ANNUAL REPORT
ADDRESS
OF
HON. FRED E. BRIGGS
January 1, 1929
Gentlemen of the Council:
At the opening of each municipal year it is customary for the mayor to present to the legislative body some review of what has been accom- plished in city affairs and to offer some forecast of those projects and problems that yet confront us.
The occasion also furnished an opportunity to extend a word of wel- come to the newly elected officials of the city. I am confident that their participation in the affairs of municipal government will be both pleasant and profitable. Explanation should be made that reports of numerous city departments are not now to be reviewed but rather that mention is to be made of some of those matters which are worthy of the careful con- sideration of the council at its convenience.
Inasmuch as this is the third annual address that it lias been my privilege to make to the council, it must deal largely with subjects previ- ously discussed.
First place should be given, I think, to the subject of taxation. In the past two years we have reduced the tax rate by $3.70; we have kept within the budget limits to a remarkable extent; and have carefully tested the items calling for the expenditure of money. That effort must be con- tinued and strengthened during the coming year. Appropriations must be decided according to what we can afford and not merely by what we want. A determination to do this must characterize both the executive and legislative branches of the government, remembering that the great- est good to the largest number of householders and industries demands strict economy, careful planning and a tax level that makes the burden as light as possible and places it fairly where it belongs. In no other way can the tax-rate be stabilized at the lower level.
In dealing with this matter the state audit of the city's books now go- ing on may prove a useful guide for some of our operations. Nothing how- ever, can take the place of undelayed, patient and persistent work by the council which always has the final word on the reduction of the budget. The constant aim in this matter must be to provide for necessities and for such proportion of the permanent work as belongs to the current year. If we are to keep the city from falling behind in its public improvements, everyone knows that we cannot delay all major expenditures until some magic year when our tax-income is over-abundant, or some golden wind- fall arrives from unlikely sources. We must continue to make some progress annually.
Our new water supply is now far advanced and, naturally, this project ought to be completed promptly so that its benefits may become availa- ble during the coming summer and the dry season. The sale of water to neighboring comunities should receive very careful investigation, and likewise the extension of the system in Read street and Oak Hill avenue
The work on surface drainage should proceed and perhaps the time is at hand to map out a long term program for permanent street work in addition to our regular maintenance. I make special note of this because it may well be regarded as the most important topic to come before us this year.

ANNUAL REPORT
I have only praise for the quality of work being done by our city departments. The men and women who have charge of them give un- sparingly of their time and effort, and the results obtained justify an ever growing pride in our municipality. There is, however, no depart- ment that can afford to rest on its laurels without continuallly striving to profit by experience and attempting to better its record. Since the Mayor is in direct control of the Police Department I feel that this same policy should be followed there, more particularly in order that the advice given to all may not appear to be ignored by some.
This leads me to the announcement that I have already taken some steps which I hope will bring about in the near future the installation of most modern methods in our Police Department. The practice now in effect of sending a few men each year to the police school has been bene- ficial and it marks the starting point for further departmental develop- ment. The handling of routine business ;- the keeping of records ;- the preparation of cases ;- the planning for possible emergencies ;- the sys- tem of dicipline ;- the training of officers and men for advancement and promotion ;- all these subjects will be discussed here by an expert in friendly co-operation with the Chief and his department. I shall be glad to take up these matters with the council more in detail at a later date so that I may have the benefit of its advice and assistance. The aim in this endeavor is impersonal and non-political. Its object is to build up the department along modern lines to modern standards so that it may equal the best in the entire Commonwealth.
Other projects are pending .- A site for a city hall has heretofore been provided and a building therefor may well be studied this year by a committee to be named for that purpose. The long awaited widening of South Main Street to 55 feet has at last been nearly completed and will be entirely finished as soon as weather conditions permit. The moving of the Soldiers' Monument to Capron Park as requested by the G. A. R. and the dedication of the forthcoming memorial to the Spanish War Vet- erans, both of which projects have been provided for, are welcome patri- otic duties that await us. The traffic study begun last year must be completed. The necessary cleaning up after the N. T. & A. and the solu- tion of the A. B. C. Trolley situation should receive proper attention. The new City Home and problems connected with the fast growing South At- tleboro section await action. The new State highway in South Attleboro, on which six fatalities have recently occurred, needs close consideration. We must do what we can to make this important State highway as safe as possible, the absence of signs and policing by the State having made this one of the danger spots in the Commonwealth and an evil which should be ameliorated. In a lesser degree, perhaps, the absence of sufficient protection for pedestrians, including school children, at the Dodgeville Bridge makes it advisable that we should keep actively determined to se- cure proper safety at this point.
Even this partial list of pending projects is enough to show that the year which is just now beginning is to be a very important one for the city.
In extending my thanks to all the department heads for their hearty co-operation last year, I add my request that these friendly relations may continue this year. I hope that the Council will continue to work in harmony with the Mayor as in the past. The municipality will be efficient in proportion to the efficiency of each one of those who are sworn to give his or her best to the service. The period now past jus- tifies a very confident look-forward into the future of Attleboro, the city we are all so proud to serve.
