INAUGURAL ADDRESS
1893.
HON. H. O. FAIRBANKS, Mayor.
MAYOR'S ADDRESS, 1893.
GENTLEMEN OF THE COUNCIL :
The opening of a new year, by virtue of ancient and modern custom, is a season for the extension of cordial good will and friendly greeting, and so today, standing as we do on the tliresh- old of a new municipal year, a pleasant duty devolves upon me of bidding you a cordial welcome as the official representative of the citizens. They for the present year have entrusted to our keeping their interests, and ever mindful of their confidence in us, it is our sacred duty as we accept the many responsibilities, to be actuated with but the one desire-of promoting the welfare and happiness of the people. It will be our duty to give careful and conscientious consideration to the questions brought to us for our judgment, endeavoring always to remember that we today take the oath of office to represent the citizens of Quincy, and not any particular political party or any one section of the city. The welfare of the whole city is placed in our keeping, and to consider wisely, act impartially and decide as our judg- ment dictates is what should be our aim.
The charter under which we are governed differs widely from those of other cities, and as you become familiar with its provisions, you will readily see that the duties of each depart- ment are clearly defined.
12
I believe that the records of the Council will show that a great portion of its time has been taken in considering ques- tions that are not in the province of the Council to debate, and have been finally referred to the executive department, as they should have been at first. I refer particularly to the peti- tions for repairs on the streets, which, by the charter, should be referred to the Commissioner of Public Works, except when the petitions call for specific repairs, such as the change of grade, which can only be done by order of the Council. I believe that if you will study the question, you will come to the conclusion that you can have fewer sessions of the board, and be relieved of much committee work.
I have deemed it my duty to speak of this, not simply be- cause of my own experience, but because throughout the whole . country thinking men are discussing the best form of municipal government, and I am often in receipt of inquiries as regards the workings of both departments. I believe I but voice public sentiment in saying that the Council of '93 can profit by the experiences of the other Councils.
We are well aware that in the last few years of our town form of government many much needed improvements were delayed and referred to the City Government, resulting in an extraordinary demand the past four years for new bridges, new public buildings and improved highways. These demands have been met, and apparently a large debt incurred, as compared with the town debt, but most of the improvements were abso- lutely necessary, and are of the nature of permanent improve- ments, and the city has the property in sight.
Other needed improvements may be called for, and it will be our duty to consider them carefully, bearing, however, in mind that we must guard against extravagance, which would create a heavy tax rate, and the other extreme, which would pre- vent our city being a desirable one to reside in. Care should be
13
taken in ordering specific appropriations, that the loans are so proportioned that the burden of paying for the same will fall equally upon those who are to enjoy the benefits.
FINANCES.
The prosperity of any city depends in a great measure upon the management of its finances, and I would therefore call your attention to the finances of the city.
The expenditures of public moneys for the current expenses of our city are controlled by the provisions of Chapter 312 of the Acts and Resolves of 1885. This chapter limits the appro- priation for city purposes to a sum not exceeding $12 on the thousand of the average valuation for the three preceding years. For other purposes, such as the State and county taxes and sums required by law to be raised on account of the city debt, the assessors are obliged to provide the means; so, while the law limits the amount for current expenses, the tax rate is deter- mined on the valuation of the property upon which the entire amount to be raised is assessed.

Average valuation for three years, $14,406,695; and at $12 per thousand gives $172,880.34, which is the legal limit for current expenses, outside of the requirements previously spoken of.
I am pleased to state that during the past year the appro- priations for the executive department have not been exceeded.
14
It is very desirable to have a low tax rate, but in a rap- idly growing city like Quincy, with its large number of school children, demanding new school buildings every year, and the citizens calling for better streets, it is simply folly to expect such improvements without using the credit of the city, for the $12 on the thousand will not supply the means to us, any more than it does to the other cities.

A total of $287,442.36, of which amount $61,862.36 is due this year. $278,892.36 of the debt is of the nature of perma- nent improvements.
Borrowing capacity of the city is as follows: Average valu- ation for three years, $14,406,695; two and one-half per cent. of which (being the limit by law of municipal indebtedness) is $360,167, leaving a margin of $72,724.64 on January 1, 1893.
The Council authorized a loan of $10,000 for one year to defray the expenses incidental to determining the value of the Water Works, and the same to be transferred to the water loan when made, and as the award will not probably be announced until late in the year, I would recommend that the treasurer be given authority to renew this note, falling due in May, for one year.
As the current expenses of the city commence January 1st, and the citizens do not begin to pay for the benefits they receive until late in the year, the city must necessarily borrow on tem-
16
porary loans to meet the general expenses, pledging for the same, taxes of the year.
It has been held that these loans were not of the same nature as other municipal indebtedness, and were exempt from the two and one-half per cent. limit, because the taxes for the year were a sinking fund to provide for their payment; and as these loans can be authorized by a majority vote of the Council, while it takes two-thirds of all the members to authorize a loan for any other debt, it is claimed that the Legislature did not consider temporary loans a debt; but a strict interpretation of the statute has been rendered by the Attorney General that temporary loans are a part of the debt, and that view must be taken until the Legislature considers the question. The treas- urer had to borrow the past year $162,000 for running expenses until the taxes commenced to come in. The city has $64,000 due in uncollected taxes, and one temporary loan of $40,000 to pay. As the running expenses of the city commence imme- diately, the treasurer must borrow on temporary loans for 1893. The city had to expend in 1892, $3,500 for interest on temporary loans.
WATER SUPPLY.
In 1883 a charter was given to a private corporation under which they had the right to furnish to the citizens a supply of water for domestic and fire' purposes, and during the past few years the question of city ownership of the plant has been dis- cussed. After considering this important question in all its bearings, realizing also that there was in our midst a strong sentiment in favor of again trying for the establishment of new works, I deemed it for the best interests of our city to recom- mend that the question of the purchase of the property and franchise of the private corporation be submitted to the citizens, and on April 30, 1892, by a vote of 1138 to 474, the action of
17
the Council was ratified and confirmed, and the works purchased under the provisions of Chapter 162 of the Acts and Resolves of 1883. Upon me devolved the selection of the counsel to prepare the case on behalf of the city, and I deemed it best to retain R. M. Morse, Esq., James E. Cotter, Esq., and J. W. McAnarney, Esq., to act in that capacity. The following experts were also engaged to furnish the proper information : Messrs. Desmond Fitzgerald, Henry Crafts, J. H. Shedd, A. H. Howland, Percy M. Blake, and others whose names I withhold for the present.
Acting upon the advice of my counsel, an official notice was served upon the directors of the Quincy Water Company, informing them of the purchase by the citizens and requesting a transfer of the property.
The transfer was made June 1, 1892, and the works placed in the charge of the Commissioner of Public Works.
A demand was also made upon the company for the price for which they would convey the works to the city, and failing to agree upon the same, a petition was forwarded to the supreme court asking for the appointment of a commission to determine the value of the works. The commissioners were appointed Nov. 19, 1892, namely :- Hon. John Lowell, Hon. Edmund H. Bennett and Walter Clifford, Esq., who visited Quincy Dec. 3 to examine the property, and assigned as the first hearing February 20, 1893.
Realizing that a settlement as to the price to be paid would not be reached for at least a year, and believing that the urgent call for a supply of water should be heeded, I requested that authority be given to petition the Legislature for an act permit- ting the appointment of a board of water commissioners, and for the means to extend the mains, purify the supply and to provide for the incidental expenses that must be incurred in determining the value of the works, for there was no authority in our charter or in the acts of 1883 to permit the city to make
18
any extensions. The required permission was granted June 13, 1892.
June 15, 1892, I appointed Messrs. H. T. Whitman, John T. Cavanagh and James H. Stetson as the board of water commissioners for the terms respectively of three, two and one years, and they assumed the management of the works June 22. July 13 they requested an appropriation of $25,000 for the purpose of making new extensions, which was granted by the Council Oct. 10, and their report will show the details of their work. The board realizes the need of future extensions to sup- ply the demand for water in a rapidly growing city, and believe that the same should be done when a revenue is gained to the city over the cost of construction. The city has in its posses- sion valuable information as regards all questions pertaining to our water supply, and at a proper time will be communicated to the Council.
SEWERAGE ACT.
I have already stated to the Council that in my judgment the urgent need of a system of sewerage for certain sections of our city called for a careful consideration of this great problem. During the past year a study of the water question brought out the facts that in nearly all cities the expenses of a system of water supply were borne by those who received the benefits, the receipts from consumers making the works self supporting and no extra burdens laid upon the city. The first problem in any city is to furnish the citizens with a bountiful supply of good water, and the next problem is to adopt a plan to get rid of the impure and waste water for the protection of the public health, and in my opinion the same business methods should be adopted in both cases. In supplying water an annual rate is charged to the consumer, and why not carry out the same feature and make an annual charge to those who are to enjoy the benefits of a
19
system of sewerage. Is it not safe to argue that the citizens who are consumers of the city water would also avail themselves of the privilege of disposing of the same by means of the pro- posed system of sewerage and pay an annual rate; and would not others, who still enjoy the benefits of a supply of water from other sources, prefer to make use of the system than to depend upon the unhealthy and unsightly cesspools, and so would not the rentals be larger in this case than the other ?
If a system of water works can be made self supporting, by the same business methods a system of sewerage should be, and the person receiving the improvements paying for the same; and those not benefited should not be burdened by a heavy assessment. The assessment of a portion of the cost as proposed in the legislative act must necessarily be unwise and unjust in many cases, and a hardship in others, making the burden fall upon the present. I hope that the Council will consider the proposition of the city loaning its credit to construct the system ยท 'and charging an annual rate to those who are benefited by it, as well as other questions in regard to the proposed system.
GRADE CROSSINGS.
I recommended in 1892 that the Council should consider the question of abolishing the grade crossings in our city, especially the one on Water street, but no discussion was had upon the subject, and it was referred to the Commissioner of Public Works. This is a specific matter, and should be so considered by the legislative body.
I fully realize that it will be a difficult and an expensive problem to solve, yet, as we are aware that it is a most dan- gerous crossing at the present time, and must become still more so in the future, is it not our sacred duty to consider it ? The Old Colony Railroad Company has one plan to do away with this crossing at grade, but forces one to be made at School street,
20
which would be very objectionable. I have not any definite plan to recommend, but would suggest that during the year a public hearing be given in the Council chamber, and different sugges- tions and plans be received ; after which to employ a competent engineer to study the problem and propose a remedy, acting, per- haps, afterwards in connection with the railroad company, and thus endeavor to arrive at some result.
WARD ROOMS.
The large number of voters in Wards One, Three and Four obliges the city to consider the expediency of dividing these wards into precincts. Under the law governing elections any ward containing eight hundred voters shall be divided ; and as these wards are rapidly approaching the limit, I would recom- mend that the question of establishing precincts in the above wards be considered the present year. It is also the duty of the city to provide suitable places for the citizens to meet and cast their ballots, but as suitable halls are very difficult to obtain, I would also recommend that you consider the advisability of having temporary structures erected, in such precincts as your committee may deem best, to accommodate the citizens.
CIVIL SERVICE.
Believing in the principles of civil service examinations for vacancies that may occur in any department of the public ser- vice requiring experience and knowledge of the duties, I would recommend that authority be given to request the civil service commissioners to include the permanent or regular force of the fire department in the classified service.
WOODWARD FUND.
During the past year plans were prepared by James Murray, architect, for the new educational institution to be erected during
1
21
the present year. The plans meeting with the approval of the board of instruction, were accepted by the board of managers, and it is expected that work on the building will commence early in the spring. The fund now amounts to $292,481.
JOHNSON FUND.
The city holds in trust $2,000, the interest upon the same to be expended annually in charitable purposes.
The reports of the administrative officials, giving the details of the work performed during the past year, will be forwarded to the Council, but I shall refrain from making any special recommendations at the present time, preferring to study their reports and suggestions more carefully, and expressing to you my views in special communications. I would, however, remind you that previous recommendations to the Council that were not acted upon still meet with my approval, and I would call your attention to my communications on the following subjects :
" Adoption of a plan for surface drainage."
" Widening of Coddington street."
" Construction of permanent sidewalks."
" Establishing a board of survey."
"New hose houses in Wards Two and Four."
" Needs of Houghs Neck."
Gentlemen of the Council, today we begin anew the manage- ment of the business interests of the city of Quincy. Grateful for the confidence reposed in us by our fellow-citizens, let us bring to our work the sole incentive of being faithful to the best interests of Quincy, and endeavoring to the best of our abilities to fulfil the trust bestowed upon us by the citizens.
