The number of electricians doing work in this city for the year 1933 have increased 241/4 % over the previous year.
The total number of inspections increased 171/2% over the previous year.
In co-operation with Chief Sands of the Fire Department, this office has re-inspected 59 premises (old installations) in which fire occurred, some caused by defective wiring. High resistance grounds seemed to be the trouble in most cases. By enforce- ment of the National Electric Code, Article 9, Section 904-C, that we put into effect February 10, 1933, we feel we will eliminate this hazard to a great extent.
With the co-operation of Fred Erickson, Inspector of Buildings, and Chief Sands, we have located 28 oil burners installed without a permit from this office. Of these, 16 burners had to be re-wired, as they did not comply with the National Electric Code or the rules of this Department. Also, we were able to locate a number of alterations and additional small wiring jobs that otherwise would have been done without any permit or inspection.
In spite of the increased burdens imposed on this office we were able, to a great extent, to care for re-inspection as requested by the electrical contractors. We have on file a letter from the Secretary of the Quincy Master Electrical Contractors' Associa- tion expressing approval of the manner in which these inspec- tions have been made, and stating further that, in their estima- tion, at least $5,000.00 additional work had been created due to this service.
In closing, I might say that a systematic re-inspection survey throughout the city, such as is now in progress in many of the cities in the country, would very materially reduce the hazard of fire and personal injury. To do this, of course, would mean the employment of at least one additional man.
Very truly yours,
FRANK LINTS, Inspector of Wires.

REPORT OF CITY PLANNING BOARD
REPORT OF THE CITY PLANNING BOARD
To His Honor the Mayor and Members of the City Council:
GENTLEMEN :- We herewith submit the nineteenth annual report of the City Planning Board for the year ending December 31, 1933.
Consideration has been given to the study of several highway projects with the view towards eliminating traffic congestion. These projects have been studied together with the Metropolitan Planning Board.
TRAFFIC CIRCLES AT NEPONSET BRIDGE
Plans have been prepared showing a traffic circle on the north side of Neponset Bridge to serve the Gallivan Boulevard, Nepon- set Avenue and the Old Colony Boulevard, and also a traffic circle on Hancock Street at its intersection with the Quincy Shore Boule- vard at the location which was formerly Atlantic Street.
These two circles would be great factors in eliminating the con- gestion in this location as Neponset Bridge is one of the heaviest traveled bridges in the country. By actual count on a busy day 70,000 vehicles crossed this structure, and it was estimated that 18,000,000 cars pass over this structure during the year.
This board recommends the construction of these two circles for the benefit of relieving the congestion at these centers.
HIGHWAY FROM SEA STREET TO SOUTHERN ARTERY
This board has previously recommended a by-pass of the South- ern Artery from a point at Field Street and Brackett Street pass- ing over Field Street in front of the Quincy Electric Light & Power Plant, thence in the rear of the City Stables, across a part of the Broad Meadows and extending to Sea Street opposite Quincy Shore Boulevard.
This new highway would tend to relieve congestion at the Police . Station on Sea Street, thereby allowing traffic to travel either on the Southern Artery to Hancock Street or Quincy Shore Boule- vard. This highway has been given a great deal of consideration by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Public Works Department and is now before the State Emergency Relief Board for their consideration
This highway would improve traffic conditions and also tend to develop a portion of the Broad Meadows.
SOUTHERN ARTERY BY-PASS
There have been several studies in the past few years on by- passing the Southern Artery from a point north of River Street following Town River and terminating on Washington Street at Dee Road. Several locations have been studied and at the present time consideration is being given to the location utilizing Follett Street (formerly Newcomb Avenue), Avalon Avenue, and Dee Road entering the circle at the new Fore River Bridge.
210
CITY OF QUINCY
Plans are made establishing a circle on Washington Street at Dee Road into which this by-pass would terminate. This location would not interfere with the industrial development of Town River, would require removal of very few dwellings and reduce the ex- pense of this construction.
SOUTHERN ROUTE TO MILTON
Studies are being made for a proposed highway extending from the circle at Washington Street and Dee Road, westerly to Des Moines Road, thence to Water Street at the Quincy Adams Grade Crossing.
On the extension from this point two locations are being consid- ered, namely: following Water Street and Copeland Street through Miller Street crossing the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad west of the West Quincy Station, crossing Grove Street between Ferriter Street and Forrest Avenue, terminating at Pleas- ant Street opposite Readsdale Road, Milton. The other location bears southerly from the Quincy Adams Grade Crossing passing between Water Street and Liberty Street, through the intersection of Intervale Street and Nightingale Avenue, north of Brooks Ave- nue at the Lincoln School and crossing Center Street at Albertina Street, crossing the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, north of the Old Colony Crushed Stone Plant, where it will be pos- sible for an overhead pass, opening a new territory from this point to West Street at Bunker Hill Avenue, thence over the Bunker Hill Quarry Railroad location to Pleasant Street at Readsdale Road, Milton.
The construction of this highway would make it possible to con- nect Hillside Street in Milton to it, providing a direct outlet from Quincy to Dedham and points west.
In connection with this we recommend Granite Street be widened from Hancock Street to Scotch Pond Road and a new extension from this point to School Street at Fort Street, thus making use of Brook Road to connect to this highway at Intervale Street, thereby getting direct access to and from Quincy Center.
Through the cooperation of the Metropolitan Planning Board we have on file plans of these four projects at our office, Room 32, in City Hall.
We also have upon file a photograph of the $60,000 new station of the Metropolitan Sewer Commission. Although this is in Ward One and but two miles from the heart of the city, we doubt if one person in a thousand has seen this plant which is destined not only to care for the needs of Merrymount, Adams Shore, Post Island and Rye Beach, but will handle eventually the requirements of Braintree and Weymouth.
Improvements by the Metropolitan Park Department consisting of the straightening and resurfacing of Wampatuck Road from Furnace Brook Parkway into the reservation and the construction of an outlook capable of the care of 40 cars will be appreciated. We further recommend that the Metropolitan Park Department co- operate with the directors of St. Moritz to secure an outlet for the existing St. Moritz parking space to the Parkway.
It would seem at this time plans might mature for the construc- tion of a municipal garage at the Water Division plant on Penn Street to relieve storage at City Stables.
A minor suggestion is that the city acquire an approach for footpath from Sea Street to the Adams Shore School, and the Gen- eral Palmer branch library. This would make a direct communi- cation from the street car line for those who have not the benefit
211
REPORT OF CITY PLANNING BOARD
of their own cars. A distinctive falling off in the use of the library branch has been noted this season, since its removal from Sea Street.
The good work in covering the brooks of the city can well be continued, particularly in the center section of West Quincy.
An omission from our previous report we submit herewith. With the cooperation of four representatives from the local Boy Scouts, a foot traffic count was made at one point covering the pedes- trians both ways on each sidewalk, Hancock Street to Granite Street, one hour, Saturday, 7-8 P.M.

The following streets were retained for further consideration:
Greenleaf Place, Hancock Terrace, Merrymount Terrace and Rogers Street.
The Board having jurisdiction over unaccepted streets only would suggest that the City Council appoint a committee to consider the changing of duplicate names on accepted streets to complete this work.
The changes made by the Board were duly recorded in the Nor- folk Registry of Deeds as required by law.
During the year the Board approved the plans of two streets on the petition of Henry M. Faxon on land off Quincy Avenue. On September 19, 1933, the Board approved the plan of Mortimer Circle and on October 23, 1933, the Board approved the plan of Hardwick Road.

REPORT OF CITY PHYSICIAN
REPORT OF CITY PHYSICIAN
To His Honor, the Mayor of the City of Quincy:
I beg to submit the following report for the services rendered by the City Physicians for the year ending 1933. This report is in accordance with the City Ordinance.
The year has been a very busy one for this department. With- out question, more work has been called upon to be performed by this department during this period than for any year since the founding of the city, due to the financial condition confronting the City, State and Federal governments.
At the beginning of the year the number of patients was so great that it was impossible, with any degree of efficiency, to care for the sick, and it was therefore deemed advisable to have daily clinics at the dispensary, the dispensary being used to save the city the cost of renting additional space which was not available in any of the city-owned property. During the winter months the clinic ran, many days, over 100 patients and rarely less than 40 patients per day. With the spring and summer and the inaugura- tion of the various forms of Federal and State Aid, the Welfare list having become smaller, the number cared for at the clinic de- creased substantially. With the fall and coming winter, the severe weather increased the size of the clinic. Many days it was impossi- ble to maintain the clinic with the efficiency desired due to the lack of space at the dispensary, both for the patients to wait their turn and the examining and treatment rooms. In all I feel with the available quarters and equipment, we were able to give better serv- ice to the sick than they would have received had the clinic been maintained at the offices of the City Physician.
I would recommend at this time that as soon as the governing body of the city deems it advisable they increase the facilities so that more forms of treatment and service may be given at the clinic, taking this added burden from the City Hospital, the hospi- tal not being equipped for "Out Patient" treatment.
There were 5,462 house calls made. There was a total of 7,406 patients cared for at the clinic, of which 3,840 were men, 2,102 women and 1,464 children. At the Quincy City Hospital there were 199 cared for which are classified as "Out Patients," in the house there were 249 surgical cases, 94 medical cases, 128 obstet- rical cases, 50 pediatric cases, 218 aural cases and 8 dental cases. There were three deaths and five were cared for at the hospital from the City Home.
There were 63 calls made to the Police Station and 84 were vac- cinated for the School Department.
In conclusion, I wish to thank the nurses in the Health Depart- ment for their own time given to help in the clinic and I also wish to thank Mrs. Hazel Gifford for her untiring services.
Respectfully submitted,
ISRAEL EDELSTEIN, M.D., City Physician, 52 Elm Street.
