Since initial occupancy on 26 August, 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 during the year. During the year 1963, only one vacancy occurred, and that through death.
JOHN F. KENNEDY DEVELOPMENT
In October, 1960 the State Housing Boardapproved 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 architectural 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. Third series notes in the amount of $1,000,000 were sold on 11 September, 1963 and will mature 14 Sep- tember, 1964.
CITY OF QUINCY
60 -
After many conferences, with both City departments and the State Housing Board, the State Housing Board, in a September 4, 1963 back dated letter, received on 25 September, 1963, gave approval of the final plans and specifications with the authorization to advertise for bids. However, the approval was conditional in that the State Housing Board stated that in the event the total cost of construction exceeded the estimate ($999,440), it wouldbe improbable to proceed with the project.
Subsequently bids were advertised on October 8, 9 and 10, 1963. Sub-bids were opened on October 30, 1963 with fifty-seven bids being received. General bids were opened on 6 November, 1963, with five bids being received.
General bids received were: Campanelli Construction Co., $1,040,000; Franchi Construction Co., $1,079,000; Clark & Smith $1,099,400; Northgate Construction Co., $1,183,000 and S. Volpe Co., $1,197,310.
The Authority unanimously voted to award the contract to the low bidder, Campanelli Con- struction Co., and so advised the State Housing Board in a letter dated 29 November, 1963.
By telephone, the Executive Director was requested to meet with the State Housing Board on 12 December, 1963, and bring with him whoever of the Authority members wished and the Architect. Those present at the meeting were Chairman George, Mr. Pagnano, Architect D'Orsi, the Executive Director, Chairman DeGregorio and members of his staff.
After discussing the bids pro and con, although no firm commitment was made, the State Housing Board felt that if the low bid was accepted, it would result in a rental of $60 per month, which, they stated, would be excessive.
On the day of the Authority's 18 December, 1963 meeting, Architect D'Orsi advised the Authority he had received a carbon copy of a letter from the State Housing Board, addressed to the Authority, in which Chairman DeGregorio instructed the Authority to reject all bids, re-design the development and re-advertise for bids.
Since we had not received the original official communication from the State Housing Board at this time, no action was taken on the instructions of the State Housing Board.
As of the writing of this report, the Authority believes nothing will be gained by re-advertising and/or redesigning the development. As much asis possible, in the way of economies, has already been accomplished without detracting from the development. Itis further felt that we will not get a lower bid if we re-advertise, but more likely a higher bid because of the rising costs of labor and materials.
It is interesting to note that since we constructed the first 667 development in 1957, wages have increased considerably. For instance, in 1959 a carpenter was earning $3.30 per hour - today he is earning $4.20 per hour. A plumber in 1959 was earning $3.30 per hour, today he is earning $4.75. In every instance, wages of all trades have increased, in addition to materials having in- creased in cost. Within the next few months, all trades are scheduled for additional increases.
It is the belief of this Authority that $60 per month, which includes utilities, plus heat, is not an excessive rent for senior citizens. A "spot check" of seventy five applications out of approxi - mately three hundred fifty on file at the present time indicates forty-three paying an average rent of $73 per month with heat, but no gas or electricity and thirty six paying an average of $68 per month without heat, gas or electricity. In most instances, comparably speaking, these are excessive rents and represent housing which leaves much tobe desired, i.e. second or third floor apartments, one room decadent areas, make-shift quarters, inadequate facilities, etc.
Therefore, the Authority feels, should our rentals reach the $60 per month mark, the senior citizens at least would have brand new homes, every safety precaution possible and adequate facilities. In addition to the rents including all utilities and heat, the tenants receive twenty-four hour service, snow removal, care of the grounds, janitorial service and everything humanly possible to assure their well being.
ANNUAL REPORT

It is the firm belief of the Authority that approximately $150,000 to $200,000 will have been wasted if we are forced to re-design and re-advertise for bids, and many features conducive to comfortable living must be sacrificed to reduce costs.
If we must re-design and re-advertise for bidsas the State Housing Board has instructed, in an attempt to reach down to the stipulation of $999,440 (which we do not believe possible), there would be a saving of only $40,560 between this and the $1,040,000 low bid. However, this would not offset the cost of re-design, new specifications, new plans, time and effort.
This development will consist of one-one story building of three units, two one story buildings of four units, and eight two story buildings 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 somewhat from the original senior citizen develop- ment. The kitchen and living room will be open, separated 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 and some improvements over it. Landscaping will be left as near its natural state as is possible. As stated elsewhere in this report, rent will include heat, electricity, refrigeration and electric cooking.
The site isideally locatedin thatitis close to the shopping center, churches, etc. It is possi- ble transportation will be available on South Street after the development is completed.
However, despite this, the land itself leaves much to be desired because of a considerable amount of ledge, and the cost of developing the site is an unknown factor. Because of the ledge condition, many general contractors refused tobid, and we do know the site was a major contribut- ing factor to the bids received.

PLANNING DEPARTMENT JAMES E. LEE, Director
The Planning Board, assisted by the staff of the Department of Planning, performed its regular duties of planning advisory and administrative services throughout 1963. During the year the work of the Board and Department included the processing of:
5 Zoning Petitions
3 Subdivisions
61 Plans for Record
12 Street Acceptance Applications
3 Street Improvement Applications
3 Street Abandonment Applications
23 City-Owned Land Offers
6 Board of Appeals Rehearing Requests
In additon to the preceding items of a routine kind, the Planning staff concerned itself, throughout the year, with its program of comprehensive planning and zoning review. The staff also worked with other City Departments, including the Industrial Commission, the Park Department, the School Department, and other related City agencies. In the course of the year particular attention was given to Metropolitan Planning and to Mass Transportation.
DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL DEFENSE COLONEL WALTER C. FULLER, Director
The year 1963 saw Quincy's Civil Defense Agency continue to increase its operations. This year saw the largest increase in overall activities since the Department of Defense became the National Agency controlling Civil Defense.
The years end saw our Fallout Shelter Program in full swing as thirty-two (32) approved and licensed shelters were fully marked with the approval signs. All buildings with intermediate as well as a high protection factor have now been marked. Supplies and equipment for these shelters have now been received and are now stored at the Civil Defense Operations Base in Squantum. At the years end eleven shelters had been fully stocked, with plans being presently formed to put a Crash Program into effect to stock the remainder as a one day effort. There is approximately thirty (30), tons of supplies in our City at present earmarked for our shelters which was all fur- nished by the Federal Government at no cost to the city.
