THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS


In the Year One Thousand Nine Hundred and Twenty-four AN ACT TO PROVIDE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION BY THE METROPOLITAN DISTRICT COMMISSION OF THE PILGRIM PARKWAY IN QUINCY IN THE YEAR NINETEEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FOUR.

B. WHITE WAY RECOMMENDATIONS, APRIL 6, 1923


CITY PLANNING BOARD, QUINCY, MASS., April 6, 1923.


Hon. G. B. BATES, Mayor, and City Council, Quincy, Mass.


GENTLEMEN: - Again at this time we wish to repeat former recom- mendations, more particularly as lately set forth in our last annual report, Appendix D. that portion of the resolve for a White Way bearing upon the removal of public service wires and poles from the business section of Hancock Street. Members of the Council undoubtedly had sufficient


273


REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD


personal evidence of the menace at the recent Greenleaf fire, previously at the Berman fire, and this week when a portion of the Greenleaf roof collapsed.


With the assured project of immediate extensive construction on Han- cock Street to the north of City Square we would extend our recommenda- tion to the junction of Adams Street.


We consider that the artistic result of their removal from one of the finest business squares in the Commonwealth would be sufficient in itself to warrant action. Cannot the present Council move toward starting this improvement before more serious results occur.


Respectfully submitted, CITY PLANNING BOARD, By WILSON MARSH, Chairman.


P. F. O'BRIEN, Clerk.


C. APTHORP STREET QUARRY RECOMMENDATIONS, JUNE 6, 1923


CITY PLANNING BOARD, QUINCY, MASS., June 6, 1923.


Hon. GUSTAVE B. BATES, Mayor, and City Council, Quincy.


GENTLEMEN: - Now that the quarry hole at Apthorp Street, Ward 6, has been filled, it is recommended by this Board that the surfacing of it be completed and that a layout of tennis courts be planned for public use.


For many years the community in this neighborhood has had the nui- sance before it, and it would be a very modest recompense that this be done.


Regarding the quarry pond adjoining this property it is our opinion that this can remain in its present condition until such time as more avail- able areas in the vicinity are filled.


The present condition of this pond is not offensive, in fact, is not unat- tractive, although necessarily fenced in to avoid danger.


Respectfully, CITY PLANNING BOARD, By WILSON MARSH, Chairman.


P. F. O'BRIEN, Clerk.


D. EDWIN STREET, WILSON AVENUE RECOMMENDATIONS, JUNE 6, 1923


CITY PLANNING BOARD, QUINCY, MASS., June 6, 1923.


Hon. GUSTAVE B. BATES, Mayor, and City Council, Quincy.


GENTLEMEN: - It has been brought to our attention that building de- velopments are contemplated in that section of Ward 6 at the end of Wilson Avenue and Edwin Street.


It would appear to be desirable that a layout of Edwin Street, through to Newbury Avenue be made by the city, and that Wilson Avenue be extended to meet Edwin Street.


It is only a question of time when public necessity will demand this, and now is the opportunity to save for the city.


The City Engineer and Board of Survey concur with us as to its expedi- ency at this time.


Respectfully, CITY PLANNING BOARD, By WILSON MARSH, Chairman.


P. F. 'O'BRIEN, Clerk.

E. EDWARDS MEADOW 1. Council Resolve May 7, 1923 CITY OF QUINCY IN COUNCIL . MAY 7, 1923.


No. 183.


Resolved, That the Planning Board be requested to investigate the advisability of the city taking, either by purchase or by right of eminent domain, the land lying in the rear of the buildings on Hancock Street and lying easterly of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad tracks, known as the Edwards Field, for the purpose of establishing parking space for autos or for such other municipal purposes that it might be later on needed for; and it is further


Resolved, That they be requested to furnish the council with data as to the area of said lot and as to the estimated amount of fill which would be required to bring it up to established grades, and also furnish recom- mendations as to the development of said lot together with approaches thereto.


Said report to be furnished in as complete a manner as possible and at the earliest opportunity.

2. Planning Board Report Oct. 26, 1923


CITY PLANNING BOARD, QUINCY, MASS., October 26, 1923.


Hon. GUSTAVE B. BATES, Mayor, and City Council, Quincy.


GENTLEMEN: - In furtherance of request regarding the James Edwards meadow tract for possible use as an automobile park, this Board submits its recommendation that the property be acquired by the city. It is par- ticularly fortunate that there is in the heart of the city such an available plot. Access to it can be planned via Cliveden Street and an exit over property opposite Revere Road, adjoining the Quincy Theatre.


It is undisputable that municipalities must plan for handling this tre- mendous traffic, and undeveloped tracts will save expensive widening of commercial streets to parkways, as in the case of Brockton's Legion Park- way. This property consisting of 260,000 square feet is valued at ap- proximately $35,000. Using 60,000 feet easterly of brook, as per plan herewith submitted, a gravel fill of 3 feet can be laid at an estimate of $10,000. Provision is made in this study of space for 600 cars, with neces- sary roadways on the meadow.


Under excess condemnation the balance of 200,000 feet is at the disposal of the city for commercial purposes or otherwise. A layout of street from School Street opposite Franklin Street to Granite Street would hasten


275


REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD


availability of this land and at the same time invite traffic, already finding its way through Upland Road extension, to continue to the south without again adding to the congestion at the southerly end of Hancock Street.


While the Board realizes the entire proposition is ambitious, it does consider that our city should be abreast of the times in this matter.


The special committee of the Chamber of Commerce is in hearty agree- ment upon this and will so recommend.


Respectfully submitted, CITY PLANNING BOARD, By WILSON MARSH, Chairman.


P. F. O'BRIEN, Clerk.


F. QUESTIONNAIRE METROPOLITAN PLANNING DIVISION


THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS DIVISION OF METROPOLITAN PLANNING


General Questionnaire


1. In your opinion what existing main highways of the Metropolitan District should be straightened or widened or extended to make them more useful cross-district thoroughfares? (Please name the most important of these thoroughfares and also indicate them on the accompanying maps.)


2. Do you think additional new thoroughfares should be created across or around the Metropolitan District? If so, what should be their general location and width?


3. Have you in mind any local street widenings, connections or exten- sions which would make useful links in the present main thoroughfares of the District?


4. Are vehicular viaducts or tunnels needed in the District? If so, where?


5. In your opinion can congestion of highway trucking in the District be reduced :


(1) By additional railway connections between present railway lines; if so, where?


(2) By changes in railway freight yard locations; if so, where?


6. Do you think additional highway bridges will be needed in the Dis- trict at the Mystic, Charles and the Neponset Rivers during the next fifty years? If so, at what points should they probably be located?


7. Have you any suggestions regarding the method of apportioning the cost of constructing and maintaining highways devoted largely to district rather than to local use?


8. Are there other highway problems of the District which, in your opinion, ought to receive consideration by the Planning Division?


9. Do you consider the time ripe for an extension of the surface trolley lines of the District? If so, what extensions or improvements seem to you most important?


10. Are additional subways needed in the District; if so, where?


11. In your opinion how should such subways be financed?


12. In your judgment can any portion of the present steam railway trackage in the District be operated to advantage as a portion of the trolley rapid transit system? If so, what portions, and in what manner? If con- venient, also indicate your suggestions on the map.


13. To what extent, in your opinion, can the operation of motor busses on the highways of the District be made to extend or to improve the serv- ice of the trolleys on feeder lines?


14. What existing trolley lines, if any, can be given up to advantage, and motor bus service substituted?


276


CITY OF QUINCY


15. Please enumerate other trolley, subway and elevated transporta- tion matters which you think should be studied in connection with the larger problems of the District.


16. Do you feel that an extension of the main steam railway lines or branch lines of the District is desirable? If so, at what points?


17. What additional physical connections, if any, are needed, in your judgment, to unite the trackage of the steam railroads of the District either in or near Boston or in the outskirts of the District? Please also indicate approximately on the map.


18. Have you any suggestions for the improvement of the general loca- tion, arrangement or operation of the present passenger steam railway terminals, or of local passenger stations of the District?


19. What general improvements should be made in the location, arrange- ment and operation of the railway freight yards or other railway freight- handling facilities of the District?


20. What portions, if any, of the steam railway lines of the District should be electrified?


21. How should such electrification be financed?


22. Several of the large cities of the country have a freight rate structure providing that incoming or outgoing freight in carload lots, from or to any railroad, will be delivered at the regular rate (that is, without extra switch- ing charges) from or to any freight station in the metropolitan area, irre- spective of the railroad on which the freight station is located. This means that the local switching charges are absorbed in the regular rate. If this plan were adopted for Boston, it would undoubtedly be a great convenience for shippers, but would place an additional burden upon the New England railroads. Under the conditions, do you favor such a plan?


23. In addition to the points suggested above, what other steam rail- road matters of the District ought to receive the attention of the Planning Division?


24. Do you feel that the rivers of the District can be utilized to greater degree for transportation purposes? If so, to what degree and at what points?


25. In your judgment what additional water transportation facilities are needed in the harbors of the District, either to connect railway and steamship lines or to handle the local business of these waterfronts?


26. In reviewing the above questions, reference may seem to be lacking to matters of importance which, in the judgment of the reader, the Metro- politan Planning Division ought to consider in carrying out its work under the act of appointment. It is hoped that the reader will note matters of this kind in the following space which is provided for this purpose.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGERS


The' thirty-fourth annual report of the Board of Managers of the Quincy City Hospital for the year 1923 is herewith presented. It is gratifying to know that this has been one of the most successful years that the hospital has ever had.


Early in the year there was a change in the Board of Managers, and the Mayor, under authority of the City Charter, appointed the following:


279


REPORT OF CITY HOSPITAL


Messrs. Walter F. Nichols, Charles R. Young, John R. Richards, Carl E. Carlson, and William J. Walsh. They organized with Mr. Nichols as chairman and Mr. Young as secretary. Later other changes were made by the resignations of Messrs. Nichols and Walsh. These vacancies were filled by the appointment of Mr. Russell T. Bates and Mr. Frederick F. Green, the latter being elected chairman.


The new service building, which was started late in the year 1922, is nearing completion, and will be ready for occupancy about May 1, 1924. With this new building and its various modern machinery and extensive equipment the cost of operating the hospital will be materially increased.


Miss Katherine Hurley, who had for several years filled the position of superintendent, tendered her resignation January 10, 1923, and Miss Isabelle M. Lumsden, executive assistant, took charge of the hospital until a successor was appointed. The Board of Managers, after interviewing numerous applicants for the position, finally decided upon Miss Etta M. Bagley, who was an assistant at the Massachusetts General Hospital, and was considered to have the necessary qualifications. That no error was made is shown by the excellent results which have been obtained during the year. Miss Bagley has met all our expectations, and she has had the entire confidence and full support of the Board of Managers.


The need of an addition to the hospital to provide for maternity cases has existed for several years, and if the city is to derive the full results and benefits of this institution, provision should be promptly made for this addition. We shall expect the co-operation of the City Council to enable us to bring about speedy results.


During the year there have been two changes made in the staff. Dr. George M. Sheahan and Dr. Harold M. Diehl both tendered their resig- nations. Dr. John T. Reynolds was advanced to fill the vacancy made by the resignation of Dr. Sheahan, and Dr. James H. Cook, being very highly recommended, was appointed as associate surgeon.


There had been for a long time the need of a suitable ambulance at the hospital, as the one in use was entirely unfitted as a conveyance for the sick and injured. It frequently became disabled while out on cases, and finally collapsed beyond reasonable repair and was discarded. A new one was purchased of a standard make which is used by many of the best hospitals. It is a credit to the city and is in more frequent use. The cost, including the old one, was $2,500.


The managers call your particular attention to the excellent financial showing made by the hospital during this year.


The Board of Managers extends thanks to the Quincy Hospital Aid Association as well as the Wollaston Hospital Aid Association for their co-operation and assistance during the past years. We extend thanks to. all others who have in any way assisted the hospital during the past year.


Very respectfully,


FREDERICK F. GREEN, Chairman, CHARLES R. YOUNG, Secretary, CARL E. CARLSON, JOHN R. RICHARDS, RUSSELL T. BATES,


Board of Managers.
