The Budget
I am pleased to report that the departmental budgets adopted in March, 1927, have been very closely maintained during the year. At the outset I was hoping that we might achieve our purpose as to the running expenses of the year so that there would be no necessity of additional budgets. Fortunately, we have been able to get through the year with but extremely few and unimportant supplementary grants. Consequently I have high hopes that in 1928 the efficiency of the budget method will be still further in- creased so that there will be no possibility of adding to the original amounts except for unforeseen extraordinary contingencies.
As we budget for current needs so I hope we may also budget for those exceptional matters that must be taken care of through loans. It is extremely advisable for the members of the Council and the Mayor to know early in the year just what is contemplated to be done, and after we have made our program, to adhere to it. Of course some allowance will have to be made because of the fact that our resources are not completely in hand in the early part of
11
INAUGURAL ADDRESS
the year and consequently some of the needs that are contemplated must wait until credits are available. If, however, the planning is done the fulfilment of the schedule can be based on the money available at a certain time. We did this exceedingly well last year and I am asking for the co-operation of the Council in carrying out a similar program this year.
The Southern Artery
During the year the Southern Artery has been completed and the first installment of the City's payment totalling $113,600 has been paid. I assume that another assessment will be made on the City during the coming year, and as was the custom in financ- ing the first assessment, a new bond issue will probably be neces- sary. Under date of December 20, 1927, Mr. William F. Williams, Commissioner of Public Works, informs the City that the work on the Southern Artery has been completed and that under the terms of the Act this street now becomes a public way of the City. I regret that I have not the final figures of the engineer in charge as to the total cost of this work, but will, as soon as they are received, send them to the City Council. The Council has granted permis- sion to the Quincy Electric Light and Power Company to lay con- duits and wires in the Southern Artery, and early in the New Year orders will be given for the lighting of this highway. By this letter of the Commission, a new highway reaching from Hancock street to Quincy avenue is thereby placed under the control of the City of Quincy with all the attendant expenses of lighting, polic- ing and maintenance.
Police Department
The Police Department remains practically as organized at the beginning of 1927. Increasing demands are made upon this de- partment for services, particularly to school children. But I hope that with the elimination of officers heretofore necessary at traffic points, that the men formerly on this important work may be available for other duties. With the present number of men and the cost of maintaining the department I do not think it advisable to add to this cost unless conditions make such additions neces- sary. Traffic work has heretofore taken many of the men and as a consequence the department has been pressed to the limit in order to satisfy the increasing demands for service in different sections. But I trust that with the co-operation of the Chief of the Depart- ment and its members that we may take care of these demands without the necessity of adding to the personnel. During the year a very pleasing change has been made in the management of the department through the designation of the Captain for night duty. In a city the size of Quincy and with night conditions as they are in all cities there should be some one on duty who will be able to respond to any emergency which might arise. This has been taken care of by the change recently made.
Fire Department
Quincy has been fortunate in that it has not been menaced by any extraordinary fires. Our prayer is that this condition will long persist. I believe, however, that when things are tranquil and we are going along in an even and uneventful way, we should make
12
CITY OF QUINCY
some preparation for contingencies that may arise. The Depart- ment at the present time is controlled by one permanent chief and three district engineers serving on a part-time basis. Such an arrangement cannot go on indefinitely and I hope that before the year is out that steps may be taken to give the department a per- manent Assistant Chief for night service. Experience shows con- clusively that the fire menace is always greatest during the night and consequently the control of the department during these hours should be in strong and capable hands. The present arrangement is thoroughly unsatisfactory. To remedy it may provoke some controversy, but I believe that the best interests of the City demand that some of the present personnel be trained for executive work in this extremely important public service. Millions of dollars in property and many lives depend for their safety upon a well drilled and efficient fire department. I have no criticism to make of the efficiency of the present department. I simply feel that a depart- ment with such responsibility should be under the control at night of an officer thoroughly trained in his work and capable of hand- ling any problem that may arise out of a conflagration. This mat- ter will be brought to the Council in concrete form very early in the year, and means found to give the department the services of an Assistant Chief.
Increase in Indebtedness
I regret that the total indebtedness of the year exceeds the total at the beginning of 1927 by $102,000, but the increase is due wholly to the assessment for the Southern Artery. The aim the past year was to keep the total amount of debt at the Jan. 1, 1927, figure, but this extra item for the new highway upset these plans. Of the other debt created, every dollar has been expended in en- tending our sewer and water systems, and for new streets, and the new school in Ward Two. The total debt on Jan. 1, 1928, is $5,180,- 000. During 1928 the City will amortize $442,500 of debt.
As we look ahead for 1928 we may think of the demands of the year and as to how these demands will affect the total debt a year hence. To begin with we have our appropriation for new streets which amounts to $125,000. In addition to this item the other accounts may be summarized as follows:
Sewer construction
$80,000 or $100,000
New bridge and widening of West Squantum street.
50,000
School buildings
300,000
Hospital addition
200,000
Item of new streets stated above
125,000
$755,000
Debt maturing during year
442,500
Increase during 1928
$312,500
Debt Jan. 1, 1928
5,180,000
Debt Jan. 1, 1929.
$5,492,500
If the City should authorize the loans here summarized it would mean that the total debt would have been increased in two years- Jan. 1, 1927, to Jan. 1, 1929-by the sum of $414,500. This is rather a stupendous figure and before agreeing to such a program I think we should earnestly and diligently inquire into our ability
13
INAUGURAL ADDRESS
to meet the obligation created by the debt. To meet the debt maturities of 1928 will require approximately $3.50 per thousand of our present valuation, with the interest charge taking a little less. than $2 additional. Economic and industrial conditions in Quincy do not warrant an increase in the tax rate, and I am certain of the help of the Council in meeting the necessities of this year without adding to the taxpayers' burden. Building operations have been very satisfactory the past year, but the total of new wealth will be less than $6,000,000. With this sum we must finance an increase in the school and some departmental budgets, and at the same time provide for matters that unexpectedly come to the surface in every year. The problem is not easy, but with hope and confidence we may assume to work it out in a satisfactory way.
Tax Collection Slow
By a reference to one part of the financial statement here given it will be seen that the tax collections for the year were far from satisfactory. Our record for years in this particular has been one of the poorest in the State and this year has been no better than its predecessors. We collected on the 1927 levy slightly better than 56 per cent. The record is disappointing since the November totals promised that we might better the average of other years. But the result is so poor that I am forced to bring the matter to the attention of the Council and the public. The fault is not due to carelessness or indifference on the part of the collector. Year after year effort has been made to collect the taxes, but a pecu- liarly Quincy custom has balked the best intentions of all ad- ministrations. Delayed payments of taxes cost the city thousands of dollars annually through temporary loan obligations and interest which is in no measure offset by the interest charges on overdue bills. Our position in this regard has been severely criticized by the State authorities, and consequently I am forced to take every means to clear up this dead weight of uncollected taxes. By this year's sales the City did realize on much of the outstanding amounts up to the 1926 levy, with the result that the relatively small sum of $37,072.26 only remains unpaid. In the early months of this year attempts will be made to collect as much as possible of this sum, and also the remaining sums due of 1927. Attention must be called, however, to the seriousness of a condition whereby only 56 per cent of the City's income is collected in the year of levy. If the City could collect its taxes promptly the City Gov- ernment would not be lacking in means to further some of the projects necessary to the welfare of the community. One of our main efforts this year will be to collect these outstanding taxes.
During the year a great deal of attention has been given to old tax titles, and doubtful or dubious bills. The result of this effort has been gratifying in that a fairly good sum has been realized from bills that seemed almost hopeless. This work has been done by a young lawyer specially skilled in this field, and the final result of the labor will be a rather handsome sum in back taxes, and the further advantage of a clear title to some of the property. Once this title is acquired the City may sell to bona fide owners.
Again I want to thank the members of the Council for the pleasant relations which have existed the past year, and to hope that this ideal situation may carry through the present year. Dif- ferences of opinion and of points of view will always be found in
14
CITY OF QUINCY
any body of citizens, but these should in no sense mar personal or official relations, or frustrate our common purpose to labor for the best interests of the City. In carrying forward these interests I pledge the Council my active and earnest support.
In concluding this summary I am pleased to recognize the splendid achievements of the department heads, particularly the commissioner of public works, the superintendents of the sewer and water departments and the City engineers and their staffs. They all met their responsibilities so commendably that I cannot allow this time to pass without publicly acknowledging my indebt- edness to them for the accomplishments of the year.
Appended to this statement are tables showing certain financial facts concerning the City.
