OF Division 10
Patrolman Harold F. MacDonald of Division 10 is hereby-
awarded the Walter Scott Medal for Valor and a Department
Medal of Honor for meritorious duty performed on November
25, 1953.
At 7:00 P.M., Wednesday, November 25, 1953, while Patrol-
man MacDonald and his partner, Patrolman Francis J. Car-
doza, were cruising in Huntington avenue, they received a
radio broadcast to be on the lookout for two armed hold up
men who had just held up at gun point a cleansing shop on
Division 16, and may be using a motor vehicle. Shortly after,
the}^ observed a motor vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed
and they pursued this car along Huntington avenue into
Ruggles street and forced it to the side of the road in Tremont
street. As they left the pohce car to approach the vehicle, the
occupant on the passenger side jumped from the car with a
revolver in his hand, fired several times point blank at Patrol-
man MacDonald, one of the shots striking the officer in the
chest and severely wounding him. However, in spite of his
wound, he grappled with and held on to the second bandit
who A\as behind the wheel of the car until help arrived and
brought the officer to the City Hospital and the bandit to
the station. Officer Cardoza attempted to catch the bandit
who shot Officer MacDonald but lost him. However, he was
later captured in Worcester as the result of information fur-
nished them but only after he was seriously woimded in his
attempt to shoot his way free.

the South Boston Army Base, Btitrohnaii C'uiisli rcccixed u
radio call relative to a hold u}) of a liciuor store on East liroad-
way, South Boston. The officer proceeded aloii.u L street
toward Columbia road, turninp; right on Colimihia road in
the direction of Columbia Station and, at a point between
K and I streets, ob.served a man answeiing the description of
the number one suspect walking in the same direction. The
officer parked the car and went after the suspect on foot and,
seeing the officer, the suspect i-an to the opposite side of Colum-
bia road, the beach side, disobeying the officer's command to
halt, vaulted the stone wall and landed on the sandy beach.
As the officer approached the wall he observed the suspect
emptying the pockets of his jacket and trying to biuy same
in the sand. After a brief struggle the officer took the suspect
in custody and ordered him over the wall, at \\hich time Uvo
cruising cars arrived and the officers held the suspect while
Officer Caristi retrieved the inoney, bills and coins in the sand.
At Division G the suspect was identified and later in a line-up
was identified as one of the bandits m'Iio had held up two
liquor stores, one drug store and an attempted robbery of a
shoe store.
Patrolman Kenneth G. I.ehane of ])i^•ision 9 is awarded a
Department Medal of Honor for meritorious duty performed
on April 17, 1954. About 1:10 a.m., April 17, 1954, while
Patrolman Lehane Avas on his way home from a paid detail
in his own car, and while making a left turn into Washington
street, Dorchester, from Blue Hill avenue, he observed two
men coming up Washington street toward Blue Hill a\'enue.
The officer kept these men under observation and observed
them push open a wooden door leading into an alley behind
a block of stores on Washington street and Blue Hill avenue.
The officer parked his car and crossed over the street to the
door through which the men had entered. He listened and
heard large objects being pushed around and a few minutes
later heard an object, later identified as a safe, being rolled
down the stairs. The officer called a passing citizen to summon
aid while he pushed open the door and entered the alley. He
observed a man climbing to the roof of a building and another
man standing in the open rear door of a delicatessen, and
when the man saw the officer he turned and started running.
The officer pursued him up Washington street and overtook
him, and after a brief struggle placed him under arrest. At

the station the suspect was identified and admitted that he
and three other men had planned to break and enter the
building and force open the safe. The other three men were
subsequently arrested.
Patrolman Herbert M. Hazelton of Division 11 is awarded
a Department Medal of Honor for meritorious duty performed
on May 27, 1954. About 1:10 a.m., May 27, 1954, while
Patrolman Hazelton was off duty and in uniform while
returning from a paid detail, he observed a man acting in a
suspicious manner in the vicinity of a clothing store on Wash-
ington street, Dorchester. The officer drove his automobile
to the rear of Dorchester Court which is directly across the
street and kept the suspect under surveillance. The suspect
then kicked in the window of the front door of this store and
then ran down adjacent Tremlett street and concealed him-
self. Minutes later the suspect returned and entered the
building through the broken front door window. The officer
with drawn revolver Avent to the front of the store and arrested
the suspect as he emerged carrying thirteen suits of men's cloth-
ing in his arms. At the station the suspect was identified
as one who had a long criminal record dating as far back as
1923, including a sentence of five to twelve years in State
Prison for assault with intent to rob and three to five years for
breaking and entering in the nighttime. He also served time
in San Quentin Prison for burglary.
Sergeant-Detective William C. Williams and Detectives
Thomas J. Mahoney and Edwin P. Cashman of the Detective
Bureau each is awarded a Department Medal of Honor for
meritorious duty performed on June 26, 1954. About 6:10
P.M., June 26, 1954, while Sergeant-Detective Williams with
Detectives Mahoney and Cashman were patrolling Divisions
10 and 13, and when in Washington street, near Egleston
square, they received a radio message relative to a holdup
that had just taken place at a grocery store on Centre street,
Jamaica Plain. These officers proceeded immediately toward
the scene of the crime, and when in Boylston street near
Amory street, observed an automobile traveling in an easterly
direction in Boylston street, and when about fifty feet from
Amory street colHded with the rear end of another car. The
operator jumped from the car and made an attempt to run
from the scene. Sergeant-Detective WilUams and Detective
Mahoney gave chase along Boylston street into Amory street
1954.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 11
when Detective jNIahoney discharged three shots from his
service revolver into the air which had the desired effect of
stopping the man who stumbled, at which time a .32 caUber
German Mauser fell from his person to the sidewalk. The
money taken in the holdup Avas recovered in the rear of the
car and at Headquarters the bandit admitted his part in
the holdup.
Patrolmen Walter J. Lindsay and Walter C. Libby of
Division 1 each is awarded a Department Medal of Honor
for meritorious duty performed on August 31, 1954. About
12:25 P.M., August 31, 1954, shortly before the steeple of the
Old North Church, Salem street, collapsed and fell to the
street, partly on the adjacent buildings causing the roofs of
these buildings to collapse. Patrolmen Lindsay and Libb}^
carried from the fourth floor of one building an 82-year-ol(l
invalid confined to a wheel chair for the past sixteen years,
and also removed a 90-year-old woman who had also been
confined to her home for several years. The same officers,
with members of the Fire Department and Police Department
evacuated about thirty people from the above buildings and
about one hundred families from adjoining buildings, and
about five minutes after the above people had been evacuated
the steeple crashed. At the time of the steeple falling an
unknown woman was observed standing in Hull street by
Officer Lindsay who, unmindful of the danger to himself,
leaped for the woman, pushing her into a doorway, the officer
being struck on the back by the faUing debris to which he paid
no attention. This act no doubt saved the woman from pos-
sible death or serious injury, as the spot where she was pushed
from was covered with debris from the steeple.
Detective Arthur O'Shea of Division 9 is awarded a Depart-
ment Medal of Honor for meritorious duty performed on
September 23, 1954. On September 23, 1954, about 11:45
A.M., Detective O'Shea received information that a suspicious
character, who might be connected with an atrocious murder
which took place a month before, had gone to a certain house
in the Roxbury District. As there was no time to secure help.
Detective O'Shea entered the house where this individual was
supposed to be armed, and arrested him. After being ques-
tioned by Detective O'Shea, the suspect confessed to the
murder and was delivered to the Brighton Station for
prosecution.

a separate person, was 98,124 as against 93,294 for 1953.
There were 18,49G arrests on warrants and 33,137 without
warrants; 4G,491 were summoned by the courts.
The number of males arrested Avas 87,609; of females, 10,515;
of foreigners, 2,315; of delinquents, 3,448; of minors, 8,543;
of nonresidents, 31,647.
The number of persons punished by fines was 38,167, and
the assessment of fines imposed by the courts amounted to
§157,671.00.
The total number of days' attendance at court by officers
was 41,725, and the witness fees earned amounted to 820,142.60.
There were 25,680 persons arrested for drunkenness, an
average of 70 per day, as against 26,451 or an a\erage of 72
per day in 1953.
One Imndred nineteen persons were committed to the State
Prison; 1,951 to the House of Correction; 40 to the Women's
Piison; 90 to the Reformatory Prison; and 3,062 to other

The value of propert}^ stolen in the city amounted to
$3,050,739.06, and the value recovered amounted to
§2,314,025.55.
The Commissioner has attempted to find out what percentage
of arrests in other cities is of nonresidents. This percentage is
so small in other cities that statistics are not kept of this class
of arrests; therefore, it should be borne in mind in making
comparison of Boston with other cities, either of the cost of
policing or of criminal statistics, that 32 per cent of the arrests
in Boston is of nonresidents, whereas other cities have but a
neghgible percentage of arrests of nonresidents.
For the twelve months ending November 30, 1954, as
compared Avith the same period ending with November 30,
1953, a brief comparison of the number of arrests for major
offenses may l)e of interest and is submitted herewith:

1954.1 PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 15
BUREAU OF CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION
The Bureau of Criminal Investigation is composed of several
units, namely, Automobile, Ballistics, Chemical Laboratory,
Homicide, Lost and Stolen Property, Identification, Missing
Persons, Night Motor Patrol.
In addition, special squads are assigned to cover the follow-
ing phases of police work and investigations : banking, express
thieves, general investigation, holdups, hotels, narcotics, pawn-
]:)rokers, junk shops, second-hand articles dealers, pickpockets,
shoplifters.
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 cooperate in every way possible with
outside police departments in investigation of crime and
l)rosecution of criminals.
Automobile Unit
This unit 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 coopera-

Department and immigration authorities of the United States.
The automobile imit index contains records 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 unit through information obtained from
this index.
All applications for Used Car Dealer's Licenses are investi-
gated by officers of this unit. Freciuent 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 unit during the year identified a number of automobiles
which were recovered or found abandoned on police divisions,
restoring them to their o\Miers, and have assisted in solving
many crimes l)y means of their positive identifications.

Lost and Stolen Property Unit
A description of all articles reported lost, stolen or found
in this city is filed in this unit. Many cities and towns through-
out the United States forward lists of property stolen in such
places. All pawnbrokers and second-hand dealers submit
daily reports of all articles pawned or purchased. A com-
parison of the description of articles reported 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.
Pawnshops and second-hand shops are inspected daily,
for the purposes of identifying property which may have
been stolen.

MULTILITH AND MiMEOGRAPH
Installation of a Multilith machine under direct supervision
of an experienced operator enables this department to prepare
and complete printing of circulars containing photographs and
1954.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 23
fingerprints of persons cither reported missing or wanted for
criminal offenses. This MiiltiUth machine is also used to
print department forms.
The original investment in this machme has been repaid
many times. This machine has proved to be a distinct ad-
vantage in efficiency and speed in the issuance of department
circulars, which serve a very important function in the appre-
hension of fugitives from justice.
The Multilith machine is completely equipped with camera,
arc lights, vacuum frame, which add to the varied output of
this machine. This machine is capable of printing in approxi-
mately two hours' time, descriptive circulars of persons wanted.
In some instances circulars are completed and mailed to out-
side cities before a fugitive arrives at his destination.
This unit, in addition to the Multilith machine, has a high-
speed electric addressograph machine, and also an electric
mimeograph machine. The mimeograph machine was used to
make daily manifolds, warrant manifolds, bulletins, circular
letters for the Bureau of Criminal Investigation and other
unit's and divisions, and Police School lessons.
The Multilith machine was used to make department forms,
letters and circulars.
24 POLICE COMMISSIONER.

TRAFFIC DIVISION
The Traffic Division embraces that area of the city which
Hes within the jurisdiction of Divisions 1, 2, 3, and 4. Prior
to June 28, 1954, it mcluded also the area comprising Division
16 and the traffic post at Boston University bridge, Division 14,
which, on that date, reverted to the respective divisions.
The Traffic Division enforces all statutes, ordinances, rules
and regulations pertaining to traffic within the area of its
jurisdiction. It processes parking violation notices for the entire
department. It provides a program of safety education.
Activities
An mcrease in the volume of traffic was noted during the
past year. The Registrar of Motor Vehicles reports total
plates issued at October 31, 1954, amounted to 1,488,884, as
against a figure of 1,431,053 at the corresponding time in 1953.
Construction of the John F. Fitzgerald Expressway is now
in full swing with activity along the entire structure from
the North Station to Fort Hill square. Demolition activity
has begun m the next section to be undertaken, presently
between Oliver street and Dewey square.
A limited section of the expressway, between the Charles-
Nashua-Leverett streets rotary and North street, was opened
to traffic October 29, 1954. It is expected that the entire
section between the North Station and Fort Hill square will be
in service by late Spring, 1955.
The opening of the expressway showed an immediate benefi-
cial effect in the ground level traffic of the North Station
area. However, congestion was noted on the North street
end of the run, which terminates at the intersection of Black-
stone street, where ground level construction is as yet incom-
plete. This situation should adjust itself as construction is
completed and the expressway extended.
Despite this extensive construction program, traffic has
moved remarkably close to the normal pattern.
The usual parades were conducted as in former years with
the exception of the Columbus Day parade which, as is cus-
tomary, is conducted on the alternate years m East Boston.
The usual traffic congestion was experienced durmg the
Veterans' Day parade, Thursday, November 11, .1954. Most
1954.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 27
retail stores opened for business at 1:00 p.m., and attracted
great numbers of shoppers. The parade, startmg at 2:00 p.m.,
is routed through the heart of the shopping district.
Notable visitors to our city, for whom escort service was
provided by the Traffic Division, included President Eisen-
hower, Vice-President Nixon, Presidential Assistant Sherman
Adams, the Emperor of Ethiopia, the Ambassadors of Korea
and of Ireland, the Governors of Maine and ]\Iaryland, Senator
Bridges, Admiral Strauss, the Commanders of the Marine
Corps League and of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Im-
perial Potentate of the Shriners of North America, James
Melton, Jehovah Witnesses and many others.
Parking
Parking violation notices issued by the Traffic Division for
the year ended November 30, 1954, amounted to 505,979, a
gain of 48,573 over the preceding year and an all-time high
for the department. Of this figure, 283,527 were reported by
officers of the Traffic Division, the balance by officers of the
other divisions of the department.
Revenue from parking violations in the Central Municipal
jurisdiction amounted to $405,006.15 for the year ended
November 30, 1954. Parking meter revenue for the same period
amounted to S594,712.14.
The 8:00-9:30 a.m. parking regulation in the downtown
section of the city, adopted on a 60-day trial basis November 9,
1953, has now been made permanent. The successful enforce-
ment of a regulation of this type requires the services of a great
many officers but the results obtained in the form of a hghter
early morning traffic load plus the availability of more parking
spaces for the shopping public would seem to make it well
worth the effort involved.
At the present time there are three City of Boston off-street
parking facilities in full-scale operation and the construction
of several more is under active consideration. Consideration
is being given also to the possibility of utilizing the area under
the new expressway for parking purposes.
Safety Education
The Traffic Division conducts a Safety Education program
which reaches mto all the schools of the city, private, parochial
and public. The officers of the jM-1 Safety Squad fulfill a
28 POLICE COMMISSIONER.
complete schedule of safety talks and demonstrations in the
\arious schools and continue their A\ork in the playgrounds
during the school vacation periods.
The weekly half-hour radio program, supervised by these
ofl&cers in conjunction with the teachers of the various schools,
Avas continued this year through the facilities of Radio Station
WMEX. This program features the children of our schools
who take active part in the production and presentation of
])lays on the general theme of safety.
No effort is spared to make our children safety conscious
and thus reduce to a minimum the accidents which can so
easily maim or kill them. The very favorable accident record
of our city attests in no small measure to the success of these
efforts.
Traffic Problems
As new sections of the expressway are opened to travel,
we are faced with the problem of adapting our traffic setup
to provide for a changing pattern of traffic flow. This picture
will continue to change from time to time as the work pro-
gresses until the expressway is completed in its entirety and
a permanent pattern of traffic f^o^\• is established.
The conflict of jDarades with "business as usual" conditions
in the heart of the city continues as a serious traffic problem.
Illegal parking, despite record enforcement, constitutes
our major traffic problem and indicates the need of a stiffer
schedule of penalties. The tow law, recently enacted, might
prove of considerable importance in attacking this i^roblem.
