Let the record speak for itself.
These are the tax facts presented to the Cambridge real estate and home owner by Colonel John B. Atkinson, City Manager:
"Your 1946 tax rate is $35.80 per thousand, a reduction of ten cents from the 1945 figure. A small decrease to be sure, but it is a reduc- tion, accomplished in the face of mounting costs of which you are well aware.
"Rigid economies and careful scrutiny of all expenditures have made possible for the fifth consecutive year a dividend to you in the form of a tax reduction.
"The tax reduction now amounts to $10.50 per thousand from your 1941 tax rate.
"We continue for the fifth consecutive year our 'pay-as-we-go' policy inaugurated in 1942. No new long term debt has been author- ized since 1941 and we have reduced the City's funded debt from $10,161,500 at the end of 1941 to $3,430,000 at the end of 1946. This represents a reduction of 66.3% in the funded debt-a worth-while accomplishment despite rising costs."
Cambridge has always done more than its share for the nation in war and peace. Cambridge glories in its historic past, but Cambridge looks to the future.
A comprehensive two-year study by municipal officers and expert · City Planners resulted in a well thought out program of post war plans for Cambridge.
In presenting this program to the people of Cambridge, City Manager Atkinson sounded the keynote of the future for the Uni- versity City when he said :
"Cambridge is entering a new era of life. It is not merely a transition from war to peace, nor should it be called a resumption of the peace era which existed prior to Pearl Harbor.
"Approximately one-seventh of its entire population, which in- cluded almost 100 per cent of its young men, served in the armed forces in all parts of the world. These men have returned to Cambridge with many new ideas for civic life and many of their suggestions will prove useful in this new era of the post war period."
Cambridge has had a great and glorious past-it looks forward to a greater future.

Cambridge is world renowned as an educational center and in keeping with such an enviable tradition maintenance of high stand- ards in public, elementary and secondary schools is accepted munic- ipal policy. Schools are conveniently located in all sections of the city. Graduates of the two public high schools have maintained high scholastic standings in local and other colleges or universities.

In the administration of the municipal recreation program a particular effort is made to reach all age groups by offering a variety of activities for both outdoors and indoors. Pre-school children receive as much attention in program planning as do the high school boys in active sports. Community activities in the form of neighborhood social evenings, dances and card parties add joy to winter evenings.
Cambridge has 38 parks not including parkways, and valued at $1,865,380, also 3 bathing beaches and 1 golf course. Cam- bridge is also well supplied with play- grounds under the competent super- vision of instructors. During the school season, Cambridge has an intense athletic atmosphere

with all `school and college sports com- petition including boat races on the Charles River. Cam- bridge shares with the Metropolitan Dis- trict its immense rec- reational facilities and it seems safe to say that no city of same size has more recreational ·oppor- tunities than Cam- bridge.

Modern fire-fighting equipment with trained fire fighters under capable leadership has given the City of Cambridge a fire department surpassed by none. Low fire losses and corresponding low fire insur- ance rates attest to the efficiency of the Cambridge Fire Department. The municipal policy of keeping up to the minute with latest fire- fighting techniques and modern equipment has paid dividends.

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
JOHN B. ATKINSON CITY JAGER
Cambridge has been known for over three centuries as the educa- tional center of America, but only in the last fifty years has full re- cognition come to it as Massachusetts' second largest industrial city, wherein 24,000 workers engaged in over 400 industrial plants have a yearly payroll in excess of $40,000,000.
In an era when municipal taxes have been constantly on the rise, Cambridge has been wise enough to reduce its taxes by almost 25%, a reduction of $10.50 per thousand dollars.
The war proved that Cambridge was a reservoir of skilled technical workers, whose talents were available for wartime production and now are available for peace time prosperity. Located centrally on two great railroads and with over a score of New England's largest trucking com- panies making their headquarters in Cambridge, the industrialist is guaranteed excellent transportation facilities, as well as a good supply of skilled workmen.
Cambridge cordially invites inspection of its sites and resources to the industrialist seeking a new location. Since V-J Day almost $20,- 000,000 worth of new building has been planned in this area and there is still room for more.
Cambridge extends not only a hearty welcome to new industry, but gives it the assurance of location in a well governed city, well lo- cated for distribution purposes and with ample skilled labor available.
The large number of America's most important research firms who have within the past decade located in Cambridge gives the manu- facturer an assurance that many of his research problems can be quickly solved if placed in the hands of local scientists and research men.
Very truly yours, Je B. OF Ruin

The Churches
WITH A GRAND TOTAL OF SEVENTY CHURCHES, rep- resenting all of the leading de- nominations, Cambridge could properly be called a
City of Churches
These noble edifices placed at intervals about the city add much to its attractiveness and charm.
It is the belief of many Cambridge citizens of vision that this full and adequate supply of churches is one of the greatest of the many resources of our city.
That for newcomers it is a factor that makes for the ready assim- ilation into the religious and social life of the community and hastens the time required to make citizens of the strangers who come to us.
The Church of today is the greatest of all institutions for the planting of good thoughts in the minds of the people and stands as the bulwark against the degrading influences that surround us.
Therefore, let us give a thought to these institutions tha: form so great a part of our city life and in visualizing our future great- ness, let us remember their value as

Christ Church was organized in 1759 for Church of England families living in Cambridge. The Church building was de- signed by Peter Harrisson of Yorkshire. The church was opened for services on October 15, 1761 and a few years later was oc- cupied by the Continental Troops, during the battle of Lexing- ton. In 1857, the church was enlarged to its present size.
