GUEY OF BOSTON
OFFICE OF THE MAYOR CLEY WALL
JOHN F. COLLINS Mayor
February 6, 1967. To the City Council.
GENTLEMEN:
I am submitting herewith the budget allowances for City, County, and Income Departments for the year 1967, which total in the aggregate $183,300,547.
The above figure represents an increase over 1966 appropriations of $16,991,394.50, or less than 10.22 percent. ‘This increase compares favorably with the state budget submitted recently which indicates a 14.82 percent increase for fiscal 1967-68.
A further analysis of percentage increases on state and local levels produced the remarkable differences that while the state budget has increased 84.36 percent since 1959, the City of Boston budget has risen only 45.11 percent.
In the event Boston’s expenditures had kept pace with state spending I would be presenting to you today a budget not of $183.3 million but a budget in excess of $232.8 million, or close to $50 million
_ higher, which would increase the tax rate by approximately $35.
Original budget requests by Department Heads amounted to $190.124,368, which did not contain additional requests of over $6 million for equipment. Thus the final allowances recommended by me to your Honorable Body have been pared $6,823,821.
It has become apparent that increased services, to which the taxpayers of Boston are entitled, have placed an almost unbearable burden upon the existing equipment of the various city departments.
I therefore felt it imperative not only to carry out the normal replacement of worn and obsolete apparatus, but to implement the existing departmental equipment with additional and also new types of modern tools to more efficiently perform the functional services we need to move forward as a progres- Sive city.
I have, therefore, presented to your Honorable Body, just one week ago, a request for authority to borrow five million dollars for this purpose.
There is no doubt in the minds of all of us that crime is our constant enemy, not only in our local community, but also on a national scale, although the crime rate did decrease slightly in Boston in 1966.
I have, therefore, taken steps to raise the living standards and working conditions of our law
enforcement agency. I have further concurred in recommendations of our responsible police officials
by allowing the full sum of money requested by them in their operating budget, plus all requests for equipment, totaling $418,540, which includes not only automotive and communication but also an additional police boat.
Beyond this I have further authorized the expenditure of $250,000 in the capital budget for a completely modern communication system which will permit a more expeditious and efficient evaluation of police activities.
I also am pleased to report to you that the modernization of Boston City Hospital is making excellent progress, and that once again appropriations for the Department of Health and Hospitals have been increased.
(ix)
An increase of four and a half million dollars in the department’s budget is being referred to you today, 50 percent of which is for salary increases and additional staffing for nurses and medical personnel.
Turning to other matters, once again we are confronted with ever increasing Welfare and Veterans’ Services costs.
This budget contains additional funds in these two departments of $6,220,566.14. The total amount we are faced with in 1967 for these activities has reached the astronomical figure of more than $49 million.
It is anticipated that the state will recognize that the problems of our less fortunate citizens are no longer the prime responsibility of the local community but the concern of the Commonwealth as a whole, and that we can expect positive action by our Legislature this year to have the state assume this burden.
A further consideration by the state should be the assumption of the costs of our county govern- ment, which also should be accepted as a benefit to the Commonwealth as a whole and not confined to the local boundaries of our county framework.
The question of collective bargaining creates a delicate situation in requesting funds for the calendar year of an operating budget. This budget makes no allowance for any contractual agreements which have not been consummated to date, but I wish to express publicly that negotiations which subsequently will result in agreement will be funded through supplemental appropriations as deemed necessary.
Boston is faced with two serious financial problems which are presently before our courts.
The first concerns the withholding of state funds because of the decision by the Commissioner of Education, who deemed that the School Committee is not meeting the provisions of the so-called Racial Imbalance Law. It is my fervent hope that the members of the School Committee and the members of the State Board of Education will resolve this problem in the immediate future for the overall benefit of the community and the financial benefit of the city.
The second court case concerns the legal technicality as to what the true meaning of the Sales Tax Law is in respect to the valuation of Boston for distribution of Sales Tax Revenue. The resolu- tion of this problem in favor of the city would be a financial gain which is sorely needed at this time.
There is no question that our tax rate will increase not only because of the legal problems which confront us but also due to the spiraling costs of government over and above this budget before you.
We have done remarkably well during the past seven years in living within our means. The year 1967 confronts us with many intangibles, some of which I have enumerated above, and others including MBTA assessment and school costs. I can say, however, that every effort will be made to hold the inevitable tax rate increase within reason without neglecting the services which I feel are not only needed but also are justifiably expected by the residents of the city.
I respectfully recommend to your Honorable Body adoption of the accompanying appropria- tion and tax orders.
Respectfully,
(x)
CITY OF BOSTON
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DEPARTMENT
ROOM 50, CITY HALL
February 6, 1967. Hon. Joun F. Couuins, Mayor of Boston. DEAR Sir:
I have prepared, under your direction and after consultation with the Director of Administra- tive Services, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3, of Chapter 486 of the Acts of 1909 as amended, in segregated form, the annual budget for City, County and Income Departments, for sub- mission, by you, to the City Council for the year 1967.
GENERAL STATEMENT
The allowances recommended herein reflect an increase over the total appropriations authorized in 1966 of $16,991,394.50. The recommendations in the city budget contain funds to implement the new departments of Public Facilities and the newly created Interdepartmental Community Conserva- tion Committee which will bring about, for the first time, a concentrated code enforcement program for several of Boston’s residential neighborhoods and also the new Eastern Regional Library which will provide greatly expanded library services to all of eastern Massachusetts.
Department requests for 1967 amounted to $190,124,368.. After careful scrutinization of the individual accounts these recommendations have been reduced to $183,300,547 or a decrease of $6,823,821 below the original proposals of the Department Heads.
A summary of appropriations and allowances for City, County and Income Departments are indicated herewith:

The allowances for Income Departments will be met from the revenues collected by these departments and will not have any effect on the 1967 tax rate. Information pertinent to the 1967 budget is presented herewith:
CITY BUDGET
Personal Services: The 1967 allowance reflects a net increase over 1966 of $6,392,811.30. During 1966 two appropriations for salary increases for city employees were approved by you. The first appropriation of $1,738,152 affected the entire year of 1966 and is incorporated in the 1966 appro- priations. The second appropriation in September of 1966 for $1,000,000 was for the last four months of the year. The latter raise resulted in this year’s allowance increasing over $2.5 million for permanent employees. City Hospital and Health Department represents further increases of more than $2 million in 1967. These increases were caused by the creation, of new positions in the hospital facility of $110,000 not provided for in 1966, nurses’ and doctors’ raises in 1966 for which additional funds of $200,000 is required; staffing requirements in 1967 of $900,000; increments during 1967 of $110,000 and a second salary increase for nurses effective January 1, 1967 amounting to $686,000. The firefighters through collective bargaining reflect salary increases of $775,000 and a reorganization of the Building Department resulted in an increase in this department of $130,000, library requirements as a result of pay raises increased $200,000.
Overtime and Temporary help reflect increases due to collective bargaining contracts signed in late 1966, Police School Crossing Guards, $70,000; Police Overtime, $660,000 (Court Time); Fire
Department, $133,000. (xi)
Contractual Services: This account shows a marked increase over 1966 of better than $2.8 million. Departments which reflect a substantial rise are the Health and Hospital Departments of $752,000 for plant improvements; the Public Works Department for a downtown contract for street cleaning of $400,000; street lighting and rubbish contracts show normal raises of over $200,000; the © Boston Redevelopment Authority for surveys and planning, $400,000; the Auditorium which was carried as a special appropriation in 1966 now is segregated for an increase in this account of $268,000; Building Department for demolition of unsafe structures, $151,000; Real Property Department for repairs and maintenance of our public buildings increased $114,000; while our Police Department re- ceived $134,000 above the 1966 appropriation for repairs and maintenance of police buildings and miscellaneous contractual services. Other city departments reflected normal increases over previous years.
Supplies and Materials: An increase in this category of $518,000 is attributable to the Health and Hospital Departments of $448,000; the Fire Department for automotive and office supplies of $22,000; and the Public Library for miscellaneous books and periodicals of $30,000.
Current Charges and Obligations: This account is up $6.4 million due mainly to the ever- rising costs of Welfare and Veterans’ Benefits Relief of over $6.2 million.
Structures and Improvements: The increase in this item of $420,500, shows in the Hospital Department, $275,000; the Park Department of $110,000; and the Public Works Department of $24,500.
Special Appropriations: A net increase in this account can be explained by an allowance to the newly formed Public Facilities Department of $520,000; and the Eastern Regional Library of $150,000.
COUNTY BUDGET
County Budgets show an increase in 1967 of $1,226,000. Personal Services are up almost $850,000 due, for the most part, to salary increases to Judges, Clerks of various courts, Probation Officers and Court Officers approved by the General Court during 1966 for which funds were not appropriated at the time.
Contractual Services: Appropriations to this category have increased by $370,000; the major repairs to the Court House elevators represents $209,000; while Superior Court, Civil Session, Clerk’s Office, is up almost $100,000; for the expenditures to Masters and Auditors of $50,000, and for Jurors, of $50,000. The Superior Court, Criminal Session, reflects an increase which can be charged mainly against jurors, fees and experts employed in the presentation of criminal cases of $143,000. ;
The remaining categories of the County Budget remained fairly constant.
INCOME BUDGET
The over-all increase in this budget of $390,116: is shown in Personal Services for $206,650, resulting from salary increases; $62,517 in Contractual Services; for Data Processing and Repairs and Maintenance of buildings and structures of the Water Division. An increase in Current Charges and Obligations of $47,791 is reflected for the major portion of the increase in the Water Division of the Public Works Department of $34,464; and under Structures and Improvements an increase of $100,000 is the result of additional extensions and improvements to water mains.
CONCLUSION
The preceding paragraphs summarize, in general, a comparison of the recommended budget allowances, for 1967 with the actual appropriations for 1966.
Respectfully,
Meng UT enero)

OFFICE OF NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT 1-01-76
The deterioration and decay of existing structures, especially dwelling units, in the City of Boston has been of co: tinuing concern to those responsible for governing the city. Blight has spread to residential areas which are still consider basically sound and desirable.
The Office of Neighborhood Improvement was organized to prevent the further spread of blight and to eradica whatever pockets of blight exist in these areas. In addition, ONI has been charged with the responsibility of giving hom owners whatever technical and financial advice is necessary to help them improve their property and their community.
Among the many factors responsible for blight has been the lack of a systematic dwelling unit to dwelling unit i spection of all residential property and a centralized plan to accomplish this mission. Until the organization of this offic the responsibility for the correction of poor housing conditions in the improvement areas was given to various separa departments with the result that there was little chance to view the problem as a whole and even less chance to attack it o all fronts with a continuing and centralized program.
Another important aspect of the Office of Neighborhood Improvement’s mission is a sustained and continuing pr gram of education and persuasion designed to inform and instruct the property owner, first as to his duties and responsibiliti concerning his property; second as to the help and assistance available to him through this office for the correction of su standard conditions on his property and for whatever improvements are necessary to generally up-grade the neighborhood.
During the past year an increasing number of community groups have requested assistance from this office. E perienced personnel have been assigned to work with them on all problems concerning neighborhood improvements.
The role of the Office of Neighborhood Improvement as liaison agency between the city and neighborhood groups has therefore, been accelerated.
Early in December, upon request of the Fields Corner Neighborhood Association, this office moved into its thir area of operation, the Fields Corner Community (Sub-Area II).
It is significant, at this time, to point out that more than a half million dollars was voluntarily spent on improvement by residential and commercial property owners in the Codman-Peabody Square Area (Sub-Area I).

YOUTH ACTIVITIES COMMISSION
2 1-13-79
The Youth Activities Commission, established by the Massachusetts Legislature in 1965 (Chap. 391 of the Acts of 965), replaces the Advisory Committee of the Youth Activities Bureau which was created in 1960. The Commission is posed of seven members, five of whom are appointed by the Mayor of Boston, one by the Superintendent of Schools, md one by the members of the Youth Service Board of Massachusetts. The primary purpose of the Commission is to ontrol and prevent juvenile delinquency and to prevent school dropouts.
The programs of the Commission assist school dropouts and others who are unable to satisfy requirements for gain- employment. It places youths in trade or commercial courses. It assists in returning students to schools where, in peration with the Superintendent of Public Schools, special courses have been arranged to encourage their return. Youths have been placed in the Manpower Development Training Act Program, as well as in apprenticeship and other in- ervice training programs. Students have been given technical, educational, and financial assistance in obtaining college ntrance and in attending preparatory courses necessary for college admission. The program has helped in obtaining eaningful full-time employment as well as part-time employment for many students to help them to remain in school.
Through the Youth Educational Assistance Program, more than $37,000.00 in contributions and scholarships valued excess of $40,000.00 have been raised in the past five years,
All appointments, salary grades, titles, and all expenses must have the approval of the Youth Service Board. One half f all expenditures are paid by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has approved tching funds.
