INAUGURAL ADDRESS


INAUGURAL ADDRESS BY MAYOR THOMAS S. BURGIN January 5, 1942


Gentlemen of the Council:


Since Sunday, December 7, 1941, when, without warning, the Japanese attacked the United States at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and following the formal declaration of War by the Congress of the United States on Monday, December 8th, events have hap- pened so rapidly that it has been impossible for me to devote the usual amount of time to the preparation of a mid-term message for you gentlemen.


The country is at war now, not only with Japan but with Ger- many and Italy, and the seriousness of the general situation in Quincy has required a great deal of time and my constant at- tention day and night in organizing civilian defense activities to augment our regular municipal forces for the protection of the lives and property of our citizens and in safe-guarding the health of these people. I feel certain, therefore, that with this in mind, you will understand my inability to prepare a detailed message at this time.


Following the usual custom at these Inauguration exercises, the Mayor presents herewith a resume of our general financial con- dition as of December 31, 1941 so that you members of the City Council may be advised as to:


(1) Our total funded debt.


(2) Our tax title loans to the Commonwealth of Massa- chusetts.


(3) Our borrowing capacity within the debt limit as al- lowed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and


(4) Our anticipated expenditures from both the revenue and non-revenue accounts during the coming year.


Present Financial Condition


As of December 31, 1941, the long-term bonded debt stood at $4,206,500 which is $714,000 lower than what it was on June 30, 1935, shortly after I became Mayor. This represents a decrease of 141/2 per cent. Our water debt is included in this reduction just referred to, and it is gratifying to note that on December 31, 1941, the water debt stood at only $175,000 which is approximately 50% lower than it was in 1935. During the past year, we have authorized the use of a substantial amount of our reserve account in the Water Department for construction work, and it is antici- pated that during the coming year another substantial rate re- duction for water users will be put into effect. By using $75,000 of the reserve account for construction purposes, I do not antici-


6


CITY OF QUINCY


pate any borrowings for water construction during 1942. This now puts us on a "pay as you go" policy in the Water Department.


Our tax title loans to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts now stand at $126,000. Back in 1935, we had outstanding tax title loans of $572,000. Twice since then we have reduced to nothing our bor- rowings of this type of loan and I figure that during the coming year, we should be able to pay off all outstanding tax title loans and have the slate clear with no anticipated borrowings on this type of loan. Our tax collections have steadily improved and with general conditions so much better than they were before, I feel that we should be able to again adopt this policy of financing our year's program through tax collections, general receipts and cer- tain long-term borrowings without any money having to be raised through loans on uncollected taxes upon which the City has re- corded tax liens.


The borrowing capacity (or legalized margin for borrowing within the debt limit) as of December 31, 1941, amounted to $609,- 197.94, which should give us a feeling of financial security if we find it necessary to provide funds for permanent construction.


While it is impossible at this time to outline a definite financial program for the year 1942, due to the uncertainty of the world conditions, I do not anticipate that our borrowings for all pur- poses will be as much as they were in 1941, viz .- $1,096,000.


There should be no loans issued this year for public buildings or new equipment where the City is required to raise the qualify- ing $32,000 from taxation. These two items alone should provide a reduction in our 1942 budget of $64,000. It should be noted that of the $1,096,000. borrowed or authorized last year, $523,000. was for purposes for which we should not have similar borrowings this year, viz .- the public parking area, water construction, new equip- ment, two new fire stations and a tax funding loan of $175,000. to pay a court judgment to the Boston Consolidated Gas Company on its 1935 (and subsequent years) valuation. Our bond maturities in 1942 will amount to $725,500. and I estimate that unless some emergency arises, our total borrowings for the year will not ex- ceed $500,000. On this basis we can show a debt reduction of at least $200,000. which is in line with my general policy of debt re- duction each year. Due to unexpected borrowings in 1941 however, we were not able to adhere to this policy.


It is impossible for me to state what our 1942 budget will amount to as I have not as yet had the time to go over the various esti- mates as submitted by our many city departments. I shall, however, make every effort, even in these difficult times, to make another tax rate reduction in 1942 which will be the seventh successive drop in as many years. Our present rate of $31.20 per thousand dollar valuation is one of the lowest of the thirty nine cities in Massachusetts.


It will not be my purpose to go into detail concerning the vari- ous city departments in this message but I will transmit matters of importance to you from time to time as the occasion arises. We must be prepared for a most strenuous year under war conditions and war regulations. No one can foresee what steps we will be required to take in regard to municipal financing or what re- strictions will be placed upon us. We must meet such problems as they present themselves and act accordingly.

INAUGURAL ADDRESS


SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS


East Howard Street. It is to be regretted that following my recommendation to the City Council of over a year ago that the City widen and rebuild East Howard Street leading to the great Fore River Plant the street still remains as it was-if not worse -- with no sign of money coming from the Federal Government after five months of waiting for approval of project No. 19-120 Mass., Defense Public Works.


Gentlemen, I say to you, as I have repeatedly said to previous City Councils, that in my opinion this work is a direct obligation of the City and should be done by the City forthwith-and with- out further delay. We not only have a direct obligation to the Fore River Plant itself as a tremendous taxpayer but we have one to the thousands of men who use this street every day as they come to work. Do I again need to stress the dangers existing from a fire hazard point of view with this street so crowded with auto- mobiles many times a day that fire apparatus couldn't even at- tempt to get through for periods of over a half hour at a time? We need action-and need it NOW!


I recommend that the City pay for the widening and rebuilding of East Howard Street just as we have done on other streets in the past. We have $40,000. available in a balance from the 1941 street construction loan which could put all our Highway Depart- ment employees to work on this project tomorrow morning getting work started on the widening from Quincy Avenue to DesMoines Road. The remainder of the cost should be our first obligation from the proceeds of the 1942 street construction loan. If we start NOW the widening could be done during the winter months and by spring the street should be ready for surfacing. It is my hope that a member of the Council will introduce an order today authorizing me to proceed immediately with this construction work using the available $40,000 and every employee of the Highway Department we can assign. From information I have received from Washington on our pending application for funds I can offer you no encour- agement whatever that this work will be paid for by the govern- ment.


EMERGENCY BUILDING-QUINCY CITY HOSPITAL


I have spoken on the subject of a fifty bed emergency build- ing at our City Hospital so often during the past year that I hesitate to mention it again. WE MUST MAKE PROVISION for additional bed capacity at the hospital, gentlemen, and if you don't want to do it in the manner recommended by the doctors of our City, the Board of Managers of the hospital and the Mayor, do it the way you think it should be done - BUT DO SOME- THING to relieve the situation as it exists today.


Citizens from every part of our City are demanding that the municipal government take action on the problem at the hospital. I have received many telephone calls and letters from individuals and groups asking what they could do to show the Council how vital the question of providing these emergency beds is to them. They are aroused over the defeat by Council action of the pro- posal to build and equip an emergency fifty bed building. I want it definitely understood that the responsibility for failure to act on this important matter no longer rests upon my shoulders as I


8


CITY OF QUINCY


have done everything within my power and according to my best judgment to produce such a building as has been asked for, in the quickest possible manner.


Gentlemen, I sincerely trust that you will bear this in mind dur- ing the coming year, and especially now that our country is at war :- while we like to receive help in a financial way from the Federal Government on certain projects we must remember that the government is going to tremendous expense to clothe and equip a vast army, to build ships for and maintain a great navy, to protect a great civilian population-should we therefore expect too much when our own municipal financial condition would allow us to pay for some of these needed improvements without impos- ·ing on an already overburdened federal treasury. During the em- ergency let us go without non-essentials and, with pride, try to finance the needed projects in so far as possible without federal help so that funds we might get could be used for direct war purposes.


In closing this short mid-term message may I assure you of my complete cooperation during the year that lies ahead. We have a great responsibility to the people of our City who have entrusted us with the management of their municipal government. Our is an obligation not to be taken lightly. With God's help, may we conduct ourselves in a manner befitting the traditions of the past and with that same help may the leaders of our great nation, un- der our President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, carry us through these dark days of war to ultimate victory in the battle to preserve and maintain the privileges of American Democracy.


Thank you.
