MID-TERM ADDRESS OF MAYOR JOHN M. LYNCH JANUARY 1, 1951
Mr. President and Members of the Board of Aldermen:
I desire to take this occasion to express to you and all the citizens of Somerville my sincere hope that the coming year may be one of peace and prosperity for all.
When I assumed the office of Mayor one year ago, I stated to you and the people of Somerville that there was no easy ap- proach to the solution of the problems confronting our city. I stated then, and I repeat tonight, that it has always been my practice, when addressing the citizens of Somerville, to speak frankly. This I intend to do once again.
In the first place, let us briefly review conditions as we found them one year ago. In no city anywhere, at any time, did there exist the chaos - confusion - and lack of confi- dence in city government - as existed in Somerville then.
These conditions placed our city in a much more serious plight than even appeared on the surface at that time. For example, there was a much larger deficit in Estimated Receipts than was at first anticipated. This deficit finally amounted to $333,273.41 and this had to be included in the 1950 tax rate. Likewise, there was a further deficit of $162,964.83 in the Overlay Funding Account, which brought the aggregate defi- cit, which we inherited from the previous administration, to practically a half million dollars - and this had to be included in the 1950 tax rate.
To further add to the burden of the taxpayers of Somer- ville, the previous administration borrowed money in order to meet the 1949 M. T. A. assessment. The first payment on this loan had to be met by our administration in the amount of $88,912.00 - and this also had to be included in the 1950 tax rate.
Strange is it may seem, we also had to meet an assessment levied by the State on the 1950 M. T. A. deficit, which amounted to $96,998.22. Thus, you can see that the grand total of inherited deficits amounted to $682,148.46 - which had to be included in the 1950 tax rate; although we had ab-
6
ANNUAL REPORTS
solutely no control whatsoever over these deficits - and we were in no way responsible for them.
These deficits, totalling $682,148.46, represent more than Five Dollars in Somerville's 1950 tax rate, and it is plainly evi- dent that if it were not for these inherited deficits, our tax rate for 1950 would have been reduced.
At the very beginning of our term of office, we proceeded with the business of the city in a determined effort to restore Somerville to its proper position among the municipalities of the Commonwealth. The appointment of competent Depart- ment Heads has resulted in the affairs of our city being con- ducted with dignity and courage, efficiency and honesty.
On matters over which we had direct control, the operating cost of our city government has been lowered and efficiency increased.
In view of the chaotic conditions which existed when I assumed office one year ago, it became necessary to take forthright and courageous action to prevent Somerville from complete ruin. Some of these actions were drastic and per- sonally unpleasant to me, but, nevertheless, absolutely neces- sary to the welfare of our city.
I have always said that "It is easy to be a good fellow - with somebody else's money" but in the administration of a city government, I believe that the taxpayers who pay the bills are entitled to the utmost consideration from those whom they elect to serve them.
In this connection, I have from time to time, invited the Somerville Taxpayers' Association, the Chamber of Com- merce, and representatives of other organizations, to present their views - and I have given respectful consideration to their suggestions. I desire to publicly thank these organiza- tions for their assistance, and cordially invite them to continue their interest in the conduct of Somerville's municipal affairs.
In our city, the Taxpayers' Association is a virile and intel- ligent group. They are motivated by a sincere desire to courageously and sensibly scrutinize the expenditures and actions of the city government.
I appreciate their interest and I value their assistance - and I urge all the citizens of Somerville, eligible to do so, to join the Somerville Taxpayers' Association.
We are fortunate, too, in having an aggressive Chamber of Commerce, whose co-operation I value, because the maintain- ing of good business opportunities in Somerville means a lessening of the burdens of taxation upon the home owners of
7
MAYOR'S ADDRESS
our city. Business in Somerville must be encouraged in every way possible by the City Government, because the more busi- ness there is, the greater will be their tax contribution to our City Treasury.
In this respect, I am mindful of the parking problems in the various shopping districts of our city. During the past year, at the city's expense, a scientific survey was conducted in the Davis Square area. The results of this survey are now receiving my consideration and I shall make such recommen- dations as I deem advisable - just as soon as possible.
During the year just passed, I am pleased to report that the State Legislature has acted favorably upon my request for legislation authorizing the construction, by the State, of a new athletic stadium on the site of Dilboy Field. Due to the National Emergency, an edict has been issued by the Federal Government prohibiting new construction. Despite this edict, every effort is being exerted, by both the State and City Gov- ernment, to obtain permission for the construction of this worthy project at Dilboy Field as an essential recreational facility for our city.
The State Legislature is, at present, also conducting a study of the advisability of constructing swimming pools at Saxton Foss Park in East Somerville and in Alewife Brook section in West Somerville.
As an example of intelligent planning and efficient ad- ministration, I submit that during the past year Somerville Avenue was completely reconstructed from Porter Square to the Northern Artery - including Union Square. This project cost approximately One Hundred Thousand Dollars; yet, by taking advantage of Chapter 90 of the General Laws, we ob- tained this improvement at a cost of only Twenty-five Thou- sand Dollars to the taxpayers of Somerville.
New Traffic Lights and Safety Islands were installed in various parts of the city.
A new, modern playground was constructed and opened for the benefit of the children in the vicinity of Albion and Lowell Streets - and this playground is now being used as a model by other municipalities.
A new, modern outdoor board running-track was erected at the rear of the High School Gymnasium. This track was con- structed entirely by regular Civil Service employees of the Engineering Department.
In the Sanitary Department, four new trucks were pur- chased - and in the Highway Department, three new trucks
8
ANNUAL REPORTS
were purchased; thus eliminating the expensive practice of hiring privately-owned trucks.
Adjustments have been made in the wages and hours of various departments and surveys are being made of other departments. As an example, the Somerville Police Depart- ment is now operating on the basis of a five-day week - and this has been accomplished at no additional cost to the tax- payers.
Members of the Fire Department will soon enjoy a 48-hour working week, as the result of a schedule just agreed upon -- and this also at no additional cost to the taxpayers.
The definite accomplishments of this administration dur- ing the past year are evidence of progress made under adverse conditions. With the co-operation of the Board of Aldermen, members of the School Committee, and all the employees of the city government, even greater progress can be expected during the coming year.
At this time, I desire to publicly thank the members of the Board of Aldermen and the School Committee for their whole- hearted co-operation with me in the task of conducting the affairs of the city.
I desire also to thank the city employees, including the school teachers, firemen, policemen, clerks, laborers, and all others, for the co-operation they have given me during the past year - and I urge them to continue in their conscientious application to duty which has resulted in such great benefit to the city.
Something, I believe, of the utmost importance, is the fact that during the past few weeks, a number of our young people have become members of the Armed Forces of the Nation. In the immediate days to come, many, many more, will likewise answer the call to the colors. These youths who have left their homes and places of employment to defend us, have the right to expect, that when they return, their jobs will be waiting for them. Insofar as the City of Somerville is con- cerned, any city employee who answers his country's call, may rest assured that his job will be available immediately upon his return.
As we enter the year 1951, it must be apparent to every- one that this year might be the most critical in our nation's history. Therefore, it is obvious that we cannot make any definite plans, but rather, must give immediate and serious consideration to the matters of most vital concern to the
9
MAYOR'S ADDRESS
existence of our people, namely; Civil Defense and the Cost of Government.
Recently I attended a Conference at Washington of the Mayors and Civil Defense Heads of the Nation, called for the purpose of acquainting us with the imminent danger confront- ing the civilian population of the country. Members of the Military, and heads of the National Civil Defense Organiza- tion, expressed their concern at the failure of the people to realize how critical is the present International situation. They strongly urged us to establish a capable, competent and ade- quate Civil Defense program, sufficient to cope with the situation, in the event it is necessary. This involves a tremen- dous undertaking and one in which great sacrifice must be made.
The State Legislature recently passed a Law directing the establishment of a Civil Defense Agency in every city and town in Massachusetts, with definite requirements.
Governor Dever recently considered the situation critical enough to declare the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to be in a State of Emergency. This is a serious situation and con- fronts us with a tremendous task - which cannot be met by public officials alone - but, must have the wholehearted participation and co-operation of every man, woman and child in our city.
I have appointed to head the Civil Defense Program in Somerville, Mr. Joseph M. Thornton, Vice-Headmaster of the Northeastern Junior High School. Mr. Thornton, in addition to being an educator, is a veteran of World War II, where he served in Army Intelligence; and is pre-eminently qualified to direct the program. An Advisory Council to assist him in the Civil Defense Program has also been appointed. Every person in Somerville interested in assisting in this program is invited and strongly urged to join this Civil Defense organization NOW.
The people of Somerville must realize that Civil Defense is not only a highly imperative activity - but a costly under- taking as well. I am unable to predict at this time, the effect Civil Defense will have on Somerville's tax rate for 1951. However, in the light of the situation which exists today, the safety of our citizens and, particularly of our children, cannot be measured in dollars and cents.
However, let me assure the people of Somerville that the expenditures of the Civil Defense Program will receive my closest scrutiny to make certain that the utmost prudence and
10
ANNUAL REPORTS
economy is exercised, consistent with the requirement for the protection of the lives and safety of our people.
This year 1951 will bring with it some of the most stupen- dous problems in our history - and we must have the courage, zeal and fortitude to face what we have to do. The urgency of National Defense has already overshadowed our normal activi- ties and will impose new and unprecedented burdens upon all the people.
The advent of the New Year finds the American people, this year, with their hearts grimly steeled to a task in which there can be neither happiness nor peace. Nevertheless, it is a task which must be undertaken with all the courage and faith of which we are capable.
If we are to meet the challenge successfully, we must co- operate with each other, each and every one of us, in a sincere and determined endeavor to serve the people justly. As Chief Executive of the City of Somerville, I appeal for a cessation of politics in the consideration of our sworn obligations in these perilous days.
As I have previously stated, because of the uncertainty of the times, I deem it unwise to submit a definite program this evening. However, I make a solemn pledge that all the essen- tial functions of our city government will be carried on sensibly and honestly. We have done our level best to conscientiously do a good job in the management of the city's business. As we look back over the year which has just passed, I submit that every fair-minded citizen of Somerville will concede, that in the administration of our city government during the past year, there has been a refreshing change from the chaos - confusion - and lack of confidence which prevailed one year ago.
In closing, I invite the co-operation of the Board of Alder- men, the School Committee, the city employees and all the citizens of Somerville. I make just one simple promise "that I shall continue to do the best job of which I am capable in conducting the affairs of the City of Somerville, on a sound, common-sense basis, with honesty and dignity to the end, that Somerville may continue to be a decent place in which to live."
I ask the blessing and assistance of Almighty God in carry- ing this pledge to a successful conclusion.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN M. LYNCH, Mayor
