HON. LESLIE E. KNOX Mayor of Somerville


INAUGURAL ADDRESS of HON. LESLIE E. KNOX MAYOR OF SOMERVILLE, MASSACHUSETTS


To the Honorable, the Board of Aldermen and School Committee.


Gentlemen :


Since 1872 mayors and aldermen of Somerville, honored with the confidence of its citizens, have entered upon the duties of administration with ceremonies similar to these being en- acted today. Each inauguration has been a solemn occasion, but different times bring different tasks, and the responsibility which we are now undertaking is second to none assumed by any administration since the city was incorporated. During the economic depression many of our citizens have been forced to look directly to the government for their daily bread, and though we hope this unhappy condition is passing we know that it still prevails. We know also that taxation has risen to such a point that business is hard pressed to meet assessments, and property owners, to an appalling extent, have already lost title to their family homes.


On my own part, I approach this problem with humility and a sense of solemn obligation, yet confident that policies may be defined which, if adopted and faithfully executed, will en- able the City of Somerville to feed the hungry, provide shelter for the homeless, and ultimately lighten the burden of taxation which rests so heavily on those of our people who are yet striving under difficult conditions to earn a living and main- tain themselves and their families.


Elected on a non-partisan basis, I propose to be a non- partisan mayor. I shall expect of all departments, and this includes heads of departments as well as all others on the city payroll, courteous, honest and efficient service. Politics must be banished from city business, and waste of money and time


4


ANNUAL REPORTS


will no longer be tolerated. Full value will be demanded for every dollar expended.


The regular city employees in many instances in the past have been subjected to unfair coercion, espionage and petty persecution at the expense of a few favorites. My message to them is that I will not expect anything from them except atten- tion to their duties, efficiency and courtesy. On the whole the great majority of our city employees are performing the duties for which they are paid and would be pleased to give their entire energy for the good of the city instead of being tossed from pillar to post by political task masters. I say to the city employees that they will not be hampered in their work and that the department officials shall conduct their departments for the general welfare of all the citizens.


Until audits are made in the various departments I, at this time, do not know the exact financial status of the city, but I know that there remains to be paid, provided they have been incurred legally, many thousands of dollars of unpaid bills. At a later date when these figures are made available I shall notify the citizens through the press.


Sound finance and capable management can produce satis- factory results, and may I especially emphasize the necessity of cooperation between the executive and legislative branches of the city government. Differences of opinion will inevitably arise, but if we are all determined to advance the greatest good of all our people, to set aside personal prejudices, and eliminate special privileges, we can surely reach an agreement on every question. I have definite ideas of how we may best serve and I will submit them to you from time to time without reserve. We have been chosen by the voters of Somerville to administer their government. They have honored us in their choice ; let us wholeheartedly devote our thought and efforts to their safety, comfort and happiness.


The work relief program which has been in such a chaotic condition is a very vital subject for our consideration. If the reports in the newspapers are correct, there has been gross in- efficiency in the planning and supervising of this work in our city, which has resulted in severe hardship to the vast number of our worthy citizens engaged on these projects. It is my intention to recommend the immediate appropriation of the necessary funds for the purchase of the materials required to put to work the full quota allowed by the Federal Government, and to set up the necessary Planning and Supervisory units to


5


INAUGURAL ADDRESS


economically administer these projects. I hereby declare that in the administration of this work I shall absolutely demand that all of the workers on relief rolls be free from political pressure and favoritism and that every man and woman shall receive equally fair treatment.


While I cannot over-emphasize the importance at this time of meeting the necessities of those in genuine need, and the balancing problem of easing the burden on the taxpayers, other phases of municipal service are vitally important. Different departments are of paramount importance in various stages of the city's existence. At all times the preservation of order is supremely necessary. The police department, which for weal or woe is often in the public eye, will have my particular atten- tion, because without order, without protection for honest people as they go about their business or rest in their homes, the city cannot prosper. I believe in an adequate, capably of- ficered, well-equipped police force and fire department. Men, women and children look to them for safe and orderly living and place implicit trust in them. Perhaps too little recognition is given their courage and fidelity, and yet lack of discipline and confusion of purposes may make these departments a nest of scandal and a menace to the people. I shall ask of police and firemen only that they do their duty faithfully and fearlessly, and I shall endeavor to preserve their morale by preventing political interference and by not hampering the service with more officers and men than it requires.


The department of health will receive special study, for no city can make a prouder claim than the good health of its people.


The Engineering, Public Buildings, Highway, Water and Sanitary Departments are all in intimate contact with the people, and at the head of each of these and all other depart- ments I intend to name men of character and ability.


By the provisions of our city charter the Mayor and Presi- dent of the Board of Aldermen are members, ex officio, of the school committee, a responsibility in addition to that of pass- ing, in their executive and legislative capacities, on the annual budget for the schools and the erection and maintenance of school buildings. My purpose shall be, as far as my school duties are concerned, to give our children a well-rounded educa- tion under competent teachers, free from political influence, and amid healthful surroundings. But here, as in all other departments, I would be remiss in my duty if I did not watch with apprehension the tendency to increase expense. If taxes


6


ANNUAL REPORTS


are to be reduced without curtailing real service to the people of our city or lowering the standard of education, more efficient methods must be employed, and a sharper distinction made between what is necessary and what is expedient.


The City is facing a great many suits and demands from corporations for tax abatements which will require extensive preparation in order that the City may be properly represented by expert counsel. I intend to furnish all the necessary assist- ance to the City Solicitor in order to protect the rights of the City.


Our task is hard, but the duty is ours and the way is clear. I am deeply grateful to the voters of Somerville for conferring upon me the honor of being Chief Executive of our fair city. I shall walk humbly, but I am encouraged beyond measure by the expressions of confidence and good will from people in every section of the city. To justify this confidence and to be worthy of their trust will be my constant endeavor. May Almighty God give us the courage, strength and determination to serve righteously this noble city; and may we with single- ness of purpose work in harmony to give Somerville progres- sive, efficient government.


During our tenure of office let us endeavor to so conduct the business of the city so that in after years, if the citizens of another day, looking back on our administration, can say that Somerville grew in civic spirit and in strength, that honest men gave honest service, and that the people of the city were better and happier because of our contribution to its govern- ment, can desire no greater reward.
