PREFACE
The purpose of this Annual Report is to show the citizens of Quincy how their municipal government was operated with their tax dollars in 1959 by their elected officials. It is told in words, figures and pictures; simple enough to be easily understood and yet comprehensive enough to give a complete story.
With the costs of operating city government increasing faster than the earnings of the citizens who support it, the problem of elected officials is becoming an increasingly difficult one. Their wisest course of action is for them to make a well considered compromise between what the citizens want in municipal service and what they can afford to pay for; and, in pursuance of this course, to effect economies through the abatement of waste and the step-up of efficiency with due regards to the rights of city employes.
This is what the mayor, the city council and the school committee - chosen by the people of Quincy in free elections in the American way - have tried to do this year.

THE MAYOR'S 1959 ADDRESS
Members of the City Council:
As we complete the first year of the re-accepted Plan A form of government, I should like to express my gratitude to the members of the city government and to all the city employees, for the service rendered the people of Quincy during 1958.
To all of you I pledge my assistance and cooperation in endeavoring to solve the many problems that will confront us.
On behalf of the citizens of Quincy, I once again express gratitude for the invaluable services rendered by our many unpaid boards and committees that give so unselfishly of their time and abilities.
Last year, due to an act passed by the Massachusetts Legislature and accepted by the Quincy City Council, the supervision of our city cemeteries was transferred from the Department of Public Words to a Board of Managers of Public Burial Places. The following were appointed: Gordon D. Carr, chairman; Robert L. Blair, secretary; Angelo P. Bizzozero, John J. Mahoney, James J. Ricciuti, Gordon S. Troupe and James J. Coady, ex officio.
I wish to thank them for their willingness to serve. It is hoped that the board will be successful in reduc- ing the annual cemetery deficit as well as planning for future expansion of our burial places.
I express my appreciation to the members of the civilian defense groups for their keen interest, their alertness, and willingness to keep themselves in readi- ness for any emergency.
To the business men, the Quincy Patriot Ledger, Radio Station WJDA and all other agencies who have the best interests of our community at heart, I say, thank you.
To organized labor and to Mr. John Wipfler, official labor representative to the mayor, for his inter- est and help in ironing out mutual problems, I express my sincere thanks.
The citizens of Quincy can well be proud of the many large and small business firms located within our borders and the many capable men and women in their employ.
To the people of Quincy in general, I say thank you, and I know that we will strive to fulfill the confi- dence and trust that has been placed in us.
The United States, although the wealthiest country in the world, is still unable, apparently, to raise enough money in taxes to pay its current governmental costs. Our federal deficit this year is expected to be about 12 billion dollars - considerably more than the total expenditures of the federal government 20 years ago.
The total federal debt amounts to 280 billion dol-
lars. This amounts to a fantastic $6,250 for every American family.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts will need in new taxes, at least 90 million dollars just to keep going. Any new spending will boost the 90 million dollar figure that much more.
A large portion of the above amount is needed to balance the present state budget.
The state must raise twenty million dollars to meet the cost of the Barrington pay classification plan for state employees.
When pay increases were approved no new revenue was provided to establish firmly the salary increases that were recommended, which proves that you cannot grant increases without raising taxes.
Just for the sake of comparison, the City of Quincy not only did balance last year's budget but completcd the year with a surplus.
The bonded indebtedness of the City of Quincy now stands at $13,270,000. This includes $6,036,000 for schools; $1,918,000 for sewer construction; $1,561,- 000 for street construction; $2,100,000 for hospital con- struction; $788,000 for parking areas; $637,000 for other buildings (including health center, fire station and veterans housing); $230,000 for all others, includ- ing the $145,000 water department debt.
At present there is authorized a loan in the amount of $200,000 for the addition to the Quincy Hospital which would make our total debt $13,470,000.
The anticipated income against our present debt is as follows:
From the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for
School construction $1,388,280
Street and sewer Betterments 500,000
Parking meter receipts ($25,000)
per year or until the last bond is
retired in 1971 325,000
Rents veterans housing
(West Acres) 180,000
Water 145,000
Making a total of $2,538,280
During the year 1959 we will retire $1,241,000 of the above debt which has accumulated over the past years, so that our debt as of the end of this year will be $12,229,000.
I am not unmindful of the fact that during the year I anticipate that our normal construction program of public works will involve further borrowings. Inas-

much as our school building program is nearing com- pletion, it is my definite desire to bring about a reduc- tion in the annual burden of debt service to our tax- payers.
The bonded indebtedness of the City of Quincy on January Ist, 1958 was $11,916,000 plus the author- ized loan of $1,750,000 for the addition to the Quincy Hospital or a total debt on January 1st, 1958 for bonds already issued or authorized of $13,666,000 against the present debt on January Ist, 1959 of $13,270,000 which is $396,000 lower than a year ago.
In my inaugural address last year, I predicted a reduction of $400,000.
Our present borrowing capacity within the debt limit:
Aggregate net valuation - 3 preceding years
$528,113,270.
Average valuation - 3 preceding years 176,037,756. Debt limit - 5% thereof 8,801,886.
Gross outstanding debt inside debt limit 7,307,000.
Authorized but not issued to date
(Hospital addition) 200,000.
Net borrowing capacity - January 1st, 1959 $ 1,294,886.
This will increase during the year when the valua- tions change and as we retire part of the debt inside the limit.
Authorized and borrowed by the 1958 Mayor and City Council for:
Street construction
$ 350,000.
Sewers and drains 250,000.
Parking land (Norfolk Downs & Wollaston) 150,000.
Total $ 750,000.
Amount retired in 1958:
Inside the debt limit
$ 723,000.
Outside the debt limit
423,000.
Total $1,146,000.
Today marks the completion of the seventieth year of the existence of city government in Quincy. I think we may for a moment stop to think of what seventy years has meant in the life of the community. This span of years is not, either in the life of man or in the measure of time in a community, of much importance.
In comparison with the ancient history of old world cities, our American communities are extremely youth- ful. The metropolitan community of all New Eng-
land can only boast of little more than one hundred and thirty years as organized city governments.
Quincy, organized as a town in 1792, experienced in the intervening ninety-seven years of town govern- ment all the hardships of a typical Massachusetts town. When, however, its town form of government became too cumbersome to adequately give service to the people, a change was made to a less democratic but more representative method of government. During the years which have elapsed since 1889, extraordinary changes have taken place in the city. The whole character of the town has in a measure changed, and what was the placid New England country town gave way to the life and habits of a highly developed indus- trial city.
Perhaps nothing better demonstrates the remark- able changes that have taken place in Quincy since the inception of the first city government than the cost of that initial government and the net cost of the city government in 1958. In 1889 the whole cost of the government was $343,486.34, while the budget of last year was more than $17,000,000. The popula- tion in 1889 was 14,900 and the estimated population in the present year is 85,000, or six times what it was when Quincy became a city. The valuation of the city in the first year was $12,319,245 and the valua- tion in 1958 was more than $172,000,000. The ex- penditures for all school purposes in 1889 were $60,- 505.14 while the expenditures last year exceeded $5,346,678.
These comparisons tell the story of Quincy's prog- ress. Occasionally many of us object at the high prices which we must pay for living in a progressive community. Most of us upon reflection are willing to concede that these costs are only in keeping with what we demand and receive from the city govern- ment.
Quincy has no reason to regret the money spent for the many fine public improvements which we have enjoyed in the last few years, and I deem it to be the sense of the community that this progressive policy shall be maintained.
Now, if you will permit me, I should like to refer to some of the accomplishments of the past year.
During the past year, the City of Quincy has en- gaged in a very extensive and comprehensive program.
Ground was broken on March 24th for the $2,242,- 000 addition to the Quincy Hospital. Under the Hill-Burton Act the City of Quincy will receive $250,- 000 from the Federal Government to help pay the cost to construct this addition.
The Atlantic Junior High School being constructed
City of Quincy

at a cost of a little under $2,000,000 should be com- pleted early this year.
The City Council provided funds to purchase new equipment, construction of sea walls, purchase of land for parking areas in Wollaston and Norfolk Downs, resurfacing, construction and re-construction of streets, sidewalks, curbing, sewers, drains, water mains, enlarging the doors at the Atlantic Fire Station, parking areas at the Quincy Hospital and many other capital improvements.
To itemize some of our accomplishments let me quote the following and the cost of each:
Sidewalks $54,332.85
Curbing work (under contract) 27,066.85
Curbing work (by city forces)
2,154.86
Street resurfacing
118,373.97
Street construction
162,094.27
Water main construction 89,171.31
Sewer and drain construction
197,087.09
Additional payments on work done on streets in 1958 that were started in 1957 52,743.07
Total $703,024.06
This work includes 51 sidewalk projects, 9 curbing projects, 62 streets resurfaced, 12 streets accepted in 1957 and constructed in 1958, 24 water main installa- tions or a total of 8710 feet; 46 drain projects and 14 sewer main jobs.
During the past 11 years Quincy has spent over $105,000 fighting the disease that has been taking its toll from from the city's elms.
Last year, Quincy spent over $20,000 in Dutch Elm Disease, the total available in the budget. The forestry department estimates there are several hun- dred more affected trees in Quincy.
Thousands of dollars were also expended to resur- face streets at the Mount Wollaston Cemetery and for the installation of street, traffic lights and signs.
The Southern Artery was completed last year. The widening and reconstruction of Adams Street is now in process.
The collection of garbage and the installation of curbing was let out on contract.
A bill has been filed with the Massachusetts Gen- eral Court permitting the City of Quincy to pay $6,000 in advance to the New Haven Railroad for the temporary track work necessary before the New- port Avenue underpass can be constructed.
The city also acquired the Craig and McCausland properties to enlarge and enhance the land area adjacent to the Adams birthplaces.
As interesting as the past may be, we should look to the future.
The widening of Canal Street and Revere Road will be completed this year.
I recommend to the City Council that it accept the offer of the Quincy Electric Company to purchase land at Broad Meadows where a huge generating plant, costing between 30 and 55 millions of dollars, will be built.
Quincy has only a limited amount of desirable prop- erty for industrial development, and the erection of the above generating plant and also a similar installa- tion by the Boston Edison Company at the former Squantum Naval Air Station offer the best possible use of these two areas to provide maximum tax relief for the home owner.
I recommend that the Mayor and the members of the City Council give serious consideration to com- pleting the municipal parking areas acquired in the Norfolk Downs and Wollaston business districts.
Funds must also be made available if we are to con- struct the many new streets accepted as public ways by the city last year.
Also, if we are to continue the program of replace- ment and extending sewer mains, water mains, surface drains, resurfacing of streets, sea walls, sidewalks and curbing installation.
I have been informed that funds are available in our street construction bond issue to build Wendall Avenue (you may recall that the construction of Wen- dall Avenue at an estimated cost of $26,000 accepted as a public way in April 1957 has been held in abey- ance pending the completion of the so-called Sunny Creek drain). A contract in the amount of $135,000 was awarded to the Old Colony Construction Com- pany to start this drain project. Additional funds will be necessary to complete this work.
I have also been informed that the street bond account will have a balance of $14,000.
Serious thoughts should be given to the proposal (now before the City Council) to the construction of the underpasses at Whitwell and Granite Streets as recommended by the Planning Board. Chapter 90 funds may be available for part of this work.
The continuance of passenger service on the Old
Annual Report
9
Colony Branch of the New Haven Railroad will also be a serious matter for consideration.
The Shawmut Trail, the Midtown Highway and the Quarry Street Extension will no doubt be con- sidered by the City and the State Department of Public Works.
Estimates should be forthcoming on collection of rubbish by contract.
If the figures submitted suggest a substantial sav- ings to the City, I shall in all likelihood recommend favorable action by the members of the City Council.
May I take a few more moments of your time to summarize several additional improvements that are worthy of study during the coming months.
1. There is the matter of an incinerator.
2. There is the problem of a modern and up-to-date city hall.
3. The construction of the Rock Island Causeway.
In spite of what I have outlined in my address, pre- liminary estimates of this year's budget, including the $200,000 necessary to pay Quincy's share to the Old Colony Railroad, increased debt services, increased state and county taxes, and an increased school budget, already indicate an increase in the tax rate.
No community can continue indefinitely if its ex- penditures exceed its means. The bitter realities of inflation afford little promise of immediate tax relief.
In the meantime, your local government will dedi- cate itself to spending your money wisely and judici- ously.
As for myself, I pledge to work and to cooperate with you for continued success and if we all work together, I am sure that we shall meet and I hope will solve the many problems that confront us.
Finally, may I take this opportunity to extend to you and to all our citizens the very best wishes for a Happy and Prosperous New Year!
God bless you and thank you for your kind atten- tion.
