PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT
KENNETH GARDNER, Director
During 1962 the Personnel Department employed 1336 persons and termi- nated 1259. Both figures include many temporary and seasonal employees - particularly in the Hospital, Health, Recreation and Public Works Departments.
Due to the ever-increasing demand for summer employment by high school and college students, 550 applications were received in 1962; Mayor Amelio Della Chiesa instructed the Personnel Director to limit such type of employment to a maximum of six weeks' duration, rather than the usual nine weeks. This action spread the available work among more applicants by allowing three persons to be employed for a six-week period rather than two persons who ordinarily would have obtained nine-weeks' employment. From the period March 19, 1962 to September 1, 1962, 298 such positions were filled by this method.
There were 262 classified Civil Service Labor applications filed for per- manent positions such as Laborer, Hospital House and Kitchen Workers, School Cafeteria Helpers, Painters, Carpenters, etc. This represents an increase of 31 applications over 1961.
To fill vacancies under the classified official Civil Service in various depart- ments, 22 examinations were held during the year.
The average age of eight new patrolmen certified by the Civil Service Divi- sion of the Personnel Department to the Quincy Police Department was 26 years and of six new fire fighters to the Quincy Fire Department, 30 years. This com- pares with an average age of 31 years (Fire Department) and 28 years (Police Department) in 1961.
As of December 31, 1962 the number of permanent, temporary and thirty-day emergency employees in all departments (excluding School Department) of the City amounted to 1929. Approximately 2/3 of this number are Civil Service employees. Doctors, internes, nurses, nurses' aides, certain library employees, employees of the Treasurer and Collector office, two employees of the City Clerk's office, and certain appointive employees are non-Civil Service.
As a result of the recommendations of the Salary Appeals Board, and with the approval of the Mayor and City Council 36 positions were upgraded in the salary schedules and became effective July 2, 1962:
The following action was also approved:
21 promotions in various departments
8 one-step increment adjustments
13 added premium pays of $140 each to Patrolmen-Detectives (Police Dept.)
1 added premium pay of $2.00 per week to Head Ambulance Driver (Hospital)

The shellfish area known as BH-8B (the flats off St. Germain Street in Germantown opposite the Weymouth Shores), was reopened for the digging of shellfish for purification purposes only. This area had formerly been opened only seasonally and closed by May 15th. A survey and tests showed that this area was free from direct sources of pollution and the bacterial limits of the waters were within standards established for moderately contaminated areas.
The major complaints received from residents were:
1. Digging within 100 feet of the high water mark.
2. Parking and blocking of driveways.
3. Excessive noise in early morning hours.
Mobile clinic to test hearing is new service rendered citizens by the Quincy Health Department. Mobile testing unit is furnished by the Boston Guild for the Hard of Hearing.

The big 38-foot Guardian 11, commanded by Captain Lind, and the 19-foot outboard Alert, operated weekends and holidays by Officers Charles McCormack and Leo Luchini, performed a wide range of miscellaneous services during the year.
These services included regular patrols along the city's 26 miles of water front: patrolling many yacht races and regattas; fighting waterfront fires; pro- tecting boats from looters after storms; and rescuing six persons marooned ou islands after gales.
