The amount expended in this department the past year was $31,030.02. When we consider that within our borders there are about four thousand dwellings, constructed (almost without ex- ception) of wood, inhabited by some twenty thousand people, also, costly churches, school houses, manufactories and stores, contain- ing a large amount of valuable property, dependent upon this branch of service for protection against fire, we should not hesi- tate to favor any judicious expenditure that will serve to place the department in the highest state of efficiency. I therefore commend these suggestions to your careful attention and doubt not they will receive your support.
POLICE.
The rapid growth of our city during the past few years, and the Act of the Legislature of 1873 respecting Truant Children, has very materially increased the labors devolving upon our Police De- partment, and made the duties of officers and men much more ar- duous than formerly, and necessitated the employment of several special officers to meet the demands made upon it.
The regular force at this time consists of nineteen members, in- cluding a Chief and Captain ; and the good order that has pre- vailed throughout the length and breadth of our city the past year, furnishes sufficient, evidence of their faithful devotion to the interests of the people. By our limited force, however, certain in- tervals during every twenty-four hours find our city without ade- quate police protection, and as the lives and property of our citi-
11
zens, and the peace and quietness of our city, depend largely upon the constant vigilance of this department I do not hesitate to rec- ommend an addition to the force of six or seven men, that this strong arm of the civil service may be made more effective, and the force so divided as to secure three reliefs in every twenty-four hours, and thus ensure that protection which our citizens expect, and have a right to demand. Under this new regime the labor of the department would be more equally divided, and less special duty would be required.
During the past year the number of arrests was six hundred and ninety two, and the number provided with lodgings thirteen hun- dred and five.
These facts will serve to show you the importance of completing, without delay, the building now in process of erection, and de- signed to meet the requirements of the Police Court and for the accommodation of this and other departments of the Government, the business of which is now conducted with great inconvenience.
The cost of sustaining this department the past year was about twenty-four thousand dollars, and which will necessarily be in- creased some six or seven thousand dollars if the changes proposed are consummated, the adoption of which must, I think, be cousist- ent with a wise economy, and would receive the approval of the citizens.
PUBLIC CHARITIES.
The Board of Overseers of the Poor have granted relief during the year to 922 persons, of whom 193 had a legal settlement in our city : 115 had a legal settlement in other cities and towns in this State, and 614 had no legal settlement in any city or town in this Commonwealth.
The amount appropriated the past year for support of the poor was $8,500.00, in addition to which there was received from other cities and towns. and from the State, $2,140.51. The amount ex- pended during the year was $11,308.94.
The calls upon this Board are annually increasing, but all ap- plications for assistance have received due care and consideration, and the wants of the friendless poor have been faithfully provided for ; at the same time due regard to a proper economy has been observed in the management of its affairs.
Heretofore we have relied upon the cities of Boston and Cam- bridge for accommodations for our sick poor, but for want of room in their hospitals we are required to make other provisions for them, and for this purpose I would suggest that three or four rooms be fitted up in one of the dwellings on the City Farm. This can be done at an expense of a few hundred dollars, and will doubtless answer the requirement of the department for several years. I trust you will see the urgency of this want, and take measures to supply it at an early date.
I would renew my suggestion of last year to employ on our pub-
-
12
lic works those able-bodied men who are willing to labor, but who are unable to obtain employment, and are therefore compelled to ask assistance of the Overseers of the Poor for themselves and families.
The plan proposed will afford relief to both the body and mind of the applicant, and result in no loss to the city.
STATE AID AND SOLDIERS' RELIEF.
' There are still in our midst many Soldiers who voluntarily sub- jected themselves to years of exposure and suffering to aid in the general struggle which resulted in the inestimable benefits to our Country which we are permitted to enjoy, and who should not be compelled to solicit charity for the support of themselves and fam- ilies, but whose wants we should anticipate as far as possible, and cheerfully supply.
We owe a debt to these patriots that we never can fully liqui- date. Let us not then overlook their necessities, but with a watchfulness, to which they are justly entitled, see to it that they are, at all times, amply provided for.
The past year, State Aid was granted to eighty applicants, to the amount of $3,592.50, which sum will be reimbursed by the State. In addition to the above, relief was granted to Soldiers' families to the amount of $1,132.79.
PUBLIC HEALTH.
The sanitary condition of our city has been greatly improved during the past year. The filling up of the basins of Miller's River and the construction of the large sewer in that District, were works of great magnitude and expense, and have produced corresponding results. They have, to a great extent, relieved that locality of an evil that threatened disaster to our own and the adjoining city -reflected on our city's good name - and which would have depopulated the entire district, had it been allowed to continue.
The stagnant pools of water that for YEARS had remained undis- turbed (except to receive the filth of their respective neighbor- hoods) in the vicinity of Franklin, Cedar and Maple Streets and other localities, have been filled up with good material, thus con- verting them into desirable building lots and enhancing the value of the estates in close proximity.
In addition to the above, the low lands in the various sections of our city have received more or less attention by their owners, and many acres, during the past twelve months, have been im- proved by filling.
I trust that a continuance of this important work, so vigorously commenced the past year, and which contributes so much to the sanitary protection of our city, will be insisted upon by you, and
13
such other measures adopted as seem to you to be necessary for the prevention of pestilence and disease within our borders.
Too much care cannot be used in this direction, and much sick- ness may be prevented by compelling all to strictly observe the sanitary regulations of our city.
PUBLIC PARK.
By an Act of the Legislature, passed in March last, the City Council was authorized to purchase, or otherwise take for the pur- poses of a public park, a section of land located between Broadway and Mystic Avenue.
Although this was the ostensible object of the act and of the petitioners who secured its passage, it may perhaps more properly be styled a GREAT PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT.
The land alluded to, comprises some sixteen acres ; is some three feet below the grade established by the city as a sanitary protection, and being situated between Convent Hill (so called) and Winter Hill, is the natural basin, to a certain extent, for the water-shed of these two elevations.
This was being rapidly and densely built upon, without change of grade, and the drainage of many of the buildings erected, al- lowed to flow unmolested upon the surface, thus forming a nucleus for pestilence and disease, that was tending to depreciate the sur- rounding property and to jeopardize the health of the dwellers thereon.
The owners of the adjacent lands, stimulated by the citizens, who possessed valuable estates in the immediate neighborhood, endeavored to secure the objectionable territory by PRIVATE pur- chase, that they might redeem it from its depressed and unhealthy condition, for their own protection at least. But a few of the owners refused to sell their lots at ANY price, and they were thus prevented from consummating their favorite plan.
Two other methods seemed to present themselves to the parties in interest, to enable them to accomplish the object sought for, namely :- either to induce the city to compel the owners of this low and unattractive section, to fill their lands to the required grade, and to provide suitable drainage for the same, or apply to the Legislature for authority to enable the city to take possession of it and beautify it as now proposed.
The former plan seemed to them to be too slow and doubtful to secure the improvement to the fullest extent, and the latter was finally adopted, the sequel to which is familiar to you all.
Permit me, however, to state, that no measure has ever been brought to the notice of the City Council, that received such care- ful and deliberate consideration, as the one alluded to. It was made the subject of much negotiation, that the interests of the city and the citizens might be fully protected, the result of which was, to secure to the city without cost, the land required for an
14
avenue fifty feet wide on each side of the park, and extending the entire length of the same. Also all the filling required for said avenues, and for the sixteen acres comprised within the limits of the park, estimated from twenty to twenty-five thousand squares of earth.
The same parties have also entered into an agreement to reduce Convent Hill to a uniform grade, within three years from July last. Bonds have been given to the city, to secure the faithful perform- ance of these several agreements, and the parties have actively commenced operations.
The net cost of this improvement will not exceed two hundred thousand dollars, and cannot fail to greatly enhance the value of millions of feet of land in its vicinity. In fact, lots in the imme- diate neighborhood, have, in anticipation of the improvement, already advanced from twenty-five to fifty per cent.
It is designed to have the payments for this great work extend over a period of twenty years, and as the bonds issued draw but 63 per cent. interest per annum, it will be seen that the cost of the same, principal and interest, averages $16,825.00 per annum.
Twenty-four estates have been purchased, comprising 637,- 977% square feet of land, costing $103,536.09, or an average of less than 164 cents per foot. There yet remains to be pur- chased four entire estates and a part of four others, containing in all 58,131,7% square feet, or only about one-twelfth of the entire quantity taken under the act.
Contracts have been awarded for carting the filling and for the curbing of the Pond, and I trust every effort will be made on your part to secure the early completion of the improvement, that the benefits which are sure to follow may not be deferred.
Gentlemen of the City Council :
The people of Somerville, four years ago, sought relief from the cumbersome machinery of a Town Government, and by the aid of legislative enactment obtained a charter, that secured to them what they desired, namely, a delegated form of Government, that their affairs might be so managed that the rights of every citizen would be carefully protected and sustained, which it had been found difficult to secure in a mass meeting assembled for the purpose of discussing public matters.
To us, gentlemen, as the Government of the present year, their interests have been confided, and upon us rests the responsibility of so guarding them, that they may not suffer in our keeping.
We shall doubtless be called upon to consider and decide many important public measures, and let us not shrink from the duty however unpleasant it may be, but give the same careful and honest deliberation and decide them without bias or prejudice, so that when our term of service shall have ended, we may feel that our duties have been faithfully discharged and the work entrusted to us conscientiously performed.
