LAW DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF THE LAW DEPARTMENT
December 31, 1933.
To the Honorable the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen of the City of Somerville
The annual report of the Law Department for the year ending December 31, 1933, is hereby respectfully submitted for your information and consideration :
There were no amendments to or changes in the City Charter and no laws were passed especially affecting the City of Somerville by the Legislature during this year.
There were, however, two bills filed, one reducing the num- ber of assessors, and the other relating to the City Auditor, but no action was taken by the Legislature on either of these bills. The Legislature also passed an act placing the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department under Civil Service Laws. This law was accepted by the voters at the last election, but did not affect the status of the present Fire Chief, who holds his office under the Tenure of Office Act. The Soldiers' Relief Commissioner was also placed under the Civil Service Laws- The present Soldiers' Relief Commissioner by virtue of this act is now subject to the Civil Service Laws and Regulations. This act was accepted by the Board of Aldermen as required by the provisions of this law.
Due to certain inequalities in the recent Somerville Retire- ment Act it was necessary to secure an amendment to correct them. With the assistance of James W. Kenney, Chairman, Lawrence A. Howard, Secretary, and Francis J. Daly, City Auditor, comprising the Somerville Retirement Board, a new amendment to this law was drafted, and I filed a bill covering the proposed changes in the Legislature for its consideration. After several hearings before the Pension Committee of the Legislature, and consultation with the Legislature Counsel, and the suggestions and advice of James W. Kenney, a bill was finally drafted, and passed by the Legislature, which in my judgment will result in a fairer and more equitable interpreta- tion of the Pension Rights of all city employees coming un- der the jurisdiction of the Somerville Retirement Board, and subject to the provisions of the Somerville Retirement Act.
See Chapter 222 of the Acts of 1933.
378
ANNUAL REPORTS
A bill was also filed to reduce the number of members of the School Committee, known as House Bill No. 1092. This bill was given me to withdraw by the Committee on Education of the Legislature. There was also a special report of the Metropolitan District Commission reporting under authority of Chapter 31 of the Resolves of 1932 relative to purchasing certain property owned by the Hinckley Rendering Company between Mystic Avenue and the west bank of the Mystic River in Somerville for park purposes. This report submitted a pro- posed bill recommending the purchase of the property, but the Legislature after a hearing referred the matter to the 1934 session of the Legislature for further consideration.
A slight change in the recent so-called non-partisan act was made changing the hours of voting at the preliminary election so that the polling places could be opened from 12 noon to 9 P. M. as heretofore.
See Chapter 16 of the Acts of 1933.
As usual, it was necessary, and I attended many hearings, before the various committees of the Legislature on matters affecting the City, and paid particular attention to legislation, which, if enacted into law, would mean additional assessments on the City, and result in additional tax burdens on the tax- payers of our City. In behalf of the City I opposed such legisla- tion.
Conferences were also had with various state departments on business affecting the City, and especially with reference to various emergency laws passed to effect temporary relief for the tax-payers, and to assist in maintaining the financial credit of the City.
BOARD OF TAX APPEALS
There are now pending before the State Board of Tax Appeals thirty cases appealing from the decision of the Board of Assessors refusing abatements of certain taxes levied on various property owners during the year 1932. Many con- ferences have been held with the Board of Assessors, and with attorneys representing many large tax-payers seeking to obtain an adjustment of the alleged high assessments on the real estate mentioned in the various petitions for abatement. The necessary answers have been filed in behalf of the Board of As- sessors on all these cases, and several of the cases were dis- posed of during the year by trial before the Board of Tax Appeals, or by agreement between the Board of Assessors and
379
LAW DEPARTMENT
the complaining tax-payers. There are, however, still pending these thirty cases above noted, which are of serious importance to our citizens and tax-payers in that, if any large abatements are granted by the Board of Tax Appeals, it will of necessity mean additional burdens on the other tax-payers, and may pos- sibly result in an increase in our tax rate. The action of the Board of Tax Appeals in granting any abatements or reduc- ing any of the assessments on any of these cases is wholly beyond the control of the Board of Assessors or the City Gov- ernment, because the decisions of the Board of Tax Appeals on all questions of fact concerning the full and fair value of the real estate assessed are final, and the City has no appeal therefrom.
In order to successfully defend these cases, either the Board of Assessors or the Law Department should be given sufficient funds so that the cases may be properly prepared be- fore trial, and real estate experts employed to make a survey of the property concerned in each for the information and guidance of the Board of Assessors and the City Solicitor. If this extra expense is not provided for the City will be at a disadvantage in attempting to successfully combat the test- imony of high priced real estate experts and building engineers who will undoubtedly be employed by these complaining tax- payers in their efforts to reduce the so-called large assess- ments on their property.
The great majority of these cases now pending before the Board of Tax Appeals are not the complaints of the small home owners or tax-payers, but rather the complaints of the large property owners and tax-payers who have the financial resources to employ eminent attorneys and high-priced real estate experts to present their case in its most favorable as- pect before the Board of Tax Appeals for its final determina- tion.
During the year it was necessary, and I prepared var- ious contracts and forms for publication of proposals for con- tracts as required by the new law requiring advertising on all contracts over One Thousand Dollars, for the different depart- ments, and also advised them on these contracts.
The approval of the various bonds required to be furnished by City officers, and the numerous bonds required by statutes and ordinances, were also considered by me, and approved as to form. The various contracts entered into by the City were also examined by me and approved as to form only, in carrying out my duty as City Solicitor, so that the interests of the City
380
ANNUAL REPORTS
would at all times be safeguarded, and the necessary bonds ap- proved as required by the Statutes or City Ordinances.
Many conferences were held with Department head's re- lating to legal problems confronting them, and written opin- ions or advice furnished at their request. As usual, many con- sultations were had with the Building Commissioner and citizens on cases arising in connection with the enforcement of the zoning laws.
Various orders and ordinances were prepared by me for the Board of Aldermen, and several opinions were given on request of the Board of Aldermen, to which reference may be had in the records of the Board of Aldermen.
While the work of the City Solicitor for the past four years, the most critical in the history of our City, has been very arduous and exacting, yet it has been a pleasure to work with the various Department Heads and Board of Aldermen on problems concerning the City, and I wish to thank them for their cooperation and the many courtesies which they ex- tended to me, and which greatly assisted me in the perform- ance of my duties.
During this period of time my assistant, Robert J. Mul- doon, Esq., has had full charge of the settlement of all claims against the City on account of alleged defects in highways. Due to his careful and conscientious work, both in the settle- ment of claims and trials of the various suits against the City, he has saved the City large sums of money. He has cooperated with me in every way, and it has been a pleasure to have had the benefit of his assistance.
The report made by Robert J. Muldoon, Esq. covering that portion of the work of the Law Department in his charge is herewith submitted as part of this report.
Respectfully submitted,
DAVID J. KELLEY, City Solicitor.
381
LAW DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF ROBERT J. MULDOON, ESQ., FOR THE YEAR 1933
Herewith I submit a report covering that portion of the work of the Law Department of the City of Somerville which has been in my charge for the year 1933. The following is a summary of the claims and suits against the City which have been handled by me in 1933.
Highway Accident Notices of Claim
Pending December 31, 1932 118
Claims filed in 1933 70
Settled, entered in Court or otherwise disposed of 78
Pending December 31, 1933
110
Cases in Suit
Pending December 31, 1932 67
Suits entered in 1933 22
Settled or otherwise disposed of
16
Pending December 31, 1933
73
. During the year the number of suits entered against the City were principally for damages alleged to have been sus- tained by reason of defective highways, and exceeded the num- ber settled or otherwise disposed of during that period. How- ever, the number of suits entered this year was about fifty per cent of the number entered in 1932 when there were forty-one suits brought.
Th number of claims filed against the City showed an ap- preciable drop from the number filed in 1932, marking the first year when there was such a drop in the number of claims filed since 1930. This dropping off in claims may be attributed to two causes, the policy of the department, at the suggestion of his Honor the Mayor, that none of these claims be settled with- out having them entered in Court, and the further reason that beginning in 1932 a police officer has been detailed to the in- vestigation of these claims. I believe that the investigation which has been undertaken in regard to all claims against the City in the past two years has been a deterrent to claims of doubtful merit.
Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT .J. MULDOON, Assistant City Solicitor.
