HON. THOMAS S. BURGIN, Mayor


January 30, 1940 Quincy, Massachusetts


DEAR SIR:


I submit herewith my report as Property Manager for the period January 1, 1939-December 31, 1939:

Expenses : Salary $1820 00 Expense $1448 99 Total $3,268 99


Note that receipts from rentals again show an increase over the previous year. This has been possible through making repairs to buildings thus creating rentable property. Two purposes are served by so doing namely, produce income in lieu of taxes and protect the property from vandalism until sold. It seems hardly neecssary to mention that unoccupied buildings soon fall prey to vandals.


Unless something unlooked for develops expense of repairs in 1940 should be substantially less than during 1939.


We continue to cooperate with the Building Inspector and the Fire Department and have demolished several buildings unfit for occupancy and beyond repair.


At present there are listed 1043 parcels of property taken by the City for non-payment of taxes. Assessed value $387,285 00


Taxes due when taken 105,647 54


Respectfully,


GEORGE E. MOREY, Property Manager.

CITY OF QUINCY


REPORT OF THE QUINCY RETIREMENT BOARD


January 31, 1940


To the HONORABLE THOMAS S. BURGIN, Mayor: Quincy City Hall, Quincy, Massachusetts.


The Quincy Retirement Board submits its fifth annual report, being for the year ended December 31, 1939, with appended tables setting forth the financial and statistical results.


There are now 379 active members, an increase of 142, or prac- tically 60%, since the date of our first report at the close of 1935. During the five years of operation, a total of 13 members have been retired, there have been 4 deaths among retired members and 8 deaths among the active membership. There has been paid out the sum of $14,303.75 in retirement allowances to members and $1,- 291.44 in returns of accumulated contributions made by members who have died in service. To date no elections have been made pro- viding for the continuation of retirement allowances beyond the life of a retired member, nor have there been any benefits payable because of loss of life in line of duty.


During the past year the Board has adhered to the policy of confining its investments to maturities of not over five years wherein it could obtain a net return of better than 2% and in such longer term bonds as were restricted in price because of the ex- istence of call features. Where purchases of the latter category have been made, it has of course, been necessary to write off the full amount of any premium above the call price within the first year, but the income in subsequent periods will be commensurately higher.


In pursuing this policy, the Board has been governed by the fol- lowing considerations. In investing a fund of this character, fluctu- ations of interest rates may be generally neglected as the constant flow of new funds will permit purchases at all levels and the attain- ment of an average rate of return. Nevertheless, when the best opinion is that something of a peak in prices has been reached, it becomes the duty of the Board to determine to what extent it should accept the smaller return available in short maturities so that it may have additional funds available for investment at times when a more generous return may be possible.


The act creating the Retirement System contemplated a return of 4% and that rate is the basis of the actuarial computations upon which ultimate retirement allowances are based. The right is re- served to the Board to reduce this rate to not less than 3%, but the Board has been averse to adopting such a course, with the drastic curtailment in retirement allowances that would be in- volved, as it is not convinced that an average of 4% is permanently unobtainable. The amount which the City is currently called upon to provide to maintain this rate is a matter of only a few hundred dollars, which is negligible compared to the effect on retirement allowances if the rate were reduced, and in our opinion should be more than offset by the return to the City of earnings in excess of the stipulated rate in future years.


115


REPORT OF THE RETIREMENT SYSTEM


The comment of the actuary retained by the City Council at the time the creation of the Retirement System was contemplated and who has since been retained by the Board is worth noting. In his annual report to us, he states, "The results of the present valua- tion are very satisfactory. They indicate that the experience of both active and retired members has been favorable during the past year and that as a result the accrued liability has decreased and the surplus in the Annuity Reserve Fund has increased. The yield on investments was only slightly under 4%, which is a better showing than many of the retirement systems can point to at the present time."


The Board would stress the obligation that exists to bring the rights available under the retirement system to the attention of every new employee of the City promptly upon his employment. The Board, through its Secretary, cooperates in this matter, but without the creation of a central personnel office, this must primar- ily devolve upon each official who has the power of appointment.


Respectfully submitted,


GEORGE H. BONSALL, LEO E. MULLIN, JOHN J. KEEFE, Quincy Retirement Board.
