The responsible duty of maintaining the fair reputation and of advancing the material prosperity of the city has been laid upon us. Any plan or system designed to accomplish this desired result will merit and receive our careful consideration. There is much we would all gladly do to render the name of Somerville synonymous with all that stands for enterprise and public spirit, and even civic munificence. While we are not favored as other cities not far removed from us with citizens of wealth who have contributed of their means and perpetuated their memory in the gifts of costly school and public buildings, - while all these, so desirable in themselves, mean to Somerville not only considerable expenditure of the public money, but the closest scrutiny of the public need, yet I believe that the time is at hand when these and kindred subjects must be carefully considered with special reference to the future welfare of our city.


I am satisfied from personal observation and reliable reports that our highways require considerable outlay to place them in satisfactory condition, and that the means to accomplish this should be provided as soon as possible. I believe that the tax-payers would not object to a more liberal expenditure in the improvement and maintenance of streets. The appropriations for highways have not varied much

for several years. When we consider the rapid development of our territory, the demand for new and continual repairs required on the old streets, together with the disproportion of appropriations to the work to be done, the members of the City Government who have had charge of the highway department deserve praise for the work accomplished with the means at their command. The condition of our streets first attracts the attention of one seeking a home in our city. They are the first outward indication of what the city furnishes the tax-payer in return for his money. Somerville avenue, Medford street, Washington street, Broadway near the Boston line, and other principal thoroughfares, seem to require more or less extensive repairs. In this connection I suggest that you consider the expedi- ency of paving Somerville avenue. I do not know that it would be possible to accomplish what has been here suggested within the narrows limits of a single year ; but careful consideration of the street department may result in the adoption of a comprehensive plan which shall form a basis of systematic improvements to be carried forward from year to year until completed. I believe this to be dictated by a true economy, which will prevent a large annual expenditure for merely. temporary repairs.


There are a few subjects, to which I desire to call the attention of the City Council, that it seems to me are worthy of your favorable consideration and approval, if, in your opinion, the financial condition will admit.


1. That a larger amount be appropriated for the care and main- tenance of streets; that our principal thoroughfares be carefully examined with a view to the condition of each, and that the Broadway Parkway be completed according to plans already matured.


2. The subject of providing additional accommodations for the High School will probably be brought to your attention at an early date. I am not in possession of sufficient evidence to warrant a formal recommendation. The subject was considered last year. My predecessor and, I believe, a former City Council favored an addition on the west side of the building. Some definite action is considered imperative. In the regular course of business some plan will be submitted to the City Council, and I bespeak for it your careful consideration.


3. I favor a request made by the chairman of the trustees of the Public Library for a moderate increase of appropriation for the


26

purchase of books. We all, I believe, will concur in the opinion that the library is well managed. Many of the books most in use are worn out and should be replaced. The number of issues of books now exceeds 100,000 annually. Of late the trustees have sought to increase the efficiency of the library by adding the histories of the surrounding cities and towns, and gathering all the information possible relating to the early history of Somerville and its families. Books of this nature soon become scarce and valuable, and it is more economical to purchase them at the time of publication than after they have passed out of print.


4. I recommend a proper observance of the semi-centennial anniversary of the incorporation of Somerville. An association composed of many of our citizens has been organized to secure a celebration of the interesting event, and prepare a programme, which shall be honorable in itself and worthy of a permanent record. The date of the Act of Incorporation is March 3, 1842. Ordinarily it is considered desirable to celebrate such events on the day of the event commemorated ; but owing to the fact that the weather in March is likely to be inclement, and will preclude such an observance as will please the majority of our citizens, it has been deemed advisable to postpone the celebration until the Seventeenth of June. Such a cele- bration will stimulate the public spirit of our citizens and tend to develop more interest in the history of the place. I am informed that the association may request financial aid from the City Council to assist in defraying the expenses of the celebration. Should such a request be received, and the appropriation can be legally made, I recommend that it be granted, subject to such limitations as the City Council may deem advisable.


5. I favor the erection of a memorial to commemorate the services of the soldiers and sailors of Somerville who served in the war which crushed rebellion, destroyed slavery, and preserved the Union of the States. Whether the memorial shall take the form of a substantial and useful public building, or a monumental shaft, as suggested by my predecessor one year ago, I will not now presume to say. If I believe, as has been said, that "the truest and best memorial already exists in the hearts of the people," I also believe that the truest and best expression of it should stand in some visible memorial solemnly dedicated to that purpose. I believe that the patriotic spirit exhibited by the tax-payers two years ago in their petition for


27


MAYOR'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS.


the erection of a memorial still lives. This is not the time or place to discuss the subject, nor am I wedded to any plan, but I commend it to your careful consideration in the firm belief that the city within whose limits lies ground made historic by the Continental Army in the early days of the Revolution will not fail to commemorate by an enduring memorial the services of her own brave sons who sacrificed life, or suffered hardship and privation that the American Republic might not perish from the earth.


GENTLEMEN OF THE CITY COUNCIL : -


Eighteen years ago, as a member of the Common Council of 1874, I subscribed to the oath of office and succeeded in the presi- dency of the Council the gentleman who to-day retires from the mayoralty. It is a singular coincidence that I am here to-day to subscribe to a similar oath, and follow him in the highest office our citizens can confer. I will not deny that I receive this trust with some degree of solicitude. The duties so familiar to him are new and untried to me. He has reached the goal and won his prize, while my feet first touch the course. I am grateful to my fellow- citizens for the confidence they have reposed in me. I subscribe to the oath of office without any mental reservation whatever. I shall devote myself with such capacity and energy as I possess to the administration of this high trust, and will do all in my power to aid you in the responsibilities to which you are called. I ask your co- operation and support in efforts to advance the highest interests of the city. Without it all personal endeavors may fail. The people expect us to be faithful. Let us be loyal servants. Let it be our sincere desire and lofty purpose to render honest, impartial, disin- terested service, guided by no faction, controlled by no party or- creed. Thus shall we secure the richest of all rewards - the con- sciousness of doing right.

IN COMMITTEE ON FINANCE, February 14, 1893.


To the City Council of Somerville : The committee on finance, to which. was referred the annual report of the treasurer and collector of taxes for the year 1892, reports that the treasurer's books have been examined by this committee, and compared with the books of the auditor, also with the statements received from the several committees, boards, and officers of the city.


We have also verified the amount of cash on hand by actual count, and by the reports from the officers of the banks of deposit, and have discovered no errors.


The committee found that the books and accounts of the treasurer were kept in a neat and business-like manner. It is therefore recommended that the report be accepted and printed in the annual reports of the year 1892.

In consequence of the opinion of the attorney-general, that money borrowed temporarily in anticipation of the collection of taxes should be included in ascertaining the authorized limit of municipal indebtedness, the bonds for the above mentioned appropriations, amounting to $53,000.00, were not issued. But as the money has been expended and must hereafter be provided, either by issuing bonds or including the amount in the tax levy, it is proper to con- sider it part of the funded debt, which, after deducting a balance of $40,081.75 standing to the credit of reduction of funded debt account, makes the net funded debt amount to $1,154,418.29.


The current expenses, public improvements, state and county taxes, and debt requirements were provided for by the following
