ANNUAL REPORT
ADDRESS OF HON. GEORGE A. SWEENEY
January 5. 1926.
Gentlemen of the Council :-
Tonight the good ship City of Attleboro embarks on its twelfth an- nual voyage, and it is your duty and mine to steer her course away from the rocks and dangerous places, and into the known channels of safety and smooth sailing.
This can be accomplished only by co-operation and team work be- tween the two branches of our city government, so let us pledge our- selves anew to a year of united efforts for the best interests of our be- loved city.
To those of you who are members of the council for the first time I extend a most cordial welcome, and look forward to a year of pleasant relations with you.
While it has been the custom in past years to give a lengthy review at this time of the activities of all of the city departments during the previous twelve months, you can all obtain this information from the department reports, therefore, I will mention only a few of the out- standing accomplishments of the year.
I consider the securing of authority from the legislature to take water from the Wading River Water Shed the most important achieve- ment of the year. This act guarantees an ample water supply for the city for the next seventy-five years.
Next in importance was the vote to widen South Main Street and Dunham Street. The widening of Dunham Street has been completed and should quickly pay for itself because of increased valuations in that vicinity.
The widening of South Main Street, from County Street to the Briggs House has been completed, and plans are under way to have that structure removed as soon as the fires are drawn in the spring.
The wisdom of this street widening program is already plainly evi- dent.
The rebuilding of Hodges Street, Morey Street and sections of the main thoroughfares in South Attleboro and Hebronville have been com- pleted by our regular highway force, and compares most favorable with the work done in former years by outside contractors.
It is interesting to note that ninety new houses were connected with the water mains during the year, and that forty-one of these houses were in the South Attleboro district.
Another accomplishment of note was your approval of the plans for a new schoolhouse at South Attleboro. This splendid building, cost- ing $175,000 will be ready for use in September. It contains ten school rooms and a large auditorium which can be used by the people from that section for community gatherings.
I will now call your attention to a few of the needs of the city which should be taken care of this year.
First in importance is the drainage situation.
That section of the city north of Peck Street, between Bank Street and Hope Street, is entirely without drainage, while sections of County Street and lower Pine Street are about as bad.
I will shortly present you with estimates of the cost of relieving these conditions.
Second, the assessment of taxes. After comparing the tax rates and
12
ANNUAL REPORT
valuations of other cities with ours I am firmly convinced that all of the property in the city should be appraised and a fair valuation placed upon it by the assessors.
For comparison, I will state that from 1914 to 1924 inclusive the average increase in the valuation in cities of 17,000 to 23,000 people in Massachusetts, was 461/2%. The increase in Attleboro's valuations was 10%. Our population has increased 21%, the products of our factories increased 99%, and still our valuations are about what they were ten years ago.
I realize that the abatements allowed the Crown Mill and the B. B. & R. Knight Company by the County Commissioners took over one mil- lion dollars from our valuation but it is also true that new buildings alone have increased our valuations over one million dollars.
The changes in the tax laws have also taken away some of our valuations but this is also true of every other city and town in Massa- chusetts.
It is apparent that the valuations placed upon most of the property in Attleboro by the Assessors are far below the valuations placed on the same property by the owners.
BIENNIAL ELECTIONS. I again recommend that our regular city elections be held every other year instead of yearly as at present.
State elections are held on the even years and the city elections could well come on the odd years.
Not only would the city save $1000 every two years but a much larger percentage of the voters would get to the polls.
COMFORT STATION. I believe the time has come when it is impera- tive that we have a public comfort station, and I would suggest that it be located on the common where it would be in plain view of our people and of many passing automobilists. It could also be arranged so that a part of the building would be available for a waiting station for the patrons of the A. B. C. and Norton, Taunton and Attleboro railroads.
POLICE STATION I recommend that the first floor and basement of the Crandall property on North Main Street be used as police head- quarters.
I also recommend that a committee of the council visit this property, and see if the second floor could be made over into a suitable place in which to hold the meetings of the municipal council.
The city financial condition is as follows :

It is with regret that I have to record the passing of several of At- tleboro's leading citizens during the year.
Among them were Nathan H. Read, Herbert A. Butterworth and Sydney T. Estee, all veterans of the Civil War and citizens of the high- est standing.
Also Mrs. Emily Lamb Richardson, for seventeen years a member of the School Committee.
Thomas E. McCaffrey, for years a leading business man and a valued member of the Board of Assessors, and also a trustee of the Public Library.
Wilfred E. Rounseville, one of God's Noble Men, city physician and friend of the unfortunate.
In closing I wish to extend the thanks of the city to the members of the council who have just retired. They have performed their work faithfully, and well, and deserve the commendation of all of our citi- zens.
I also wish to extend my personal thanks to the heads of the de- partments, and to all city employees for their splendid co-operation dur- ing the past year.
