I intend to use every effort in my power to bring about the further construction of parkways and boulevards in our city by the Metropolitan Park Commission.
I shall also make an effort to get the Highway Commission to take Randolph avenue, which is wholly within the Park Reservation, and I may be obliged to ask your cooperation to help along this work.
I called to the attention of the Council of last year the statute passed by the Legislature requiring cities and towns to pass regulations regarding the speed of electric cars and the use of tracks by street railway companies within the city limits. I regret that the last Council did not dispose of this matter, and I call your attention to the necessity of at once considering this subject and enacting an ordinance complying with the statute.
I regret also that the Councils in the past have not taken up and considered the subject of City Forester and Inspector of
. Wires. In a rapidly growing city such as ours the number of wires and poles in our streets increases greatly from year to year. If we expect to have anything left of our shade trees, it is of the utmost importance for the Council of this year to do
20
something in the way of appointing a proper officer to give his entire time and attention to this subject.
In conclusion, I would say that our duties may often be difficult and perplexing. Let us bring to them the care and attention to detail which we should use in our own affairs. While we must encourage and assist in the development of the city, we should be conservative. Whatever wise thing we do in our management of the city affairs will surely redound to our own individual credit. We have selected Quincy as our abiding place ; most of us will probably live here for a long time to come, and anything which we do in our public capacity will be better done if we have in mind what our fellow citizens will think of us in other years.
We shall now be brought closely in contact, and I look forward confidently to a year of harmony between the executive and legislative departments. Let each one of us give his neigh- bor credit for absolute honesty in his views and opinions on all questions and we shall reach the end of our service with mutual respect and satisfaction.
