the"waters of Blue Hills river for the extinguishment of fire and other purposes, but only upon the condition of having first purchased the franchise, corporate property, rights and privi- leges of The Quincy Water Company.
The voters of Quincy have three years from January 11, 1891, in which to accept said act. An acceptance of this act without the purchase of the property of the water company would be the performance of an idle ceremony.
With the modern methods of living, the attractiveness, and consequently the growth of any community must depend more upon its water supply than upon any other factor which enters into the question of a location of a home. Unfortunately for Quincy the sources of water for public use are few and of limited extent, but such as they are they should all be acquired at the earliest opportunity.
At the hearing before the Legislative committee it was proven that the present supply affords only one and a half mil- lion gallons daily ; and with our rapid growth in population, increased facilities for supplying water must be provided for before the actual necessity is upon us.
I believe that a city should own its own system of water supply. It can then improve the source of supply, abate nui- sances when they exist, extend its mains to keep pace with the growth of the city, furnish satisfactory hydrant service, and give to the citizens more satisfactory rates. I believe that the same would become self supporting.
It is unlikely that the company will ever state its selling price, and recourse must be had to the supreme court.
I therefore recommend that this most important subject be taken into consideration, and that the citizens be given the privilege of expressing their opinion upon the question of the purchase of the Quincy Water Company according to the pro- visions of its. charter.
BOARD OF SURVEY.
Few cities in this Commonwealth are so favorably situated as our own, possessing as we do those natural advantages which should be the means of attracting to our midst a most desirable class of citizens. In our legislation we should endeavor to plan for the future welfare of our city, as well as to provide for its present need.
20
With the seashore for our eastern boundary, affording such an expansive view of ocean,one can readily see the rich returns that would come to the city and to its citizens if a broad high- way was constructed skirting the entire shore. It would fur- nish a beautiful drive for our citizens, and the land adjacent thereto would be most valuable for building purposes.
The river on our northern boundary also deserves our attention. We could carry out the same plan here, and with similar results. At this point we would be co-operating with the city of Boston in their plans for the future.
With the hills on our west, and the ocean on the east, we obtain an inland and sea view unsurpassed in any city or state.
It would indeed be a fatal mistake to permit a territory possessing such natural advantages to be cut up without method or system other than that which suggests itself to the rapacious land speculator as most likely to fill his pocket in the shortest possible time.
In the rapid growth of our city vacant lands are being opened up, houses are built thereon below grade, streets are constructed in the poorest manner, laid out contrary to the city's interest, and then pressed for acceptance. Houses are built in localities where the price of land is moderate, but where from the swampy nature of the soil, it is impossible to secure any cellars. The city is immediately asked to furnish a remedy and bear the expenses of draining.
I therefore would recommend to the Council to petition General Court for an act establishing a " Board of Survey," to consist of three able and discreet men, who shall have the power to cause to be made under its direction plans of such territory or sections of land as said board may deem necessary, showing thereon the location of such highway, whether laid out or not, as said board shall be of opinion the present or future interests of the public will demand; showing clearly the directions, widths and grades of each highway or proposed highway ; and that no person or corporation shall in this city prepare or open for public travel any way, unless its location, directions, widths and grades are satisfactory to and have been approved by this board.
I believe that the duties of such board should be made a part of the duties of the Park Commissioners.
21
BOARD OF HEALTH.
Under the direction of this board the different brooks have been nearly cleared of their obstructions, and I look forward to decided benefit accruing from this work.
A small appropriation only will be needed the present year to complete the needed improvements in our brooks.
PARKS.
But a small amount of money was placed at the disposal of the Commissioners the past year and the same was expended in building a summer house in Merry Mount Park, also com- pleting a street in Faxon Park. I trust that in the near future we shall be able to expend a large amount upon these natural parks, for they will be greatly prized in the future.
GRADE CROSSINGS.
I call your attention to the important subject which must soon demand your consideration, namely - the abolishment of the grade crossings in our city.
The one on Water street is not only a great hindrance to the business interests, but most dangerous to the public. The daily travel is rapidly increasing, and it is also certain that the railroad traffic will, in the near future, still further menace the lives of our friends and neighbors by the frequency of its train service.
We should either endeavor to abolish the crossing, under the recent act of the Legislature, or petition for permission to build a foot bridge over the railroad.
HOUGHS NECK.
One section of our city deserves more attention from the government than it has heretofore received. I refer to Houghs Neck. It has 102 dwellings; its valuation is $252,650, and pays a tax of $3,436.
It would only seem right and proper that we should light a portion of that section through the summer months ; and also devise a way by which the central station could be informed, if their services were needed in case of a large fire. I trust the Council will consider the needs of this section.
22
WOODWARD FUND.
This fund has been increased during the year by large sales of land and now amounts to $279,585.46. The board of mana- gers will undoubtedly during the year take the necessary steps looking to the erection of another educational institution in our midst.
JOHNSON FUND.
The city holds in trust $2000, and the interest upon the same is annually expended in charitable purposes.
INDUSTRIES.
The rapid increase of our population admonishes us that we should be on the alert to welcome to our midst legitimate and desirable enterprises, so that home employment may be found.
I would therefore recommend that you appoint a committee who would be in readiness to meet all inquiring manufacturers, furnish them with city statistics, information as to land, and the prospect of assistance from our financial men.
Such a committee would also represent the city in the efforts to obtain better railroad facilities and more suitable de- pots.
CENTENNIAL.
On February 23, 1892, occurs the centennial anniversary of the incorporation of the town of Quincy. The joint commit- tee appointed by the Council of 1890 recommends that its cele- bration take place on July 4, 1892, also advising that a memo- rial volume be published.
I also would recommend that the historical places in our city receive our consideration, and a memorial tablet be placed at those points that will link the future with the past.
CONCLUSION.
In conclusion permit me to say that I am grateful for the kind expression of confidence reposed in me by my fellow- citizens by again calling me to direct the executive function of our city, and in the performance of my duties I shall endeavor to be worthy of this mark of approval by bringing to bear u
23
all questions my best judgment, and giving to the citizens a safe, conservative and business-like administration.
I believe that every faithful public official desires intelli- gent criticism and suggestions, to aid him in the performance of his duties for it should ever be kept in mind that the end sought for is the city's welfare.
Astrustees we have been entrusted for a brief period with the management of the city's affairs, and when another year has rolled along may we all feel at the close that we have done the best we could.
" In deeds, not words " may the record of '92 be-one in which every citizen, regardless of party, can take just pride in.
