
carrying for a consideration of persons for sight-seeing
purposes in or from the city of Boston and in or on which
automobile guide service by the driver or other person
is offered or furnished."
Previous to this enactment a sight-seeing automobile was
held to mean an automobile "which was capable of seating
eight or more persons and was used or offered for the 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 hcensed by the Police Commissioner,
and unless thereafter there is obtained from the Department
of Public Utilities a certificate, declaring that public con-
venience 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 licensed
so to do.
During the year ending November 30, 1941, there have been
issued licenses for 20 sight-seeing automobiles and 12 designated
stands for the same.
1942.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 91
Continuing with our practice, "new" sight-seeing automobile
drivers for the year commencing as of March 1, 1941, 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 17 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,
3,619 tags were issued to taxicab drivers for various violations.
One thousand three hundred fifty-three penalties were imposed
(including 3 suspensions), and 35 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
3,022 drivers licensed by the Police Commissioner.
Appeal Board.
In accordance with Hackney Carriage Rules and Regulations,
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, desig-
nated 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.
92 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
Supervisory Force.
Since February 11, 1939, when public 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
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 car-
riage 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
in any city or town for the carriage of passengers for
hire in such a manner as to afford a means of transpor-
tation similar to that afforded by a railway company,
by indiscriminately 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, 85 appHcations for such hcenses were re-
ceived. Of these, 84 were granted and one rejected. One of
the hcenses granted was canceled for non-payment. (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."
1942.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 93
2. For the licensee who required a definite stand, the
license stated that it was "For a designated wagon stand
in the highway."
AppHcations for such designated stands were accompanied
by written approval of owners, lessees or official representatives
of abutting property.
Of the 84 granted, 45 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
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 Commissioner for said city on account of such
transportation or the use of motor vehicles therein."
The legislation referred to did not affect custoniary pro-
cedure of this Department in issuing a "wagon" hcense 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.
