Fitton Annual Report REPORT OF THE CITY CLERK 1956 Honorable Cyril K, Brennan, Mayor City of Attleboro, Massachusetts Dear Sir: It is a pleasure to enclose the annual report of the City Clerkfe Department for 1956 during which a total of $14, 959. 40 was taken in over the counter for all types of licenses, permits and fees, A total of $5, 474. 75 was taken in for sporting li- censes, $4, 201, 00 for dog licenses and $5, 283. 65 for various city licenses, per- mits and fees. During the year the work has been carried on by the clerk, assistant clerk and one part time helper, probably the smallest City Clerk's staff in the State. The office has been kept open each Wednesday night, year round, until 8:00 P. M. , and as further accomodation the clerk made the annual trip to South Attleboro in the dog licensing season. Because of a lack of room in the combined clerk-treasurers office and lack of filing space working conditions are bad and growing worse. It is a matter that should be given some attention immediately, having been adroitly side-stepped for too many years. Attached is a report of vital statistics as recorded at closing time today, com- pared with those of the three preceding, years, also a summary of the cash business done and a record of sales of sporting licenses and dog licenses. Beside the crying need for more working and record storing space this depart- ment is doing nicely and expects to continue along those lines in 1957. Yours truly , Kenneth F, Blandin City Clerk 1 .

  • Basic Radio Propagation Predictions for February 1956: Three Months In
    ^ % 3 msb Basic Radio Propagation Predictions FOR FEBRUARY 1956 Three Months in Advance Issued November 1955 CRPL Series D Number 135 The Central Radio Propagation Laboratory The propagation of radio waves over long distances depends on their reflection from the ionosphere, the electri¬ cally conducting layers in the earth’s upper atmosphere. The characteristics of these layers are continually chang¬ ing. For regular and reliable communication, it is therefore necessary to collect and analyze ionospheric data from stations all over the world in order that predictions of usable frequencies between any two places at any hour can be made. During the war, the United States Joint Communications Board set up the Interservice Radio Propagation Laboratory at the National Bureau of Standards to centralize ionospheric work and predictions for the Armed Forces of the United States. On May 1, 1946, this activity returned to peacetime status as the Central Radio Propagation Laboratory of the National Bureau of Standards. Designed to act as a permanent centralizing agency for propagation predictions and studies, analogous in the field of radio to the reports of the Weather Bureau in the field of meteorology, the Central Radio Propagation Laboratory was established in cooperation with the many Government agencies vitally concerned with communication and radio propagation problems. These agencies are represented on an Interdepartment Coun¬ cil on Radio Propagation and Standards which assists in furthering the work of the Laboratory; included are the Departments of State, Army, Navy and Air Force, United States Information Agency, United States Coast Guard, Civil Aeronautics Administration and Federal Communications Commission. Observers have been designated by the Air Navigation Development Board, Interdepartment Radio Advisory Committee, United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, and United States Weather Bureau.
