During the past year Quincy has come into prominence as the scene of the Harvard Aviation Meet held at Atlantic ; thousands of people were attracted to the city and could not have failed to recognize our proximity to Boston and the rapid transportation facilities therefrom to Quincy. Situated in the Metropolitan District, within five miles of the State House, Quincy is in direct line for immediate development, both as a place of residence and as a commercial centre.
In our report of last year we commented on the increased
183
land development and building activity ; the table of compari- sons submitted herewith shows an increased taxable valuation in this regard of over $800,000 for the year 1910.
The valuation of taxable personal property has increased over $1,650,000 during the past year, the total valuation being $7,466,855 as against $5,813,040 in 1909.
The fact that the Senate of the United States favors the appropriation of $140,000 for the purpose of dredging the Weymouth Fore River emphasizes the fact that the water front of Quincy presents a splendid opportunity for the establish- ment of manufactures. Quincy has over twenty-two miles of water front, about twelve of which are adapted to the purpose of commerce and navigation, which, if developed, would bring Quincy in direct trade relations with Boston, New York, and other trade markets of the country.
Respectfully submitted,
WARREN W. ADAMS, JOHN A. DUGGAN, ALEXANDER FALCONER,
Assessors of the City of Quincy.

ENFORCEMENT OF THE LIQUOR LAW
The enforcement of the liquor law has for the second year been under the charge of Acting Inspector Alfred W. Goodhue and has been carried on with unabated vigor and ceaseless activity. I again recommend that this position be made a permanent one with an increase in salary that should go with it.
