HON. JOHN M. LYNCH Mayor of Somerville


MID-TERM MESSAGE of HON. JOHN M. LYNCH


MAYOR OF SOMERVILLE, MASSACHUSETTS


Monday, January 2, 1939


To the Members of the City Government and Citizens of Somer- ville :-


As your Chief Executive, I extend my sincere wish for a joyful and prosperous New Year.


With the close of the year 1938, the first year of our term of office, it is fitting and proper that we should pause, review the events of the year and look forward to the problems that confront us for the coming year.


One year ago when we assumed office the outlook for the City was indeed a gloomy one.


The credit standing of our City was at a low ebb; some departments were badly in need of reorganization; the city employees were in constant fear of payless pay-days ; in short, our city was faced with the possibility of a State-controlled Finance Commission.


At that time I said that our city was confronted with what I described as a "Financial Monster," and that if we were to endure as a free and independent municipality our first job would have to be to put our financial house in order.

ANNUAL REPORTS


In my inaugural address one year ago I stated that there were four vital points for consideration on which depended the future happiness and welfare of our city.


First, an honest effort would have to be made to reduce the tax rate.


Second, the wages and jobs of city employees would have to be protected.


Third, the problem of sufficiently providing for our less fortunate brothers forced through circumstances to seek public aid would have to be met courageously, and with a sympathetic understanding for all human requirements. At the same time equal consideration would have to be given to the alarming increase in the cost of administering such a program.


Fourth, we would have to keep Somerville as it always has been, a free and independent municipality.


Let us for the moment take cognizance of what has been done relative to the program outlined.


In contrast with the picture of one year ago our credit standing has been definitely and favorably restored and re- established.


This has been brought about in keeping with my inaugural address, by a determined conscientious and straight forward policy of prudent administration of the city's affairs with absolute disregard for political consequences.


First, by a drastic revision in our borrowing program, the total borrowings for the current expenses of the city were reduced from $924,400. in 1937 to $692,000. in 1938 or a re- duction of $232,400. I might add that with the exception of $30,000. borrowed for snow removal purposes-the entire bor- rowing in 1938 was for relief purposes only.


A second reason for the restoration of our sound financial standing may best be illustrated by a comparison of the tax collection records for the last two years.


The Poll, Personal, and Real Estate Taxes collected for the entire year 1937 amounted to $4,571,860.43 whereas in 1938,


7


MID-TERM MESSAGE


with one day's collection not counted, the Poll, Personal, and Real Estate Taxes collected amounted to $4,828,178.08.


These figures show an increase in collections for the past year over the previous one of a total of $256,317.65.


Likewise our Motor Vehicle Excise Taxes collected have in- creased $10,679.02 over last year with one more day's collection still to be added.


The matter of tax collections is one of the most important functions of any city government and I point with pride to this particular accomplishment.


Together with the efficient system which we have put into operation for obtaining these collections I interpret the in- crease as an indication of confidence by the tax paying public, to whom at this time, I wish to extend my sincere appreciation.


As a result of this enviable record relative to tax collections the interest rates on our tax-anticipation notes have been re- duced a total of fifty-five per cent in the year from 1937 to 1938.


I report to the people with pride that in keeping with my inaugural promise I have reduced the expenditures of the city over a quarter of a million dollars for the year 1938 as com- pared with 1937.


Thus you will see our financial house has been put in order.


In the year 1938 the city employees were not subjected to a wage cut, were not asked for a voluntary contribution, and there was not one single payless pay-day.


The result of honest and efficient management of the city's affairs was the removal of fear from the hearts and minds of city employees and the reassurance to them that their jobs and wages were safe and secure.


The matter of properly and adequately providing for our relief program has been met courageously and I can report that progress has been made relative to a solution of this perplexing problem.


As promised in my inaugural address I called into confer- ence a group of representative public spirited citizens-who are,


8


ANNUAL REPORTS


at the present time, studying the methods of operation of the welfare department and will shortly report their findings together with their suggestions, which will immediately be made available to the public.


With relation to the Welfare Department I repeat at this time what I said a year ago, that I shall insist upon fair and humane treatment of welfare, soldiers' relief, and old age as- sistance recipients, and will provide adequately for them, but at the same time, aware of the alarming increase in the cost of administering relief I shall not coddle or encourage unworthy people who are known to be illegally receiving public aid.


I have done my utmost to make the W. P. A. program most beneficial both to the city in return for its expenditures and to the W. P. A. workers whose constant and continued employ- ment I have successfully maintained.


At this time I wish to point out with relation to the W. P. A. that during the past year the number of workers employed on the W. P. A. has increased from 1700 in 1937, to 3,300 at the present time.


As the result of this increase in the number of persons employed it would have been necessary to appropriate more money to carry on the W. P. A. than was spent in 1937, but as the result of careful economy and cooperation of department heads, the W. P. A. authorities, and the Board of Aldermen, we were able to keep twice as many citizens employed in 1938 as there were in 1937 and this at a cost of over a quarter of a million dollars less than what was expended in 1937.


This in my opinion is real economy and a real accomplish- ment.


We have received a grant of $250,000. from the Federal Government for the construction of a Municipal Stadium at Dilboy Field. This project will employ five hundred men for a year and will give to the City of Somerville the athletic plant which is so sorely needed and desired.


With it universally agreed that one of our most important governmental functions is the physical development of school children and the teaching of the fundamentals of sportsman-


9


MID-TERM MESSAGE


ship I sincerely hope that the coming year will see the begin- ning of the construction of this Municipal Stadium.


I wish to extend my appreciation to the W. P. A. authorities for their whole-hearted cooperation and to the persons em- ployed on the W. P. A., I respectfully solicit their continued cooperation and ask them to consider that by the proper man- agement of the W. P. A. in Somerville their continued employ- ment is made possible.


This year for the first time since Somerville has been a City we were able to secure financial aid from the State and County for the reconstruction of our main highways.


Under this arrangement which is provided for in Chapter 90 of the General Laws, Mystic Avenue from the Boston line to Austin Street, and Broadway from the Boston line to New Cross Street, were re-constructed the roadway widened five feet and a high type pavement placed there.


The cost of this work to the city was only twenty-five per cent of the total cost. The State paid one-half-and the County the remaining one quarter.


In 1939 we plan to continue this work and re-construct Washington Street and College Avenue.


In 1938 the City of Somerville received a P. W. A. grant from the Federal Government amounting to $31,126. to defray forty-five per cent of the cost of re-constructing eleven streets in the city. This work is to be done under the supervision and approval of the Federal Government and the City Engineer.


In my inaugural address I proposed a plan whereby materi- als purchased by the city should be inspected by a reliable testing engineer. I am pleased to report at this time that dur- ing the past year this work has been carried on and that the results of this work have justified the insignificant expense entailed. By such a practice the City has been protected and assured that first, all materials furnished were of first quality and complied with the specifications in every respect.


Second, the amount of materials ordered has actually been delivered and only that amount paid for by the city. Therefore


10


ANNUAL REPORTS


the practice of some dealers to deliver inferior materials and incomplete amounts to the city has been discouraged.


An inspection of the records in the Auditor's Office will show that the price on all purchases made by the city for the past year were made at considerably less than in previous years.


The Legislature during the past year was sufficiently satis- fied with the conduct of the affairs of this city as to refuse to entertain the proposal of a State controlled Finance Commis- sion in Somerville.


From State Officials, elective and appointive likewise, have come words of praise for the conduct of the affairs of the city during the past year.


The total result for the year shows our financial house has been put in order.


Our departments are functioning efficiently and economi- cally.


Our relief requirements have been abundantly met with all due regard for the comfort and welfare of those legitimately in need.


Our tax rate for the first time in years has been reduced.


A general summary of the conduct of the City's affairs during the past year will conclusively show that all fear has been removed and confidence has been restored.


In passing may I call your attention to the fact that on September 21st of this year we were visited by the most severe storm in history. The memories of the recent hurricane are too fresh in your minds for me to recall them; you all know the destruction wrought throughout this city. As a result of this hurricane a tremendous financial burden has been placed upon the city which must be paid during the coming year. An even greater saving will have to be affected to make up for the cost of this unexpected disaster.


As far as is within my ability to determine with the effect of prudent, efficient, and economical administration of the City's


11


MID-TERM MESSAGE


affairs we have enjoyed a successful year and can look forward optimistically to the coming year.


However there are well founded rumors and indications that from outside the city, because of reasons beyond our con- trol, the unexpected burdens imposed upon us by the State may offset all the good we have accomplished here in Somerville.


As I said in my inaugural address one year ago, the ex- penditures of a city are divided into two classes, "controllable and uncontrollable."


By "uncontrollable" expenditures I mean such items as the maturing portion of our funded debt, temporary outstanding loans, interest charges, wages, State and County taxes, the assessment for the Boston Elevated deficit, and other charges of similar nature which under no circumstances can be affected by our economy.


To our amazement we find these "uncontrollable" expendi- tures-total 80% of our annual outlay.


Therefore with only 20% of the annual outlay over which we have direct control, we have shown a distinct and marked improvement for the past year, and without fear of contra- diction or criticism I submit that my administration for the first year has been a "job well done."


Unless we have imposed upon us, unlooked for, unexpected, and unwarranted burdens from the State in the form of an excessive State Tax over which the Legislature has direct con- trol, our outlook for the coming year is a pleasant one.


It is the duty of the Legislature to see to it that no such burden is placed upon this or any other city in the Common- wealth.


The responsibility for a State Tax is theirs and must be met by them and I trust that their responsibility will be met cour- ageously and wisely for the best interest of all the people.


In closing may I extend my appreciation to the members of the Board of Aldermen, the School Committee, Department


12


ANNUAL REPORTS


Heads, city employees, W. P. A. workers, and all the citizens who have cooperated with me in making the previous year a successful one and I invite their continued cooperation that the year 1939 may be even more successful.
