ADAMS MAYOR OF MELROSE DELIVERED' JANUARY 7TH, 1918 Mr. President and Members of the Board of Aldermen and Ladies and Gentlemen: During the year 1917 there has come over the city a complete change in the tide of our affairs. On April 6th war was declared and since that time the resources and energy of our people have been pledged to the carrying on and winning of the War. Our local interests, once so important, are now to a great extent set aside. We are engaged in a world wide war and the homes of our people are being depleted by the sacrifice and service of so many young men who have offered their lives for the Country. More than 500 of our boys are taken from the activities of our city and are now in the service of the Country. Our educational interests, social affairs, amusements, plans for a more beautiful city, local business enterprises, are now over- s hadowed and must give way to the support of the men at the front. Our Excellent Condition In this time of stress we are fortunate as a city that our financial aff airs are in such excellent condition, that the public debt is small, that the streets are so generally good, that our water, sewer and drainage systems are so generally complete as to require but moderate new expendi- tures, that schoolhouses are ample for present needs, that our public build- ings are mainly satisfactory, and that our public and semi-public institu- tions are in good shape. If we stop where we now are, and suspend for the present the many long wished for improvements, we shall not suffer in any of the things that are indispensable to health, education or public convenience. We can suspend all so-called improvements without doing anything worthy of being called a sacrifice. It is highly fortunate that so much has been accomplished the past year because conditions of finance, of labor and material will prohibit any great amount of work in 1918. 4 CITY OF MELROSE Our Tax Rate In this rising tide of costs, that reaches every avenue of life, our tax rate last year increased about 8%. No other bill that came to you last year increased so little. I don’t see how it was kept down. Labor was increased 20%. Our schools increased $20,000. Our state tax increased $11,000 OT 33%. Everything we bought increased in price and some things 100%. Our Increased Expenses Besides that, we have been living at high speed. In ten years our pop- ulation has increased about 15 per cent and the valuation of our property about 22 per cent, while our expenses. State, County and local, have in- creased more than 50 per cent. To make up this deficit we have increased our tax rate about 30 per cent. Our State Tax alone has jumped from $18,000 to $43,000 and it increased last year alone more than $11,000. Our schools have increased from $94,000 to $119,000 and that does not include the special appropriation for the improvements to the buildings last year. Our street lights have gone from $13,000 to $20,000, the Police system from $12,000 to $21,000 and the Fire Departmeint from $14,000 to $22,000. Ten years ago we were paying for labor $2.00 per day, now the amount is $3.00. Then the day was nine or ten hours ,now it is eight. Not all these changes have been made by the City Government. The State is mainly responsible, the city itself by popular vote, changed the hours of labor to eight and by popular vote at the last election voted to give the city laborers two weeks’ vacation. The very excellent Work- ing men’s Compensation costs the city $3,000 a year and the pension for city employees and officials, also adopted by popular vote, is just beginning to show in our expense accounts and vill go on increasing year after year. The City Government has accepted the Law of 1917 by which the city promises to equalize the pay of any city employee who leaves the city to enlist in the Army or Navy. No Destructive Parsimony 1 watched closely the inaugural of Governor McCall and heard him urge the careful conservation of all resources, while keeping up those great departments of the State upon which the future welfare of our people so much depends. He did not urge, neither do I, any destructive parsimony, any attacks upon systems of education, or health, or in the care of the poor, or in the maintenance of public institutions, or the care of soldiers’ families, the cutting of wages or changes in hours of labor. / MAYOR’S ADDRESS 5 Special War Activities During 1917 we have had many new and surprising activities that have tested the citizenship and loyalty of the people. It can be truly said that our city has never lagged behind. When the War came, our people put up hundreds of flags. Meetings for recruiting were constantly held. The Melrose Military Training School, which sent a score of its members to Plattsburg, became the Home Guard, and out of that came our two military organizations, Co. E of the 12th Regiment, said to be the best Company in the State Guard, commanded by Capt. B. R. Vaughan, now promoted to Major of the 1st Battalion of the 12th Regiment, and our Home Guard Company now under Captain Turner. The forming of the Melrose Drum Corps of twelve men on duty all the time and without any compensation or any equipment except that which they furnished. Then came the constant enlistment of our boys in Army and Navy until five hundred are now* in the service. Then came the selective draft system, with Wakefield and Melrose in one District, with a Board 'composed of Hon. Claude L. Allen and Dr. Ernest C. Fish, of Melrose, and Maynard E. S. Clemons of Wakefield, a board that has sacrificed time and talent, performing a delicate, difficult and patriotic service. In the work they have been assisted' by twenty-five lawyers and many other volunteer workers. Then came the organization of the Red Cross, with 1,200 members, with workers in every department, supplies, hospital training, knit gar- ments, surgical dressings, and the active work of hundreds of women constant and never failing. The campaign for Red Cross funds amounting to S6,500. Then came the campaign for Gardens and the Conservation of Food, which added fifteen hundred gardens with splendid, substantial results. Then the work of the Fuel Committee composed of Walter E. Piper, Edward E. Babb, and Charles J. Barton, with the many meetings and conferences, and which fixed our price the same as the price fixed in Boston. Then the two campaigns for the Liberty Loans when Melrose took and paid for $1,500,000 Liberty Bonds. Then the campaign for the War Fund of the Y. M. C. A. to which Melrose gave and paid $22,000 in one week. Then the money and clothing for the relief of Halifax, when twelve loads of clothing were collected in one day and sent forward and $1,500 in money was given. Then the Red Cross campaign for our quota of 4,200 members in which we went over the top. ' All these things are a part of our civic life and our contribution as a city to the winning of the war. 6 CITY OF MELROSE Public Workjs Department In the various departments of the city we have kept busy. The Public Works Department has accomplished a vast amount of work under very unfavorable conditions, with a shortage of labor, difficulty and delay in obtaining supplies, and an alarming increase in the cost of everything. During the season $10,000 has been expended in the extension of the water system, about $10,000 for the extension of sewers, and $10,000 for the extension of surface drainage, and more than $30,000 has been ex- pended in the construction of improved sidewalks. It has begun the work of the improvement of Spot Pond Brook for which $12,000 has been provided; $7,200 of this money was the gift of John C. F. Slayton and James W. Maguire. This work will be kept up as fast as the many legal complications will permit. We have rebuilt Hopkins, Lincoln, Malvern, Pleasant, Argyle, Harold and Beverly Streets, Stevens Road and Natalie Avenue. The construction of these streets has been a very high type and some of these streets. Pleasant Street for example, are samples of the best grade of road building any- where for streets of this type. This work done by our own men under our own Superintendent will rank with the best work done anywhere.

CHARLES H. ADAMS MAYOR OF MELROSE DELIVERED JANUARY 2ND, 1917 Mr. Chairman, Members of the Board of Aldermen, Ladies and Gentlemen: At the beginning o£ the work for another year we should express our gratitude for the prosperity and advancemnt in 1916. Through the growth of the Cit> the extensive building operations, creating new property, we were able to reduce our tax rate without any general advance in property valuation. The rate was reduced from $23.70 to' $22.00. By the splendid progress of the City, the actual value of every property in Melrose was increased, but the value for taxation purposes Avas, with minor exceptions, not changed. We are able to so manage our affairs that the Budget was slightly less in 1916 than in 1915. How was it with you in your homes and in business? Did not your expenses increase in every line of expendi- ture? Did you buy anything so low in 1916 as before? On the whole, are you not surprised that our city has been able to get along without increasing your taxes? But all taxes are a burden, and a great burden to some, the subject of complaint and protest, often made by those best able to pay them, and we should seek to take from the people by taxation only the smallest amount possible for the needs of the city.

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.

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.

  • Secondary Student Handbook & Code of Conduct Grades 6-12
    Secondary Student Handbook & Code of Conduct Grades 6-12 2019-2020 Melrose Public Schools Melrose, Massachusetts Melrose Public Schools Dear Parents/Guardians/Students, Welcome to Melrose Veterans Memorial Middle School and Melrose High School. Our secondary school campus represents a place of growth and preparation. We strive to support each child to achieve his/her highest potential by establishing high expectations. In order to make this happen, we firmly believe that the process of education is both lifelong and community oriented. A high level of involvement and good communication between administrators, teachers, parents, and students is essential to reach goals. The alignment of schedules, sharing of resources and collaboration by staff and administration between buildings will provide greater opportunities to challenge and support students. One of our goals is to continue to provide a safe and caring learning environment where all students can succeed. It is our hope that a unified secondary campus will help us in achieving these goals. This handbook and code of conduct serves as a guide, which will be the cornerstone of communication as we work together throughout the school year. It contains expectations around student behavior, personal interactions and responsibilities. Please keep it in a place that is handy for future reference. We hope you will find it helpful. Make sure you and your child/ren sign and return the acknowledgement page of the booklet at the beginning of the school year. Sincerely, Zachary Best Jason Merrill Dr. Zachary Best Mr. Jason Merrill Melrose Veterans Memorial Middle School Melrose High School Principal Principal If you need a translated version of this handbook, please call your child’s school.
