HAROLD W. WELLS, MAYOR CITY OF SOMERVILLE INAUGURAL ADDRESS SOMERVILLE, MASSACHUSETTS JANUARY 4, 1960


Mr. Chairman, Reverend Clergy, Members of the Board of Aldermen, Members of the School Committee, Members of the Board of Assessors, and my fellow citizens:


May I be permitted, first of all, to extend to you and to all the people of our city, my very best wishes for a peaceful, prosperous, healthy and happy New Year.


At the beginning of the Inauguration of a new city govern- ment for Somerville, may I say to you, that while I am pleased and proud of the high honor you have accorded me, as your Mayor, I am deeply mindful of the tremendous responsibility that goes with the high honor of being mayor.


I assume that responsibility with humility, but with the unbounded determination to do a good job. I could find words to express it more eloquently, but I want to assure you, my fellow citizens, that no other words can better express my complete sincerity than these simple words: "I am determined to do a good job."


To do a good job requires more than just desire and deter- mination. One must, first of all, acquaint himself with the


4


ANNUAL REPORTS


full extent of the damage that has been done, before he can embark upon a program of restoring the financial stability of our city. He must act swiftly to stop further drains upon the treasury of the city, imposed by an outgoing administration - an administration that abandoned the wreckage, in order to provide an island of personal safety and personal security.


I cannot, at this moment, give you a full and complete picture of the financial conditions as they now exist. The facilities have not yet been made available to me to obtain all the information needed for me to do so.


However, I intend immediately to make a thorough probe and survey of all the departments of the city government, and from time to time, will report to the people of our city, just what the facts reveal.


My Fellow Citizens, I wish with all my heart that I could speak words to you tonight, that would inspire optimism and hope that our situation is a satisfactory one. But everywhere I look, every fact and every figure that my advisors and I un- cover, only make the picture blacker.


Do you wonder at my indignation, when you find an ad- ministration that has spent $8,000 to test the air over an incinerator site for air pollution even before the incinerator is in operation; or an administration that spends $6,000 for a survey of the Union Square section, when any intelligent person could select a site for off street parking in one or two days, without costs to the city.


Have you ever been informed that in addition to the $1,400,000 Bond Issues floated to pay the cost of the inciner- ator, that there have been to date, 38 changes in the original contract that have cost the city approximately one hundred seventy-eight thousand dollars ($178,000) in extras? Do you know that the specifications of the original contract calling for a steel roof on the incinerator were changed from a steel roof to a pre-cast gypsum roof? The excuse given was the steel strike. But there was no need for haste, as the contract we have for dumping still has almost a year to run.


5


MAYOR'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS


They tell you that there was no extra cost to the city for this change. Wouldn't you say that the savings to the con- tractor by this change should have been returned to the city?


But the most outrageous change of all was changing the clause that 10% of the contract price was to be retained by the city until the work has been approved and accepted by the city, as is usually done in all contracts of this nature.


The 10% is the minimum amount required to be retained and on October 23rd of 1959, this was changed from 10% to 21/2%. You ask yourselves why and so do I.


I only cite these few instances, to show you the unwar- ranted abuses of power that have been rampant in our city for the past six years.


The full and complete story of the financial pillaging of our city by the outgoing administration cannot be fully evalu- ated at this time. However, I pledge to the people of Somerville that the complete story must be told and tell it I will.


What are my plans for the future of our city?


They are simple and concise.


My first step for the future of Somerville is to make sure that Somerville will have a future.


I believe that I can best assure that by doing everything in my power to put the financial structure of our city in order.


Economy and common sense in the operation of our munic- ipal government shall be the order of the day.


Each succeeding year brings additional burdens on the taxpayer and rent payer.


Our city covers an area of only 4.22 square miles. We are land poor. We have nowhere to expand. The continual taking of our land and property, by the Metropolitan District Commis-


6


ANNUAL REPORTS


sion and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, by eminent domain, without one cent of reimbursement, for our resulting tax loss, is wrecking our already small tax base.


The future plans of the state for more takings of our land and taxable property for more road construction and inner belt Highways, will cause additional untold damage without one cent of tax reimbursement.


Increased burdens imposed by the state, by the county, by the M.T.A., by the costs of education, including salary in- creases to school teachers, necessary increases to the rest of the city employees, and the ever increasing costs of repairs and materials and supplies, will give you some idea of the back- breaking task that lies ahead.


Hasn't one a right to ask, about the previous administra- tion, what manner of men were these, to go merrily on their way, spending the public's money with such reckless abandon, knowing that the times and conditions demanded economy and not squandering?


I do not intend to make like a politician. I will not promise you everything and do nothing. I promise you nothing and will do the very best I can with the help of Almighty God, to give a good administration.


It would be vanity run riot on my part, for me to stand before you and tell you that by my own genius and by my own magic, I will overnight restore the once proud financial posi- tion of our city.


The road ahead is a difficult one. The task will not be easy or very pleasant. There is only one solution and that is predi- cated upon the ability to work hard and intelligently and to be able to say "NO".


I am neither going to try and satisfy everybody, nor am | going to try to be all things to all people.


I am not going to be intimidated by threats or swayed by flattery.


7


MAYOR'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS


I am going to be mayor of Somerville in name, and I am going to be Mayor of Somerville in fact.


I intend to face reality, and to meet every situation squarely and as fearlessly as I can.


I need your patience, your understanding and your help. I ask you for it.


The future of our city can be assured by economy, common sense in government, and a practical plan of development that will utilize our natural assets to their fullest potential.


Somerville is in the perimeter of Boston. Its many hills make it one of the most attractive and desirable locations for apartment house building in all of greater Boston.


I intend to call upon the best brains to be found in our city, to lend their talents to the city, for the development of diversified light commercial industries and businesses, and a definite plan to encourage apartment house building.


Now that I have taken my oath of office as Mayor, an oath that requires me to uphold the law, I feel that I am duty bound to speak out on a subject that, before this, I have remained silent on, because as an Assessor, I did not feel it was my business.


In keeping with my oath of office that requires me to see to it that all public money is legally expended, I intend to ob- tain from the City Solicitor, as soon as his appointment is confirmed, an opinion as to whether the office of the City Clerk is being legally occupied.


There is no question in my mind that as far as the statute law of the Commonwealth is concerned, the Board of Alder- men, is the proper body to elect a City Clerk. The question in my mind is whether the former Mayor acted legally. Is the Mayor's office a fiduciary one and if so, was the action of the former Mayor consistent with his fiduciary relationship?


8


ANNUAL REPORTS


My future course of action in this matter will be deter- mined by the legal opinion rendered to me by the legally con- stituted officer of the city.


My actions and not my words will set at rest, for all time, the unfounded rumors that I was a party to any political deal with anyone in this matter.


I give way to no man in the sincerity of my desire to ad- minister our city as a clean, law-abiding community.


I will bring the full weight of the office of Chief Executive in support of the Police Department, under the able leader- ship of Chief Thomas O'Brien, to accomplish that most desired result.


He has and will have my whole hearted cooperation in all his efforts to maintain law and order in our city.


As an ex-officio member of the School Committee, I intend to follow very closely the recommendations of Dr. Leo C. Don- ahue, the Superintendent of Schools, in all matters effecting the educational welfare of our children. I have the utmost respect and confidence in his ability as an educator and ad- ministrator. In the administration of our educational system, I know that he, and the duly elected members of the School Committee, will cooperate with the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen, to avoid all frills and fancies in our educational system, which have proven so costly elsewhere.


To all city employees, I say, take back your dignity as a human being and your self-respect. If I cannot earn your good will, your confidence and your loyalty, by my fair and just treatment of you, as fellow public employees, I shall never at- tempt to obtain it by intimidation, coercion, threats or subtle bribery.


Every employee who is doing an honest day's work, in a necessary position, will never find himself exploited for polit- ical reasons.


9


MAYOR'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS


No one who has ever experienced the horror of a fire can ever underestimate the importance of maintaining a fire de- partment at peak efficiency. In Chief James O'Hara we have an outstanding firefighter, and to withhold the filling of neces- sary vacancies for months and months at a time, only endangers the efficiency of a department, that is vital to the protection of the lives and safety of our citizens. I will end this practice immediately and be guided by the recommendations of the Head of that Department.


As a family man and a small business man, I am personally acquainted with the cost of living. Every city employee can rest assured that I will do all in my power to see to it that their compensation for their services, will keep abreast with the rising costs of living.


I ask them to help me to help them, and they can best do that by seeing to it, that in their daily work, every penny that can be saved in maintenance and repairs, be saved, firm in the knowledge that they, as well as the taxpayers, will share in the savings.


No one man can run a city alone. A Mayor needs and must have capable and qualified department heads, who will bring to their positions, "know how" and the desire to render to the public faithful service. I intend to appoint only those who meet these requirements fully.


My Fellow Citizens, I shall always conduct myself in the office of Chief Executive, with dignity, courage, honesty and sincerity, and in keeping with the bountiful heritage of a won- derful mother and father. I will never permit my conduct to reflect anything but pride and happiness to my dear wife and my two manly sons.


This is your best guarantee of receiving from me, as your Mayor, an administration that will reflect credit upon our city.


I realize | cannot do it alone. I must receive the whole hearted cooperation of the members of the Board of Aldermen,


10


ANNUAL REPORTS


the members of the School Committee, the Board of Assessors and all the Employees of the city.


I shall never interfere with the functions of these elected officials, but I know that, only by working together, by mutual cooperation and understanding, can we succeed in the difficult task ahead.


I humbly ask Almighty God to grant me the wisdom, the patience and the courage to meet all the problems that may confront me, to the end that we can truly make our city a bet- ter place in which to live and bring up our children. Thank you and God Bless you.


Respectfully submitted, HAROLD W. WELLS, Mayor
