MID-TERM ADDRESS of MAYOR G. EDWARD BRADLEY OF SOMERVILLE


JANUARY 6, 1947


The communities of Massachusetts stand at the brink of disaster. The real estate owners of all these communities are confronted with an increased cost of government which can spell for them the actual confiscation of their property. Somer- ville-our city-is not one of the few fortunate exceptions.


All of the facts which we now have available indicate that the average home owner will pay this year as his proportional share of the cost of his municipal government, at least $45.00 more than he paid in 1946. Increased state, county and other assessments which can be anticipated, but not at the present time definite, may raise this figure to $10.00 to $15.00 more.


This is the approach, our bleak approach to the year 1947.


This is a fact which must be stated bluntly. It is a fact that cannot be escaped by any act of ours. It is a condition which we could not have prevented, and which we cannot evade, so long as archaic tax laws compel the owners of real estate to shoulder the greatest part of the cost of municipal government and a large part of the cost of state government.


Increased wages for city employees, and for the employees of the school department have expanded our salary accounts by approximately $700,000. Mounting costs of old age assist- ance, aid to dependent children, and soldiers' aid and pensions

ANNUAL REPORTS


will account for $150,000. more which we must provide in 1947 above our expenditures of last year. These items alone, based on our present real estate and personal property valuation, rep- resent an increased cost to each property owner of $7.20 per thousand.


We have little to offset these necessary increases in the cost of government.


The consolidation of various departments could be effected, but would result in no substantial savings, and might lead to inefficiency. A solution does not lie in the discharge of em- ployees, particularly with several departments undermanned as they are today. Nor could we curtail even one function of our municipal system provided by any city department. Neither is the city exempt from moral responsibility to pro- vide for its employees a wage consistent with the duties they perform and sufficient to meet their living expenses.


Beyond these already established increases in the cost of government is the obvious necessity of renewing the equipment in several departments,-specifically, sanitary, sewer and high- way -; the construction of several new school buildings; and costly modernization work in other school buildings. To ac- complish this, real co-operation must exist between both the executive and the legislative branches of government.


And by real co-operation, I do not mean such procrasti- nated consideration and ultimate rejection of executive recom- mendations as characterized 1946. when a definite program which provided for the purchase of an entire new fleet of san- itary trucks, for new snow fighting, snow removal and street cleaning equipment, for essential fire apparatus, and for the resurfacing of approximately 40 streets was allowed to die by your honorable board despite the obvious fact that the elimina- tion of truck hire in the sanitary and highway departments. and the cost of repairing 15-year-old trucks would have saved our city over $100,000. annually above the cost of the new equip- nient. This lack of foresight and unreasonable opposition must be eliminated if we are to progress. I welcome sincere and honorable opposition: I do not claim infallibility or perfec- tion, but I do raise my voice against the evasive device of bury- ing executive recommendations in committee where they can receive neither consideration, support nor open and construc-

MAYOR'S ADDRESS


tive criticism from the entire membership of the aldermanic board.


To those members who, during the past year, have endeav- ored sincerely to improve their community, who have co-oper- ated to the end that Somerville might be a better city, I want to express my personal gratitude, and the thanks of all of the people of Somerville.


We must provide for essential requirements, despite the fact, that the required expenditure may be reflected in an additional tax burden upon only one group of our citizens- the property owners.


We face a situation made to order for the carping critics and the demagogue, but a situation that cannot be remedied under existing laws, by this or any other community of our entire commonwealth.


The cost of government is increasing, and cannot be sub- stantially reduced. This is a fact generally recognized and in- disputable. The complexities of modern civilization constantly demand more in the way of services and protection from govern- ment, and these additional requirements must be paid for.


The situation in our school system differs only in degree from that of every school system in our commonwealth and nation. Despite the apparent attempt by a few to build polit- ical implications in present differences between the school committee and the city government, these do not exist. We do not contemplate usurping any of the powers of the school committee. We recognize their authority in the field of educa- tion. We wonder why the per capita cost of education in Som- erville should be so much greater than that of comparable com- munities, but we are cognizant of the fact that, under exist- ing laws, they are supreme in their own domain.


I am not in conflict with them in their opinion that teach- ers are underpaid, no more than I was in conflict with other city employees. I did not agree that the increases granted should have been as great as they were in some instances. and I want to pay particular tribute to those School Committee members, Vice-Chairman William J. Shea of Ward 5, Joseph J. Galvin of Ward 3, and last year's Aldermanic President,


S


ANNUAL REPORTS


James F. Hall, who, with thought for the taxpayers as well. as for the teachers, opposed the excessively high increases granted by the majority.


The School Committee, under the law, has supreme author- ity to spend as it sees fit. I believe, however, that it should be. willing to assume that responsibility publicly, and should not hesitate to acquaint each property owner with the cost of edu- cation. It can accomplish this by requesting legislative ap- proval of an act authorizing it to send out separate tax bills to each taxpayer for the cost of education. If that bill is filed by the School Committee, I will support it.


I am pleased to see that the State Federation of Teachers in their recent communication to the legislature, have carried out recommendations that I made to Somerville's teachers when I advised them to find sources of additional revenue to provide for increased salaries.


The plight of the property owner-the fellow who foots the bills-can be best illustrated with a concrete example.


Twenty years ago the owner of a $10,000. two-family house received as income $1,200. annually and paid in taxes $280.00 or 23%. In 1947 his income will approximate $840 .- $360. less -and his taxes will amount to approximately $400. or 47% of income. This is equivalent to confiscation or destruction.


The Joint Legislative Committee of the Massachusetts Mayor's and Selectmen's Association-of which I am a member -has formulated a program for presentation to the Legisla- ture, under which $20,000,000. would be distributed to the various communities of the commonwealth, and the unjust state tax on the communities eliminated. This program de- serves the support of all who are concerned with the present financial condition of municipalities.


I recommend this program to your honorable board for study, in the hope that you will communicate your favorable action on it to the state legislature.


The question of a sales tax to enable the state to eliminate its own deficit, and to provide greater assistance for the com -- inunities of our commonwealth has been brought before our


9


MAYOR'S ADDRESS


state legislature. This tax, with exemptions for necessities of life, would bring $40,000,000. in additional revenue, largely from individuals who partake of all the services of government and pay little for the maintenance of those services. Opposi- tion to it in the past has been propogated mainly by a small group of retail merchants. The acceptance by the legislature and the enactment into law of the recommendations of the Mayors' Association and a 2% sales tax will enable the com- munities to reduce their tax rates to an average of approx- imately $30. per thousand. There is no other remedy; no nos- trum or panacea; no alternative to constantly soaring tax rates.


I therefore, recommend to you for study, in the hope that it, too, will receive your favorable recommendation to the state legislature, a 2% sales tax on all but the necessities of life.


Veteran housing is still a subject of which we have talked a great deal but accomplished little. A proposal which would have provided temporary homes for 100 families of veterans in Somerville was defeated in 1946 by your honorable board.


As I see it, an end must be made to the unfair practice of demanding that a family which requires shelter must purchase. Newly married couples should be given an opportunity to es- tablish themselves before they assume the responsibilities of home ownership. The guarantees of the G. I. Bill of Rights has been so warped by selfish individuals as to place a weight on the back of the young married veteran from which he will not be freed for twenty years. He, - of the vast majority - isn't interested in buying, he wants to rent, at least until he's secure in his job and knows that real estate costs have sta- bilized. He should not be compelled to buy in an inflated mar- ket at a great sacrifice in order to provide shelter for his young family.


When your board defeated my recommendations for tem- porary housing, the majority expressed a desire to provide permanent construction. I will, therefore, in the near future, send to you a request for approval of a 5-year bond issue suf- ficient to provide approximately 100 apartments for rent to veterans, under the supervision of the Housing Authority, in an apartment house development to be erected on land at the rear of the Contagious Hospital, recently transferred to the Housing Authority by your honorable board. I look forward to immediate favorable action on this matter.
