The city, as such, can do little legally to aid any enterprise of this kind however meritorious, but I understand the Parks-Com- mission to be of the opinion that, if there is a likelihood of the establishment of a richly endowed College for Women in close proximity to Clark University, Worcester should at least manifest its appreciative sense of such munificence by the ample provision of open grounds for exercise and recreation. I cordially concur in the recommendation of the Commission, and I have no hesita- tion in advising that the sum asked be granted.
The deed of gift from Stephen Salisbury, Esq., of a tract of land situated between Salisbury Street, Park Avenue and Salis- bury Pond, has been put upon record, and now Institute Park forms another link in the chain of Public Grounds with which we hope to surround our city. Your appreciation of Mr. Salisbury's wise liberality was timely expressed, and it only remains for the city to carry out certain conditions accepted with the gift.
Early in the past Fall the Mayors of our sister cities were in Worcester, and by the courtesy of the Parks-Commission were allowed to drive through Elm Park. What they saw there pleased

and surprised them and equally some of our own citizens, who were ignorant of what an attractive resort had been created at their own doors.
The chapter in the Statutes of A. D. 1882, under which the Parks-Commission was created, provides, under rigid safeguards, for "the issue of a Public-Park loan to an amount not exceeding the sum actually expended for the purchase or taking of lands for a Park or Parks."
I do not leave out of sight the sum of our present indebted- ness. But it may be a question whether this timely provision of suitable land for playgrounds and parks, while they can be se- cured at a fair price, shall continue to be postponed because other demands are forced upon us unjustly and in spite of our earnest protest. Other cities whose future is less assured than our own, are far-reaching and active in this line of development. I am sure that I do not mistake the sentiment of our common constituency when I urge a bold, if careful, consideration of this whole subject.
The Parks-Commission state that an unusual amount of work will be required of them during the current year and therefore ask for an appropriation of $10,000.
CITY ALMSHOUSE DEPARTMENT.
The City Farm still maintains its well-earned reputation for excellence of management, and the business connected with it is in a flourishing condition. The building accommodations, how- ever, are insufficient, and the question of their enlargement will soon demand your attention.
The need of a permanent water supply is most apparent, and
20

its absence would be likely to bring a censure upon the city if a serious fire were to get under way in any of the buildings.
The total expenses at the Almshouse and Farm for the past year have been $27,045 77
Receipts
8,602 04
Net cost $18,443 73
CITY RELIEF DEPARTMENT.
If a comparison of the appropriations and expenditures of this and other cities is a fair indication, there can be no doubt but that our charities have been economically and successfully man- aged. The whole number of persons who have received aid during the past year, either as full support or temporary relief, has been 2,101. The disbursements have been made with a view to keeping within the appropriation, but at the same time with the spirit of justice and generosity.
The entire expenses of this department have been $12,371.95.
SCAVENGER DEPARTMENT.
The value of the Scavenger Department becomes greater each year, and it ought to be thoroughly furnished in order that it may do the greatest good to the largest number. At present the system is very incomplete, and is kept up at a much greater expense than need be. I would recommend that another piggery be established at some point in the southern part of the city, in order to save the useless expense of carrying the swill so great a distance as now, and, furthermore, that we have two stations as headquarters for the teams of our Scavenger Department.
The Expenditures for the past year have been $13,757 66 Receipts. 1,648 35
Net cost. $12,109 31
21
MAYOR'S ADDRESS.
TRUANT SCHOOL.
The number of commitments to the Truant School during the year has been 29, the same number as last year, and the average number belonging to the school has been twelve.
The expenditures have been :-
For teaching and supervision $300 00
board and clothing.
2,515 15
Total cost $2,815 15
The average cost per pupil . $234 60
The amount asked for the total expenditure for the coming year is $49,875.
CITY HOSPITAL.
The work at the City Hospital has been much increased during the past year, the number of cases admitted being 56 per cent. larger than in any previous year, as the report of the Trustees shows. More than half of those cared for have no homes of their own, and many of them have neither near relatives nor friends.
The new building, erected through the generosity of Mrs. Helen C. Knowles, adds a new department to the Hospital, but since it can be used only for a class of cases not heretofore pro- vided for, it really adds nothing to the general capacity of the Hospital.
The expense of the institution has not been much larger than in previous years, while the relative cost per patient has been less. A large amount of the appropriation for last year has been returned to the sinking fund of the city. This is due to the fact that the income from the Hospital funds has been nearly 3
22
CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 42.
$2,000, which is more than was estimated. The amount came from the sale of portions of the real estate left to the Hospital by the Jaques estate. This real estate, however, is nearly all sold, and the increase of income from this source is not likely to be much hereafter.
After a careful estimate, it is thought that an appropriation of $10,000 will be needed for the ensuing year.
HOPE CEMETERY. ยท
Hope Cemetery is the one public burial-place in the city. In the last year, 73 free burials were made and 332 in lots owned by individuals, making a total of 405. The number of lots sold is 104, so that now nearly 2,700 have been deeded by the city to individuals. The inevitable need of more land should be met by ample appropriations as may be from time to time recommended by the Commissioners, who have had charge of the cemetery since it was opened.
POLICE.
The Police discipline during the past year has been good, and the men on the force have behaved well. There have been only two suspensions in the ranks. The state of peace and order of the city speaks for itself, and will stand comparison with that of any city in the country.
The Police Telephone and Visual Signal Service, which was contracted for June 20th, 1887, and completed October 4th, has been in constant use since, and has proved its value, as the following table shows :-
Total number of miles run by patrol wagon since its introduction, 138 Number of prisoners brought in by wagon, . 227
runs made to fires, ... 5
with ambulance, . 6
23
MAYOR'S ADDRESS.
The Signal Service is in use every night for practice and instruction, that the officers may become familiar with its work, and also to show that the boxes are in working order.
The amount of work done by the police during the past year has been greatly in excess of that of any previous year, and the indications point to a continuous and rapid growth during the years to come. As a result of this extra work there has appeared a great need of more careful preparation of the cases, which are brought up in our criminal court. It is impossible, in the face of well-trained counsel in the employ of the defendants, for the police officials to make out their testimony, etc., to fair advantage, and there is certainly a demand for a more methodi- cal and effective way of presenting the complaints of the govern -. ment. In order then to strengthen this weak spot, I recommend the appointment of a person to act as counsel, at a salary not exceeding $1,000 a year, for the police and criminal department of our city.
The financial statement of the Police Department is as follows :
The Appropriations for 1887 were, $85,000 00 66 66 .11,732 06 Earnings
The total receipts were, .$96,732 06
The Amount expended was, $102,235 88 Less Amount paid for land, . .11,616 96
Net expenditure for the year $90,618 92
Leaving a balance for the Sinking Fund of $6,113 04

Building Police Stable, . 10,000 00
Total, $108,077 50

BOARD OF HEALTH.
The sanitary condition of the city during the past year has been good. There has been no epidemic of contagious diseases, in which particular we have been more fortunate than many of our sister cities.
The Board of Health asks for an appropriation of $2,800.
LIGHTING STREETS.
There are at present in the city 614 gas lights, 50 of which burn all night; 1,487 gasoline lights, and 138 electric lights. The Joint Standing Committee on Lighting Streets ask for an appropriation of $68,000 for the current year, which is an increase of $6,000 over the sum appropriated last year. This increased amount is necessary to defray the expenses attending the recent addition of many new lights.
LIQUOR LAW.
The question of granting licenses for the sale of intoxicating liquors is one of the perennial considerations, which agitates the public mind and enters into our politics to so great an extent, that many important questions, which bear no relation to it, are made subservient in the treatment of municipal affairs. There can be no doubt but that the influence of intoxicating drinks, when taken to an excess, is detrimental to good morals, destroys the happiness of homes and renders life miserable to the in- dulgers. Drunkenness is, however, in our midst and we have to consider the best method of controlling it.
The State Legislature, in its wisdom, has passed a local option law, giving the voters of Cities and Towns the power of decid- ing by ballot, once each year, whether or not the sale of liquor shall be legal in their respective Cities or Townships. At the
25
MAYOR'S ADDRESS.
last Election the citizens of Worcester, with a small majority, decided that liquor licenses should be granted in the city.
Although the vote on the question was very large the majority in favor of a license law was very small, yet, however large or small the majority may be, we must respect its will in our repub- lican form of government. I think we all believe that the will of the majority of the voters of Worcester is that a limited number of licenses should be granted and that the character of those who receive licenses should be the best that we can find.
A limited number of licenses will meet my approval, but I urge great care in the investigation of the characters of the ap- plicants. Moreover I advise that the maximum fee be charged for licenses and that the most strenuous efforts be made to enforce laws regulating them, in order that those who pay for their legal privileges shall receive protection in their rights.
It may be that before the first of next May the license law will be repealed and prohibition be the law of the Commonwealth, in which case the members of the Board of Aldermen will be re- lieved of the most disagreeable duty that comes before them. At all events, whether we have license or prohibition, the law must be enforced, and to accomplish this end we need the moral support of all good citizens.
CONCLUSION.
We have to-day assumed the business management of the city for the year 1888, and it becomes us to cherish and guard her interests by our most zealous efforts. In order to act wisely in our office we must strive to regulate our deeds by a spirit of activity and dignity. The proper conduct of municipal affairs does not consist solely in following up small questions, but rather
26
CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 42.
in investigating and attending to broad and profitable considera- tions. I most sincerely hope that during the present year the meetings of all branches of the city government will be harmo- nious, and that the business entrusted to our care will receive the attention it deserves.
The heads of our departments are without a single exception worthy men, and they give abundant evidence of having proper qualifications for their respective positions. With such opportu- nities for information, there seems to me to be no reason why we cannot use our efforts for the most good to the greatest number. With this aim in mind I am sure that we can wisely govern the city of Worcester.
