THE PLANNING BOARD
The Planning Board, assisted by the staff of the Department of Planning, continued in 1959 its program of research, study and planning and to render considered recommendations to the City Council.
The Planning Board held 17 meetings, three public hearings and conducted five field inspections with the Director as planning advisor, who served in this capacity for the first seven months of 1959.
The Planning Board was handicapped the remainder of 1959 by the lack of services of a professional director. The vacancy was created by the resignation of Regis J. Harrington who resigned to accept the position of Planning Director for the City of Medford.
A "Comprehensive Plan Report on Population" was submitted to the Mayor and City Council. Basie research, as represented by this report, is required to permit analysis of future civic developments. Such analysis will indicate the programming of physical construction and economic support necessary for the future well- being of the municipality. This is the second report of a comprehensive series. The first phase of the Com- prehensive Master Plan to be completed was the Highway Master Plan which was forwarded to the City Council for consideration and action in December of 1957.
Additional activities of the Planning Board and staff in 1959 included the processing of 35 Offers for City-Owned Land; Study and Recommendations for 15 Street Acceptances; 2 Petitions for Re-Hearing before the Board of Appeals; Rezoning Requests; and the endorsement of 66 division plans not requiring the approval of the Planning Board.
THE PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT
During 1959 the City of Quincy hired 949 persons, a deerease of 119 from the previous year's figure; and terminated 889 persons. These figures include permanent, temporary and seasonal employes in 32 munic- ipal departments, excluding the school department.
The largest turn-over was in the hospital department where 407 persons were hired and 345 terminated. Next largest, due to the seasonal nature of the work, was the recreation department in which 160 were hired and 151 terminated. The health department hired 104 and terminated 96.
The Personnel Department carried one of its heaviest workloads in some years due largely to a series of salary increases authorized by the city council.
A general aeross-the-board increase of $250 was authorized in January; with other special increases authorized later in the year to hospital and health department nursing groups, sehool traffic supervisors and Grade II senior engineering aides; and later, to police and fire department personnel.
LAW DEPARTMENT
Attorney Thomas F. Macdonald resigned after more than three years serviee as Assistant City Solicitor to accept a position as Legal Council for the Navy Department. Attorney Stephen T. Keefe, Jr., who is asso- ciated in his private practice with District Attorney Myron N. Lane, was appointed to assist Douglas A. Randall, the City Solieitor.
The five land damage cases arising out of the taking, for an off-street parking lot, of six two-family houses on Vane Street, in the Norfolk Downs section of the City of Quincy, were settled during their pendency. The prompt disposition of these matters allowed the City to establish a new record, in that from August 1958, the date of the original land taking, only fifteen months were required to settle all elaims, relocate or demolish the structures, and complete the actual construction of this parking area, which can accommodate sixty-six motor vehicles.
Litigation of a novel nature was Mr. Keefe's first major assignment. He defended a claim against the City for $20,000.00, brought by Pasquale Caliacco, an owner of a pig farm, for allegedly causing the death of some 230 of his pigs by reason that the City had sold him garbage containing a deleterious substance. Evi- dence showed that the cause of death was the consumption of large quantities of rock salt which had been mixed in the garbage. There was also evidence that Mr. Caliacco's son was aware of the contamination. The question as to whether the City warrants that its garbage is suitable feed for swine was not answered for reason that the jury returned a verdict for the City.

The eminent domain land taking of two and one-half acres of land in the Wollaston business district for off-street parking resulted in a petition by Industrial Properties, Inc., against the City for damages, as they were the owner of almost the entire parcel. In a trial before a jury, the owners testified that in their opinion the land was valued at from $164,000.00 to $175,000.00. Real estate experts called by the City Solicitor were of the opinion that the land was valued at $14,500.00 to $15,400.00. The jury awarded the petitioners the sum of $29,000.00.
Litigation arising out of the denial by the Quincy Retirement Board of a disability pension application of former Lieutenant Walter Cooke of the Fire Department in 1952, ended in December 1959, as the result of a decision by the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, sustaining the fireman's contention that he was entitled to a pension. As a result of this decision, the Quincy Retirement Board granted the pension retro- active to May 2, 1958, the last day which Lieutenant Cooke had appeared on a Fire Department payroll.
An appeal from a decision of the Board of Zoning Appeals of the City of Quincy was tried before the Superior Court in the matter of a variance which was granted to the owners of an abandoned bottling plant located on Adams Street to convert the property to offices for doctors. The Superior Court sustained the Board of Appeals action, however, this decision has been appealed to the Supreme Judicial Court by the abutting land owners.
