Legislative documents consist of House and Senate bills, resolutions, petitions, messages and reports, ranging in length from a few lines to one hundred pages or more. The index should prove extremely valuable to anyone doing legal or historical research in the late 19th century. The only other access to legislative documents from 1883 through 1899 is an index for each year which appears at the front of each bound volume of the documents. These indexes are antiguated and difficult to use because of language and indexing phraseology. The predecessor to this index is Francis Blouin Jr. 's Index and Guide to Massachusetts State Legislative Documents, 1802-1882 , which was published in 1972. The successor to this 1883-1899 index is the Legislative Research Bureau's Index to Special Reports Authorized by the General Court , which begins coverage in 1900 and is updated periodically, but limits its scope to only legislative reports. In order to maintain consistency and continuity, the format for each index entry is the same as those of the Blouin and Research Bureau indexes. The first two digits represent the year the document was issued; the letters, H or S, represent the branch of the General Court; and the number following the letter represents the individual document. Thus, 83H255 is House document number 255 issued in 1883. Compiling this index was not without some difficult language related problems. Terminology was often archaic and had to be updated. For example, instead of intoxicating liguors, alcoholic beverages was used. Also, mentally ill was substituted for insane and mentally handicapped for such terms as feeble-minded or idiotic. There was also a problem understanding some of the legal terminology involving bankruptcy, contracts and real estate due to the compiler's lack of knowledge in those areas. Another problem was the lack of consistency with the forms of corporate and agency names, which appeared to be based on the whims of the bills' authors. Cross referencing was one solution, but often the final decision on the form of a corporate entry was based on which name was most consistently employed. A third major problem was the lack of consistency in terminology used in the documents. Language involving transportation, sewage disposal and municipal utilities, to name a few, got extremely confusing as shifts in terminology evolved over the years. In spite of the problems it was rewarding and exciting to observe political and social issues emerging and passing away over time. There was a definite emphasis on banking. -lA- insurance, and real estate throughout the entire period. The growth of railroad and street railway industries is also well documented. Local transportation, water supply and municipal utilities become more important as the years progress. Issues that appeared between 1883 and 1899 that are still with us today include an assortment ranging from abortion and alcohol education in schools to gypsy moth extermination. Social issues that are well documented include religious freedom, women suffrage, and immigration. While it can be admitted that most of the indexing was tremendously tedious, the discovery of these pearls of legislative history and the knowledge that they would become more accessible to researchers, made the index come alive and take on a purpose that made the whole project worthwhile pursuing. Finally, while I proofread and edited this index a number of times, being as careful as possible to catch all errors, incidences of number transposition or typographical error may still be present. I apologize for any such inaccuracies and hope they will not hinder greatly the completion of research or problem solution. -A- -2- A. C.

    ABP Progress and Expenditures Report Pursuant to 2008 Transportation Bond Act Chapter 233 §16 Data is current through 11/15/2015 This progress and expenditure report contains project expenditures incurred as of August 4, 2008 through the report date. This report may not reflect total project cost if the project incurred expenditures prior to August 4, 2008. Column Header Footnotes: 1 PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE - The preliminary estimate is not a performance measure for on-budget project delivery. It is the estimated construction cost value that was included in the November 30, 2008 report to the Legislature pursuant to §19 of Chapter 233 of the Acts of 2008; used for early budgeting purposes only. This “baseline” estimate was established at the inception of the program before many projects were scoped. This estimate included allowances for incidentals for construction such as police details, adjustment for inflation, and reasonable contingencies to account for growth approved by MassHighway/DCR. The Preliminary Estimate did NOT include costs associated with design, right-of-way, force accounts, project oversight, or other program related costs. * Indicates project is one of several that had an incorrect “Preliminary Estimate” and/or scheduled completion, as part of the Chapter 233 §19 Legislative requirement, to provide the estimates and schedules, as part of the 3 year plan of ABP. This Project had actual bid amounts and encumbered amounts, at the time of the filing of the Dec‐08 Legislative Report, but was not properly accounted for in the recording of the Dec‐08 Legislative Report. The Nov/Dec‐08 Conceptual Plan Chapter 233 §19 "Construct Cost" and/or "Completion" in this report reflect the corrected values as approved by the ABP Oversight Council at the March 8, 2010 Quarterly Meeting.

    Annual Report 2020

    2020 Annual Report common cathedral Looking back at the past year, one word that comes to mind is “resiliency.” 2020 brought unforeseen challenges and heartbreaks, but it ultimately made us a stronger community and organization. By God’s grace, this year has given us a new appreciation for digging deep and finding resiliency within. In early March of 2020, as we were learning about COVID-19 and the significant restrictions it would bring to the city and our community, we made the brave decision that we would not close. We would keep programs open and continue to be a radically welcoming place, where all could seek refuge. This was particularly important because many programs across the city were either reduced or closed completely. Thus, our constant presence became a lifeline for folks on the street. It did mean that we needed to rethink our programs to ensure social distancing and to acquire enough personal protection equipment. And we did! Throughout 2020 we did not miss a single day! Sundays continued on the Common with lunch for 150 people each week and worship for all. Our staff took to the streets on Mondays and Tuesdays to find and care for people wherever they happened to be. On Wednesdays we opened common art, offering a place to create beautiful works of art. On Thursdays and Fridays we offered BostonWarm, our day center, where people were welcomed inside to a warm space with food, access to bathrooms, and good company. What we were also reminded of during 2020 is that our supporters, donors, and partners are the best.
