Foreword
It is my conviction that a city will be a much better city in propor- tion to the understanding by its citizens of its operation and the activities and facilities carried on and made available for the civic welfare. An annual city report can be the means of providing such knowledge only if it is read. For this reason it has been decided this year to make a departure from the form in which Quincy's city reports have been pub- lished heretofore and to publish them in a condensed and illustrated edition, with much material of technical and special nature omitted and without duplication of statistical details. I hope you will enjoy this new type of city report and find it interesting and informative.
We have passed through a year of war and many thousands of our men and women have been serving in the armed forces throughout the world. Hundreds of our citizens have devoted themselves to local war needs of civilian defense, rationing, aids at the Quincy Hospital and all the other requirements of a City during war. Despite a curtailment of available man power, every city department has labored cheerfully and tirelessly to render the best available municipal service. We can be justly proud of our record during this past year.
With the cooperation of the members of the City Council it has been possible for us to accomplish needed public improvements and achieve an excellent tax rate and a splendid net debt reduction. Your City is in a very fine financial condition and we will continue to maintain and improve that condition in order that we may meet any post war demands.
It is the determination of your city government to remain prepared for any contingencies of the future, to maintain and improve every function of the city government and to welcome home to a financially sound city the returning veterans of this world conflict. I desire to express my extreme gratitude for the splendid cooperation which I have received from every board, department head, members of the council and all citizens who have devoted themselves to the welfare of the city and the united war effort which we have maintained.

HIGHWAYS
The activities of the Highway Department were greatly curtailed owing to war conditions. The maintenance work was carried on by a depleted force with restricted materials; however, sidewalks were laid and curbings reset wherever necessary. The only streets resur- faced were Fenno Street, Rice and Nevada Roads.
Other maintenance included street oiling, maintenance of drains, pumping out of cellars, re- pairing bridges, fences, brooks and street signs. The work and expense caused by the hurricane of Septem- ber 14th were assumed by the Highway Department.
The Department constructed a foundation for the Community
War Memorial erected at Sea Street and Manet avenue. Community memoriał parks were also estab- lished and flagpoles erected on Standish Avenue, Wollaston and Curlew Road, Adams Shore; Lib- erty Park on Tabor Street is not yet finished.
STREET LIGHTING
Since the termination of the blackout precautions we have gradually reconnected street lamps until street illumination is practi- cally back to normal throughout the city. Governmental restrictions have been removed so that we have been able to install some new lamps. More illumination has been added in the Fore River section as a result of emergency engineering survey. On account of dangerous conditions reported, lamps of higher voltage have been installed and conditions corrected.
COMPLETED PROJECTS
Foster Street widening was prac- tically completed.
The trolley station erected on the Tupper Island site was finished and the total cost paid by the Eastern Massachusetts Street Rail- way Company.

SANITARY DEPARTMENT
The collections of garbage and rubbish were very irregular owing to the shortage of labor and during the heavy storms the service was discontinued and the trucks were equipped with blades for snow plowing. The conditions follow- ing the hurricane greatly affected the efficiency of this Department. The transaction for the sale of gar- bage to the South Shore farmers is shown in the report of the City Treasurer. Our present facilities for the dumping of rubbish are located on Quarry Street but we are anticipating additional acreage off Palmer Street, Adams Shore, where the city owns a large tract of land.
FORESTRY
In addition to the regular win- ter and spring work in connection with the gypsy moth control we took care of the trees damaged by the force of the hurricane which was very heavy along the shore area, especially in Squantum and Hough's Neck. About one hun- dred and seventy-five privately owned trees were destroyed. More
trimming and the removal of bro- ken stumps will be necessary.
We did some landscape garden- ing in the Hancock Cemetery, planting a large bed of hybrid rhododendrons on the southerly side and flowering trees and shrubs throughout the grounds. We also installed the lettering on the Han- cock street side.
In addition to the maintenance of the city street parks, we supplied the flowering plants for the beau- tification of the Community Me- morial Park at the junction of North and South Bayfield Roads off the boulevard at North Quincy. We also planted a new flower bed on Sims Road at the request of the commander of the Hingham Ma- rine Base at Hingham Arsenal. We laid out a raised flower bed with the letters "U. S. M. C." opposite their barracks.
Completing our spraying pro- gram we used six tons of arsenate of lead, filling orders for private property, spraying the street trees and areas infested with Japanese beetles. Our trucks were serviced for snow duty and were used for plowing during the severe storms.

There were 534 burials during 1944 and six removals. Full ac- countings of receipts, expenditures, also of perpetual care and other trust funds, will be found in the reports of the Auditor and City Treasurer. It may be stated that the Cemetery Department is almost self-supporting, the receipts for 1944 being $57,448.23 and the ex- penses $58,645.12.
In the Mount Wollaston Ceme- tery during 1944 approximately one-half acre of land was graded and marked out in lots and graves. Four hundred sunken graves were filled in and about five miles of streets graded and tarred. The damage done by the hurricane of September 14th was considerable, both in Mount Wollaston and the Hancock Cemeteries. The trees and shrubs were blown down and much rubbish accumulated. All has been removed and replaced with flowering shrubs and new grass seed sown where necessary. Both cemeteries are in excellent shape and a credit to the city.

MAINTENANCE
During the past year all baseball and softball fields, football grid- irons, tennis courts, parks, play- grounds and beaches were put in condition during the spring months and maintained for the sea- son. Skating rinks and ponds were
serviced and maintained through- out the city. The Maintenance De- partment under Foreman Harry Boyd, and a skilled personnel, cov- ered every phase of our work which included grading, seeding, carpen- try, landscaping, masonry, con- struction and forestry.
ADDITIONS
In the past year, we have had two additions to our Department. One is a small piece of property at the intersection of North and South Bayfield road which was purchased by the Council. It was graded and seeded, shrubs were planted and a flag pole erected, as a memorial to the men and women of this area who have answered their country's call to service. This park was named the "Irving B.

Patten Park." A permanent memo- rial will be erected at a later date. The other addition was the erec- tion of the new waiting room at the junction of Coddington Street and Washington Street, also to be maintained by the Park Depart- ment. We also had returned to our control the various pieces of park property which were under lease to the U. S. Army, including the Fore River Club, which has been reconditioned and is again being used extensively.
PLAYGROUNDS
Under the direction of Mr. Wil- liam Bowyer, Playground Super- visor, and Mr. Laroy Rogers, As- sistant Supervisor, our playground season, which ended with a field day, was a complete success.
Playground instructors this year benefited through the training pro- gram arranged and conducted by the Community Recreational Serv- ice of Boston, Mr. S. H. Frieswyck, Director.
Subjects presented were musical activities, games and folk dances and specialties. An outline of a daily program was presented by Mr. Bowyer.
Attendance at all playgrounds was higher than last year and a widely diversified program was of- fered. Besides the athletics super- vised by Mr. Rogers, story telling, handicraft, plaster of paris novel- ties, folk dancing, clubs, campcraft, community singing and other activ- ities were offered.
The usual field day was held winding up the season's program with a bigger percentage of partici- pants and a larger audience than any other year. Baseball, track and horseshoe finals were a feature and the arts and crafts exhibit arranged under the supervision of Miss Ilda DiMascio was unusually attractive and received much praise. Defense stamps were given as awards.
The Lieutenant Irving B. Patten Park was constructed by the Park Depart- ment in May, 1944 and dedicated on June 4, 1944, to the memory of Lieutenant Patten who gave his life for his country in the war with Germany on October 1, 1943. Lieutenant Patten was graduated from Quincy High School, class of 1935.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Two recommendations which the Board made in 1943 were car- ried to completion this year. In March the City Council accepted and passed the plan recommended by the Board for the extension of Mount Wollaston Cemetery; and in September the Council accepted an eighty-foot roadway on the southerly side of the police station from the Southern Artery to the remaining portion of the Broad
Meadows which the Board feels will eventually be used for indus- trial sites.
The proposed development on the easterly side of Hancock street was not approved by the Council. It is the unanimous opinion of the Board that the fulfilling of these plans would greatly increase prop- erty values and open up a new dis- trict for business, and it is our in- tention to again propose this devel- opment with the thought in mind of a post-war project and for post- war prosperity for the City.
The Board discussed possible lo- cations for a new City Hall and worked in conjunction with the Veterans' Memorial Committee. At their request four locations were submitted without indicating any preference. The sites recommended were the "apex site" bounded by Hancock, Washington, Codding- ton Streets and Faxon Avenue; Coddington School; the area be- tween the Woodward Institute and Whitney Road: and the Rendez- vous, opposite the Municipal Sta- dium on Hancock Street.
