Excerpt from Inaugural Address of John H. Perry: Mayor, to the City Council of New Bedford, Delivered Before the Two Branches in Convention, January 7, 1867
Gentlemen of the Board of Aldermen and Common Council:
In compliance with the requirements of the City Ordinances you are here convened for the purpose of inaugurating the Municipal Government for the present year. Not called here by any party or political organization, but with the unanimous consent of your fellow citizens, you are the more free to meet every question that may arise, to perform every duty that may devolve upon you in your various positions, strictly in accordance with the solemn obligations you have at this time taken upon yourselves, fearlessly and impartially, ever having due regard for the best interest of our city. Let us enter upon our work as servants of the people, fully determined to act faithfully, promptly, and conscientiously.
Introduction Of Water.
As stated in my address one year ago, the City Council had ordered the introduction of a supply of pure water for manufacturing purposes in the lower portion of the city, and had appointed Commissioners to carry into effect that portion of the work. I am satisfied the gentlemen so appointed have acted cautiously, wisely, and for the best interest of the city. The high cost of materials, in fact the utter impossibility of obtaining the requisite quantities, has caused unavoidable delay in its construction. I am happy to say that arrangements are now perfected that will allow of its speedy completion.
