    CITY OF MELROSE MASSACHUSETTS WITH Mayor’s Inaugural Address Delivered January 6th, 1913 PUBLISHED BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN, UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE CITY CLERK Meerose, Mass. Melrose Free Press, Inc. 19H . OLIVER B, MUNROE MAYOR INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF OLIiZER B. MUNROE MAYOR OF MELROSE DELIVERED JANUARY 6th, 1913 Mr. President and Members of the Board of Aldermen, Fellow Citizens : In assuming the duties of the office to which I have been elected by the will of the people, I am keenly mindful of its responsibilities and the seriousness of the service which I am called upon to render. The people are demanding and have the right to demand that those whom they elect to public office shall “make good” and it is a gratifying sign of the times that they are holding those whom they thus honor, to a more rigid accountability for the trust reposed in them. The chief executive who faithfully and efficiently serves the peo- ple must constantly have before him what the best interests of the community as a whole- require, what is most conducive to its material welfare, its growth and prosperity along right lines, involving of course all questions of conveniences and improvements, a wise husbanding of its resources, its increase in enlightenment and morality, the promo- tion of law and order, the safeguarding of life and property, and the amelioration of conditions under which human life is lived. It is evident that the successful meeting of these requirem mts in- volves the putting forth of the best effort of which one is capable.

MAYOR CITY OF MELROSE MASSACHUSETTS Annual Reports 1922 WITH Mayor’s Inaugural Address Delivered January 2nd, 1922 PUBLISHED BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE CITY CLERK AND SPECIAL COMMITTEE THE COPLEY PRESS, Melrose. Mass. 1923 Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2017 with funding from Boston Public Library https://archive.org/details/cityofmelroseann1922mel INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF Hon. Angier L. Goodwin Mayor of Melrose, Massachusetts JANUARY SECOND NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-TWO Mr. President and Members of the Board of Aldermen: We start today a new year in the civic life of Melrose. Problems of considerable moment are calling for consideration. There has never been a time in the history of the city when it has been more essential for its officials to exercise their highest judgment. The tax payers look to us to keep the tax rate down, and yet we know that there are certain automatic increases in some city departments, and we are also confronted with the fact that there will be a decrease in the amount we shall receive from the State for corporation taxes. The conclusion is inevitable that we must make every effort to keep at a minimum the amount to be raised by taxation for current expenses. But our responsibility is not only to the tax-payer of today; it is also to the citizen of tomorrow. We must go forward as a munici- pality. If we try to stand still, we shall go backward. We must be progressive. Many public improvements have been foregone in the past few years, which are now crying for attention.

  • Annual Report Academic Year 2014-2015
    Annual Report Academic Year 2014-2015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Last year’s 2013-2014 Berkman Center Annual Report outlined ideals to guide our work this academic year. Specifically, we sought to continue pioneering teaching and research with new, more sophisticated, and more integrative methodologies and partnerships. In the year that followed, the Center’s portfolio can be viewed in terms of three key areas of increased investment and attention that encompass these same goals. Since 1997, the Berkman Center has catalyzed dozens of projects and initiatives concerning the Internet in three areas of activity: 1) Law and Policy, 2) Education and Public Discourse, and 3) Access to Information. Updates and significant milestones related to each of these areas are described in the following sections of the Executive Summary. In additional to these three focal areas, the Berkman Center has continued to expand its collaboration across institutions and taken a leadership role in building a global research network through collaboration on projects and events. The Center also completed a rigorous revisioning and reimplementation of its organizational processes. Across and within the three areas of activity, platforms, privacy, and public discourse were at the core contexts of many of the Center’s activities in the past year, which were addressed and explored in its scholarship, technical innovations, collaborations, and communications. Platforms include the unowned Internet and World Wide Web itself along with organizations and companies that serve as conduits for online communications. Companies that offer network access (like ISPs) and online services (like cloud storage, email platforms, and social networks), and even government institutions that filter or moderate citizens’ access to content online, play a crucial role in intermediating online communications among individuals connected to the Internet.

FRENCH MAYOR OF MELROSE DELIVERED JANUARY 1st, 1912 Mr. President, Aldermen, Ladies and Gentlemen '. Y the vote of the citizens, I have been called from the ranks, to serve for a brief period as the chief executive officer of the city. In assuming the duties of the office, I wish to thank the people of Melrose for the great honor conferred upon me, and to express my appreciation of the confidence you have shown in me, and the trust you have placed in my keeping. I fully realize the grave responsibility and have solemnly sworn in your presence to serve you faithfully. Municipal government in the United States is passing through a period of questioning and reconstruction. On all sides there is an awakening of citizenship, and increased interest is being taken in methods of public administration. Changes of governmental forms are being tried in the hope of improving conditions. Often these plans seem to be political attempts to change the personnel of the office-holding class. Whatever may be the cause or the motive, the effect will cer- tainly be the evolution of an improved system of municipal control by the people.

Through this passage of time many changes have been made in the original design. The early instruments shown in drawings on the tomb of Rameses II (1292-1225 B.C.) were richly decorated but lacked the fore-pillar. Later the "Kinner" developed by the Hebrews took the form as we know it today. The pedal harp was invented about 1720 by a Bavarian named Hochbrucker and through this ingenious device it be- came possible to play in eight major and five minor scales complete. Today the harp is an important and familiar instrument providing the "Exquisite Sound" and special effects so important to modern orchestration and arrange- ment.
