It is not necessary to go into details as to the internal ar- rangements of the building so far as convenience, health or comfort are concerned, for the universal verdict is that a new city hall is needed for use, as well as to beautify and adorn our city.
I would recommend that a committee be appointed to confer with the Old South parish, to see if terms can be arranged whereby they will relinquish their rights ; if no terms can be agreed upon, then the city to petition the legislature for the necessary authority to extinguish their rights in the common. This action is necessary, whether the city hall is built this year or next, provided that in your judgment the common is the place for the new hall.
So much action as I have recommended ought to be taken at once, so that, if no arrangements can be made with the parish, it can be carried to the legislature early in the session, even if no immediate movement is made for the building itself. The building of the hall this year, or of making a beginning upon it, is a question that I commend to your careful consider- ation. You will observe that nearly every department has asked for an increase in the appropriation over last year. This is demanded by the increasing needs of the city, and, of course, is to be met by the tax levy of the year. If it were the question of adding to the city debt three hundred or even five hundred thousand dollars for the building of the hall alone to be decided, it would be comparatively easy. The uncer- tainty as to our liability for an entire change in our sewer sys- tem, if this change were made obligatory upon us, involves an expense that will startle every tax payer. The liability for the diversion of the waters of Tatnuck brook is still pend- ing, together with the large amount of water damages not yet settled. I should hesitate to recommend the committing of the government to the building of a city hall this year, or un- til the question of water damages or the disposition of sewage be finally settled.

POOR DEPARTMENT.
Indiscriminate giving without investigation encourages pau- perism. Great care is taken in this department, and no worthy applicant ever goes unrelieved, as each case is carefully ex- amined. Money is seldom given, but the worthy are provided with the necessaries of life. The expenditures have been $16,578.96, and they ask for $16,000 the coming year.
The crowded condition of the Almshouse calls for addi- tions to the main structure at an estimated cost of $10,000 ; also a small addition to the pest-house, estimated expense, $600.

The scavenger department has been cramped on account of the small sum appropriated by the City Council, and teams needed to properly collect all the refuse have not been had, and complaints have been numerous. This has not been the fault of the superintendent or the department, as he has done the best he could with the means at his command. If the appropriation asked for of $6,000 for this department is granted, there will be no occasion for complaint in the future.
The report for the Truant school will be found annexed to the report of the Superintendent of Schools, he being chair- man of the committee on the school. The expense was a little less than $2,000 last year. The board ask for $2,000 for the coming year.
The full report of our faithful city physician accompanies the report of the clerk of the board. The transfer of the harmless insane paupers to our own Almshouse has saved the city quite an expense, and they are well cared for by the officials. I would recommend that when the addition to the almshouse is made, that all our harmless insane supported at the city's expense in State institutions be transferred.

CITY HOSPITAL.
The Act authorizing the establishment of a City Hospital provides that the city of Worcester "May establish and main- tain a hospital for the reception of persons who by misfortune or poverty require relief during temporary sickness." The re- port of the trustees shows that of the whole number of patients nearly seventy per cent. are single persons, without homes, being brought mostly from boarding-houses. The patients who pay for their care are but a very small per cent. of the whole number, less this year than for the year previous, and for this reason, and some extraordinary expenses peculiar to the year, the appropriation of 1884 was not sufficient to meet the current expenses although the amount received from the Jaques Trust fund was $944. II more than for the year 1883. The appropriation last year was $6,000.
The trustees ask for the sum of $9,000 for the year 1885. I recommend that this sum be appropriated.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
This department asks for an appropriation of $51,000. There should be a house built near the corner of Cambridge and Southbridge streets for the accommodation of a hose and hook and ladder company. With the increase of manufac- turing and the large number of wooden buildings being erected in that vicinity, better fire protection should be afforded. The report of the Chief Engineer is full and interesting and its recommendations worthy of consideration by the City Council.
The reconstruction of the fire alarm system was completed the past year. I repeat the recommendation of the previous year, that the fire alarm telegraph and other electrical appa- ratus belonging to the city be placed under the care of the electrician and a competent assistant, to be appointed by the Mayor and board of Aldermen, and the compensation fixed by them, and that all electric light wires, as well as telegraph and telephone wires, be strung under his superintendence, the
21
MAYOR'S ADDRESS.
expense of that service to be paid for by the company receiv- ing the service. Valuable time, needed by the city, has been spent by the electrician for the companies and without any compensation.
The Fire Limit ordinance should be revised, as well as the entire ordinance regulating the fire department ; it was framed before permanent men were employed in the department and great improvement could be made in its provisions. I recom- mend the reference of the entire ordinance to the committee on Fire Department for revision.
POLICE.
No department of a municipality causes the executive head of a city so much anxiety as the police. The mayor, as the appointing power, is every year not only obliged to submit to the annoyance of hundreds of applicants for position upon the force, often accompanied by demands from politicians for themselves or friends as reward for service rendered, but he is also obliged to pass judgment upon the fitness, both physical and moral, of the applicant, without the benefit of the enquiry and examination that should be made by a commission, and he is often chagrined and disappointed to find his appoint- ments were not the best that could have been made, with the liability that by the imprudent act of, or neglect of duty by, a member of the police force, his administration may not meet with the approval of the citizens.
This has been the experience of every mayor of the city of Worcester, and many of them have failed to receive the com- pliment of a re-election, after painstaking, careful manage- ment of its affairs, through the activity of disappointed appli- cants for appointment or re-appointment upon the police force.
It is a relief that the appointing power is now to be taken away from the mayor and vested in a commission, under civil service rules prepared by the State commissioners and ap- proved by the Governor and his Council.
3
22
CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 39.
Appointments under these rules will be determined rather by fitness for the position than by favor to the applicant. These rules apply to every member of the police force with the ex- ception of the city marshal, and there will no longer be any inducement to an assistant marshal who has been removed, or for any officers who may have been disappointed in their ap- plications to the mayor for appointment or re-appointment, for such surprising interest in the election of mayor as has been shown in some of our municipal elections.
The police telegraph system is a success in all cities where it is used, and would add greatly to the protection of the city. We are now obliged to detail without pay, every night, four men to preserve order at the hall of the Salvation Army, leav- ing important sections of the city entirely unprotected the early part of the night. With the depression of business and lack of employment crime increases, and our force is too small to give proper protection to the suburbs of the city. I would ask for an addition to the force of four men, making the whole force eighty men. The cost of this department for the year 1884 was $63,854.56; its earnings have amounted to $10,182.42.
You are respectfully referred to the report of the city mar- shal for a detailed statement of the doings of the department. I most heartily endorse his recommendation that an ordinance be prepared regulating or licensing bootblacks and newsboys, as well as the adoption of an ordinance or rules for the gov- ernment of the force.
The appointment of a probation officer was earnestly asked for and recommended by the judges of the criminal courts as well as the prosecuting officers. His report accompanies that of the marshal, and the experience of the year conclusively proves the wisdom of the appointment.
NEW ARMORY.
Although the attention of previous city councils has been repeatedly called to the lack of accommodations in, and the unsafe condition of, the present Armory building, no action,
23
MAYOR'S ADDRESS.
beyond reference to committees, had been taken since the rejection of the proposition to enlarge and strengthen the present building until late in last year, when the committee on Public Buildings reported favorably upon a new building, suggesting location and cost of land. This report is referred to the government of 1885, and will be presented to you for consideration, and I recommend that it receive immediate attention. If we desire to have our military companies maintain their present high rank and standing among the militia of the State, we must provide quarters acceptable to the State authorities. If the building is to be located in the vicinity suggested by the committee it would seem to be good economy for the city to utilize the land it already owns on Mechanic street, and purchase of Hon. F. H. Kelley the adjoining lots on Foster street.
PUBLIC WORKS.
No one who has ever been connected with the City Council has been satisfied with the management of the different de- partments in that they acted independent each of the other. Claims for damages to person and property are brought against the city for injuries received upon the highways and sidewalks, when the sewer, water, gas, electric light, railroad, telegraph or telephone companies' agents were the primary cause of the injury by their neglect to leave the locality in as good condition as they found it, and heavy damages have been paid by the city when no injury or damage would have ยท been sustained had not the several departments acted entirely independent of the highway department.
Over one-half million of dollars was expended the last year under the direction of four independent committees, without harmony of action, in the purchase of material or of conduct- ing the work. It is evident that while the city is using such large amounts of brick, cement, hay, grain, and other supplies and material, that it is for its advantage that the purchase of them should come under one head. The use of teams for the
24
CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 39.
city work should come under one department; both the water and sewer departments have to hire teams. The past year the sewer department alone has paid out over $8,000 for outside teams. If water, gas, sewer, incandescent light are to be placed in a street, if telegraph or telephone poles are to be erected, grade of street or sidewalk changed or repaired, it should all be done under the direction and care of one execu- tive head. I recommend the appointment of a joint special committee to report an ordinance for a board of public works.
The good name, the social standing and moral character of Worcester, depends upon the fidelity with which we discharge our duties. No work should be done on the Sabbath day in any of the departments of the city that is not a work of abso- lute necessity. The city has voted to license the sale of intoxi- cating liquors ; to some of the difficulties attending the en- forcement of the license law you may find allusion in the report of the city marshal. Every effort should be, and will be made to suppress illicit selling, or sales by licensed dealers to minors or upon the Sabbath day.
Gentlemen :- I have presented to you, in this way, the sev- eral departments and their needs. If we are faithful in the discharge of our duties, the welfare of the city will be pro- moted, if we neglect them it will be injured; criticism we can not hope, and should not desire, to escape. With patience, pru- dence and firmness let us perform the work committed to us by the people, and so guard the interests to-day intrusted to us that when we deliver them to our successors they shall receive them unimpaired.
