SNUG HARBOR COURT SENIOR CITIZENS
This State-aided Chapter 667 development, consisting of twelve buildings containing forty-five units is located at the corner of Shed and Palmer Streets in Germantown adjacent to the Snug Harbor development. The land on which it is constructed was part of the original tract of 73 acres purchased from Sailors' Snug Harbor for veterans' housing, and being in excess of the needs for the veterans' development, was transferred to Chapter 667 without cost.
Annual Report
53
The exterior of the buildings is of brick veneer with overhanging roofs which extend over the patios of each building. The units consist of a living room, bedroom, kitchen and bath with no individual basements. Four buildings have basements which contain heating plants to service the forty-five apartments. Among the many safety features are handrails in bathrooms, emergency bells which connect with the adjoining apartment and an elaborate fire alarm system, the first of its kind in Massachusetts, which is connected directly to central fire headquarters.
To be eligible for this housing, a person must be 65 years of age or over (single individuals or couples), must be a citizen of the United States (except an alien who has served in the armed forces of the United States and who has been honorably discharged and who has applied for citizenship), and aliens eligible to receive Old Age Assistance.
A person further must be of low income. In general, the annual income of a single individual shall not exceed $2500 for admission and $3125 for continued occupancy and that of a couple shall not exceed $3000 for admission with a continued occupancy limit of $3750. Applicants must also be in need of safe and sanitary housing. The present average rent is $51.50 which includes gas heat and hot water, electric cooking and refrigeration.
Since initial occupancy on 26 August, 1959 the development has remained 100% occupied. The original forty-five occupants chosen consisted of eleven couples, thirty-three widows and one maiden lady. Since the date of initial occupancy four have died leaving seven couples, thirty seven single females and one male. The average age of the tenants is 73 years.
MISCELLANEY
Since the inception of public housing in Quincy, the Authority has paid to the City the total of $116,785.49 in water bills. In addition, the Authority has paid to the City, in lieu of taxes $422,187.61.
Since 1946 the Quincy Housing Authority has processed 7363 applications. Of these, approx- imately 475 were from Senior Citizens of which there are now on our active waiting list approximately two hundred sixty applicants which bears out the need for additional housing for senior citizens.

The major construction projects for which building permits were issued in 1960 were as follows : Dixon Developments, Restaurant and Function Rooms, $125,000; Pneumatic Scale Corp., Ltd., Warehouse, $80,000; Wollaston Boulevard Bowladrome, Inc., Alterations, $150,000; Quincy Patriot Ledger, Publishing Plant, $345,000; First Presbyterian Church of Quincy, Church, $345,000; Eastern Nazarene College, Girls' Dormitory, $464,903; Reva Enterprises, Recreation Building, $300,000.
Fees received from January 1, 1960 to December 31, 1960, and paid to the City Treasurer totalled $12,995.70.
The Board of Appeal for the Building Code rendered decisions on 4 applications, 4 appeals were granted, 1 appeal is pending.
The Board of Appeals for Zoning rendered decisions on 66 applications, 57 appeals were granted, 9 appeals were denied, 5 appeals were withdrawn.
During the month of April all fire appliances were tested, as required in Section 49, Chapter 143, G. L., and reports sent to the Department of Public Safety.
Elevator inspections were made, as required in Chapter 143, G. L., certificates were issued on compliance, and reports sent to the Department of Public Safety.
Public Safety inspections were continued, as required in Chapter 143, G. L., and certificates issued on compliance.
Through the program of condemning dangerous and dilapidated buildings the department has had many large structures removed during the year. After the condemnation proceedings, the owners have seen fit to handle the demolitions, relieving the department of expending money and ultimately placing liens upon the property. However, two buildings were removed at the expense of the City.
There is a need in this department for an inspector to perform the Public Safety inspections, the current work keeps the two regular inspectors fully occupied. I recommend that an inspector be provided.

CURBING
Old Colony Construction Co. of Quincy, on April 29, 1960, was awarded a contract for curb installation in the amount of $20,344.93. The contract covered setting granite curb and curb corners, making the necessary bituminous concrete repairs, and loaming and seeding the tree lawns. The City of Quincy furnished all curb and curb corners.
City forces completed installation of curbing on Keating Street, South Street at Scammell Street, a portion of Stoney Brae Road, and on Wilson Avenue on the north side between Harvard and Bowdoin Streets.
SIDEWALKS
Excepting sidewalks constructed on the newly accepted streets, all sidewalk construction and resurfacing was done by Highway crews

The report of the City Engineer contains a complete list of streets which were constructed or resurfaced and of the streets on which curb or sidewalk work was done.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
The Highway Division did the usual work of cleaning, repairing and flushing drains, sweeping streets and sidewalks, cutting and removing curb for driveway openings or the widening of existing driveway openings. Highway crews also continued renewing sections of granolithic sidewalks in the Wollaston area and in the business section of Quincy Square.
In March, the City was hit by one of the greatest snowfalls on record. Work of plowing, sanding and snow removal was done by the Highway Division augmented by men from the Sewer and Forestry Divisions and the Park Department.
In August, the City purchased four Walter truck-type plows and sanders and a Sicard snow blower. The pieces of this equipment which had been delivered were used to good advantage in the December storm.
SANITARY DIVISION
Holbrook Livestock Farms continued to collect garbage under the contract awarded in 1958; Marinucci Bros. & Co. collected refuse and trash under their contract of 1959.
In July, the City entered into a contract with Old Colony Construction Co. of Quincy to provide suitable fill to cover the debris at Hitchcock's dump. This contract was terminated at the end of November after approximately 16,500 cubic yards of material had been delivered.
At the request of the City Council, the Sanitary Division supplies a man to keep Quarry Street and the entrance to the dump in a fairly clean condition.
During the year the Sanitary Division pumped 152 cesspools.
