Inaugural Address of Henry Graf, Jr., Mayor of the City of Newburyport, January 2, 1956
Mr. President and Members of the City Council:
Before I begin the expression of those thoughts that I deem appropriate to this moment, would you permit me the privilege of offering my sincere thanks to the citizens of the community for their confidence so expressed by making my return to office possible and to reaffirm to the people of Newburyport my desire to serve them to the best of my ability and in their best interest.
I should like at this time to welcome back you members of the City Council with whom I have worked for the past two years and to greet Councillor O'Connor on his return to service in your Honor- able Body. I ask your considered cooperation in the next two years in all matters pertinent to the progress of our City.
Each year, every member of Municipal Government finds his task more complicated and more demanding. Ours is a demanding society which as such, unfortunately, does not follow one channel. There are always several channels which tend to challenge the thinking of Government officers, so I would, therefore, urge that wherever possible we who are entrusted with the Destinies of our city for the ensuing two years endeavor to form our judgements and conclusions without regard to personalities or prejudice, keeping in mind only that our city must develop or die -- in this age of uncertainity and competition. There is no other alternative.
Let us, you as Councillors and I as Mayor, be not dilatory in our thoughts, words and actions in matters where the life of the city is concerned. May I request the same cooperation from your Honorable Body as was evidenced during the past two years. in mind, however, I am not asking for rubber stamp action. Honest disagreement ishealthy and tends to the success of sincere effort. Let us enhance the feeling of mutual trust which has in the past brought forth much for the benefit of the city and the people.
Bear
I regret that each member of the Council cannot spend each day involved in the routing daily business of municipal govern- ment, and in particular the Mayor's Office. But, believe me, we are running a huge business -- and in comparison -- our present working staff is at a low minimum. We must not attempt to be lavish in our staff or our administration expenditures, but we must provide adequate personnel to comply with the demands of the office or de- partment.
I trust that we shall continue to take a positive stand on the many issues that will arise, resolving these problems without resort to political expediency -- but rather resolve them for the benefit of all.
We can look with pride on our accomplishments of the past two years. Admittedly, we have not progressed as quickly as de- sired, but we have been beset by many difficulties, some of human making and others caused by the unpredictable forces of nature. . In the over all, we have been most successful; we are well on the road to bringing our new school at the North End and our Gym at the Brown School into being. We must strive to see that our young people are given the best possible facility within our means. Delays inherent in such a project have already raised their ugly head -- they are seem- ingly inevitable -- they occur everywhere. But we must cope with them and attempt to give to the city the best we can humanly expect to give, within our means. We must not fail.
8
May I interject at this point that private educational facilities are being improved as is evident by the construction of the parochial school and I offer my sincere congratulations to Father Corbett for his untiring efforts that will be ultimately, a source of pride to his parish and of considerable benefit to our city as a whole.
Our parking situation has been greatly improved in re- spect to the problem in the Kent Street parking area, and at pre- sent indications all costs to the city will be reimbursed in approxi- mately three years. By this parking construction, we have satis- fied the people of the area and indicated our cooperation to industry and ultimately to our people who work at CBS-Hytron. I trust this project indicates to industry that the Mayor and the City Council are most receptive to the needs of Industry as we hope that industry is cognizant of the needs of our city.
It is my sincere hope, and I feel that it is the sincere hope of every member of the City Council, that in the very near future we will be able to alleviate the parking situation in our business district. We must bear in mind that adequate parking space in the business area reflects itself in the overall income of the people whose living is dependent on the operation of our stores and mercantile establishments.
As the requirement of income is essential for the com- fort and well being of our citizens, so too must the city have in- come to provide for the further benefits of the people. While election statements were made to the contrary, I want you to know the financial position of the city is sound. Despite this happy situation, it must be emphasized -- and strongly emphasized -- that the basic cost of government, consisting of services, labor and material, is ever rising.
As with private industry, so too with Government, cost increases are the trend and the comparative rate of increase corres- ponds. We can be prudent in our expenditures but in order to pro- vide something over the basic needs and requirements we must be understandingly prepared to spend larger amounts of money as each successive year passes. It is disagreeable to think that this is the situation but it is more disagreeable to do. We must face the fact that it is the trend of the times.
Since the principal source of revenue for this city is real estate, personal and excise taxes, it must necessarily follow to meet the minimum of the demands placed upon us tax rates will in- crease, There is some satisfaction to be gained in that revaluation and equitable distribution of property tax assessment will in some measure relieve the citizen of the present unfair tax assessment and permit all a fair participation in government cost.
It is needless for me to call attention to the fact that you as Councillors and I as Mayor have very little direct con- trol of municipal expenditures. Rather than being handled by "Home Rule" many moneys must be spent to meet legal requirements that have been made law by our Legislature at the State House. The legislature has placed school departments largely beyond our con- trol, by accepting Acts, such as pay for holidays, salaries of cer- tain municipal employees, increase of pensions, all committed to the city responsibility -- expenditures must be made. Hence, we can no longer control the purse strings in such matters.
9
We must come to the point where we accept these require- ments and refrain from comment regarding higher cost, or we must in the future consider well what burdens we impose on the taxpayer when acceptance is made of any such act born on Beacon Hill.
Taxes are for spending and spending for honor and good actions. Therefore, extraordinary expense must be limited by the worth of the occasion.
I think we can feel our past expenditures have been for honor and have resulted in good actions -- such as the new addition to our sewer system, satisfying the demands of people in the North At- kinson Street area and further by making more attractive the land in the Low Street section.
Our equipment in the several departments has been maintained at a high degree of efficiency or replaced by units giving greater and more sure service to our community. Such good action should be continued and a definite program of repair, maintenance and replacement placed in effect.
The City will soon face the need for extraordinary ex-
penditure or face the disaster of accumulative neglect in our Water Department. Pumping equipment has become inadequate for today's demands, miles of time-worn pipe are precariously serving our water users, are relied upon for fire protection, and these same mains of the last century are forced to carry water to newly developed areas.
I believe the present condition of the Water Department was caused by the fact that there were three kinds of people serving the community, namely, the Wills, the Won'ts and the Can'ts. The first accomplish everything -- and of these we had very few, the second are opposed to everything, and the third fail in everything. Of the Latter two, Newburyport has had, in the past, too many.
I consider at this point, spurred on by the present situation, if we would not be wise to bring into being a Department of Public Works, staffed by competent engineers and personnel. Such a Department would encompass the Highway, Park and Water Departments. Before taking such a step, we must of course carefully analyze , pro- ject the value into the future, we must ask "would such a Department tend toward Honorable spending with resultant good action?"
Today, I do not have specific recommendations. Later, I hope we can better predict. I am well aware that an extrordinary expenditure will be required soon or will be brought upon us sudden- ly by failure of pipe or machinery. How will the situation be re- solved? Increase of water rates helps out a little -- yet, by and large our individual water costs do not compare with charges made in other communities. And much as we regret his unfortunate accident, we are forced to point out that costs because of injury to Mr. Cote could have accomplished much in the Rehabilitation of the watersystem.
As to the future of our City industrially. Employment gives health, sobriety and morals. Constant employment and fair- paid labor produce in a city like ours general prosperity, contentment, and cheerfulness. In our endeavor to expand our sources of employ- ment, we must of necessity expand our number of industries. We, for that purpose, established an Industrial Development Commission, just one year ago. Its work since its inception has not been spectacular but it has been steady in progress. The efforts of this Commission have brought forth the intentions of one industry ready to come to Newburyport. Private purchase of land has been made possible by the investing of private money, and plans have been developed for
10
an Industrial Park that will house ten small industries.
This infant commission has worked hard and spent little money to attain a firm foundation for expanding industry. Private money must be attracted and private investors encouraged to invest speculatively in the construction of commercial buildings. It is the commission's opinion that by providing the building the easier part of the project will be the bringing of industry into the park.
As now constituted, the commission, composed of diligent men, is coming into maturity, and to compete successfully with rival communities must employ a full time serious and energetic director, I believe this to be a considered act and well within the needs of the commission. These plans of the Development Commission must be activated. This is a fact we must deal with in the immediate future, and I request that much thought be given to the subject by your Honorable body.
To add emphasis to the need for additional industry, may I quote the following:
If you have great talents, industry will improve them; if moderate abilities, industry will supply their deficiencies. Nothing is denied to well directed labor; nothing is ever to be attained without it.
There are may subjects that could be incorporated into this talk to you and our citizens. Time, however, does not permit. Hence, it would be wise to acknowledge its limitations.
This municipality is a community of people, following the instincts of nature's pattern, banded together for common good, and as I wish to everyone a Happy and Prosperous New Year, it is my hope that by dis charging our duty thoroughly and well, subordinating personal desires to principle and personal ambition to the duties of office, we will receive not only the endorsement of the people but, what is far better, we will deserve that endorsement.
