Che Mayor's Message
(Extracts from the inaugural address of Mayor Amelio Della Chiesa delivered January 6, 1964)
Bonded indebtedness now stands at $11,145,000 - a reduction in one year of $461,000.
Bonded indebtedness includes: - schools, $4,276,000; hospital, $2,465,000; sewers, $1,978,000; streets, $1,038,000; parking areas, $716,000; other buildings - includes health center, fire station, library, veterans housing and public works buildings, $602,000; water, $70,000, total, $11,145,000.00.
During 1964, we will retire $1,136,000.00 debt as of the end of 1964 will be $10,009,000.00.
I am not unmindful of the fact that I anticipate the usual borrowing for public works during the year.
Borrowing capacity as of December 10, 1963, amounted to $2,449,586 less authorized but not issued $1,440,000 for the construction of a city-owned incinerator and $170,000 to complete the hospital addition, leaving a net borrowing capacity as of December 10, 1963 of $839,586.
This will increase during 1964 as valuation change and debt is retired.
Several weeks ago, I was asked to list what I felt were the most pressing needs of our com- munity now and in the near future. At that time, I mentioned incineration, the Blue Hills cemetery addition, the $3,600,000.00 technical high school. The 1964 tax rate and the question of finding suitable land for investors who want to build here.
Early last year, the City Council took a progressive step when it approved the taking and loan orders for both the expansion in off-street parking facilities and the opening up of the traffic bottleneck at the easterly end of Granite Street at the northerly approach to the Mayor Charles A. Ross parking area. Already this action of the part of our city government is producing noticeable results.
The Adams building is presently being renovated into a modern office building. This quarter of a million dollar project includes the creation of up-to-date offices, stores and an attractive lobby and elevator service.
Architects are not engaged in preparing plans for modernizing the Central Building, next to the Hancock Cemetery.
The Norfolk County Trust Company plans renovating the exterior of its building facing the new parking area which will include a walkup service unit.
What was once the Lincoln Stores has been purchased by Clark and Smith, Incorporated, and will, after extensive renovations, be leased out for merchandising and offices.
I submit, that all of these improvements and others to follow, would just not take place if our city had not assumed the initiative in providing the additional parking facilities in this particular area.
This project, when completed, will be an asset to our business district and will more than prove its worth as a progressive step inkeeping with the serious-minded and far-sighted people in the past who had the vision to start Quincy's off-street parking program that has played such an

important part in the city's development and which, incidentally, is singled out by communities all over the commonwealth as an outstanding example of good planning and far-sighted thinking on the part of our city government.
Last year, at the time, I reported that the State Department of Public Works had approved the construction of the last link of the Quarry Street extension as a Chapter 90 project.
I am happy to report to you, that this project is now nearly completed and I am sure that you will agree that it is a job well done and a credit to our city and to all those who were engaged in its construction.
The completion of this extension emphasizes the necessity of widening the roadway under the bridge at Granite Street, if we are to maintain a steady flow of traffic along this newly completed thoroughfare.
Incidentally, your public works commissioner, Mr. Herbert, and I appeared before county and state officials on December 10, 1963, seeking approval as a Chapter 90 project the widening of Granite Street between Hancock Street and Upland Road and the replacement of the present bridge with a larger one.
The estimated cost of this project is $235, 000 and as you know, if approved, the city, county and state will share the cost.
The subject of incineration has been the source of so much discussion that it is hardly worth the time to reiterate what is already known to most of our citizens.
However, let me review briefly the chain of events relative to incineration and the reasons leading up to the present impasse.
In January, 1961, I announced a $3,000,000.00 capital outlay plan that included nearly $1,500,000.00 for construction of a municipally owned incinerator.
The council at that time approved this expenditure by an 8 to 1 vote.
In keeping with a most comprehensive report made by a committee of this body and following the recommendations of this group to the letter, your Mayor proceeded to take the necessary steps to make the proposal a reality.
Immediately, our hands were tied because of opposition registered not only by residents in the general vicinity where this incinerator was to be erected but by a court decree as well.
This particular site, incidentally, was selected as the most appropriate by not only the mayor, the special committee of the city council, the health commissioner, but by the consulting engineers - all of whom made a profound study of the entire problem including location.
As a representative in the General Court, I introduced legislation giving the Hardwick Quarry area notwithstanding pending litigation.
This measure, as you know, was defeated in the Senate. Subsequent and alternative offers as to ways and means and proposed locations met with similar opposition by groups living in or near- by other designated sites.
Let me say, here and now, that there isn't anyone in the City of Quincy that is any more eager to resolve this problem than your mayor. Once, all of the obstacles that I have briefly outlined are cleared, I will proceed with the utmost dispatch to give our people this long-needed and long- overdue facility.
- CITY OF QUINCY

However, just as true as we are sitting here, I dare to predict that any site chosen by the mayor, council and health commissioner will meet with opposition by groups of citizens living in that area.
Perhaps this would be the place to quote our late President - "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."
Several weeks ago I asked favorable action of the city council on the creation of a develop- ment and industrial commission in Quincy.
This commission will serve as a co-ordinating agency for all groups that are endeavoring to bring new business into our city.
Under the act, the city would create a non-salaried group of up to 15 members appointed by the mayor.
This commission could advertise, make surveys and studies and spend a limited amount of money in an effort to bring new industry to the city. During the past several months, we have ob- served the result of co-operative action on the part of our city government with several business enterprises on Granite Street.
The Jewel Tea Company and the Grossman interests are presently engaged in erecting what should prove to be a valuable job and tax producing project that will compare with the finest shop- ping areas of this kind in the South Shore.
The mayor's office has been approached by several well-known business enterprises seeking information relative to locating in our community.
In nearly every instance the subject of suitable land areas seems to be of utmost concern. Councilor LaRaia and his committee are to be commended for their interest in this entire project and have already accomplished much in organizing and meeting with every prospective developer and investor in our city and all that it has to offer.
The sale of Bethlehem Steel Company's Quincy shipyard to General Dynamics Corporation should be welcome news to the entire area. The Electric Boat division of General Dynamics Corporation stated that it hopes its Quincy yard will start operations in the very near future and that the yard will be so successful that the employment level there will increase substantially. Electric Boat said the Fore River Shipyard will become the Quincy Yard of the Electric Boat division and not a separate division of General Dynamics.
This company is determined to make the newly acquired expansion a real two-fisted, profi- table organization.
We, in Quincy, are proud to welcome General Dynamics and will do everything in our power to co-operate and assist General Dynamics in their period of re-location and re-adjustment.
Those of us who have watched the employment level at the Fore River Yard drop from some 13,000 to less than 2,000 during the past several years look with hopeful anticipation that this move on the part of General Dynamics will serve as the very impetus needed to revitalize not only Quincy but many of the surrounding towns in our immediate vicinity.
Several weeks ago, at the request of the school committee I filed permissive legislation in the state legislature that will allow the City of Quincy to build a proposed technical high school on what is commonly referred to as Faxon Field. This land which lies adjacent to the high school and opposite the Y.M.C.A. was given to the cityby the late Henry M. Faxon, for recreational purposes.
Before this land can be used as a school site, the approval of the Faxon Family and heirs, of the mayor and city council and of the park and recreation commission must be obtained.
ANNUAL REPORT
ยท 9
The purpose of this bill is primarily toprotect the interests of the city if this land is deemed suitable and meets all the requirements just outlined.
The time has definitely arrived when Quincy must consider erecting a new vocational tech- nical school. School committee members are unanimous in their agreement that a vocational tech- nical school in Quincy is definitely needed.
Mr. Daly, Quincy trade school director, estimates that between 16 and 20 acres of land will be required for the school. The land in question contains approximately 20 acres.
Full athletic and recreational facilities will be included in plans for the building in keeping with the wishes of the Faxon Family.
Mr. Daly has outlined to the school committee a list of expected expenses and reimburse- ments for the new building which may cost as much as 3.6 million dollars.
The cost of educating a pupil in Quincy High School in 1962 was $514 - while in the Trade School, the cost was $498 - a difference of $16.
In general, assuming that the new vocational school would house 1,000 pupils, the savings per pupil as opposed to the smaller school could very readily be $102., mainly because of more efficient operation.
If 750 pupils transfer from regular high school to the new school, there would be a saving per pupil of $118 a year - the $102 saving because of added efficiency plus the $16.00 saving that now exists between the two types of schools.
Federal and state assistance for the school and site improvement would amount to about forty percent.
If the new school costs 3.6 million dollars, state aid would pay for about 1.4 million dollars, leaving a balance of 2.2 million dollars to be raised by taxation.
We hope that when this fine addition to our school system is completed, it will be named in honor of and in memory of William A. Bradford, former mayor of Quincy and one of its most highly respected citizens. Mr. Bradford, a master craftsman in his own right, knew the value and im- portance of skillfully trained workmen.
His interest in this project was uppermost in his mind.
No finer tribute could be paid Mr. Bradford for his dedicated service than to honor him in this way.
The Faxon Family, too, must be remembered for their fine spirit of generosity and civic interest in making this splendid addition to our school system possible.
Plans to build a one hundred bed nursing home in Quincy Center involving an investment of over a half-million dollars were outlined by officials of the Sixty Company before the members of the city council recently.
I trust that the members of the city council and the public in general will look with favor upon this enterprise.
It represents not only a means of providing accommodations and care for many of our elderly citizens at a cost more in keeping with their ability to pay, but will tend to ease the terrific strain on our hospital that is now compelled to accept many patients who might be housed in homes of this type at considerable savings to themselves and their families.
- CITY OF QUINCY

A study of the plans of this nursing home indicate a building of architectural beauty that will be a credit to our city.
During 1962, the City of Quincy was granted permission by the Massachusetts General Court to acquire some 42 acres of Metropolitan District Commission land in the Blue Hills for cemetery purposes.
When the site is transferred to the City of Quincy, it will be necessary to prepare a master plan that will take into consideration all basic cemetery factors necessary for its development. This plan will show all details necessary for a contractor to do the actual field work such as grad- ing, drainage, roads and water lines.
When this work has been accomplished, the next step will be the preparation of plans that will show the actual location of lots that are to be sold.
With proper management, there is every reason to believe that acquisition of this area will not only bring added revenue into our city but will serve the burial needs of our people for the next fifty years.
Your government hopes to award the contract for the initial phase of this work just as soon as the deed transferring this land to the City of Quincy is received from the Metropolitan District Commissioners.
