Parking Meters — Six Months in Operation
on January first, the parking meters installed on Hyannis
Main Streei Had brotiglii in $7,862.50 since .Inl y K) , the date
df their installation, This figure represents -"> '/< of th e total
intak e , since IW/i goes to the meter company in payment of
Hi,, meters. The money retained by the town is used for the
operating expenses of the meter system. These expenses are
considerable, involving a maintenance man to keep the meters
checked, the money taken out and counted (the latt er absorbing
n lull day 's work); repairs , and so on. The meters cost $22,500
mi ll the installation appr oximatel y $1900.
It is estimated that it will take two more years aft er this
lirst year to complete payments for the meters, In the mean-
time, the Town is required to use its proceeds exclusivel y on
the operational expenses. After the machines are paid for and
surp lus funds are available over and above operational charges,
it will lie necessary to seek special legislative enactment t o
use the money for another tow n purpose.
To date the system can be said to be holding its own. On
the first of January there was ;i balance on band of $17:2 .
It is expected that when the (irst year is up next Jul y,
I stimated total for the year will have been taken in to the
amoxuit of some $18 ,000. During the summer the in take averages
about $100. a day, while at the present season it is about $25.

III the annual report of the Town
of Barnstable Police Department
for the year 1948, signed by Harry
I W. Lawes, Jr., Chief of Police, tin
' invitation is extended to the pub-
lic to visit the police station to
see the modern equipment, A Fin-
gerprint and Photography Bureau !
was added to the department the
year preceding that for which the
report was made, so that it has
been In operation an entire year.
It has proved itself of substantial
benefit to the town , according to
Chief Lawes, .shown by the fact
that loll cases were handled In
which it was necessary to have
photographs for evidence . Calling
upon the department for photo-
graphic assistance were such r.geo
cles as the Registry of Motor Ve
hides, the MSPCC, and other Cap
Police Departments. Calling atten-
tion to the slight maintenance co
i ;' one dcllr per day, which it ;
expected to amount to this yor '
Chief Lawes states that it Is a
small cost for priceless evidence,
since a photograph lasts forever
Expressing an appreciation of
the cooperation and Confidence the
department has enjoyed from the
citizens of the town , Chief Lawes
says that arrests are a small part
of a modern police department, and
that the citizens would be inter-
ested in visiting the station to see
