INAUGURAL ADDRESS


DELIVERED BY


Mayor Zebedee E. Cliff


MONDAY, JANUARY 5, 1914


Gentlemen of the Board of Aldermen :-


Again in accordance with a time-honored custom we gather for the purpose of taking our several oaths of office and to then assume, as servants of the people, all the great cares and solemn responsibilities of conducting the affairs of our beloved city.


We are privileged to be the first city government to be in- augurated in this beautiful auditorium. A large common meet- ing place of this kind has long been needed, and its value to high school life and for general municipal purposes will be more and more appreciated as time goes on.


The duty of governing the municipality we now assume, and we must be faithful and true to our citizens who honored us by their suffrage.


Never before in the history of our city have the business men, plain, honest and practical people, the bed rock of the municipality, taken so much interest in public questions vital to their interests, comfort and prosperity.


The earnest, progressive citizen of today is not content in municipal affairs to blindly follow partisan leadership, but he is thinking for himself. Letus, then, as far as possible, ignore party affiliations, as we are, and should always be, a city govern- ment of and for all the people.


Your hearty co-operation with the mayor is necessary to a successful performance of our duties, and be assured that the mayor will co-operate with you in anything and in everything that will tend to the advancement of the people's welfare and happiness.


The expenditure and safeguarding of the citizens' money is a sacred trust ; economy must prevail, and this without in any way crippling any of our departments.

unimproved real estate suitable for building purposes. By compelling such land to pay its rightful proportion, we not only equalize taxation, but we induce the building of more taxable property.


It is my intention to take up with the boards of trade the matter of bringing new industries into our city, as well as many other matters which will further our commercial success. These boards are wisely conducted and earnest in their work, and I shall be only too glad to co-operate with them in their efforts for the advancement and prosperity of our city.


City Charter.


There will undoubtedly be introduced in the legislature the present year, as in every year, one or more proposed amend- ments to the charter. These should receive your careful atten- tion. Any such amendments as will help to better the adminis- tration of city affairs should receive our hearty support, but amendments introduced without good reason, and simply as an experiment in municipal government, should be strenuously opposed. Let us sink all political differences and personal prejudice in our consideration of such measures, and strive to obtain for our city the best possible form of government.


It seems to me that we have too frequent elections, and that the annual change in administrations does not tend to a settled policy in municipal affairs. I would recommend that the charter be so amended as to provide for biennial elections.


Planning Board.


Somerville, in common with other cities of the state, has added to her government a new body known as the planning board. This board, which is appointed in compliance with a legislative act of last year, is required to make careful studies of the resources, possibilities and needs of the city, particularly with respect to conditions which may be injurious to the public health or otherwise injurious in and about rented dwellings, and to make plans for the development of the municipality, with special reference to the proper housing of its people. The board is required to make an annual report to the city council, giving in- formation regarding the condition of the city, and any plans or proposals for development, and estimates of the cost thereof. It is the apparent intent of the law that the board shall act, to a


MAYOR'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS.


certain extent, in harmony with the homestead commission of the commonwealth, which was created in 1911.


This board is permitted a wide latitude in its studies, and it should proceed with the greatest deliberation in reaching its conclusions.


Workmen's Compensation Acts.


At the last city election the voters accepted the act to pro- vide for compensating laborers, workmen and mechanics for in- juries sustained in public employment. This means that in the future the liability of the city for injuries in public employment will be the same as provided in the statutes relating to em- ployees in ordinary business, known as the Workmen's Compen- sation Acts. In private business the employer generally in- sures, but in municipal business the expense of insurance would be a considerable item. We should carefully estimate, to the best of our ability, basing our estimate upon the municipal ex- perience of the past, the probable cost to the city upon an in- suring or non-insuring basis. We have for years eliminated the insurance cost in the maintenance of our public buildings, and the wisdom of the practice has been demonstrated, but fire risks to buildings, separated by wide 'areas, and accidental risks to our employees hardly furnish a basis of comparison as to the economy in insurance. This matter of provision for liability is one that should be given most careful consideration.


Fire Districts.


I desire to bring to your attention the need of fire districts, which I have advocated for years. I believe a beginning should be made, at an early date, in establishing such districts where the danger from fire seems greatest.


Streets.


Never more than at the present time have good roads been demanded. With the advent of heavy auto trucks and in- creased traffic everywhere, we must keep up with our neighbors in meeting this demand. Methods of construction have reached an advanced stage. Highland avenue and the recently- constructed Tufts street are commendable examples of good road work. No matter how good the original construction, constant supervision is necessary. Immediate repairs of worn surfaces will go far in keeping our roads in proper condition.


8


ANNUAL REPORTS.


The cry for clean streets is universal. We all hear it, but not enough heed it. With a little more care we can make our city a model in this respect.


Grade Crossings.


The construction work of the abolition of grade crossings was placed by the decree of the court in charge of the Boston & Maine Railroad. At Somerville avenue, Medford street, Webster avenue and Dane street, during the last five years, the work of construction has been substantially completed. By statute law the duty is placed upon the city of taking charge of claims and actions for damages to estates caused by the change of grade of public ways. The city solicitor informs me that there were about 175 such claims. Up to the present time more than 125 claims have been adjusted by agreement with owners of estates, and only three actions in court have been brought to trial.


Street Railways.


The public service commission of the commonwealth, act- ing under chapter 402 of the Acts of 1907, on December 23 granted authority to the Boston Elevated Railway Com- pany to act as a common carrier of baggage and freight in this city. Under this law the company is subject to such regula- tions and restrictions as may from time to time be made by the local authorities, subject to the approval of the com- missioners, and in the grant of the commission it is ex- pressly provided that the exercise of the authority shall not in any way interfere with the conduct of the passenger service. The people of Somerville are among the largest patrons of this corporation and are entitled to the best service that can be given. If it appears that the carrying of baggage and freight interferes with the proper carrying on of passenger transporta- tion, the city government should take immediate action to im- pose further restrictions.


High School.


For several years the high school has been administered under trying conditions on account of the lack of sufficient seat- . ing accommodations. These conditions have been overcome by the recent construction of additions to the buildings and a re-


9


MAYOR'S INAUGURAL


ADDRESS.


arrangement of the various rooms. The entire school is now enabled to return to a single session and to normal conditions.


The improved conditions and the opportunity which is thus given for the school to put into effect its plans for instruction and study seem to be greatly appreciated by all who are inter- ested in the educational affairs of the city. This auditorium fur- nishes an opportunity for the gathering of the entire school and faculty at one time. These gatherings are sure to develop a better school spirit, and will in other directions be beneficial to the school activities.


I believe that a system of water service and hydrants should be constructed in connection with the buildings on Cen- tral Hill park. These buildings are not protected by fire in- surance, and the comparatively small amount of money necessary for this equipment would safeguard property valued at more than $500,000.


Public Library.


The new library building on this hill has been recently finished and dedicated. This was completed within the appro- priation, and the trustees' estimates for this year's maintenance in the new structure are the same as for last year in the old. Economy will be possible because of better grouping of the parts of the service. This building is one of the best public buildings in the city, both from an architectural and a practical point of view. In its construction and equipment, careful atten- tion has been given to all matters of detail, and I congratulate our citizens on possessing today one of the best library build- ings in the commonwealth.


City Hall Annex.


Some disposition should be made at once of this building, as it not only detracts from the architectural beauty of the new library, but, in its present location, spoils the artistic effect of the whole park. I am somewhat surprised that provision has not already been made to carry out the original intention, which I have understood was definitely agreed upon, to remove this building on or before the completion of the new one. The in- terior of the old library building can be remodeled at small ex- pense to furnish accommodations for departments now quartered in the 'annex, but there should certainly be provided quarters for the Grand Army no less comfortable than they now


10


ANNUAL REPORTS.


have. If your board decides that the building should be re- moved to another location, the present quarters can be main- tained; if you decide that the building should be torn down, suitable provision should be made in the old library building. Let us not go backward in honoring our veterans. Governor Guild, in his oration at the unveiling of the noble monument which stands on this beautiful hill, said :-


"From the days when on Prospect Hill the first flag of the united colonies, the stars and crosses, was hoisted by Israel Put- nam at the siege of Boston, Somerville has been nobly worthy of Middlesex and Massachusetts. In the great struggle that decided that slavery was to end, the long roll of service shows that this city was represented not in the Fifth nor in the Thirty -. ninth alone, but that it shared, through one representative or another, in well-nigh every achievement by Massachusetts for the Union, afloat or ashore."


Somerville Hospital.


I am very glad to renew the annual recommendation that the usual sum of $5,000 be appropriated for the work of this admirable institution. My only regret is that the city is not financially able to do much more, as I consider this one of the most needed and valuable institutions in our city.


No=license.


The attitude of our city in the matter of the sale of intoxi- cating liquor is one in which we take great pride. The vote at the last city election was particularly gratifying, the majority for no-license being the largest in our history.


I desire to acknowledge the courteous response of the various heads of departments to my requests for information. I have refrained at this time from making any statement of the work of departments, as I wish to acquaint myself more thoroughly with the details of their management. For the same reason, I have refrained from commendation or criticism. I enter the office of mayor under obligation to no man to do other than my duty as mayor. As I stated many times during the late campaign, both in public and in private, I intend to get down to bed rock and know just what is being done in all departments. It is my purpose, if I find that any department is not properly conducted, to correct the wrong, and if proper

business methods are not in use, to endeavor to install them.


I believe that every honest man in public life welcomes fair, decent criticism, but the spirit of fault-finding with city govern- ments of today, generally without reason, has a bad influence in any community. A "booster" is better than a "knocker." If the members of the city government feel that they have the con- fidence and support of the people, they will do better work.


To you, members of the board of aldermen, I have just a word to say in closing. I have served in the board of aldermen and know the value to the city of hearty co-operation between the legislative and executive branches. I pledge you mine, and earnestly ask for yours. Do not let us for one moment forget that we are the servants of the people. We are the creatures of the moment, selected by our citizens to honorably and man- fully conduct the city's affairs for the current year. Let us so live our official lives that at the end of our term of office it may be said that we have faithfully and conscientiously exerted our best efforts for the welfare, comfort and happiness of all the people. Our duty is a sacred one.
