Municipal Garage: The need of a municipal or central garage for the housing and care of the City's automobiles requires no explanation on my part. To buy expensive automobiles, and pieces of machinery used in connection with them, and so forth, and then allow them to stand without proper housing or shelter, where they rapidly deteriorate, is a wasteful expenditure, and no sane business man, in the conduct of his own business, would permit such wasteful methods.
Convenience or Comfort Stations: The necessity for the immediate construction of at least two convenience stations is apparent to all who have given this matter any thought, and those who are inclined to overlook the facts have had them brought forcibly to their attention by acts that have been committed in and about our streets on account of lack of proper accommodations having been provided. I recommend that one conven- ience station be constructed in or near City Square and the other at Hough's Neck. This is a subject that the Planning Board should study if they have not already done so, and I shall confer with them at once relative to this matter.
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC BURIAL PLACES
The Commissioner of this Department has repeatedly asked that additional land be bought for the enlargement of Mount Wollaston Ceme- tery, and I trust that when definite plans are presented to you relative to this matter they will have your careful consideration.
OTHER DEPARTMENTS
There are several of the Departments to which I have made no specific reference or recommendation, particularly the Department of the Overseer

MAYOR'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS
of the Poor, the Police and Fire Departments, the offices of the City Clerk and Treasurer, the Assessors' and Tax Collector's Office, the Departments of Building Inspection, Sealer of Weights and Measures, the Planning Board, Board of Survey, Public Library, etc.
While I am more or less familiar with the operation of these depart- ments and offices, I feel that I should make a more thorough study of them before I offer any suggestions or recommendations for their future conduct.
In conclusion I want to say to you, gentlemen, that, other opinions to the contrary, I feel that the affairs and management of this City can be conducted in the same efficient and economical way that a private business or corporation is managed, and that if anyone employed by the City is under the impression that he is privileged as a City employee to spend the City's time or money without giving a return equivalent to the expenditure involved, he is laboring under a delusion that will be very quickly dispelled.
Personally I cannot allow this opportunity to pass without thanking the citizens of Quincy for the honor that they have conferred upon me, and I shall work earnestly to merit the confidence and trust that they have placed in me.
I ask at this time that we be granted knowledge, strength, and power to execute in an impartial manner, and by efficient and economical methods, the affairs of the City entrusted to our care.
I ask of the citizens that they give us their co-operation and support, as well as their advice and constructive criticism, that we may all work together for the good of the City of Quincy.
