RECREATION COMMISSION


December 31, 1947.


To the Honorable the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen :-


For the three years 1944-45-46, the Annual Reports of the Recreation Commission have, in considerable detail, indicated that the Commission had been facing its assignment with rec- ognition that the Recreation Service had needed, as of Janu- ary 1, 1944, an over-all resuscitation - following the general deterioration of the Service during the ten-year period ending December 31, 1943. Now, at the close of 1947, the key-note of the situation is that during the past year there has been a CONTINUANCE of the return towards conditions that had been normal in the early Nineteen-thirties. More specifically, the program of activities for BOYS AND GIRLS has not only returned altogether to normal; but some developments have been made in the past year in the activities program for ADULTS. The latter developments have consisted largely in the expanded athletic activities for young adults, especially in Softball and Basketball. Beginnings have been launched in Basketball for young women, and in Handcraft activities for women of various ages. There STILL REMAINS THE NEED FOR RESTORATION OF THOSE PHASES OF THE ADULT PROGRAM WHICH MUST DEPEND UPON THE REVIVAL OR REPLACEMENT OF THE FOUR INDOOR RECREA- TION CENTERS AND THE INDOOR GYMNASIUM ACTIV- ITIES FOR ADULTS.


The outstanding development of the year 1947 has been the set-back to the Commission's long-standing plans and hopes represented by the City's refusing or omitting to provide ap- propriate building for indoor Recreation Center as recommend- ed by His Honor the Mayor in January 1947 after many years of this Commission's urging the provision of one or more of such Centers. The Recreation Commission, having made a rec- ommendation for the purchase of a well-adapted building on Sycamore Street, renews now its urgent recommendation that that building-still available-be purchased by the City. In the judgment of the Commission and many competent persons con- sulted, the cost of the building would be negligible in propor- tion to the great service that could be rendered through its use -a service which is impossible without the building or its equivalent.


312


ANNUAL REPORTS


The most noteworthy expansion in the activities program during the past year has been in the activities of the Children's Theatre. About 150 boys and girls are active in the Children's Theatre proper, and almost an equal number are active in the Youth Theatre, whose membership consists of older boys and girls. If the proposed purchase of the Recreation Building were made, these activities in Community Drama would certainly expand in multiplied degree.


There has been a successful devolpment in the Community Chorus and the beginning of a teen-age Chorus. The Commis- sion expects further and progressive developments in this line during the coming year; but repeats its urgent statement that the success of such recreational activity depends again upon the procurement of proper indoor recreational facilities such as would become available if the proposed purchase of building as Recreation Center were made.


The Summer Playgrounds season of 1947 was one of the most successful in the 35-year history of the Summer Play- grounds. Twenty-one units on 23 areas were conducted, with an aggregate daily attendance approximating 5,000 and a re- markable constancy in the daily attendance figure from the be- ginning to the end of the season.


A greater interest than in any previous season has been manifested by the adult public, especially the parents of child- ren who frequent the playgrounds. The customary special events which involve all of the playgrounds-the Annual Twi- light Play Festival, the Annual Inter-Playground Athletic Meet, and the Annual Inter-Playground Paddle Tennis Tourn- ament-have been more popular and have elicited a greater adult attendance, than ever before. About 16,000 Somerville citizens were assembled at Tufts Oval at twilight time on August 20 for the Annual Twilight Play Festival. This num- ber included more than 4,500 actively-participant boys and girls who are daily frequenters of the playgrounds, and between 11,000 and 12,000 adult spectators. To the Commission there have come a large number of commendatory messages including formal letters, all commending the quality of the Summer Play- grounds service, the high calibre of the employed leadership staff, and the efficiency with which the special activities were conducted.


For an understanding of the specific implications of the statements contained in this report up to this point, reference


313


RECREATION COMMISSION


to this Commission's Annual Reports for 1944 and 1945 is de- sirable. For brevity and economy this present Report is pre- sented in the light of these earlier Reports.


A financial statement is attached hereto.


The Commission gratefully acknowledges the marked co- operation, experienced during the year 1947, from His Honor the Mayor, the Board of Aldermen, the City Engineer's De- partment, and the Public Buildings Department. The services through the Commission have been enhanced also by the ready co-operation of the Police Department, the Superintendent of Schools, and the Masters of the Senior High and Junior High Schools and the Supervising Principals and Teachers of the Elementary Schools.

316


ANNUAL REPORTS


coholic Beverages Control Commission. The Somerville Commis- sion voted "LEAVE TO WITHDRAW" on six applications. Three of these applicants appealed to the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission and said Commission voted on two of these appeals to sustain action taken by Somerville Commission and on the other appeal they voted "GRANTED". Therefore, two Beer & Wine Pack- age Goods Store, Not To Be Drunk On The Premises, Licenses were issued in 1947.


3-Applications for All Forms Alcoholic, To Be Drunk On The Prem- ises, License and Common Victualler's License. On one application the Somerville Commission voted "LEAVE TO WITHDRAW" on the Liquor part of application and "GRANTED" on the Common Victualler's section of application. This applicant appealed to the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission which Commission voted to sustain action taken by the Somerville Board. On another ap- plication the Somerville Commission voted "LEAVE TO WITH- DRAW" on both the Liquor and Common Victualler's part of ap- plication. One applicant withdrew application.


1-Application for All Forms Alcoholic Club, To Be Drunk On The Premises, License. The Somerville Commission voted "LEAVE TO WITHDRAW" on this application.


FOR A 1948 LICENSE :


4-Applications for Beer & Wine Package Goods Store, Not To Be Drunk On The Premises, License. The Somerville Commission voted "LEAVE TO WITHDRAW" on one application. Two appli- cants withdrew application. The Somerville Commission voted "GRANTED" on one application and this was "APPROVED" by the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission. This license is to be issued in January 1948.


The Somerville Commission received ten applications for transfer of license which they "GRANTED" and the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission "APPROVED" same as fol- lows :


1-Transfer from individual to another individual


1- individual to partnership


4-


individual to corporation


3- " one corporation to another corporation


1- one partnership to another partnership


One transfer from individual to a corporation occurred at renewal time, therefore same did not go into effect until 1948.


The Somerville Commission also received five applications for additional premises and three applications for transfer of location. They "GRANTED" these applications and same were "APPROVED" by the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commis- sion. One of these applicants for a transfer of location was una- ble to move into new premises in 1947, therefore license for


317


LICENSING COMMISSION


1948 was renewed at address of old premises and an amendment was made to this renewal which would permit licensee to oc- cupy new premise in January 1948.


The established policy of the Licensing Commission rela- tive to routine matters of office procedure has not materially changed. The Somerville Licensing Commission after inspec- tion and consideration decided to continue their policy of re- stricting so-called entertainment in all restaurants. Only the radio and music box was allowed for the year with two excep- tions :- Coyne's Sportmen's Grill, Inc. - d/b/a - "Memory Lane" and P. J.'s Griil, Inc., which was issued a full entertain- ment and dance license for 1947.


The Licensing Commission at their meeting of June 26, 1947 passed the following regulations :-


"Regarding Liquor Licenses, effective June 30, 1947, an individual, partnership, or manager of a corporation shall be a citizen of the United States and a resident voter of the City of Somerville except those who served that capacity prior to June 30, 1947."


"Effective June 30, 1947 a Common Victualler's Li- censee holding an All Forms Alcoholic Beverages Li- cense, to be drunk on the premises, shall not open for business before 8:00 a. m. and shall close such business at 12:00 midnight."


A general inspection of all restaurants brought out the fact that all establishments are now equipped with adequate toilet and washing facilities. The Licensing Commission feels that the high standards which now exist in our City are due to the splendid work done by our Health Inspector Thomas J. Hagerty and Police Inspector Captain Thomas M. Sharry.


We acknowledge the splendid co-operation and whole- hearted support given our Commission by our inspectors Cap- tain Thomas M. Sharry of the Police Department and Thomas J. Hagerty of the Board of Health Department. We also wish to acknowledge the efficient and faithful service of our clerk Mary I. Kenney.

VETERANS' SERVICES


REPORT OF VETERANS' SERVICES


April 7, 1948.


To the Honorable, the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen of the City of Somrville


Gentlemen :


I am submitting the annual report of the Veterans' Serv- ices Department, in which is presented a tabulated statement showing the aid rendered to the veterans and their dependents. because of service in the Civil and Spanish Wars, World War I and World War II, for the year ending December 31, 1947.


The amounts expended for the different types of aid were. as follows :


War Allowance


$1,282.50


Veterans' Benefits (Somerville)


26,020.19


Veterans' Benefits (State)


25,376.56


Soldiers' Burials


200.00


Total Expenditures $52,879.25


Effective January 1, 1947 the amount of Veterans Benefits: allowed on each application had to be approved by the Commis- sioner of Veterans' Services, State House, Boston. Because of the increased cost of living the State authorized higher budgets. Consequently our payments for last year have reached a higher total figure. Several other factors such as increased hospital rates and medical aid of all types as well as increase in the number of needy parents and other types of applications have contributed to the increase in expenditures over the previous year.


We have continued to assist veterans and their dependents to obtain benefits through the Veterans' Administration as well as to advise them on local benefits. Photostatic copies of dis- charge certificates have been furnished for all purposes requir- ing such copies. Employment was secured for a number of vet-


320


ANNUAL REPORTS


erans. During the year we cooperated with the Somerville of- fice of the Veterans' Administration in an effort to help vet- erans to establish their claims or to complete their choice of Government insurance policies. A considerable number of vet- erans were assisted by the department to redeem their Term- inal Leave Bonds. We are receiving bulletins at regular inter- vals from the Commissioner's Office in Boston relative to addi- tional benefits that are available to veterans. The department is cooperating closely with all agencies, both public and private, in an endeavor to provide prompt and efficient services.


Very truly yours,


THOMAS F. MCGRATH, Commissioner

PLANNING BOARD


REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD


April 16, 1948.


The Honorable, the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen Somerville, Massachusetts


Gentlemen :


The Planning Board of the City of Somerville herewith respectfully submits its annual report for the year ending De- cember 31, 1947.


Applications for zoning changes were acted upon, after public hearings, and recommendations forwarded to the Board of Aldermen for final action. All monies received in this con- nection have been turned over to the City Treasurer and in- corporated in his report.


As in previous years, the Planning Board requested an ap- propriation in its 1947 budget for the purpose of revising the zoning map, but without success. The board feels that this pro- ject is worthy of immediate attention. In addition, the board has annually requested a small appropriation for the purpose of enlarging its activities, but never obtained same. The mem- bers of this board render their services as a civic duty, but they cannot accomplish very much without the necessary appropria- tions.


Once again the Planning Board sincerely recommends the adoption of Chapter 211 of the Acts of 1936, known as the Im- proved Method of Municipal Planning, so that this board may have the authority, as in neighboring towns and cities, to take an active part in our city government.


Respectfully submitted,


PLANNING BOARD, DAVID B. NISSENBAUM, Chairman ANTHONY SCOLLES ERNEST BRENNER, Secretary PATRICK J. LOGAN PATSY BARONI

Gentlemen :


I herewith respectfully submit the Annual Report of the Electrical Department for the year ending December 31, 1947.


INSPECTION OF WIRING IN BUILDINGS


Constant inspection and re-inspection of electrical wiring and attachments thereto revealed many cases of defective and unapproved wiring. In all such cases persons effected were no- tified and conditions corrected or circuits sealed against use.

FIRE ALARM SYSTEM


All time necessary to keep this system in good operating condition has been devoted to same. By continually checking and regular monthly tests of box equipment, and by leaving nothing to chance, this system has given good service. The power failures of the Boston Edison services which occurred during the month of December on two successive nights, throughout the entire city, clearly demonstrated the need for auxiliary sources of supply. Therefore I again recommend the purchase of such a standby unit.

POLICE SIGNAL EQUIPMENT


In case of a total or partial power failure throughout the city, police and fire alarm headquarters immediately becomes the focal points of our citizens for information and guidance. Under such conditions our two-way radio system can render great service to both police and fire departments. However a current failure that effects the police headquarters lighting system likewise renders the radio system inoperative. There- fore I recommend the purchase of a gasoline driven auxiliary power unit.

The system consists of 29 intersections, 15 of which are equipped with pedestrian push buttons.


SUPERVISION OF POLES AND WIRES ON THE STREETS


All poles were inspected by the utilities owning same and all unsafe poles removed or replaced.


STREET LIGHTING


Substantial progress has been made on a program to im- prove the street lighting on our main streets. On Highland Avenue 41 new 10,000 lumen lamps were added. Washington Street from the Cambridge Line to the Monsignor McGrath Highway was changed over from lamps and equipment of vari- ous sizes and types to a uniform system of 45-10,000 lumen lamps with type 79D luminaires. In the Union Square area the 18 existing No. 5050 type lamps posts were changed to the new modern type No. 6 concrete lamp posts with No. 79D luminaires. Holland Street lighting was likewise improved by the removal of the old type lamps and fixtures and the installa- tion of 20-10,000 lumen lamps with 79D type luminaires.
