CITY OF QUINCY
master with the rank of Captain, whose duty it will be to properly train the members of our department in modern methods of fire fighting. I recommend to you that at least one officer be sent to New York to take the ninety-day course at their drill school, as has been done by other nearby cities. At the present time we have no private, lieutenant or captain in the department who is a graduate of a recognized drill school. I quote from the last recommendations of the National Board of Fire Underwriters- "That a suitable drill tower and necessary equipment be pro- vided and instruction given all members in the use of all appli- ances, life saving, etc. All drills to be in charge of a competent officer who shall have graduated from some modern drill school."
The Chief of the New York Fire Department has offered this service at no cost to our city, except meals and laundry service, due to the fact that the officer attending would be assigned to an engine or ladder company at night and be at the drill school daily from 9:00 to 5:00. Inasmuch as the Boston Drill School is not operating, it seems that the finest possible education along these lines can best be obtained in New York.
Since there has been no survey made in Quincy by the Board of Fire Underwriters since 1927, and many improvements have been made during the intervening years, I shall ask for a new survey in the spring of the year, believing that the city may be re-rated, and lower the cost of Fire Insurance for every person carrying that type of insurance. The expenditures of the past should be more than justified if a substantial saving can be made for our citizens.
I recommend that older members of this department, whose physical condition will not allow them to properly carry out their hazardous work, apply for retirement under the laws governing pensions, and relinquish their duties to younger men in the de- partment. The very nature of Fire Department work requires the full strength of an able bodied man, both in the officers and members, and while we dislike to lose the services of veterans in the department, they must see as I do the advantage of the city in receiving full value for expenditures made in compensation to members.
Strict discipline must be observed in this department just as in the Police Department. Close cooperation must exist between the superior officers and the men who serve with them. Monthly conferences should be held by the Chief with his officers to estab- lish confidence in one another, and through cooperative efforts improve efficiency. It should be remembered that no man is so proficient in his duties that there is not an opportunity for im- provement. I charge this department with strict adherence to rules and regulations, to the end that the excellent fashion in which its duties have been performed may reach still higher levels.

INAUGURAL ADDRESS BY MAYOR THOMAS S. BURGIN
PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT
The accomplishments during the past six months of 1935 in this department show the re-establishment of the school dental pro- gram throughout every school in the city in the first grade; adop- tion of a regulation requiring more adequate sterilization of glasses and other eating and drinking utensils at establishments where foods and drinks are dispensed; cooperating with the State Department of Public Health and Department of Pedia- trics, Harvard Medical School, in a study on the effect of pla- cental extract in the prevention of scarlet fever. During the coming year recommendations for this department include the adoption of a regulation requiring that no raw milk shall be sold in Quincy, except when certified ; increasing the number of bacteriological ex- aminations of milk samples ; establishment at the Quincy City Hos pital of a ward for cases of communicable diseases ; continuation of the diphtheria immunization program, with added emphasis on the immunizations being done by the private physician; expanding the present dental program to include second grade children; appoint- ment of a full time dental hygienist; appointment of a non- salaried public health council to consist of representatives of the medical and dental professions, the Visiting Nursing Association, the School Department, the Chamber of Commerce, and possibly a sanitary engineer; establishing a definite program of popular health instruction; elimination of all dumping by the sanitary division, and the erection of one or more incinerators.
GENERAL COMMENTS
Time will not permit me to go into detail on many subjects of importance to you and our fellow citizens, but I wish to call your attention to certain matters I believe should be of general interest.
CENTRALIZED PURCHASING
Early consideration should be given to the establishment of centralized purchasing. Working successfully in many cities of the Commonwealth, this could be made possible by your body through the acceptance of the applicable provision of General Laws and the creation of such a department by ordinance. Inas- much as this is a matter to enter into advisedly, I recommend that a special committee be appointed by the City Council to study all phases of the subject.
CENTRALIZED COLLECTION OF CITY RECEIPTS
I believe it will be to the distinct advantage of our citizens, and add greatly to the efficiency of city departments, to have all pay- ments to the municipality made at the Collector's office. This is a matter requiring Council action in the acceptance of certain sections of the General Laws relating thereto and the revision of our present ordinances. The plan now of receiving municipal
14
CITY OF QUINCY
collections in several different offices should be abolished for the more modern method.
TAX TITLE LIQUIDATIONS
The Tax Title Department in the City Treasurer's Office is very important because the city borrows money against these and a great deal of work and time must be devoted to their handling. One employee should devote entire time to this work, and in order to properly liquidate these tax titles, additional help must be given. That the recommendations of Tax Commissioner Long may be carried out, I shall include an item of $2,000 in the budget under Tax Titles and I trust you will allow such an appropriation to be made.
COLLECTION OF TAXES
I am particularly gratified with the manner in which our pres- ent Tax Collector has performed the duties in connection with the management of his office. Antiquated methods of bookkeeping have been eliminated and in so doing the employees have more time to keep their work up to date. The entire system of posting has been revised, filing methods have been changed, and one of the most important changes has been in relation to the collection of old taxes. In order that the collection of these old taxes could be put on a more businesslike basis, I have had the Deputy Tax Collectors open their own office at their expense and with their own clerk whose salary is paid by them. No payments of old taxes whatsoever are accepted in the Tax Collector's Office, but the clerk at the Deputies' Office makes his returns to the Tax Collector once a week. Excluding the City of Fall River, I be- lieve Quincy is the only city in Massachusetts that has such an office or such an efficient organization of Deputy Collectors.
CITY PLANNING MUNICIPAL STADIUM
I am very definitely in favor of a municipal stadium for the use of both our Senior High Schools. This, in my opinion, should be built on the present site known as Pfaffman Oval. A bill now before the Massachusetts Legislature, if passed, will allow the city to take this land for such a purpose and permit the charging of admissions under the supervision of the School Committee. Present plans for this stadium, seating approximately nine- thousand persons, call for an expenditure of not more than $50,000. This will be taken up by me in greater detail at an early date.
BUILDINGS
While I do not advocate any new municipal buildings at this time, other than those already provided for, I believe that there
15
INAUGURAL ADDRESS BY MAYOR THOMAS S. BURGIN
are certain improvements made necessary by the growth of the city for which definite planning in contemplation of ultimate construction should be undertaken by the Council this year. I refer particularly to- New City Hall, Comfort Station, City Dispensary, Municipal Incinerators, Central Fire Station, stations at Quincy Point, Houghs Neck, and West Quincy and a new Fire Alarm Building to be built in some location removed from the hazards of a congested area.
PARKING
The parking facilities in the city are inadequate for our grow- ing needs as a metropolitan center. Serious consideration must be given to this problem, which can be productive of revenue to the city through increased valuations.
SEWAGE DISPOSAL
The City of Quincy will bend every effort to further the adop- tion of a plan now before the State Legislature to eliminate the sewage nuisance in Quincy Bay by extending the sewer outlets beyond the limits wherein the hazard of pollution exists.
QUINCY ADAMS GRADE CROSSING
Tomorrow, January 7th, should be regarded as a red letter day by the residents of Quincy, for then will be opened the bids covering the work on the elimination of the Water Street grade crossing at Quincy Adams depot. This much-talked of project is at last to become a reality.
I am told that as far back as forty years ago the newspapers contained the story about how strongly the city council favored its elimination. At a later date an order was passed in the State Legislature authorizing the work be done.
Though the matter has been agitated from time to time since, and as much as half a million dollars has been paid out in land takings during the past fifteen years by the state, city and rail- road, it always seemed to encounter some obstacle which pre- vented its completion. Presumably the principal reason was lack of funds.
However, when it became known last Spring that the Federal Government had allotted funds from the Emergency Appropria- tion Act of 1935 for the purpose of eliminating some of the grade crossings in Massachusetts some of our leading citizens determined that now, if ever, was the time to get behind this movement with all the energy they could command. The fact that bids on the work will be opened tomorrow at the office of the State Com- missioner of Public Works indicates how successful they were. It does not, however, tell of the money, time and energy spent and the many disappointments met with before final approval was obtained for this splendid civic improvement.
16
CITY OF QUINCY
One of their chief accomplishments was the substitution of granite for concrete. Not satisfied with this they also fought to have Quincy granite used and for the first time, as far as is known, the word "Quincy" is named in the specifications for public construction as the basis on which the quality of granite to be furnished shall compare.
At least 90% of those to be employed on the job will be taken from the relief rolls of Quincy and the adjoining towns. The entire cost of the construction will be paid for by the Federal Government.
I cannot hesitate from taking this opportunity to publicly thank our fellow townsman State Director Frank H. Foy of the Na- tional Emergency Council for his untiring efforts in behalf of this project. To him I express the sincere appreciation of our citizens.
I believe this improvement will be of much benefit to the city as a whole, but particular satisfaction should be felt by residents of the South Quincy section. It will correct a bad traffic con- dition and should be but the first of many betterments in that part of the city resulting in better business and enhanced property values.
IN CONCLUSION
It has been my policy to adhere as far as possible to the pledge previously made by me to our citizens of an honest, efficient, businesslike administration of city affairs. While the problems have been many and the duties of the Mayor's Office have re- quired far more time and strength than I anticipated, I feel con- fident that with the cooperation of you gentlemen and the con- fidence of our citizens the coming year will find us closer to a practical solution of the many problems common to every municipality.
We stand here today at the beginning of a new year, with re- newed hopes for the future and a sincere faith in Almighty God. Dedicating ourselves to the service of our fellow citizens, realiz- ing the seriousness of our own responsibilities, may we have Divine Guidance in all our undertakings.
