HON. JOHN M. LYNCH Mayor of Somerrille


ADDRESS


by HON. JOHN M. LYNCH


MAYOR OF SOMERVILLE, MASSACHUSETTS


Monday, January 5, 1942


Mr. President, Members of the Board of Aldermen, Members of the School Committee, the Reverend Clergy and my Fellow Citizens :


As we are on the threshold of another term of office in Somerville I am more than ever conscious of two emotions : one of gratitude to the people of this City for the confidence they have reposed in me, and a consciousness of the grave re- sponsibilities attached to the office of Mayor of Somerville in this trying period, with our Nation at war.


The four years which have elapsed since I first took the oath of office on this platform have been filled with a succes- sion of changes and unforeseen circumstances. Just four years ago the primary concern of those sincerely interested in the welfare of Somerville as an independent community was to guarantee that its corporate existence be continued by steering a course away from the shoals of waste, extravagance and bankruptcy into the safer waters of sound and sensible govern- ment. I am proud to say that vast progress has been made in that regard during my administration in office.


Much could be written and spoken, column upon column of figures could be presented, but there is nothing that can so conclusively demonstrate that Somerville in the past four years has had sensible, prudent government than the fact that the tax rate-the measuring rod of municipal efficiency -- has


6


ANNUAL REPORTS


been reduced from a record high of forty-four dollars and thirty cents per thousand to thirty-nine dollars and ninety cents per thousand, a reduction in my four years of four dol- lars and forty cents per thousand. This reduction was not accomplished by the sacrifice of any municipal service ; it was not accomplished by pay reductions or so-called contributions by employees ; it was not effected by a lowering of relief stand- ards to those of our deserving fellow citizens whom circum- stances have forced to apply for public relief. The reduction in our tax rate was brought about by a continuous and de- termined adherence to the simple policy of spending our money so that maximum value was received for every dollar expended.


The restoration of the credit of Somerville and the strength- ening of its financial structure would be a creditable achieve- ment at any time. We should be even more grateful today that the improved condition of our City makes it the more able to assume the added responsibilities that come to us now as a loyal municipality in a country at war.


Four years ago, war was a subject for historians rather than for those interested in current events ; two years ago the war has engulfed the continent of Europe, but we all hoped that our country would be spared its horrors and terrors; this year actually finds us engaged in a war which now . extends to all parts of the world. During the depression our principal consideration was the necessity of increasing our national in- come, today our sole consideration is the defense and mainte- nance of our national existence.


Of course, the paramount concern of every American today is the successful and expeditious prosecution of the war to victory. Every resource that we possess, every energy and ability that is ours must be devoted to aiding in what has been termed "National Defense," but which henceforth should be called "National Victory." Every man, woman and child in this City, as in every community throughout the Nation, will be called upon and will be willing to make sacrifices in the National Cause. In the front line will be found men called to service in the Army of the Navy, on land, at sea or in the air, and this will be the greatest of all sacrifices. They will leave their homes and their families to go where duty calls, some to make the supreme sacrifice in the defense of our country. One young man of our City has already made that sacrifice.


7


MAYOR'S ADDRESS


There will be sacrifices expected from those who will not be called to serve in the armed forces and to that call the people of this City will give an enthusiastic and whole-hearted response. Somervillians of this generation will respond to the call of their country in the same spirit as did those of past generations.


For the protection of our people at home there has been created a State Committee of Public Safety and also a Local Council for Municipal Defense. The Somerville Council for Municipal Defense has been organized as a part of our City Government and funds have been appropriated for this Council so that it may function efficiently. Under the direction of the Defense Council men and women volunteers are being enlisted and trained for various branches of Civilian Defense work. Every citizen should volunteer for this work and undertake to perform some service.


During this critical time while our minds and hearts are naturally concerned with successful conclusion of the war there must be no relaxation of vigilance in the administration of our local government. In ordinary times efficient local gov- ernment is necessary and desirable; in a time of emergency such as the present it is even more essential that we conduct our local affairs prudently and wisely. The people of Somer- ville are entitled at all times to the best of public service at the lowest possible cost. In the coming years as in the years just passed, I will continue to provide efficient and courteous administration of every essential municipal service without waste or extravagance.


In the years just ahead we will be faced with serious finan- cial problems, more serious than any time in our history. We all realize that the expense of conducting a war will inevitably cause drastically increased taxation by the Federal Govern- ment. Furthermore, the unusual conditions created by the war will result in increased expenditures by the City and by the Commonwealth and at the same time result in a decrease in revenues received by the State from various sources. The increased Federal taxes will reduce State income tax collec- tions. The restrictions on the use of automobiles by the pub- lic will mean lowered receipts from the gasoline tax. The result of these reduced revenues by the State will be an in- creased State Tax to be assessed upon every city and town in the Commonwealth.


S


ANNUAL REPORTS


The cost of necessary materials and supplies purchased in every department of the City will be higher during the coming years. The cost of Civilian Defense is unpredictable and this is an item which has heretofore never appeared in the budget of our City.


These are our problems. They are serious. Our worth is gauged by our ability to meet difficulties and overcome them. With the confidence and cooperation of all of the people we will carry through to ultimate and glorious victory. I pledge to you my fellow citizens my energy and ability to "carry on." I ask the cooperation of the members of the Board of Alder- men and the School Committee. I ask the continued coopera- tion of all city employees. With these, and the cooperation and the confidence of all the citizens of Somerville, in spite of the unprecedented problems we face, we shall continue the progress we have made and we shall continue the "Forward March" of municipal improvement.


My fellow citizens, as your Mayor, I face the future with confidence.


In Somerville, we will continue the progress of the past four years.


Our country under the inspired leadership of our Com- mander-in-Chief and with Divine Guidance will march on to victory and peace.


Respectfully submitted, JOHN M. LYNCH, Mayor.
