Furthermore, the fixing of the tax rate is only an incident not an object of the assessors. They are sworn to assess the property of the city according to law ; they should do that and let the tax rate take care of itself.
I hope to be able to notify you soon of the appointment of a Board of Assessors who will make their assessment in harmony with these views. It will take more time and labor than is usually devoted to the task, but I trust that the result will be satisfactory.
Committee on the Welfare of the City.
I would recommend that the Council appoint a Committee on the Welfare of the City. Such a committee could exercise the duties of a Board of Trade in considering matters pertaining to the good of our fellow-citizens, such as the establishment of new industries, methods of attracting residents or capital, and other things which might tend to improve our situation finan- cially or our conveniences as inhabitants. This committee could be a centre to which members of the Council and other public- spirited citizens might come with suggestions and advice, and more particularly with news of approaching business changes in other places, and of intended enterprises in the business world. Among other things, it might well begin by an effort to get better train service and better depot accommodations from the
21
N. Y., N. H. and H. R. R. I think that this last benefit could be attained if a concentrated and determined effort were made.
A hundred years ago the people of Quincy all knew each other and were neighbors. To-day no one man here knows more than a small fraction of our population; but that should not make us any the less neighbors. We are all members of the corporation of the City of Quincy, and have been selected to manage its business for 1899 with an eye to the welfare of the whole city.
As the executive authority, it will be my duty to carry out the orders of the Council and to expend with promptness and economy the moneys appropriated for the various departments. If, during the year which has now begun, occasion should un- fortunately arise when we differ in opinion, be assured that I shall be guided in my action only by a sense of what I owe to historic Quincy.
I shall never lose sight of the affection which I have for the place in which I was born and in which I have spent most of the years of my active life.
