A series of studies conducted by the department during the year disclosed that the length of service of the permanent employees in all departments of the city, excluding the school department, averaged 14 years.
The departments with the longest length of service were the Highway and Sanitary and Weights and Measures with a 23 year average.
These departments were followed closely by the Forestry department with an average of 22 years, the Cemetery, Sewer, Traffic Signs and Signals, Park, and Fire with a 21 year average and the Police and Water Departments with an average of 19 years.
The average age of twelve new Patrolmen certified by the Civil Service division of the Personnel Department for appointment to the Quincy Police force was 31 years of age and of seven new Fire- fighters, 30 years of age.
It was also found that due to deaths and retirements of members of the Quincy Police Depart- ment it would be necessary for the Personnel Department to request a special Civil Service exami- nation be held to establish eligible lists for the positions of Captain, Lieutenant, Sergeant, and patrolmen.
In October 1960, the Barrington Associates, Inc. of New York City, after a 4 months study of the salary and job classification of the City of Quincy, submitted to the Mayor a new salary and classification plan.
The plan after being amended by the City Council was passed on 12-27-60 to become effective 1-1-61. The plan which excluded the employees of the Welfare and School Departments granted salary increases ranging from a low of 5.4% for laborers to a high of 24% for the Chiefs of the Fire and Police Departments. Patrolmen and Firefighters received an increase of 10.8% and Foremen, approximately 12.5%. The average overall increases amounted to approximately 10%.

CIVIL DEFENSE
The efficiency of Quincy's Civil Defense Department, under an unpaid Director, Laurence H. Mattie, has greatly improved with a 24 hour telephone service and Control Center at 91 McGrath Highway. There is an emergency power plant, in case of power failure, also cots and emergency supplies are available at a moment's notice for any disaster such as Snowstorms, Hurricanes, Tor- nadoes, etc. During the 1960 National Test and the State Tests the Communications Division and other groups demonstrated exceptional efficiency.

Walsh, served a total of 5,831 hours, this included Regular Friday Night Traffic Duty, Holiday Weekend Traffic, Meetings, Parades, Drills, Pistol Practice, Flood Duty, Amphibian Duck Duty, Duty during the Regular Police Banquet, Halloween, Jimmy Fund Campaign Parade, Training Classes, Communion Breakfast and meeting at Lowell.

Emergencies other than fires in which they participated were the March 4th and 5th Blizzard, Hurricane Donna and the December 5th Blizzard.
In May the South Shore Divers Group, headed by Nicholas Elgin a Milton Policeman joined our Civil Defense Department and they participated at the two weekend searches for the bodies of the men lost in a boating accident off Long Island, the Logan Airport Disaster and the search for two youngsters bodies in Mill River, Taunton, December 29th. A total of 9571/2 hours were served.
In January Vernon Whitman was appointed Chief of Rescue. The Group served a total of 3,9921/2 hours, this included Drills, Meetings, Parades, Demonstrations of both Truck and Ducks, Inundation of the Tide along Quincy Shoreline, Search for the bodies of men lost in a boating accident off Hangman Island, they were alerted for the Tornado scare in June and the Shark scare in September, did rescue work during Hurricane Donna, aided at the Logan Airport Disaster, gave assistance with the Ducks 3 days during the Neponset Dump Fire and searched for and rescued the body of a youngster drowned in Mill River, Taunton in December.
Special mention should be made of the fine work by the Rescue and Skin Divers Groups the two weekends in May searching for the bodies off Hangman Island, at the Logan Airport Disaster and the Taunton drowning.
During the National Alert in May the Parochial, Private and Public Schools participated 100%.
In case of a disaster we would have the use of three Ice Cream Trucks with generators for power and that could be converted to an emergency operating table.

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
The activities of the Quincy Police department continued to increase during 1960, with traffic control again accounting for a large proportion of man-hours since Quincy is the gateway to the Cape and the South Shore.
The number of arrests increased from 3,180 in 1959 to 3,361 in 1960. The number of arrests of juveniles increased from 128 to 179.
Traffic accidents fell off from 1,147 in 1959 to 1,109 in 1960; and the total number of persons injured fell off from 955 to 893. However, Quincy experienced a tragic year as to fatal accidents with 10 as against five for the preceding year.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
Quincy's fire losses in 1960 in- creased sharply, 59 percent, over the preceding year's figures. This was due largely to a costly fire on the railroad trestle at the Neponset bridge which represented 29 percent of the total losses.
There were four civilian deaths resulting from fires, the same figure was in 1959. Civilian injuries also re- mained the same at 15. The number of firefighters injured. 54, was a sharp decrease from 1959, when 161 were hurt.

THE PLANNING BOARD
The Planning Board maintained its active program of planning advisory and administrative service throughout 1960. The Board's handicap in operating without professional assistance was relieved in August with the appointment of James E. Lee as Planning Director. By the end of the year the Department of Planning had returned to full operation.
In the course of the year the Planning Board held 13 meetings and six public hearings. Activities of the Board and staff included processing of 44 Offers for City-Owned Land; study and recom- mendations on 21 Street Acceptances and 2 Street Abandonments; Rezoning and Subdivision Appli- cations; and the endorsement of 75 division plans not requiring the approval of the Planning Board.
The work of the Department of Planning included review and progress evaluation of the City's comprehensive planning program, the reactivation of the study of the City's economic characteristics, a study of the street naming problem, a study of transportation matters, and a series of smaller studies of individual problems affecting the City's development.
