ANNUAL REPORT
In Memoriam HON. PHILIP EDWARD BRADY
In the death of City Solicitor Philip E. Brady which occurred Sept. 24, 1926, the city lost one of its faithful officials and most cherished citizens, and it is eminently fitting that the official records of the year should contain a heartfelt tribute to his memory.
Born in Attleboro, he passed his whole life here, and was beloved and honored by his fellow citizens to a degree seldom attained by any. After completing the course in our public schools, he entered and was graduated from the Harvard Law School. Following his admittance to the bar he opened a law office in Attleboro, and was soon a successful practitioner.
Being much interested in public affairs he served the town and later the city in various positions of trust and always with distinction. While Attleboro was under the old form of town government he was for many years elected, without opposition, to the office of moderator, and his manner of conducting the duties of that office was unique and gratify- ing. With the adoption of the city form of government he was elected a member of the first municipal council and was chosen president of the board. His knowledge of parliamentary law especially fitted him to fulfill the duties of this office and he presided with grace and dignity. He next became the second mayor of the city, serving for two terms most efficiently. At the time of his death he held the office of city solicitor.
His legal ability and high standing in his profession brought to him the appointment by the Governor of Associate Justice of the Fourth District Court.
He took a great interest in the welfare of the men who went from this division to enter the world war, always accompanying them from the Court House to the railroad station, and parting from them with words of cheerfulness and encouragement.
This was his public record. He was equally eminent in his private life. He loved his ancestral home on the corner of North Main and West Streets, where much of his leisure was passed among his fields and flowers and fruit trees, enjoying greatly the songs of birds and all phe- nomena of nature. He was a keen and shrewd observer of men and affairs, a cordial sympathetic friend, and faithful brother to his sister, the only remaining member of a once large family.
He was a good citizen and true gentleman.
Centuries ago the old Roman Cicero wrote "Life is brief, but the memory of a life well spent is eternal."

Included in the city report for 1926 in accordance with a resolve of the Municipal Council dated October 19, 1926.

ANNUAL REPORT
ADDRESS OF HON. FRED E. BRIGGS
January 4, 1927
Gentlemen of the Council:
As I shall have the opportunity of consulting you frequently during the year, it does not seem necessary or advisable to attempt an exhaust- ive review of all city topics at this time. In fact the brief period between election and inauguration does not allow time for the preparation of such a document. There are some thirty department reports covering the year. Without attempting to summarize these, may I recommend them all for a careful reading and for such further consideration as may later be deemed best.
In beginning the 13th year under the city charter, it may be well to survey that document together with our procedure under it to see if any changes can be made that will bring about improvements. Doing away with the expense of the off-year election, perhaps a compulsory primary to affect a majority rule in choosing the mayor, even some change in our assessor system, are subjects which have been discussed considerably of late and deserve a decision after a thorough, friendly and impersonal study.
Having been so recently a member of the council, may I suggest, without presuming too far and without in any way making a recommen- dation, the possibility of receiving directly into the council all petitions for legislation except such as may be otherwise regulated by law, thereby saving the time that has to be consumed if the mayor is required first to thoroughly study the matter petitioned for and make a recommendation thereon before the legislative body has any knowledge of the measure. I have faith in the Council and I know that is is capable of assuming the full legislative duties conferred upon it by the charter as coordinate with the administrative department of our government.
After noting such possible changes in the machinery of government, it may be well to announce thus early that first attention should and must be given to the tax problem. Our plight is not altogether different from that of other cities but the example of the federal and state governments in the matter of tax reduction suggests to citizens that mu- nicipalities should strive for more economy. Something can be done, perhaps, in the way of attracting new industries and thus adding em- ployment opportunities and valuation; to that end I will later name a citizens' committee to take up this subject. More may be accomplished by watching the city's expenses constantly, by seeing to it that budgets are not exceeded and that a proper balance between a pay-as-you-go policy and the issuing of bonds is maintained. It will be well, also, to keep a careful watch on pending legislation on Beacon Hill because many of our expenses are accounted for by statute laws in the making of which we have scant voice.
Deducting our revenue loans on one side and our sinking funds on the other, our net debt outside the debt limit on Dec. 31st was $719,000, and our net debt inside the debt limit was $293,000, leaving us a present borrowing capacity of $270,000.

ANNUAL REPORT
The city spent last year some $1,100,000, of which county and state taxes represented $87,000, and the interest, debt and sinking fund re- quirements $248,000. This leaves some $800,000 to be appropriated under ten headings with public works and schools taking more than half that sum. These few figures kept in mind will show how essential it is to test every proposed expense by this scale of expenditure which cannot be exceeded without raising the tax rate.
If one compares the purchasing power of the dollar now with what it was in 1913 when the tax rate was $18.20, the subsequent increase may not seem excessive. It is burdensome, however, and even at the price of personal popularity it must be checked. A city can accomplish this result only in the same way that an individual would. It must spend less. I ask the fullest aid of the council in bringing this to pass.
Since the mayor exercises direct control over the police department, it is proper that reference should be made to law enforcement without forgetting that upon all citizens rests the duty of law observance. As officials, our plain duty is to see that the police department is adequately equipped, and given sympathetic assistance. That done, the police, no less than the other city employees, are required to do their work effi- ciently, without tale bearing and without alibis. I have confidence in our police; it is for them to continue to justify that confidence which the public shares.
The carrying forward of the water supply work already so well begun, and the extension of the surface drainage which has also been started are among the major projects for this year. Among the smaller items which should not be lost sight of are the importance of empha- sizing the highway-safety-work which has received considerable publicity and the opportunity of considering our neglected Spanish War Veterans when war memorials are again considered.
It is with a deep sense of personal loss as well as with official re- gret that I record the passing of our second mayor, Honorable Philip E. Brady. Representative Holden has been asked by the council to prepare a fitting record of that useful life for inclusion in our Annual Report and I know that no words of mine can add to the tribute he will write. I simply record the loss of one who was dear to me and whose memory is precious to us all.
In the annals of the past year, I also record the city's loss in the deaths of Solon D. Bushee, long a faithful and valued member of the Park Commission, and of George R. Adams, a Civil War Veteran who was in charge of taking care of the soldiers' graves.
Gentlemen: As the new year begins, I am impressed with the con- viction that we have not been given merely the honor of the offices we hold, but the opportunity to prove our fitness. It is for us to strive to give our best to the city and to take pride in the fact that Attleboro is worthy of our best endeavor. May I prove worthy of the high traditions my predecessors have established in this office.
