Finally, after two years of correspondence, the State Housing Board gave its approval to shingle eighteen clapboard houses with the condition the clapboards be removed. The contract was awarded in the amount of $53,100.00, which included re- moval of the clapboards, re-shingling, glazing throughout and painting of trim, including all metal work.
During the past summer and fall the painters completed eighteen of the originally shingled houses. In addition, one house is 75% complete and an- other 50% complete. If weather permits, it is possi- ble these may be completed shortly. All of these houses were painted two coats complete, which in- cluded glazing throughout.
During 1962 a new parking area was constructed, extensive blacktopping to deteriorated walks and drying areas, grounds work, extensive floor and countertop replacements were accomplished.
In the past it had been the practice of the Au- thority to employ additional plumbers and steam- fitters to clean the oil burners annually in the sum- mer time. However, as the result of information gathered at one of the clinics at the NAHRO con- ference the program was changed in 1962. Using our own force of plumbers, steamfitters and laborers, the burners were completely serviced in the fall with all work being completed within three weeks. It ap- pears to have been more expeditious and efficient to have waited through the summer until the tenants filled their tanks for the heating season and allowing sediment and water to work out of the tanks, since oil burner calls seem to have been greatly reduced over other heating seasons.
With the approval of the State Housing Board, it is planned to construct a new maintenance build-
ing since our present facilities are extremely inade- quate.
The Annual Redetermination of rents and income was completed effective 1 August, 1962. There were 161 upward adjustments in rent. 20 downward ad- justments and 21 arbitrary adjustments of SIO each for those tenants who failed to comply with the con- ditions of their lease. The average rent increase was $6.78 and the average decrease was $6.55. There are 12 tenants over-income. Of the 12 families, nine- teen have four or more children.
In connection with the over-income families, al- though the Authority, in August, voted to request approval of the State Housing Board for increased income limits, the request was not made pending a study of incomes in the area. However, after re- viewing the wage rates in this area, it is now con- templated to request the approval. As an example of the wage rates in and about Quincy, a laborer receives $3.00 per hour, or $6240 per year. At this rate, even though he had seven children, under our present limits he would still be over income.
In December 1962, $14,400.00 was forwarded the City of Quincy as payment in lieu of taxes.
There are two, possibly three, new parking areas to be built, corrective blacktopping of walks and drying areas and a very concerted program of re- placement of tankless hot water heaters to be accom- plished in the coming year.
The Director of the City of Quincy Recreation Department has recently become interested in avail- able facilities in our area for recreational purposes. In this connection, the Authority is cooperating in planning a basketball court and skating rink at the area beside the Administration Building.
RIVERVIEW
"Riverview" is a Federally-aided low rent housing development, and is adjacent to the Snug Harbor development and borders on Fore River and Rock Island Cove. This development was completed in 1952 and has remained 100% occupied since the date of initial occupancy on June 25, 1952.
The development consists of forty-five buildings of four units each totalling one hundred eighty units. There are fourteen one-bedroom units, twelve of which are occupied by senior citizens; ninety two-bedroom units, sixty-two three-bedroom units and fourteen four-bedroom units. Steam heat and hot water are supplied from a central heating plant. All utilities and refrigeration are furnished by the Authority.
Rents are determined in accordance with income and size of family, approximately 21% of net in- come. Although preference is given veteran families, this development is not essentially a veterans' de- velopment. As of the writing of this report, there are fifty-seven veterans and one hundred twenty-

three non-veteran families occupying the develop- ment
The annual re-examination of rents and incomes, completed in November 1962, resulted in ten de- creases in rent, with an average decrease of $20.00 and 88 increases in rent with an average increase of $15.00
In the early part of 1962 shingling over clapboards of eighteen houses and installation of aluminum combination windows throughout were completed.
It is contemplated that some exterior painting will be necessary in the coming year. The program of replacement of tile floors and countertops will continue. There still remains considerable resurfac- ing of walks and drying areas as preventive main- tenance as well as replacement of wooden stoops with concrete.
For the fiscal year July 1, 1961 to June 30, 1962, the sum of $9,757.47 was forwarded the City of Quincy as payment in lieu of taxes.
SNUG HARBOR COURT SENIOR CITIZENS
Snug Harbor Court is a State-aided Chapter 667 development consisting of twelve buildings contain- ing forty-five units. It 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.
The buildings, of brick veneer, consist ol a living room, bedroom, kitchen and bath. Four buildings have basements which contain heating plants to service the forty-five units with gas heat and hot water. Among the many safety features are hand- rails in bathrooms, emergency bells connected with adjoining apartments and an elaborate fire alarm system, the first of its kind in Massachusetts, which is connected directly to the 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 citizens of the United States (ex- cept 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.
The annual income of a single person shall not exceed $2500 for admission and $3125 for continued occupancy and that of couples shall not exceed $3000 Tor admission with a continued occupancy limit of $3750. Applicants must also be in need of safe and sanitary housing. The present rent is $51.50 which includes gas heat and hot water, elec- tric cooking and refrigeration.
Although the development was initially occupied on August 26, 1959, the contract has not yet been
closed out because of the bankruptcy of the con- tractor and failure of the bonding company to prop- erly fulfill the contract. As a result, the Authority was obliged to engage the services of legal counsel and the architect was obliged to spend considerably more time at the development than his contract called for. In addition, it was determined that much of the work was not accomplished in strict compliance with the contract. Downspouts are coni- pletely rotted out, requiring replacement, iron work was not properly treated, and some of the trim on the buildings was not properly painted.
Therefore, out of approximately $27,000 in re- tentions, legal counsel and the architect have been reimbursed for their services, and when weather per- mits, bids will be sought for the necessary corrective work.
667-2
Although the bonding company agreed to pay- ment of legal and architectural fees, it is anticipated that deducting the cost of the corrective work from retentions will result in litigation.
Since initial occupancy on August 26, 1959, the development has remained 100% occupied with no vacancy loss. Present occupancy consists of thirty-one widows, one maiden lady and thirteen couples. There were two deaths and one marriage during the year.
SENIOR CITIZENS
In October, 1960 the State Housing Board ap- proved the application for seventy-five additional units for senior citizens. In March 1961 the City Council conveyed to the Authority for one dollar, land bounded by Mary, Martensen off Scammel and Keating off South Streets. Contracts were executed for architectuarl services with the firm of D'Orsi and Co., legal services for clearing title to the land with Hon. James A. Mulhall, land survey services with E. W. Branch Co., and land appraisal services with Flavin & Flavin Co.
On August 10, 1961 Housing Authority notes in the amount of $900,000 were sold to finance the new development. Second series notes in the same amount were sold on August 15, 1962.
In January 1962, the State Housing Board ap- proved legal counsel's title abstract for the land deeded the Authority by the City and authorized the Authority to proceed with the re-zoning from Residence B to C, or variance. Approval of the eminent domain taking was withheld pending the rezoning. In February the Mayor was requested to submit to the Council and Planning Board the re- quest for the zoning change, said request being con- sidered by the Council on March 19 and referred to the Planning Board.
On April 17, 1962 a public hearing for the zoning change was held. There was no opposition, and the Planning Board recommended to the Mayor and City Council that the request be approved. Prior
Annual Report

to this public hearing, a meeting was held with the Building Inspector and the Director of the Planning Board and his assistant, as well as our architect. The preliminary drawings were viewed and dis- cussed and the city department heads agreed we had no problems. Finally, by Council Order, the City approved the rezoning from Residence B to C on May 21, 1962.
On August 28, 1962 after meeting with the Build- ing Inspector and Planning Director, it was deter- mined that the plan to extend Martensen Street into the development would bring the entire plan under the so-called "subdivision" regulations of the City, and would require another public hearing.
Subsequently, the public hearing, at which there was no opposition, was held on November 6, 1962, and the Planning Board finally gave its approval of the extension of Martensen Street.
At present, with all of the City requirements hav- ing been met, legal counsel is proceeding with the eminent domain taking of the Cerinci property.
The State Housing Board has approved the pre-
liminary drawings of the architect and authorized him to procced with linal plans and specifications.
The proposed development will consist of one one-story building of three units, two one-story buildings of four units, and eight two-story build- ings of eight units each, plus a community building which, we trust, will be furnished by contributions from various civic organizations.
The interior of this development will vary some- what from the original senior citizen development. The kitchen and living room will be open, sepa- rated by a divider, which will give a larger and lighter appearance to the rooms. However, the new development will have the same safety features as the original development and some improvements over it. Landscaping will be left as near its natural state as is possible. Rents will include heat, lights, refrigeration, electric cooking, and will depend upon construction cost.
It is anticipated the cost of the development will be $900,000, and that construction will start in the early spring, weather permitting and other condi- tions being considered.
