The last City Council authorized the Mayor to petition the Legislature for the right to introduce water for domestic and fire purposes. In accordance with that vote, I have requested the City Solicitor to prepare such a petition, and it will be presented to the Legislature at the earliest practicable moment.
The schools of Quincy are its just pride. I believe we have an efficient and capable corps of teachers, fully alive to the requirements of the times, and who strive faithfully to perform their duties. I am of the opinion that the schools are in good condition. The loss of the Willard School-building disturbed the school arrangements. in that district. I hope, however,
21
that next fall this school can occupy the new building now in process of erection. The Adams Academy has about the same number of pupils as last year, and nothing has occurred to disturb the usual order of things in the school.
The Public Library has been carefully looked after by the Trustees, and the public has availed itself of the advantages offered, in as large numbers as at any time since its creation. The reports of the various departments will be made up and appended to and made a part of this message.
Under the law allowing a levy of $12 per thousand on the average valuation of the city for the last three years, the amount to be raised for general puposes is much less than is absolutely required for our actual needs. The relatively large sum required for the maintenance of our schools, almost one- half of the entire amount possible to raise, causes the closest scrutiny, and economy in every department of the city. The only alternative is to borrow money, payable in from one to ten years, and thus steadily approach the debt limit allowed by the statute. I think we should be very careful in our in- curring debts for running expenses. Taking into consideration the amount required for interest, state and county taxes, and the items of debt falling due this year, all of which can be raised outside the $12 per thousand limit, it is quite certain that our tax rate for the year ensuing will be at least $16 per thousand. Everything then, in my opinion, points to the necessity of an economical administration of the city finances. Of course we should be happy indeed, if we could meet all the requirements of the city at once, but in the nature of things it cannot be. We must be patient, believing that in due course of time, that all will be accomplished.
22
Gentlemen, today we start out on another year, and I hope we shall at the end of the year feel that we have sincerely, faithfully, and truly performed the duties assigned to us.
CHARLES H. PORTER,
Mayor.
