ANNUAL REPORTS.


very material assistance they have rendered the Executive during the year in the way of able counsel and wise suggestion.


Mr. Vincent has, by his care and the work of detail which his office involves, acquired a well-nigh inexhaustible fund of municipal information, and the department under his direction is a model of its class. The people have recognized this by the large majority given to the City Clerk's three-year term of office bill at the last election.


Mr. Beard has conducted the treasury department since his accession to the office in a manner that is above and beyond any just criticism, and has demonstrated, as he did in his position of national bank cashier, his superior ability as an executive officer and conservative financier.


An unfortunate event of the year has been the unpleasant, though necessary, culmination of the defalcation of a constable who was in the employ of former Treasurer and Collector John F. Cole, whose long services to the city cannot be overestimated, and for whom respect is unbounded, which, while reflecting in no wise upon the latter, has kept his name unduly flaunted before the public. The recent action of the City Government has re- sulted in happily closing this perplexing episode.


Our protective departments,-the Fire and Police,-deserve congratulation upon the long and progressive services of their ex- ecutive heads. Both Chief Hopkins and Chief Parkhurst have served their respective departments since the incorporation of the city,-a proud record of thirty years.


I should not be doing justice either to the city or the indi- vidual to whom I refer were I to fail to commend at this time,- the end of three decades of city government,-our faithful City Messenger, Jairus Mann, who to-day performs, though perhaps in a larger and more varied way, the duties he did for the govern- ment of 1872. "May he live long and prosper" would be the wish of every friend, were they to express their sentiments regarding this genial and faithful official.


An Invitation to Our Neighbors.


The convenience of our city in the matter of facility of travel to and from Boston is not equaled in any other suburb of the me- tropolis. The opening of the elevated railway system caused nu-


41


MAYOR'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS.


merous changes in transportation matters, among them being a discontinuance of certain surface lines from Winter Hill and East Somerville. £ Numerously-signed petitions were presented to President Bancroft, of the railway company, and, after consid- eration, the desires of the people were heeded. The system now seems eminently satisfactory to most people, and if a more perfect transfer system is installed, it will be well-nigh complete.


A cross-town connection, from Cambridge to the Winter- Hill district, seems all that is needed to make transit for Somer- ville by steam cars and trolley lines nearly perfect. The proximity of the massive elevated railway structure to the dwell- ings in the main thoroughfare of Charlestown, and the noise in- cident to the travel, have compelled many of the residents to seek other homes. Somerville offers an advantageous location, espe- cially in its undeveloped districts at Somerville Highlands and Clarendon Hill, the new Powder-House Boulevard and neighbor- ing streets being particularly desirable on account of their sightly situation. It is hoped that many of the better-class people of Charlestown who feel compelled to remove will take up their abode with us.


Social Advantages.


Although entirely distinct from the affairs of the City Gov- ernment, it is fitting that on this occasion there be some expres- sion of our indebtedness to the various religious, social, and fraternal organizations which have added so greatly to our attrac- tiveness. Every peaceful and prosperous church, every large and well-managed fraternal organization, every attractive social club for men or women is a financial, as well as a social, advantage. In some cases they are philanthropic as well as social, as in the case of the Heptorean Club, which maintains a bed in the Hos- pital and a scholarship in college, and of the Daughters of Maine, who have established a Home for the Aged, and of the association that supports a Day Nursery. All of these organizations deserve public recognition and appreciation.


A City of Homes.


Somerville is distinctly a city of homes. This is radically different from a city of wealth or a manufacturing city. Such a


42


ANNUAL REPORTS.


city requires unusual effort to make it beautiful, convenient, and comfortable. It must also have an unusually active local senti- ment. In a manufacturing city families live because they must be there for their work. Men of large wealth seek places pecu- liarly congenial and removed from the masses. The majority of those who reside in Somerville might as well live in any one of twenty other cities and towns, so far as their business is con- cerned. If they come and stay here, it will be because it is healthy, morally clean, comfortable, and convenient, and because sentiment inclines them to come and stay.


During the year some effort has been made to magnify the individuality of Somerville. It is not sufficient that we have good buildings, good streets, and good schools; there must be also social and civic conditions which appeal to the pride and develop the loyalty of the citizens.


Our city abounds in children whom we educate at great ex- pense, and who become prosperous men and women. Our school budget is by far the largest of all city expenses. The schools are our glory, and they will be our best investment, if, as young men and women, the students remain here and contribute to the prosperity of our city. It is a heavy drain, however, upon the city if we educate boys and girls who are to leave us to con- tribute to the prosperity of other communities.


The sons and daughters of natives of Somerville rarely leave the city for any other suburb. But many families have come to us in adult life, and their children did not get sufficiently attached to the city to remain after they were educated here.


It is of the utmost importance that Somerville have a distinct individuality. It is not easy to impart such an individuality to a city with several different centres, as Somerville has; indeed, it is decidedly difficult. The City Government, so far as it is able, should lead in maintaining such an individuality.


With this end in view, as well as an act of justice, the City Government has promptly and appropriately recognized the pub- lic service and personal worth of such men as Charles S. Lincoln, an honored citizen and a leading member of the bar, Colonel Cromwell G. Rowell, who served the city in several capacities, and who won an enviable record in the great Civil War, John N. Ball, representative in the General Court, a successful business man and estimable citizen, and Isaac Story, our distinguished

police court justice, whose record is a source of pride to Somer- ville, by a message from the Mayor to the Board of Aldermen at the time of their death, and by placing the flags at half mast. This sentiment, in connection with the sense of the great bereave- ment sustained in the tragic death of our lamented President, led to the official memorial service on October 13, the first service of the kind in the history of the city, and, it should be said, one of the most impressive and creditable of all those held in remem- brance of Mr. Mckinley throughout the country. The music and all the exercises were by our own citizens. Upon the very general demand that such exercises should be a permanent pos- session, and be preserved as a chapter in our history, the City Government published these exercises complete, as a record of the loyal, patriotic devotion of Somerville.


The Dawn of a New Era.


The first year of a new-born century has passed into history. It has been a year fraught with moment to municipalities and to nations.


The world has paused to mourn with England her great Queen, and with America to mourn her great President. Bowed with grief, it has had thrust home to its heart the majestic truth that governments are greater than rulers, and the words which Tennyson ascribed to the brook we seem to hear from the tongues of the nations :-


"_men may come and men may go, But I go on forever."


It has been a time of almost unparalleled progress in peace- ful pursuits. Financial operations that have amazed the world, remarkable progress in literature and the dissemination of it, un- paralleled individual beneficence, great strides in the development of Nature's forces,-all these are an omen of the greater achieve- ment and grander progress yet to be. And America sets the pace which the world is to follow.


We cannot boast of America, as Campbell did of England.


"Whose flag has braved, a thousand years,


The battle and the breeze,"


44


ANNUAL REPORTS.


but we can claim a land upon which the sun never sets-an em- pire of freemen, where every citizen is himself a sovereign. Under our late lamented leader, our old Ship of State entered upon a new voyage in untried waters. We had absolute faith in her course under his guidance ; we have no less confidence in the hand that guides her now, for


"The man at the helm is brave and strong, Captain and pilot, he."


We are standing in the early dawn of a new era of citizen- ship, and instead of wars and rumors of wars, the great white wings of Peace shall be spread over us, and the world will be prosperous and content. We have taken but a step into the new century-a century which will be the most marvelous that the world has ever known. It promises to be a century ruled by the mind, and not by the sword. Science will be the great master in developing the world's great resources.


Last year, as we paused on the threshold of a new century, our eyes were turned to the past, with all its historic lore. It was a past of revolution, of strife, of privations, and sacrifice,-yet of strong, patriotic ardor. As we looked back through the years, we could almost hear the ringing hoof-beats of Paul Revere's noble steed, as he raced along our highway, bearing the message which led to victory ; the echoes of the British cannon were dying on the free air of America; the grass on Bunker Hill was still moist with the precious life-blood of heroes ; Lexington and Con- cord bore traces of the march of the enemy; and Prospect Hill was pregnant with the enthusiasm that marked the raising of the first American flag.


A century ago, where tiny hamlets dotted the historic land- scape all about us, to-day powerful cities are found, not the least of which is our own fair city, every pulse of its life throbbing with the old-time patriotic impulses.


As we go another step into the future, with all its mystery, with all its wonderful progress, and all its grand work yet to be accomplished, let us perform our duty so that, when the next cen- tury opens, it will be known that our acts and our words aided in the upbuilding of a city of fair fame and splendid achievements.


To the last century belong many of the wonderful inventions which have brought us in touch with the whole world, but greater


45


MAYOR'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS.


inventions will come in the new century, for the key-note of all the future will be "Progress."


The years that have gone have claimed, in the free land of America, a Washington, a Lincoln, a Grant ; the present century whispers tenderly the name of Mckinley; but all of these noble characters will breathe an influence for patriotism, for loyalty, for devotion to principle through all the future.


As we take up the duties of the year, we should look at mat- ters with a broad mind and a generous heart, keeping the fair name of our city unsullied by narrow prejudice or personal feel- ing. We should remember that we are not working for the pres- ent alone, but are building for future generations. Let us be loyal to the city's interests, true to ourselves, and faithful to the people who have trusted us with the management of her affairs. Then shall we hear the song of joy from the lips of the children, see the smile of content on the faces of the people, and realize that duty well done is a pleasure to us, and brings its own reward.


Let us remember that our first duty is to further every good work which will benefit Somerville; let us labor together for her advancement, until she shall be acknowledged by every one the banner city of the Commonwealth.


Somerville! We glory in her traditions and her record. But we do not now regard her with the eyes of the old, who "live backward in memory," but rather would we look upon her with the eyes of the young, who "live forward in hope," confident of her ability to keep pace with the vanguard in the onward march of the world's progress.


With brave hearts, strong wills, and unbiased minds, let us go forward into the future with our banner flying before the world, on which shall be inscribed, "Somerville, the City of Happy Homes."
