There are two matters closely allied to law enforcement that I desire to call to your attention at this point :
First. Chapter 421 of the laws of 1906 provides that the mayor and aldermen shall annually grant one or more per- mits for transporting intoxicating liquors into a city in which licenses for the sale thereof are not granted. With- out going into details, it is sufficient to say that we are compelled under this law to grant at least one permit to bring liquor into this city, but it is quite certain that pub- lic opinion will not sanction the creation of such a monop- oly as would result from the granting of so valuable a per- mit to one person or corporation to the exclusion of all others, and I therefore recommend that permits be granted to all such express companies as shall apply therefor, who are regularly engaged in the express business in New- buryport at the time of making such application, and have been so engaged for at least twelve months preceding.
Second. Chapter 281 of the laws of 1906 is an act regu- lating the sale of intoxicating liquors by registered phar-
205
MAYOR'S ADDRESS
macists. This act places the granting of licenses to drug- gists in the hands of the state board of registration in pharmacy, and takes away from the mayor and aldermen the authority which they have hitherto exercised in this respect.
I regret that this is so, as I feel that the present admin- istration would have refused to grant any druggists' licenses whatever, or at least would have safeguarded such licenses and made the abuse thereof more difficult than un- der existing law. These two statutes constitute weak points in the enforcement of the no-license law, but they are law, nevertheless, in the same sense as the liquor law itself, and cannot be overridden or ignored.
In making appointments to positions in the police de- partment I shall select only those men who I believe will act in harmony with the policy above outlined and who will through their character and fidelity to duty command the respect of their subordinates, as well as that of the public at large.
HIGHWAYS
Our streets and sidewalks are in a very poor condition, but it is not my intention to unduly criticise this depart- ment. However, it cannot be claimed that the streets are in the deplorable condition we find them today from lack of money, not if the expenditure in this department is com- pared with that of other years. Our highways have cost the city the past twelve months ending December 15, $20,569.69. We must see to it that we get the worth of the city's money expended in this department the ensuing year.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The public schools of the city I believe compare favor- ably with any city in the commonwealth, especially as re- gards management and efficient teachers. The accommo-
206
ANNUAL REPORTS
dations furnished in some instances may not be as satisfac- tory as our citizens desire, but we are obliged to rest con- tent until such time as the city's resources will permit the erection of a new schoolhouse, which I feel is much needed.
The appropriations for school purposes are constantly being increased, and the expenditures keep ahead of our means, with the result that we have to face a deficit at the close of each financial year. The overdraft for 1906 show- ing $2,934.95, the total expenditure for this department ending December 15 being $40,979.96.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
Much no doubt can be said in praise of this department. It is worthy of our commendation from the point of view of efficiency. The department as a whole I believe to be in good condition. The annual expenditures have been con- stantly increasing during the past ten years, and possibly the service is that much better, but as to that I cannot say. As the months come and go, I trust by observation and experience to be in a position to learn more of this depart- ment, which is so important a factor in our municipal affairs. The total expenditure of this department for the year ending December 15, 1906, is $11, 119.92.
PUBLIC LIGHTING
The cost of lighting streets and public buildings is too large, and the expense is ever on the increase. It does not appear that the city is getting the service it should. For years an agreement or contract, based upon a so-called "moon schedule," has been the rule, but it is far from sat- isfactory to the people. No matter what the appropria- tion, it is a fact that this department of our city always has an overdraft. In 1905 nearly $600.00. Last year,
207
MAYOR'S ADDRESS
1906, $1,332.00. We are paying too much for what we re- ceive, and I believe this matter should have our urgent and immediate attention. About a year ago, an attempt was made to force a five-year contract upon the city with the gas and electric light company and it came danger- ously near being accomplished.
There is supposed to be a system of keeping account of all lights not burning when the lighting schedule is on, but for what purpose I cannot explain. It is not ac- counted for, as far as I can learn, in the settlement of the monthly bills. Not only is the city paying too much for lighting purposes, but I believe the people are not getting the quality they should, while the price is exorbitant. Under existing conditions the city should, for municipal purposes, demand better quality of both gas and electric lighting, at a reduced price. If a movement was started to have the public better served by the gas and electric light company, both as regards price and quality, it would be a worthy attempt to serve the people.
PUBLIC LIBRARY
The public library and reading room need no words of praise or commendation from me. It is all-yes, it is even better than we could reasonably expect in a city the size of ours, and were it not for the liberal donations be- stowed upon this beneficent work in the community we would have reason to envy other cities in the common- wealth. Our city can well take pride in the possession of one of the finest libraries and reading rooms in the coun- try.
POOR DEPARTMENT
I regret very much the stigma cast upon this depart- ment of our city. It has left the impression upon the minds of too many that the poor department is badly mis-
208
ANNUAL REPORTS
managed. The investigation attempted a few months ago and so abruptly closed has not been forgotten, and while I have no information at present with which to enlighten you upon this subject, I assure you that this department will have my personal attention as soon as I am more fully acquainted with the details of our municipal affairs. The cost of the department for the year ending December 15, 1906, was $15,000.
WATER DEPARTMENT
The statutes under which the city is now operating its water plant were passed in several different years. Some portions have become obsolete, and in several important particulars the meaning of the statutes is a matter of con- siderable doubt. The respective powers of the water com- missioners and the city council are not clearly defined, and the purposes to which the water rates can be legally de- voted are not satisfactorily expressed. Furthermore, as the law now stands, the water bonds which annually ma- ture, to the extent of twelve thousand dollars, have to be paid out of money raised by general taxation. It is at least open to question whether a portion of this expense ought not to be met out of the water rates. This matter can be wisely determined only after a careful considera- tion of the expenses and disbursements of the water com- missioners for the past few years. I recommend that the . city council, through the medium of a committee, confer with the water commissioners, with a view to the prepara- tion of a bill to be presented to the legislature for the pur- pose of revising and simplifying the existing laws.
This year the city will be called upon to issue $50,000 new bonds for the laying of new pipes and for other im- provements.
Regarding the increase of water supply, it is of the greatest importance that immediate action should be
209
MAYOR'S ADDRESS
taken, and I would suggest that the same committee which you appoint to confer with the water commissioners for the purpose of revising and simplifying the existing laws governing this department be also empowered to act with the commissioners in this matter of increased water supply and report to the city council.
FACTS REGARDING THE FELKER EMBEZZLEMENT
Felker has pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with the larceny of $80,000 in notes and $6,800 in cash. He will be sentenced at the sitting of the court be- ginning at Salem the second Monday in January.
Apart from the shortage in the cash, the effect of the defalcation is not yet felt by the city, and will not be felt until it has to pay the outstanding notes upon which the city is now contesting its liability. The shortage in the cash was originally $6,800. This shortage has been some- what diminished by the proceeds of certain securities turned over to the city by Felker and sold by the city as follows :
500 shares Eclipse Oil Company. $ 150 00 100 shares Rhode Island Copper Company . 512 50
$1500 bonds California King Gold Mines Company . 725 78
Total $1,388 28
Thus the shortage in cash at the present time amounts to $5,411.72. A further reduction amounting to perhaps $3,000 will result from the sale of the stock in the Alumi- num Company, which will doubtless be effected before Felker is sentenced. The only remaining asset of value turned over to the city by Felker is a half interest in a cer- tain St. Paul land. Not very much, if anything, will be realized from this source.
With regard to the California King Gold Mines Com- pany, Felker invested at least twenty-five to thirty thous- and dollars of the city's money in its securities. He pur-
210
ANNUAL REPORTS
chased some ten thousand shares of the stock and $1,500 in bonds. Shortly after the discovery of his embezzlement, the stock was wiped out by a foreclosure sale in the inter- est of the bondholders and the latter received something less than 50 per cent of the par value of the bonds.
In order to diminish the city's loss, if possible, several suits have been brought against persons who have during the past few years accepted checks drawn on the city's bank account by Felker in payment of his private debts. It is claimed by the city that the persons taking checks were charged with notice, from the form of the checks, of Felker's want of authority to draw them. One of the suits was very nearly reached for trial in December and will presumably be tried in January.
The notes, however, give rise to the most important le- gal questions arising out of the defalcation. These notes which fell due in October last aggregate $80,000, $55,000 of which are held by the Citizens Savings Bank of Provi- dence, R. I., and $25,000 by Blake Brothers of Boston. The last-named note for $25,000 was held until recently by the Institution for Savings in Roxbury. This institution has brought suit against the city and arrangements had been made with its counsel for a speedy trial in order that the case might be decided by the Supreme Court of Massa- chusetts in March, 1907. The institution had also brought suit against Blake Brothers, and at the last moment they took up the note by paying the institution the full amount due thereon. The suit against the city was, of course, then abandoned. Blake Brothers have not yet sued the city, but intend to await the decision of the United States Court in the suit of the Citizens Savings Bank against the city. It is hoped that this case will be tried within a few months, but like most litigation it will no doubt drag its tortuous course through the court. The city is represented by able counsel and everything will be done to protect the city's interests.
211
MAYOR'S ADDRESS
Until the question of the city's liability on the notes is determined no demand can be made on the sureties on Fel- ker's bonds, because it cannot be known until then how much the city's loss amounts to.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I do not desire to submit a long list of recommendations for your consideration at this time, but it would be a very great assistance to the executive department of our city if the mayor were allowed to appoint a stenographer as pri- vate secretary, the expense to be divided between the de- partment of city clerk and the office of the mayor; said private secretary to be clerk of committees and an assistant to the city clerk. This would expediate matters in the city clerk's office, place in the hands of the mayor such transactions in the committee meetings as should be mat- ters of record, and assist the chief executive in keeping in closer touch with the doings of the various committees.
I would further recommend that the meetings of the two branches of the city council be held on different evenings -the aldermen the first Monday evening in the month ; the common council the second Monday evening in the month. This would prevent the "railroading" of orders through both branches the same evening.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, gentlemen, let us remember that the po- litical ideal of an administration should be a "Square Deal" for all.
This short phrase embodies the awakened hopes of the people of the United States in the administration of their national, state and municipal affairs, and furnishes a safe rule of conduct for all.
212
ANNUAL REPORTS
Under this standard I therefore ask you to join me, to the end that we may administer our respective offices, not to reward friends or punish enemies, but to justify the faith that inspired our election and to confirm the belief that the people can be trusted to correct all abuses.
