INAUGURAL ADDRESS of HON. JAMES E. HAGAN MAYOR OF SOMERVILLE, MASSACHUSETTS Monday, January 7, 1935
To the Honorable Board of Aldermen :
Gentlemen :
Sixty-three years ago this time marked the occasion of the inaugural of the first city government of Somerville.
Succeeding years have allowed officers of our city govern- ment to witness many changes in this city. The original popu- lation of 16,000 has now increased to nearly 105,000. The original valuation of $22,000,000. has now increased to $118- 000,000.
The increases both in population and valuation have been a source of gratification to the successive city officers under whose administrations these gratifying changes have occurred.
Tonight, you as members of the Board of Aldermen of this city, meet to carry on the duties you assumed on taking your oath of office one year ago.
The year that has passed has been a source of unusual ex- perience to many of you. Other members of your honorable Board, by reason of additional experience, must have realized how difficult and how trying were many of the unusual condi- tions confronting the citizens of this city.
Your honorable Board as a body must realize that your paramount legislative duty is service to these citizens whose confidence has been placed in you. My responsibility as chief executive of this city is to every human being within the con- fines of the city.
For that reason you should ever keep in mind that mo- tives of personal or political gain, or motives of personal or
4
ANNUAL REPORTS
political prejudice should be subjugated to the interests of the citizens you and I are here to serve.
Therefore, legislative bickerings-legislative inaction-or legislative misapplications eventually reflect on those who have placed so great a trust in us.
Many of these citizens today are dependent entirely on various forms of relief. They are almost destitute of oppor- tunities of independent livelihood. Many others, property own- ers-former citizens of substance-have been pushed to the threshold of desperation by lowered income and increased taxes.
Despite all forms of Federal Relief, employment through- out the country is not increasing. The outlook for immediate improvement in 1935 is questionable. Therefore, I request that every legislative effort possible be made in 1935 to the end that the unfortunate citizens of our city be lifted from their un- enviable position, and that every possible assistance be given to alleviate the load now borne by our overburdened taxpayers.
The year of 1934 with its achievements, with its disap- pointments, with its hopes and with its fears is past and gone. No doubt you, as members of the Board of Aldermen, the legis- lative branch of our government, have experienced many dis- appointments. You must also realize that I, as your chief executive have also felt their sting frequently. Many times better mutual understanding would have prevented disappoint- ments on both sides. It is my sincere wish that 1935 will better this situation.
We have seen 1934 bring to an end a year that has been unduly weighted with economic distress. We have seen our hopes for better business conditions, for increased employment and for lessened welfare burdens shattered.
Thanks to the voluntary employees' contribution fund, together with the great assistance rendered by the ERA, the welfare drain upon our city for 1934 did not reach the colossal proportions anticipated. Without these two factors, however, the city of Somerville would have been faced in 1934 with the largest welfare drain since its incorporation as a city.
The employees of the city of Somerville have been very generous in their response to my request for a decreased con- tribution for 1935. I appreciate their generosity and also ap- preciate more than I can say the confidence implied by their desire to be of assistance to me.

CITY AUDITOR
January 1st, 1934 found the City of Somerville burdened with unpaid bills, greatly in excess of the amount of cash on hand. January 1st, 1935 found a direct reverse of this situation with cash on hand greatly in excess of unpaid bills.
January of 1934 found the City of Somerville borrowing money on short term notes at 534%. January of 1935 finds the last loan negotiated in 1934 at the rate of 70/100ths of 1%. January of 1934 found renewals of short term notes during the previous year of close to two million dollars. January of 1935 finds not one short term note renewed during 1934.
These improvements are the direct result of the interest and co-operation of the taxpayers of the city together with the co-operative acts of your honorable Board.
To successfully carry on the government of this or any other city a very, very close co-operation between the executive and legislative branches of the city government is necessary at all times.
In such trying times as now face us, even greater co-opera- tion is necessary. It is my urgent wish therefore, that the ut- most harmony will prevail in 1935 between these two very closely connected departments.
It is my hope that every act of your Board this year will be inspired by a genuine wholehearted desire to act in the best interests of the citizens of our city. I shall welcome any con- structive criticism in their interests.
Thank you sincerely for the co-operation you have given me during the past year.
Join with me in making 1935 a most successful year for our city and accept my kindest personal wishes to each and everyone of you for a most happy and successful year.
Very truly yours, JAMES E. HAGAN, Mayor
