INAUGURAL ADDRESS BY MAYOR CHARLES A. ROSS MONDAY, JANUARY 2, 1933
Gentlemen of the City Council and Fellow Citizens of Quincy :
In assuming the duties of the office of Mayor of the City of Quincy, I am not unmindful of the tremendous task and important responsibilities that are mine. This community, like others every- where in our Nation, is passing through the gravest economic period in history. National, state and municipal governments are confronted with problems and responsibilities which require the keenest foresight and courageous, energetic leadership. We, who have been elected to positions of responsibility in our City, are entering into office, I know, with the loyalty and good wishes of the entire citizen body.
The situation in which we, as a city, find ourselves is sufficiently grave. The problems which confront us at this time are more important and more serious than ever before in our history. They should not, however, discourage us in the slightest but rather serve as a challenge and be met with a firm and steadfast determination to solve them in the best way possible. We should abandon all thought of further spending of money for municipal luxuries. We must confine ourselves to the necessities which the efficient opera- tion and normal progress of our city require. We must at the very beginning of our administration commit ourselves to a pro- gram of rigid economy.
We should reduce the cost of operation of our City Government, and I believe this can be done. It is my purpose to do everything possible to reduce the budget and it is for you and your committee to carefully scrutinize every item in order to assist.
The taxpayers of our City are demanding relief from the tre- mendous burdens which have been placed upon them during the past few years. Not only has income from property been decreased but our local industries working on part time also make it more difficult for the taxpayers to meet their tax obligations.
In common with conditions in general, many of our people are finding themselves without employment and with very little re- serve to fall back on. The best minds dare not predict how long this will continue. Unemployment and distress are all around us and more in evidence than ever before.
The laws of this Commonwealth require and the good of this City necessitates that the Welfare Department shall see that the poor and needy are aided, relieved and employed. Aid should be given only when needed and after careful investigation. Each head of a family aided on account of unemployment is required by law to do such work as he is able to perform in return for the assist- ance given him. Only those physically unable are exempted from work. The average citizen seeking aid, I believe, desires to give something in return and so maintain his self respect, thus promot- ing good citizenship.
I believe that some constructive program should be outlined in an effort to give needed employment and at the same time a fair return for the money expended, and this responsibility shall rest with those in charge. No worthy family should be denied such aid and none will be. The cost of maintaining public relief has be- come great and difficult conditions are naturally reflected in the

expenditures of the Welfare Department, but wise administration will be combined with humane principles.
The City Hospital is a very important institution; its affairs must be conducted in a proper manner, and it must be maintained on a par with the best institutions of its kind. In order that this may be done, I shall place its entire affairs in the hands of a new Board of Managers and they shall be held responsible for its man- agement and its maintenance of proper standards.
The health of our people is of vital importance and no doubt efficient supervision is necessary in our clinic work and public health service. Politics should not be allowed to interfere in any way.
I believe those responsible for the administration of our schools recognize the indisputable facts concerning the financial situation of the City. I am anticipating the hearty cooperation of our school officials to plan the school administration for the ensuing year and request that they always keep in mind the necessity of relieving our tax burden. A reduction in school expenditures, without im- pairing the efficiency of our schools, is not impossible. Ever mindful of maintaining Quincy's high standing for many years in the Edu- cational World, I shall expect every member of this department to cooperate with me in this respect. I believe the Mayor should be eliminated from the School Committee through necessary legislation, giving the voters the privilege of electing the seventh member of that Committee to take his place.
It is necessary and essential that you, gentlemen of the Council, be as conversant with the statistics from the City Auditor's office as the Mayor. I propose, after careful investigation as to char- acter and ability, to submit to the City Council the names of three competent persons, one of whom you will select as the City Auditor and I, in turn, will appoint that person with instructions to attend your meetings and keep you advised so that you may function in the best interest of the City. I shall not take advantage of the technicality in the City Charter which gives the Mayor the sole power in making this particular appointment. I believe this is the kind of cooperation by the Mayor with the City Council which the citizens desire and expect. As a matter of fact. there is now pend- ing in the Legislature, a petition to change the City Charter so that you gentlemen shall have the sole power of appointing the City Auditor, and I am absolutely in favor of said petition.
The officials' salaries including the Mayor's shall be readjusted. I believe you gentlemen of the Council are in a position to decide whether a readjustment in your salaries is necessary under the present conditions. I am sure the salaries of the City employees can be readjusted satisfactorily because of their willingness to co- operate and to that end the Mayor desires suggestions from that body of employees at an early date.
It is absolutely necessary that we have a business administra- tion. As Mayor, I am the Chief Executive of the City and com- petent men and women will be appointed to executive positions and placed in charge of departments. My duty will be to assist and advise them in their work. They in turn will have full charge of their departments but they and their employees will be held to strict account for the proper performance of their duties. Coop- eration for the best interest of the City is essential at all times.
At the present time it is impossible for me to give you a com- plete financial statement regarding the condition of the City, but I will forward it to you as soon as possible. I intend to have an audit by the State as quickly as arrangements can be made.

INAUGURAL ADDRESS
There are several other departments, including the Public Safety Departments, Assessors' Department and Department of Public Works about which I shall make a number of recommendations to you in the near future for the purpose of improving their efficiency.
The duties of the Mayor and City Council are clearly defined by our Charter. While they are separate and distinct, I believe that it is absolutely necessary that we have hearty cooperation and the assistance of each other. From my personal knowledge of the caliber of the men the people have selected to represent them in your honorable body, I feel certain of that cooperation and assist- ance to the fullest degree.
This is a great period of stress and an honest and eager elec- torate has placed its faith and trust in us.
Relying on your good will I advance with obedience to the work, and may that Infinite Power which rules the destinies of all gov- ernments lead us to what is best, and give us real peace and pros- perity.
In conclusion, I pledge to you gentlemen of the City Council and fellow citizens of Quincy my utmost efforts and sincere coopera- tion. I bid you one and all, a Happy New Year.
