REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
January 1, 1920.
To His Honor the Mayor, and Members of the City Council,
Gentlemen: The City Planning Board herewith submits its fifth annual report.
A vacancy upon the Board was filled by the appointment of Charles H. Finn to succeed Eugene C. Hultman who had removed from the City.
The board organized by re-electing Wilson Marsh, Chairman and City Engineer P. F. O'Brien, Clerk.
There have been nine regular meetings held.
The much desired co-operation of the City Council was given a start at one of our earlier meetings by the attendance of Messrs. McGrath, Bass and Scott, a committee appointed to consider recommendations in our 1918 report.
Many subjects which we consider vital are still pending, among them added City Hall facilities and a Comfort Station. We cannot add more to our urgent recommendations for these than has already been done in previous reports.
A drainage plan for surface waters has been completed by the City Engineer. It is embodied in an 8 foot plan, covering not only the present drainage system but the proposed and necessary subsequent extensions.
The Legislature has acceded to Quincy's appeal for the missing link of the Furnace Brook Parkway and the work has progressed as far as the season will permit.
An appropriation has been provided for the tidegate at the outlet of Black's Creek and work will probably be started in the early Spring. In connection with the latter we renew our proposition that the City provide with our Park Board for a footbridge to Pine Island giving access for the Public to this beauty spot which will have tide water upon its beach for all time.
We have made arrangements for the 2000 White Pines obtained from the State Forestry Department to be set out at the beginning of the season in Faxon Park.
We have been interested to study intensively plans which have been proposed for addition to the High School. The urgency of this is on a par with others mentioned above and we consider it within the province of this board to pass its opinion upon such plan or plans as may be sub- mitted hereafter by the constituted authorities.
In the matter of the annex to City Hall the board passed favorably by a vote of three to two at the time this matter was under discussion.
It has been an added pleasure and honor to present our views upon several occasions to the Chamber of Commerce and shall hope the coming season that we may exchange views upon such topics as may arise bearing upon the general welfare of the City.
A white way for the business section was favorably considered and the subject of a permanent band stand at Merrymount Park approved in response to communication from the secretary of the Chamber.
We shall at an early date again make request of the City Council that a building line be placed upon North Street. It is the least the City can do to express its good will toward the proposition coming before the General Court of 1920 regarding the Pilgrim Parkway.
224
225
REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD
The Building line upon Franklin Street is in line with the original study of this board, planning suitable width for the main arteries of the City.
Regarding the extension of Furnace Brook Parkway it must be appar- ent to anyone familiar with the locality that the end of the present extension is entirely unsatisfactory. We are no sooner through desiring that this portion of the Parkway be constructed than we shall begin to look forward to its direct extension to the Quincy Shore Boulevard. Newport Avenue with its accompanying street railway track must necessarily be carried over this Parkway. We do not see necessity for delay to await completion of the four track system of the New Haven road.
Despite the expense of the proposed new subway at Wollaston it can but be a benefit to the public in that section of the City.
At a conference of representatives of the Planning Board with Mr. Harvey H. Pratt, chairman of the Pilgrim Memorial Highway Association, which was also attended by His Honor the Mayor, Rev. A. L. Hudson of the Quincy Historical Society and Mr. F. E. Tupper, a plan of the old "Country Way" was studied and some eighteen points of historical inter- est were located upon it. This is being published in anticipation of the Pilgrim Tercentenary.
The annual conference of Mass. Planning Boards called by His Excel- lency Governor Coolidge, December 12th was attended by Messrs. Marsh, Palmer and Finn of this Board. These conferences have always been found helpful and it is the desire of the board that the next annual confer- ence may be held in Quincy.
At our meeting in February a resolution was passed expressing our sincere respect for the late Albert H. Wright whose skill is perpetuated in many public buildings of the City.
The Public Service Commission, as one of the last duties of its exist- ence, on Nov. 29th handed down its decree upon the Quincy Grade Crossing findings thereby completing the final step in enabling the N. Y. N. H. & H. R. R. to proceed with the actual work.
Even with the discontinuance of war activities at our shipyards there are many developments looking for a prosperous year 1920. A great Dry Dock at the Fore River and the works of the Massachusetts Oil Co. near- bye, stand out among these.
We are submitting in this report, for a frontispiece, a photograph of the very artistic Neighborhood Club House and accompanying it the plot from which it arose. We cannot give a more striking example of the improve- ment of a plot of wild land. It speaks for itself.
Accompanying our plan of the Faxon Playground we are presenting a photographic view in hopes that at some time in the not too far distant future we may present another view from the same point showing its improvement.
Through the courtesy of Mr. Herbert J. Kellaway we are publishing a plan of Victory Park.
Last but not least of our endeavors we present a complete plan and profile of the proposed new Pilgrim Parkway which we shall do our utmost to have accepted by this incoming Legislature, in pursuance of the joint recommendation of the former Highway and Metropolitan Park Commis- sions, which was referred from the Legislature of 1919 to 1920.
This plan has been very carefully executed and includes profile showing the grades and notations of the various stages of construction and possi- bilities throughout its entire length.
Construction of the Pershing Boulevard through the Adams Estate at Merrymount is the first stage for the coming year.
By permitting the Edison Company to enter Quincy in connection
226
CITY OF QUINCY
with the Quincy Electric Light Co., the city will indirectly secure light and power from the Connecticut River.
In the opinion of this board the extensive rebuilding of Hancock Street should extend from City Square to Neponset Bridge in connection with the renewal of tracks by the Street Railway Co. This would give sufficient width of street throughout its entire length for necessary travel and im- provements for its entire width can be possible at later stages.
When reconstruction of Hancock Street is undertaken all wires, where possible, should be put underground and poles eliminated.
The Pilgrim Parkway of the Housing Corporation has been completed the past year.
We are presenting a view from near the top of Merrymount showing construction under way and the present shore boulevard in the background. Our slogan should be "Merrymount to Plymouth Rock." With 241,620 automobiles already registered in the State up to Dec. Ist we can see that Quincy Square must be relieved. It has been apparent enough for the past several years but even with the widening of Washington Street we can see that comfort and safety will be out of question another season through the Square.
These new plans of the Pilgrim Parkway are on exhibition at the Public Library and at the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce.
Respectfully submitted,
CITY PLANNING BOARD.
WILSON MARSH, Chairman, EZEKIEL C. SARGENT, JAMES E. W. GEARY, EDWARD E. PALMER, CHARLES H. FINN.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
To His Honor, the Mayor of the City of Quincy:
The forty-ninth annual report of the Trustees of the Thomas Crane Public Library is herewith presented.
The Board is gratified that it can "point with pride" to the accomplishment of 1919 in Library work and that it sees no occa- sion to "view with alarm" any conditions which confront it.
The choice of Mr. Truman R. Temple a year ago as Librarian proved a happy one. Under his management the advance of the Library has been phenomenal. Not only have two new branches at Quincy Point and Wollaston been established in addition to those at West Quincy and Atlantic but the schoolhouses in the different wards have been made centres for the distribution of books. The co-operation of the Library with the Schools has been a marked feature of the present administration. The increase in circulation the past year, especially in the Children's Room, has been remarkable. The extension of the open stack system until it now embraces the entire Library has been much appreciated by the public. The Librarian's annual report which deals more at length with the points above alluded to will be found interesting reading.
Early in the summer the Trustees thought it wise to buy the land and building heretofore leased for the use of the West Quincy Branch together with a strip of adjoining land which will give opportunity for enlargement of present quarters when need arises, the funds for the purchase being derived from a part of the land damages awarded the Library by the city when Washington Street was widened.
A little later a good chance presented itself to acquire the Laban Pratt property adjoining the Library lot and this was done. Ultimately this land will be thrown into the Library grounds, thus improving the proportions of the present lot and enhancing the beauty of the Library building. It was the intention of Mr. Albert Crane, to whose liberality the city is greatly indebted, to make

this purchase. Hence it seems fitting that a portion of his bequest to the Library should be devoted to this purpose which was done.
Through the kindness of Mrs. Emily E. White, the Library has received the gift of one thousand dollars, the income to be devoted to establishing a music fund in memory of her sister, Miss Alice G. White, whose long service as Librarian will not be soon forgotten.
Just as the Board was completing the year's labors, the sad news was received of the death of one of its members, Mr. Harry W. Read of Atlantic, who had had the good of the Library much at heart and had been indefatigable as Chairman of the Administra- tion Committee in promoting its interests. Many other organ- izations and a wide circle of friends mourn the loss of a genial associate and warm-hearted, generous man.
The Trustees realize that the be-all and end-all of the Library is to provide the public with books. That has been their chief thought in the months past and will continue to be in the future.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES R. SAFFORD, Chairman, ELIZABETH H. ALDEN, Secretary,
For the Trustees.
