INAUGURAL  ADDRESS 

By  John  W.  Storrs,  Mayor  of  Concord 


In  the  1906  report  of  the  City  of  Concord,  I  find  in  the 
inaugural  address  of  a  late,  highly  respected  and  illustrious 
mayor,  a  statement  as  follows : 

"This  occasion,  unprecedented  in  the  annals  of  Concord, 
cannot  but  impress  me.  Chosen  by  the  voters  of  this  city  to 
a  third  term  as  mayor  is  an  honor  which  I  shall  always  hold 
dear.  As  it  was  at  my  first  election  and  at  my  second,  so  it 
has  been  in  my  third  election,  an  honor  all  the  more  prized, 
because  it  came  without  price  or  solicitation.  To  be  called 
to  a  public  service  in  this  manner  is  in  my  opinion  to  enhance 
the  trust  and  to  dignify  the  office.  Surely  the  debt  of  grati- 
tude which  I  owe  to  my  fellow  citizens,  because  of  their 
reiterated  partiality  toward  me,  is  such  that  I  cannot  hope 
to  lighten  it,  except  by  constant  diligence,  unwearied  effort, 
honest  and  courageous  discharge  of  duty." 

This  is  a  beautiful  sentiment,  charmingly  expressed;  its 
assertion  borders  somewhat  on  a  slight  implication  of  au- 
dacity, but  in  similar  position  one  cannot  resist  the  feeling 
of  satisfaction  and  uncontrolled  elation.  The  re-election  to 
any  office  cannot  be  construed,  but  as  a  most  complimentary 
gesture  and  an  indication  of  approval  of  prior  activities, 
and  confidence  that  mature  thought,  proper  consideration 
and  disposal  will  be  made  of  problems  that  in  time  to  come 
present  themselves. 

Any  of  our  outstanding  accomplishments  of  the  past 
four  years  are  not  due  to  me  alone,  but  to  those  who  with  me 
in  control  of  city  affairs  have  co-operated  and  assisted  to 
their  utmost  in  promoting  the  interests  of  the  municipality. 

I  am  depending  upon  and  feel  sure  of  future  concurrence 
with  and  by  members  of  this  present  board  and  its  appoint- 
ees! It  is  with  this  imbued  courage  that  I  am  assuming  the 
obligation  of  this  office. 

I  think  in  many  inaugurals  of  the  past,  there  has  been 
given  a  review  of  bygone  undertakings,  or  performances  of 


4  CITY  OF  CONCORD 

our  different  departments,  and  suggestions  made  as  to  bet- 
terments and  what  should  be  done  during  the  coming  period; 
these  we  will  omit  at  this  time.  All  of  our  records  are  public; 
they  are  readily  accessible  and  comprehensive,  and  you  as 
members  of  this  Board  are  not  in  any  way  relieved  of  the 
responsibility  imposed  upon  you  if  you  neglect  to  familiarize 
yourselves  with  all  business  of  the  city,  of  the  different  re- 
quirements and  activities,  including  cemeteries,  parks,  police 
department,  fire  department,  tax  collector,  health  depart- 
ment, weights  and  measures,  water  works,  playgrounds, 
recreation,  trees,  sidewalks,  sewers,  utilities,  public  institu- 
tions, city  library,  Works  Progress  Administration  projects, 
lands,  buildings,  etc.,  together  with  holidays  and  appropria- 
tions for  band  concerts,  Fourth  of  July,  Armistice  Day  and 
Memorial  Day. 

Continued  reiteration  of  statements  made  in  many  in- 
augurals are  superfluous. 

We  all  know  that  in  certain  cases  things  are  good,  in 
others  very  good,  while  in  many  instances  they  are  not  so 
good.  We  must  take  conditions  as  they  are  and  make  the 
best  of  it,  bearing  in  mind,  however,  that  we  are  expected 
within  our  ability,  and  with  appropriate  care  to  make  im- 
provements. 

Today  we  do  not  know  what  may  come  tomorrow  and  to- 
morrow never  comes. 

Definite  statements  of  what  we  will  do  or  what  will  hap- 
pen in  the  future  are  beyond  our  knowledge. 

Would  that  we  could,  without  fear,  have  and  enjoy  every- 
thing that  the  Constitution  provides,  that  our  liberty  might 
be  in  the  superlative  degree  insofar  that  we  might  do  any- 
thing and  everything  that  we  cared  to  do  without  injury  or 
harm  to  ourselves  or  to  others,  that  there  should  be  no  unjust 
restrictions  on  prices  or  trade,  that  they  may  be  so  liquefied 
that  they  may  be  enabled  to  adapt  themselves  to  the  re- 
quirements of  and  be  governed  by  supply  and  demand;  and 
in  every  way  democracy  should  be  upheld  with  evident 
manifestations  and  true  realization. 

I  cannot  resist  the  temptation  to  use  the  word  economy, 


INAUGURAL  ADDRESS  5 

but  on  this  subject  I  shall  not  elaborate  and  will  make  but 
little  comment. 

Economy,  national,  state  and  municipal,  as  a  topic  of  dis- 
cussion, enjoys  a  high  degree  of  popularity,  but  its  applica- 
tion to  departments  of  government  finds  but  little  favor 
with  those  whose  pet  projects  are  thereby  affected. 

Our  tax  rate  for  the  coming  period,  you  may  be  assured, 
will  be  higher.  You  know  why!  The  reason  is  apparent  and 
in  evidence.  Certain  things  and  obligations  are  necessary 
and  are  impossible  of  elimination,  but  otherwise  the  lessen- 
ing or  reduction  of  taxes  is  a  simple  matter  of  cause  and 
effect.  When  our  people  are  willing  to  deny  themselves  those 
things  for  which  public  money  is  expended,  taxes  will  auto- 
matically reduce. 

In  undertakings  of  any  magnitude,  it  would  be  wise  to 
consult  an  expert.  A  plan  for  present  and  future  develop- 
ments should  be  outlined  with  a  view  to  a  comprehensive, 
final  accomplishment.  Had  advisory  planning  reached  its 
zenith  years  ago  we  would  not  now  be  confronted  with  so 
many  inconsistencies,  disagreeable  problems  and  grotesque 
situations  seeking  solution. 

You,  as  members  of  the  Board  of  Aldermen,  are  elected 
by,  and  represent,  the  people  of  our  city  and  by  your  doings 
and  actions  will  be  judged  and  held  accountable.  I,  as  your 
mayor,  will  endeavor  to  assist  and  make  smooth  your  way; 
but  let  us  with  implacable  purpose,  be  true  with  unswerving 
fidelity  to  the  trust  imposed  upon  us.

any  areas  outside  of  its  boundaries  which,  in  the  Planning  Board's  judg- 
ment, bear  relation  to  the  planning  of  the  municipality.  Such  master 
plan,  with  the  accompanying  necessary  map,  plats,  charts  and  descrip- 
tive matter,  may  be  designed  with  the  intention  of  showing  as  fully  as  is 
possible  and  practical  the  said  Planning  Board's  recommendations  for  the 
desirable  development  of  the  territory,  legally  and  logically  within  the 
scope  of  its  planning  jurisdiction,  including,  on  that  basis,  among  other

and  extent  of  public  utilities  and  terminals,  whether  publicly  or  privately 
owned  or  operated,  for  water,  light,  heat,  sanitation,  transportation,  com- 
munication, power  and  other  purposes;  also  the  acceptance,  removal, 
relocation,  widening,  narrowing,  vacating,  abandonment,  change  of  use  of 
or  extension  of  any  of  the  foregoing  ways,  grounds,  places,  open  spaces,

ning Board  may  make  careful  and  comprehensive  surveys  and  studies  of 
existing  conditions  and  of  data  and  information  relative  to  the  probable 
future  growth  of  the  municipality  and  its  environs.  The  master  plan  shall 
be  made  with  the  general  purpose  of  guiding  and  accomplishing  a  coordi- 
nated, adjusted,  and  harmonious  development  of  the  municipality  and 
its  environs  which  will,  in  accordance  with  existing  and  probably  future 
needs,  best  promote  health,  safety,  morals,  order,  convenience,  prosper- 
ity, or  the  general  welfare,  as  well  as  efficiency  and  economy  in  the  process 
of  development;  including,  among  other  things,  adequate  provision  for 
traffic,  the  promotion  of  safety  from  fire  and  other  dangers,  adequate 
provision  for  light  and  air,  the  promotion  of  good  civic  design  and  arrange- 
ment, wise  and  efficient  expenditure  of  public  funds,  and  the  adequate 
provision  of  public  utilities  and  other  public  requirements. 

Sect.  9.  The  Planning  Board  may  adopt  the  master  plan  as  a  whole  by 
a  single  resolution  or  may  by  successive  resolutions  adopt  successive 
parts  of  the  plan,  said  parts  corresponding  with  major  geographical  sec- 
tions or  divisions  of  the  municipality  or  with  functional  subdivisions  of 
the  subject  matter  of  the  plan,  and  may  adopt  any  amendment  or  ex- 
tension thereof  or  addition  thereto.  Such  master  plan  shall  be  a  public 
record,  but  its  purpose  and  effect  shall  be  solely  to  aid  the  Planning 
Board  in  the  performance  of  its  duties.  The  adoption  of  the  master  plan 
or  any  amendment  thereof  shall  be  by  resolution  carried  by  the  affirma-

Board.  The  resolution  shall  refer  expressly  to  the  maps,  descriptive  mat- 
ter, and  other  matters  intended  by  the  Planning  Board  to  form  the  whole 
or  part  of  the  plan,  and  the  action  taken  shall  be  recorded  on  the  adopted 
plan  or  part  thereof  adopted  by  the  identifying  signature  of  the  chairman 
or  secretary  of  the  Planning  Board,  and  a  copy  of  the  plan  or  part  thereof 
shall  be  certified  to  the  Board  of  Aldermen. 

Sect.  10.  The  Planning  Board  shall  have  power  to  promote  public 


10  CITY  OF  CONCORD 

interest  in  and  understanding  of  the  master  plan  and  of  the  official  map 
of  the  municipality  as  hereinafter  described  and  to  that  end  may  publish 
and  distribute  copies  of  the  master  plan,  or  of  the  aforesaid  official  map, 
or  of  any  report  and  may  employ  such  other  means  of  publicity  and 
education  as  it  may  deem  advisable.  Members  of  the  Planning  Board, 
when  duly  authorized  by  the  said  Planning  Board,  may  attend  city 
planning  conferences  or  meetings  of  city  planning  institutes  or  hearings 
upon  pending  city  planning  legislation,  and  the  Planning  Board  may,  by 
resolution  spread  upon  its  minutes,  pay  the  reasonable  traveling  expenses 
incident  to  such  attendance.  The  Planning  Board  shall  have  authority 
to  make  such  investigations,  maps  and  reports,  and  recommendations  in 
connection  therewith,  relating  to  the  planning  and  development  of  the 
municipality,  as  seem  desirable  to  it.  The  Planning  Board  may,  from 
time  to  time,  report  and  recommend  to  the  appropriate  public  officials 
and  public  agencies  programs  for  the  development  of  the  municipality, 
for  the  erection  of  public  structures  and  improvements  and  for  the  financ- 
ing thereof.  It  shall  be  part  of  the  Planning  Board's  duties  to  consult  and 
advise  with  public  officials  and  agencies,  public  utility  companies,  civic, 
educational,  professional,  research,  and  other  organizations,  and  with 
citizens  with  relation  to  the  protecting  or  carrying  out  of  the  master  plan, 
and  to  make  recommendations  relating  to  the  development  of  the  mu- 
nicipality. The  Planning  Board  shall  have  the  right  to  accept  and  use  gifts 
for  the  exercise  of  its  functions.  All  public  officials  shall,  upon  request, 
furnish  to  the  Planning  Board,  within  a  reasonable  period  of  time,  such 
available  information  as  it  may  properly  require  for  its  work.  In  general, 
the  Planning  Board  may  be  given  such  powers  as  may  be  necessary  to 
enable  it  to  fulfill  its  functions,  promote  municipal  planning,  or  carry  out

REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  WATER 
COMMISSIONERS 


To  the  Honorable  Mayor  and  Board  of  Aldermen: 

In  presenting  their  sixty-seventh  annual  report,  the  Board 
of  Water  Commissioners  are  calling  your  attention  to  the 
report  of  the  Superintendent,  Percy  R.  Sanders,  which  re- 
port fully  describes  the  work  of  the  Board  for  the  year  1938, 
covering  in  detail  the  financial  statement  of  receipts  and 
disbursements;  also  the  laying  of  new  mains  on  account  of 
additional  service  in  different  parts  of  the  city,  relaying  new 
pipe  for  old  and  a  substantial  number  of  new  service  con- 
nections. 

The  hurricane  occurring  last  September  was  a  real  dis- 
aster, as  a  large  part  of  the  standing  timber  on  the  west  and 
east  shores  of  Penacook  Lake  was  blown  down,  and  it  will  be 
many  years  before  this  growth  of  timber  will  be  replaced,  and 
doubtful  if  it  ever  will  be  to  the  extent  of  the  old  growth. 

The  Board  discussed  at  several  meetings  the  problem  of 
taking  care  of  the  blown  down  trees,  with  the  result  that  they 
decided  to  let  out  the  job  of  logging  and  sawing  into  square- 
edged  boards. 

The  cost  of  sawing  the  logs  into  lumber  is  quite  substan- 
tial and  probably  the  logs  will  produce  in  the  neighborhood 
of  800,000  feet  of  lumber  which  we  hope  to  be  able  to  market 
for  enough  money  to  pay  the  cost  of  cleaning  up  the  effects 
of  the  hurricane. 

It  is  with  a  keen  sense  of  loss  that  we  record  the  death  of 
Mr.  Burns  P.  Hodgman,  who  served  on  the  Board  of  Water 
Commissioners  and  also  served  as  Clerk  of  the  Board  from 
January  24,  1911,  to  the  date  of  his  death,  November  19, 
1938,  and  we  take  this  opportunity  of  including  in  our  report 
the  resolutions  that  were  adopted  by  the  Board  at  the  time 
of  his  death: 

Whereas,  God  in  his  infinite  wisdom  has  taken  Burns  P. 
Hodgman  from  us, 


WATER  DEPARTMENT  67 

Now,  Therefore,  Be  It  Resolved,  That  the  members  of  the 
Water  Board  of  the  City  of  Concord  do  hereby  record  their 
sense  of  loss,  both  as  officers  of  the  City  of  Concord  and  as 
individuals,  in  the  termination  of  their  association  with  Mr. 
Hodgman.  As  a  member  of  this  Board  for  many  years,  Mr. 
Hodgman  freely  and  generously  gave  his  time  and  effort  to 
the  promotion  of  this  important  community  enterprise. 
His  thorough  comprehension  of  the  broad  problems  of 
policy  and  his  diligent  attention  to  detail  were  an  invaluable 
help  in  accomplishing  the  work  of  the  Board. 

Be  It  Further  Resolved,  That  this  resolution  be  spread  upon 
the  records  of  this  Board  and  that  a  copy  thereof  be  for- 
warded to  Mr.  Hodgman's  family. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

For  the  Board  of  Water  Commissioners 
duly  authorized, 

HARRY  H.  DUDLEY, 

President.

76  CITY  OF  CONCORD 

New  construction  work  consisted  mainly  of  replacing  small 
mains  and  supply  lines  with  increased  sizes  as  shown  by  the 
schedule.  An  eight-inch  cement-lined,  cast-iron  main  was 
laid  through  North  Fruit  Street,  Centre  Street  and  Kensing- 
ton Road,  connecting  with  School  Street  at  North  Fruit 
Street  and  Kensington  Road. 

Hydrants  have  been  set  on  these  replacements  in  accord- 
ance with  the  recommendations  of  the  Hydrant  Commission. 
Services  were  relaid  wThere  necessary  or  if  not  relaid,  were 
placed  in  good  working  condition. 

A  woven-wire  fence  has  been  built  around  the  auxiliary 
pumping  station,  with  entrance  gates  that  are  locked  when 
no  one  is  in  attendance.  There  have  been  no  changes,  or  ad- 
ditions, other  than  the  fence  at  this  station.  The  plant  is  in 
excellent  working  condition  and  all  pumps  are  operated 
weekly. 

The  automatic  pumping  station  has  given  satisfactory 
service  and  has  not  failed  to  operate  when  called  upon. 

A  gasoline-driven  centrifugal  pump  for  emergency  use 
has  been  added  to  the  equipment  in  this  station.  The  unit  is 
one  manufactured  by  Fairbanks-Morse  Company  and  will 
pump  400  gallons  per  minute  against  a  head  of  100  feet. 

An  average  of  62,253  gallons  per  day  is  used  in  the  extra 
high  service  system. 

The  water  in  Penacook  Lake  has  been  sufficiently  high  this 
year  to  supply  all  needs  without  calling  upon  the  auxiliary 
plant.  The  mean  height  for  the  year  was  184.712;  .288  feet 
below  the  overflow.  All  water  used  from  the  lake  was  chlori- 
nated as  usual. 

On  the  afternoon  of  September  21,  the  hurricane  that 
caused  so  much  destruction  throughout  New  England  took 
its  toll  from  the  pine  and  hardwood  trees  on  the  watershed 
of  Penacook  Lake.  Most  of  the  damage  was  done  to  the  trees 
on  the  west  side  of  the  lake.  The  hurricane  seemed  to  be 
obstructed  by  the  hills  on  the  east  side  of  the  lake  and  went 
over  the  tops  of  most  of  the  trees  on  that  side,  then  de- 
scended, struck  on  the  lake  and  west  side  with  full  force. 
About  eight  or  nine  hundred  thousand  feet  of  pine  was  blown 


WATER  DEPARTMENT  77 

down  and  the  pine  plantations,  twenty  to  twenty-five  years 
old,  were  ruined.  A  sawmill  has  been  set  up  at  the  lake  and 
the  lumber  is  being  sawed  and  stacked. 

The  report  annexed  shows  the  financial  condition  of  the 
Water  Works.  The  total  cost  of  the  plant  to  December  31, 
1938,  is  $1,811,741.35,  the  depreciation  total  is  $586,- 
279.06  and  the  depreciated  value  is  $1,225,462.29.  $17,- 
000.00  in  bonds  has  been  retired  and  the  bonded  debt  is  now 
$193,000.00.

PERCY  R.  SANDERS,

FIRE  DEPARTMENT 


To  the  Board  of  Mayor  and  Aldermen: 

In  accordance  with  the  requirements  of  the  city  ordinance, 
I  herewith  submit  for  your  consideration  the  report  of  the 
Fire  Department  for  the  year  1938. 

The  department  responded  to  513  alarms  as  follows: 
Bells,  62;  stills,  451. 

The  number  of  alarms  were  more  than  the  previous  year 
by  six.  There  was  an  increase  in  property  loss  due  to  several 
warehouse  fires. 

All  apparatus  and  equipment  is  in  good  condition.  Neces- 
sary repairs  and  replacements  were  made,  work  being  done 
in  the  department  shop. 

The  department  is  still  in  need  of  adequate  ladder  equip- 
ment, and  I  recommend  the  purchase  of  an  aerial  ladder 
truck. 

As  a  result  of  the  September  hurricane,  the  fire  alarm  sys- 
tem was  badly  damaged,  necessitating  the  rebuilding  of  all 
outside  construction,  which  will  be  completed  in  the  near 
future. 

The  several  stations  under  the  care  of  this  department  are 
in  good  condition.  Station  3  was  rewired  and  painted,  and 
storm  damage  repairs  were  made  on  stations  5,  6,  and  8.  A 
modern  station  should  be  built  to  house  the  apparatus  of 
Engine  5,  in  the  Plains  district. 

A  yearly  hose  test  was  made,  and  some  was  rejected.  A 
thousand  feet  of  hose  should  be  purchased  for  the  coming 
year. 

Fire  prevention  work  was  carried  on  by  the  regular  force, 
and  the  results  of  this  work  have  proven  highly  satisfactory. 


FIRE  DEPARTMENT  85 

The  co-operation  of  the  citizens  with  the  inspectors  is  greatly 
appreciated. 

For  the  support  and  co-operation  of  your  Board,  and  the 
heads  of  departments,  I  wish  to  express  my  appreciation. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

W.  T.  HAPPNY, 

Chief  of  Department.

FIRST  ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  PROBATION 
OFFICER  FOR  1938 


On  June  20,  1938,  I  was  appointed  Probation  Officer  for 
the  City  of  Concord,  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  Section  5 
of  Chapter  143  of  the  Laws  of  1937,  and  herewith  submit  my 
report  for  the  period  ending  December  31,  1938. 

Since  my  appointment,  your  Court  has  referred  to  me 
thirty-three  cases.  Thirty  were  juvenile  delinquents  and 
three  concerned  the  failure  of  the  husband  or  parent  to  prop- 
erly support  his  family.  Of  the  juvenile  delinquents,  five 
were  committed  to  the  State  Industrial  School  at  Man- 
chester, N.  H.  Three  were  committed  for  violating  their 
probation  rules  and  two  were  committed  because  it  was  felt 
that  probation  would  not  help  them.  From  the  three  adults 
under  my  supervision  for  non-support,  there  has  been  col- 
lected and  turned  over  to  their  dependents  $150.60.  From 
the  juvenile  delinquents  in  my  charge  for  petty  larceny  and 
similar  offenses,  there  has  been  collected  and  paid  to  the 
complainants  in  restitution  $36.  Ten  juvenile  cases  were  in- 
vestigated, in  which  no  Court  action  was  taken,  because  the 
offenses  committed  did  not  warrant  it. 

Of  the  thirty  juvenile  delinquents,  fifteen  committed  the 
offense  of  entering  a  building  and  taking  articles  of  some 
value,  four  took  articles  from  parked  automobiles,  six  took 
articles  valued  at  $25  or  more,  three  set  fire  to  an  un- 
occupied building,  one  committed  immoral  acts  and  one 
committed  a  sex  offense.  Two  juveniles  were  twelve  years  of 
age,  nine  were  thirteen  years  of  age,  four  were  fourteen  years 
of  age,  eleven  were  fifteen  years  of  age,  two  were  sixteen 
years  of  age,  and  two  were  seventeen  years  of  age.  The  pe- 
riod of  probation  in  these  cases  varies  from  one  to  five  years, 
depending  upon  the  seriousness  of  the  offense  committed,  as 
well  as  the  need  for  supervision  of  the  particular  case. 

The  total  number  of  visits  by  probationers  to  my  office 


PROBATION  OFFICER  97 

was  approximately  three  hundred  and  the  number  of  field 
visits  to  homes  and  places  of  employment  of  probationers 
totaled  sixty-seven.  Six  positions  were  found  for  six  proba- 
tioners and  one  is  unemployed  at  the  present  time,  because 
he  is  under  sixteen  years  of  age.  A  total  of  seventy-five  con- 
tacts were  made  by  my  department  with  other  agencies  and 
community  resources,  in  behalf  of  probationers  during  this 
period. 

A  majority  of  the  juvenile  probationers  have  shown  im- 
provement scholastically  and  have  evidenced  an  improved 
moral  tone.  The  latter  may  have  contributed  to  their  im- 
provement in  scholarship. 

A  review  of  the  cases  of  juvenile  delinquency  indicates  the 
principal  cause  to  be  lack  of  parental  supervision.  Either  the 
mother  or  father  was  absent  from  the  home  because  of 
death,  divorce  or  separation,  and  the  other  parent  was  at 
work  away  from  home  in  order  to  support  the  children.  In 
other  words,  the  usual  parental  supervision  and  home  life 
were  lacking. 

It  is  generally  conceded  that  best  results  are  obtained  in 
probation  work  when  the  case  load  does  not  exceed  seventy- 
five  cases  per  Probation  Officer  engaged  in  full  time  work.  At 
present,  the  City  Probation  Officer  is  employed  on  a  part 
time  basis.  With  thirty-three  cases  referred  to  my  depart- 
ment in  six  months'  time  and  ten  cases  more  referred  for  in- 
vestigation, but  in  which  no  Court  action  was  taken,  it  is 
probable  that  before  the  end  of  another  six  months'  period, 
the  case  load  will  demand  all  of  my  time,  if  the  best  results 
are  to  be  attained. 

Co-operation  is  the  basis  of  success  in  probation  work. 
Such  success  as  has  attended  my  efforts  is  due  in  a  large  part 
to  the  whole-hearted  co-operation  of  the  State  Probation 
Department,  Police  Department,  and  the  Relief  and  Welfare 
Departments  of  the  city  and  state. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

ROBERT  L.  COLBY, 

Probation  Officer.

So  much  has  happened  to  the  library  within  the  last  year, 
that  it  is  rather  difficult  to  remember  everything  that  has 
been  done.  In  January  Dr.  Milton  J.  Ferguson,  president  of 
the  American  Library  Association,  came  to  Concord  to  make 
a  survey  of  the  library  and  to  tell  us  how  our  methods  of 
operation  could  be  made  more  modern  and  efficient.  Due  to 
his  report  and  advice,  the  library  has  a  goal  and  can  hope  to 
reach  it  in  the  years  to  come.  We  started  out  in  1938  with  an 
increased  circulation,  which  has  continued  straight  through 
the  year,  until  we  gave  out  21,509  more  books  than  we  did  in 
1937. 

Last  winter  we  began  to  look  for  a  place  for  temporary 
quarters,  in  anticipation  of  the  library  buildings  being  taken 
by  the  State  of  New  Hampshire.  Thanks  to  Monsignor 
Buckley  and  the  people  of  St.  John's  parish  we  were  able  to 
secure  the  club  house  at  42  Pleasant  Street  and  started  mov- 
ing in  April.  Needless  to  say  it  was  a  tremendous  task  and  a 
great  expense,  but  with  the  untiring  efforts  of  the  staff, 
Trustees  and  movers,  it  was  finally  accomplished  and  the 
Concord  Public  Library,  which  had  been  in  the  Fowler 
Building  fifty  years,  opened  May  2,  1938,  in  the  new  location 
after  being  closed  only  two  working  days.  The  staff  can  never 
be  thanked  enough  for  the  long  hours  and  hard  work  for 


118  CITY  OF  CONCORD 

which  they  received  no  extra  salary.  It  was  not  easy  to  move 
forty  thousand  books  in  order,  as  well  as  all  equipment,  light 
fixtures,  etc.,  and  a  countless  number  of  valuable  birds.  In 
our  present  quarters  our  books  range  from  the  attic  to  the 
cellar,  with  a  large  number  of  the  older  books  and  the  Good- 
hue Bird  Collection  stored  in  the  Walker  Street  chapel.  We 
expected  that  while  we  were  in  temporary  quarters  we  would 
have  little  business,  but  apparently  the  public  likes  the  new 
quarters  for  we  have  had  an  increase  of  two  thousand  books 
per  month.  The  staff,  which  consists  of  six  people,  is  doing 
the  work  of  at  least  ten  assistants;  all  are  greatly  overworked 
and  consequently  it  is  not  possible  to  provide  library  users 
with  as  good  service  as  could  be  wished. 

In  May  the  library  entertained  this  district  of  the  New 
Hampshire  Library  Association  and,  because  of  our  lack  of 
space,  Major  Otis  Hammond  kindly  allowed  us  to  use  the 
New  Hampshire  Historical  Building.  Two  members  of  the 
Board  took  part  in  the  all-day  session  and  four  Trustees  were 
present  at  the  meeting.  In  June  the  Librarian  and  one  staff 
member  attended  a  week's  regional  library  conference  at 
Manchester,  Vermont,  and  one  Trustee  was  at  part  of  the 
convention.  In  July  Miss  Doris  King,  of  the  staff,  left  for  six 
weeks'  study  in  library  work  at  Columbia  University. 

Last  summer  plans  for  the  new  building  were  begun  after 
the  Public  Works  Administration  had  made  a  grant  of  $111,- 
688  and  Mr.  Alfred  Morton  Githens  and  Francis  Keally  of 
New  York  were  chosen  as  architects,  with  Eugene  Magenau 
and  Stewart  Lyford  of  this  city  as  associates.  With  the  legal 
advice  of  Mr.  Dudley  Orr,  the  land  on  Green  Street,  from  the 
house  occupied  by  Bishop  Dallas  to  Prince  Street,  was  pur- 
chased for  a  new  library  site  and  in  August  Mayor  Storrs 
broke  ground  for  the  new  building,  which  is  now  in  the 
process  of  construction. 

Three  members  of  the  staff,  Miss  Mary  Dennett,  Miss 
Josephine  Brown  and  Miss  Ruth  Melvin  attended  the  an- 
nual meeting  of  the  New  Hampshire  Library  Association  at 
Durham  in  August.  All  of  the  staff  were  present  at  the  an- 
nual banquet  and  two  Trustees  also  attended  the  meeting. 


PUBLIC  LIBRARY  119 

At  the  Citizens'  Library  luncheon,  held  at  the  Rumford 
Coffee  House  in  the  fall,  two  staff  members  and  three 
Trustees  were  present. 

The  reference  room,  in  charge  of  Miss  Dennett,  has  been 
used  by  5,575  people  and  has  been  a  very  active  place  due 
partly  to  the  school  children  and  Boston  University  exten- 
sion course  taken  by  many  of  the  teachers. 

A  new  registration  was  started  in  December  in  anticipa- 
tion of  the  new  building  and  there  are  now  10,115  registered 
borrowers  of  the  main  library  and  1,342  new  borrowers  this 
last  year.  Also  in  December  an  electric  charging  machine  for 
giving  out  books  was  installed  and  this  should  save  the  staff 
a  great  deal  of  time.  This  machine  is  the  first  one  to  be  used 
in  New  Hampshire. 

We  have  purchased  2,175  books  this  year  and  125  books 
have  been  given,  making  a  total  of  2,300  books  added.  1,614 
books  have  been  discarded,  leaving  a  total  of  40,686  books  in 
the  library.  The  quality  of  the  book  stock  has  gone  down,  be- 
cause there  has  not  been  enough  money  to  replace  the  books, 
which  have  worn  out  in  this  year  of  greatly  increased  use. 

Last  summer  the  library  gratefully  received  the  following 
bequest  under  the  will  of  Andrew  Abbott: 

"I  give  and  bequeath  unto  the  Public  Library  of  the  City 
of  Concord,  New  Hampshire,  the  sum  of  one  thousand  dol- 
lars in  memory  of  my  brother  Stephen  F.  Abbott,  said  sum 
to  be  held  in  trust,  and  the  annual  income  thereof  to  be  used 
for  the  purchase  of  new  books  for  said  Library." 

Children's  Library 

The  children's  library  has  had  a  very  active  year.  In  April 
this  part  of  the  library  was  moved  to  an  upstairs  room  at  42 
Pleasant  Street  in  one  morning,  so  that  Mrs.  Fred  Clement, 
children's  librarian,  was  able  to  open  at  one  o'clock  as  usual. 
Because  of  lack  of  space  in  temporary  quarters  the  high 
school  department  is  in  the  same  room  with  the  first  six 
grades,  but  in  the  new  library  the  young  people  will  have  a 
separate  room.  During  the  spring  the  children's  librarian  had 


120  CITY  OF  CONCORD 

a  very  attractive  scene  depicting  Snow  White  and  the  Seven 
Dwarfs,  which  evoked  much  interest  from  the  children. 

In  July  Mrs.  Clement  was  granted  a  six  months'  leave  of 
absence  by  the  Trustees  and  Miss  Doris  Tappan  took  charge 
of  the  children's  work  for  the  summer.  She  had  a  very  suc- 
cessful reading  club  of  thirty-five  members.  A  ship,  the  S.S. 
Reading,  was  built  in  the  center  of  the  children's  library  and 
its  cargo  contained  the  books  to  be  read  for  the  cruise.  Each 
passenger  had  an  anchor  with  blue  stars  for  fiction  and  gold 
stars  for  non-fiction.  At  the  close  of  the  contest  a  nautical 
party  was  held  in  St.  John's  Hall,  with  book  prizes  for  the 
winners  and  three  puppet  shows  produced  under  the  super- 
vision of  the  New  Hampshire  Public  Library  Commission. 
An  account  of  the  reading  club  appeared  in  the  magazine 
Young  Wings  and  the  Junior  Literary  Guild  presented  the 
children's  library  with  a  book. 

In  September  Miss  Helen  Morey,  graduate  of  Syracuse 
Library  School,  took  charge  of  the  children's  library  and  has 
organized  groups  of  various  ages,  for  story-hours  held  every 
Saturday  morning.  Miss  Morey  tells  stories  to  the  children 
and  Miss  King  teaches  them  songs  and  plays  for  them.  Dur- 
ing Book  Week  in  November  children  from  the  different 
schools  visited  the  library,  and  a  puppet  show,  presented  by 
Katherine  Foster  and  Cynthia  Colby,  attracted  several  hun- 
dred children.  The  children's  library  was  nicely  decorated 
for  Book  Week  with  flags  and  dolls  of  all  nations,  represent- 
ing the  theme  "New  Books  —  New  Worlds"  and  many  new 
books  were  on  display.  Most  of  the  elementary  schools  in  the 
Union  School  District  borrow  books  from  the  library  for 
pleasure  reading  and  Miss  Ann  Killeen,  librarian  at  the 
senior  and  junior  high  schools,  has  borrowed  many  books  for 
the  libraries  there.  A  new  registration  has  been  started  in  the 
children's  department,  so  that  with  the  new  building  all 
children  below  seventh  grade  will  have  different  cards  and  a 
separate  file.  The  week  before  the  Christmas  holidays  Miss 
Morey  and  Miss  King  visited  all  the  suburbs,  giving  Christ- 
mas music  and  stories  for  the  children. 


public  library  121 

Branches 

The  largest  branch  is  at  Penacook  and  is  in  charge  of  Miss 
Ruth  Melvin  of  the  main  library  staff.  It  is  open  every  Tues- 
day and  Friday  afternoons  and  Miss  Melvin  has  given  out 
13,375  books  this  year,  an  increase  of  5,040  over  1937.  Dur- 
ing Book  Week  Mrs.  Edward  Towne  told  stories  to  a  group 
of  fifty-five  children  and  Miss  Doris  King  played  and  sang  to 
them.  The  Penacook  schools  made  attractive  Book  Week 
posters,  which  were  on  display  in  the  branch  room.  There  are 
now  576  registered  borrowers  at  Penacook  and  218  new  bor- 
rowers this  year.  When  the  main  library  was  moved  more 
book  cases  were  installed  and  there  are  about  2,500  books  in 
that  branch. 

In  East  Concord  a  collection  of  books  is  kept  at  the  home 
of  Mrs.  Herbert  Stuart  and  these  are  available  at  all  times 
and  are  changed  for  a  different  set  of  books  as  often  as 
possible. 

At  Concord  Heights  a  branch  in  charge  of  Miss  Rosemary 
Somes  was  opened  in  June  at  the  Grange  Hall  and  continued 
there  until  fall  when,  because  of  lack  of  money  to  pay  for 
heating  the  hall,  it  was  moved  to  the  Highland  Club  next  to 
the  Harriet  P.  Dame  School.  We  are  grateful  to  the  Highland 
Club  for  the  building,  light  and  heat,  which  they  provide 
without  charge. 

Miss  Somes  had  a  reading  club  last  summer  for  the  chil- 
dren, which  ended  with  a  party  and  prizes  for  the  children 
reporting  on  the  largest  number  of  books.  This  branch  is 
open  every  Tuesday  and  Saturday  afternoon  and  is  now  in 
charge  of  Miss  Rena  Coulombe.  In  November  a  story-hour 
was  held  with  stories  by  Miss  Morey  and  violin  music  by 
Miss  King  of  the  main  library  staff  and  sixty  children  were 
present.  2,782  books  were  given  out  from  this  branch. 

In  October  the  public  library  was  asked  to  take  over  the 
West  Concord  Library  as  a  branch.  Thanks  to  Chief  William 
T.  Happney  of  the  Concord  Fire  Department,  we  are  al- 
lowed the  use  of  the  large  room  over  the  West  Concord  Fire 
Station,  with  heat  and  light  included,  and  the  library  was 


122  CITY  OP  CONCORD 

moved  there  last  fall.  Miss  Barbara  Loiselle  is  in  charge  and 
the  library  is  open  every  Tuesday  and  Friday  afternoon  and 
Friday  evening.  About  fifty  children  were  present  for  a  story- 
hour,  put  on  last  fall  by  members  of  the  staff  of  the  main 
library.  The  people  of  West  Concord  should  feel  very  grate- 
ful to  Reverend  and  Mrs.  Franklin  Thompson  for  the  work 
they  have  done  in  starting  and  building  up  the  West  Con- 
cord Library  and  we  hope  that  the  public  library  will  have 
enough  money  to  carry  on  the  work  and  give  good  service. 

Conclusion 

Of  course  our  temporary  quarters  are  very  small  —  one 
visiting  librarian  called  it  a  "doll's  library"  — it  is  cut-up 
and  crowded,  but  we  are  fortunate  in  being  able  to  keep  the 
library  open  and  we  hope  that  our  library  users  will  continue 
their  cheerful  acceptance  of  many  minor  and  some  major 
inconveniences,  especially  with  a  new  building  in  the  near 
future  with  plenty  of  room  for  the  whole  community. 

We  are  grateful  to  the  Trustees  for  all  the  time  and  effort 
they  have  put  into  moving  the  library  and  planning  the  new 
building  —  probably  never  in  the  history  of  the  library  has 
there  been  so  much  responsibility  for  a  board. 

I  am  especially  grateful  to  the  staff  for  their  splendid  co- 
operation in  this  hard  year  —  for  it  has  been  a  difficult  one 
in  many  ways  —  to  the  interested  groups  before  whom  I 
have  spoken  this  year,  to  the  Concord  Monitor  for  the  fine 
publicity  it  has  given  the  library  and  to  all  the  people  who 
have  given  of  their  time  and  money  in  the  service  of  the 
library. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

MARION  F.  HOLT, 

Librarian.

REPORT  OF  SEALER  OF  WEIGHTS 
AND  MEASURES 


To  His  Honor  the  Mayor  and  the  Board  of  Aldermen: 

In  addition  to  the  usual  routine  work  during  the  period 
January  1,  1938  to  January  1,  1939,  your  Sealer  of  Weights 
and  Measures  has  responded  to  many  requests  of  Concord 
citizens  and  officials  of  city  departments,  some  of  which  have 
been  of  unusual  nature.  Several  freight  carloads  of  coal  were 
weighed  for  the  purpose  of  ascertaining  if  correct  weight  had 
been  delivered;  bins  of  coal  were  measured  to  estimate  the 
amount  therein;  wood  "in  the  loose"  measured;  and  25  bags 
of  coal  weighed. 

Occasionally  an  inspector,  in  the  course  of  his  duties,  will 
come  across  an  antiquated  weighing  or  measuring  device, 
which  no  longer  adequately  serves  the  purpose  for  which  it 
was  designed.  This  was  the  case  of  a  steelyard,  which  was 
found  inaccurate  and,  consequently,  confiscated.  There  are 
few  such  devices  now  in  existence,  as  more  modern  methods 
of  weighing  commodities  are  employed.  A  similar  condition 
exists  in  connection  with  dry  measures.  Seventeen  were 
tested  during  the  year,  although  most  commodities  are  sold 
by  weight  rather  than  measure. 

Your  sealer  tested  1,076  scales,  728  of  which  were  found 
correct  and  were  sealed,  312  were  adjusted  before  being 
sealed,  16  confiscated  and  20  condemned  for  repairs. 

There  were  1,074  weights  tested,  1,058  being  found  correct 
and  16  adjusted  before  being  sealed. 

Liquid  measures  to  the  number  of  5,654  were  tested,  the 
majority  of  which  were  found  correct  and  were  sealed,  4 
were  adjusted  before  being  sealed,  9  confiscated  and  2 
condemned  for  repairs. 

There  were  408  automatic  pumps  tested,  303  of  which 
were  found  correct  and  were  sealed,  97  were  adjusted  before 
being  sealed,  1  confiscated,  and  7  condemned  for  repairs.  It 


126  CITY  OF  CONCORD 

was  necessary  to  make  reinspections  in  connection  with  the 
latter  in  order  to  seal  the  pumps  after  they  had  been  put  in 
proper  condition.  There  were  tested  3,073  oil  measuring 
devices. 

The  usual,  careful  supervision  of  commodities  packaged  in 
advance  of  sale  was  made  to  ascertain  that  customers  were 
receiving  correct  weight,  and  also  that  their  net  contents 
were  expressed  in  accordance  with  the  requirements.  In  some 
instances  the  packages  were  not  marked  properly,  while 
others  did  not  contain  the  correct  weight.  The  results  were  as 
follows:  4,329  correct,  52  over  and  130  under  weight. 

Ten  (10)  loads  of  coal  in  the  process  of  delivery  were 
weighed,  2  of  which  contained  the  amount  specified  on  the 
certificates,  4  over  and  4  under  weight. 

Thirty-six  (36)  yardsticks  were  tested,  3  of  which  were 
confiscated,  while  the  others  were  found  to  be  accurate.  Two 
(2)  cloth-measuring  machines  were  tested  and  found  correct. 
There  were  measured  56  truck  bodies  used  in  the  delivery  of 
wood,  all  of  which  were  found  correct  with  the  exception  of 
five. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

GEORGE  A.  DEARBORN, 

Sealer  of  Weights  and  Measures.

HEALTH  DEPARTMENT 

To  the  Mayor,  Honorable  John  W.  Storrs,  the  Board  of  Health 
and  the  Board  of  Aldermen: 

The  following  report  is  submitted  to  you  from  the  Depart- 
ment of  Health  for  the  year  1938: 

The  general  health  of  the  city  has  been  exceptionally  good 
and  a  decrease  shown  in  certain  diseases.  There  is  evidence 
of  more  concerted  effort  in  combating  some  diseases,  such  as 
diabetes  and  nephritis.  The  department  has  given  much  at- 
tention toward  decreasing  communicable  disease  by  steriliz- 
ing of  utensils  in  eating  places,  blood  testing  of  food  handlers 
and  a  rigid  surveillance  of  all  serious  contagion. 

The  United  States  Public  Health  Service  has  supplied 
funds  for  a  Plumbing  and  Housing  Inspector  and  a  Public 
Health  Nurse.  The  work  of  inspecting  housing  and  plumbing 
conditions  has  been  carried  on  by  Mr.  Ellsworth  B.  Phil- 
brick.  He  reports  much  improvement  in  the  past  year  and 
with  the  continued  co-operation  of  the  property  owners,  it  is 
hoped  considerable  more  work  may  be  accomplished  this 
coming  year. 

The  Public  Health  Nurse,  Mrs.  Sarah  R.  Siroy,  R.N.,  has 
continued  to  give  service  to  the  Parochial  Schools  of  Concord 
and  Penacook.  She  has  assisted  at  the  venereal  disease  clinics 
and  made  many  home  visits  in  connection  with  this  work. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

DONALD  G.  BARTON,  M.D., 

Sanitary  Officer.

REPORT  OF  THE  PARK  AND  CEMETERY 
COMMISSIONERS 


To  the  Mayor  and  the  Park  and  Cemetery  Commission: 

Throughout  the  cemetery  system  of  Concord,  special 
attention  has  been  given  during  1938  to  thoroughly  fertiliz- 
ing all  grass  plots,  shrubbery,  trees  and  flowers,  as  well  as 
maintaining  the  regular  standard  of  upkeep  and  improving 
upon  it  when  possible. 

In  Blossom  Hill  Cemetery,  Block  MM  was  graded  with  a 
rough  fill;  six-tenths  of  a  mile  of  permanent  black  surface 
road  completed;  the  pond  finished  with  ashlar  sides,  dredged, 
a  spillway  built,  and  a  cement  bridge  erected;  a  five-stall 
garage  added  to  the  present  one;  surface  drainage  put  in 
from  the  South  Gate  to  the  present  Tool  House,  and  both 
the  foundation  and  roof  of  the  Chapel  repaired. 

Pine  Grove  Cemetery  is  rapidly  becoming  a  modern 
cemetery,  due  to  the  removal  of  twenty-six  curbed  lots  with 
careful  grading.  Soucook  Cemetery  had  new  trees  and 
shrubbery  set  out.  Both  Maple  Grove  and  Woodlawn 
Cemeteries  roadways  were  repaired,  shrubbery  fertilized, 
and  many  unsightly  trees  and  stubs  removed.  In  Old  North 
Cemetery,  the  Stickney  Mausoleum  was  completed  and 
landscaped  and  a  trust  fund  of  $10,000  placed. 

At  the  beginning  of  1938  there  were  approximately  1,900 
maple  trees  in  the  Nursery.  In  the  spring  an  additional  1,000 
trees  were  purchased  and  previous  to  the  hurricane  700  of 
these  nursery  stock  trees  were  set  out  along  the  city  streets 
and  in  the  parks.  This  left  a  balance  of  2,200  trees  in  the 
Nursery,  which  will  be  available  in  the  coming  spring  and 
fall  to  replace  the  many  public  trees  felled  during  the  Sep- 
tember storm  and  trees  that  will  have  to  be  removed  because 
of  injuries.  As  nursery  stock  is  much  higher  since  the  de- 
mand has  become  greater  and  promises  to  stay  so,  this  well- 
stocked  Nursery  of  Concord's  promises  to  be  the  means  of  a 


150  CITY  OF  CONCORD 

substantial  saving  in  1939.  Over  1,500  street  trees  were 
fertilized.  The  City  of  Concord  has  been  particularly  for- 
tunate in  its  insect  control.  Only  three  trees  in  the  city 
showed  any  defoliation  resulting  from  Elm  Leaf  Beetle, 
because  the  trees  instead  of  being  sprayed  once  were  sprayed 
twice.  The  Japanese  Beetle  showed  a  decided  decrease,  no 
entirely  new  infested  area  was  discovered  and  only  one 
section  on  Green  Street  showed  a  slight  increase.  Also  the 
Maple  Bark  Borer  was  controlled  by  fertilizing  and  trim- 
ming trees. 

The  usual  work  was  carried  on  throughout  the  park  sys- 
tem: mowing,  planting,  trimming,  general  upkeep  and 
spraying.  The  swimming  pools  had  a  successful  season  with 
five  pools  in  use.  These  pools  met  with  State  Board  of 
Health  requirements  in  regard  to  chlorine  content  and 
bacteria.  Only  one  accident  occurred  in  the  pools  and  that 
one  was  at  Kimball. 

At  White  Park,  a  great  deal  of  grading  was  carried  on  and 
a  retaining  wall  of  ashlar  was  erected  at  the  base  of  High 
Street  sloop.  The  ball  diamond  was  rough  graded,  but  left 
unfinished  due  to  the  hurricane.  Walk-ways  were  rip- 
rapped  and  stone  dust  spread  on  the  main  walks.  This  type 
of  walk  seems  not  only  practical  and  lasting,  but  an  attrac- 
tive asset  as  well.  A  new  dam  was  built  at  the  outlet  of  the 
pond,  which  regulates  the  height  of  the  pond  and  drains  the 
low  area  as  well. 

In  Rollins  Park,  a  lily  pond  was  built,  the  flower  bed  on 
the  Broadway  side  resoiled  and  approximately  700  new 
plants  and  shrubs  set  out.  Trees  in  the  Deer  Park  were 
trimmed  and  a  new  water  line  laid  to  the  duck  pond. 

Garrison  Park  had  a  much  needed  safety  measure  taken 
in  the  form  of  the  filling  in  of  the  old  brook  bed  which 
was  then  regraded.  A  new  bridge  was  built  across  the  brook, 
benches  set  out  and  the  general  upkeep  was  increased. 

Many  old  shrubs  and  hedges  were  removed  and  replaced 
in  West  Garden.

REPORT  OF  THE  CITY  PLANNING  BOARD 


Establishment  of  Board 

Recognizing  the  need  for  a  fact-finding  and  advisory- 
planning  agency  to  assist  in  promoting  the  best  development 
of  the  City  of  Concord  and  following  the  practice  adopted  in 
1,700  other  cities  in  the  United  States,  the  Board  of  Alder- 
men on  April  11,  1938,  passed  an  ordinance  establishing  the 
City  Planning  Board. 

Functions 

The  City  Planning  Board  has  no  powers,  but  its  duties  are 
many-fold.  Briefly,  it  is  the  function  of  the  Board  to  act  in  an 
advisory  capacity  to  the  Mayor  and  Board  of  Aldermen  in 
formulating  plans  and  policies  affecting  the  present  and 
future  physical  development  of  Concord.  The  activities  of 
the  Planning  Board  supplement,  but  in  no  way  usurp,  any  of 
the  functions  of  the  governmental  agencies  of  the  city. 

Board  Membership 

The  City  Planning  Board  is  composed  of  nine  members, 
namely,  the  Mayor,  an  administrative  official  of  the  city 
selected  by  the  Mayor,  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Aldermen 
selected  by  that  body,  and  six  citizens  appointed  by  the 
Mayor.  The  members  of  the  Planning  Board  are  James  M. 
Langley,  chairman;  Dudley  W.  Orr,  secretary;  John  B. 
Jameson,  Frederick  P.  Clark,  Austin  E.  Page,  Raymond  D. 
Edwards,  Mayor  John  W.  Storrs,  City  Engineer  Edward  E. 
Beane  and  Alderman  Harold  D.  Merrill.  The  members  of  the 
City  Planning  Board  receive  no  compensation.  The  oath  of 
office  was  administered  to  the  Board  at  the  first  meeting 
held  June  1,  1938. 

Staff 

Since  the  Board  members  serve  at  no  salary,  a  small  staff 
is  necessary  to  permit  the  conduct  of  studies  and  preparation 


156  CITY  OF  CONCORD 

of  plans.  A  program  of  activities  having  been  submitted  to 
the  Board  of  Aldermen  for  its  consideration,  the  Aldermen 
on  September  12,  1938,  made  available  to  the  Planning 
Board  an  appropriation  of  $983  to  defray  expenses  for  the 
balance  of  the  1938  budget  year.  On  October  3,  1938,  Gustaf 
H.  Lehtinen  was  appointed  by  the  Planning  Board  to  carry 
on  its  research  studies.  Shortly  afterwards  a  draftsman  was 
added  to  the  staff. 

Activities  and  Accomplishments 

Although  the  Board's  staff  has  been  working  only  since 
October,  1938,  definite  progress  has  already  been  made  in  the 
study  of  the  city's  development  and  problems  of  immediate 
concern.  Finding  in  the  Planning  Board  an  aid  in  the  con- 
sideration of  varied  problems,  the  Mayor  and  the  Board  of 
Aldermen  have  referred  to  the  Planning  Board  several  mat- 
ters for  study  and  recommendations.  While  these  have 
slowed  down  the  rate  of  progress  on  the  normal  studies  of 
Concord's  long-range  possibilities  and  requirements,  the 
Board  has  been  glad  to  assist  the  Mayor  and  the  Board  of 
Aldermen  and  in  so  doing  indicate  the  fact-finding  service 
available  in  the  Planning  Board's  staff. 

1.  September  1938  Storm 

Before  the  newly  organized  Planning  Board  and  its  staff  of 
one  had  a  chance  to  catch  its  breath,  the  severe  flood  and 
gale  visited  the  city.  Instructing  its  research  worker  to  sur- 
vey and  determine  the  extent  of  storm  damages,  the  Plan- 
ning Board  was  able  to  present  to  the  Mayor  and  the  Board 
of  Aldermen,  within  one  week  after  the  staff  had  been  em- 
ployed, a  comprehensive  report*  summarizing  the  estimated 
damage  wrought  by  the  storm  to  the  various  types  of  public 
and  private  property,  as  well  as  a  record  of  the  activities  of 
the  citizens,  organizations  and  governmental  departments 
during  and  immediately  following  the  emergency.  It  is  sig- 

*A  limited  number  of  copies  of  this  report  are  available  at  the  Plan- 
ning Board  office. 


PLANNING  BOARD  157 

nificant  that  the  Planning  Board's  estimates  approximated 
very  closely  actual  damages  as  ascertained  later. 

2.  Study  of  Land  Use  and  Development 

During  the  remaining  months  of  1938,  the  staff  undertook 
and  completed  a  survey  and  study  of  the  use  and  develop- 
ment of  land  in  the  city.  This  is  the  first  in  a  series  of  studies 
fundamental  to  the  consideration  of  plans  for  the  future  re- 
quirements and  development  of  Concord.  The  use  of  every 
piece  of  property  in  the  city  was  recorded  on  maps  which  are 
on  file  in  the  Planning  Board's  office.  The  results  of  this 
study  were  printed  and  made  available  to  the  public  in  a 
report*  entitled,  "The  Development  and  Use  of  Land  in 
Concord,  New  Hampshire." 

Although  a  knowledge  of  the  uses  of  land  is  a  fundamental 
step  in  the  process  of  laying  a  foundation  from  which  will 
evolve  the  City  Plan,  an  immediate  value  of  making  this 
study  is  to  permit  an  analysis  of  existing  trends  of  land  use  in 
relation  to  an  intelligent  amendment  of  the  present  zoning 
ordinance.  This  task  will  be  one  of  the  first  to  which  the 
Planning  Board  will  give  its  consideration  during  the  coming 
year. 

3.  "Health  Center"  Study 

At  the  request  of  the  Mayor,  the  Planning  Board  in- 
structed the  staff  to  survey  the  advisability  and  feasibility  of 
the  erection  of  a  combined  health  and  social  service  center  in 
Concord.  Upon  completion  of  this  study,  the  Planning 
Board  recommended  to  the  Mayor  that  such  action  be  de- 
ferred for  the  present,  because  the  actual  demand  on  the  part 
of  the  various  agencies  concerned  did  not  appear  to  warrant 
an  expenditure  of  city  funds  at  the  present  time. 

4.  Army  Air  Base  Study 

A  study  of  the  advantages  and  disadvantages  connected 
with  the  proposed  location  of  an  Army  Air  Base  in  Concord 

*A  limited  number  of  copies  of  this  report  are  available  at  the  Plan- 
ning Board  office. 


158  CITY  OF  CONCORD 

was  undertaken  by  the  Board's  staff  at  the  request  of  the 
Airport  Commission.  Chief  among  the  advantages  involved 
were  the  following :  the  large  amount  of  permanent  construc- 
tion and  expansion,  increased  population,  increased  purchas- 
ing power,  growth  of  small  industries  dependent  on  the  air 
base,  employment  of  local  people  in  construction,  and  estab- 
lishing Concord  as  the  focal  point  of  parallel  expansion  of 
civil  aeronautic  activity.  Outstanding  disadvantages  were 
listed  as  loss  of  present  civil  airport,  loss  of  existing  facilities 
(such  as  water  mains,  streets,  sewers,  etc.),  tax  loss,  possible 
change  in  character  of  population,  noise  nuisance,  danger  of 
accident  from  take-offs  or  loosening  of  bombs  over  city,  and 
risk,  in  time  of  war,  from  enemy  attack.  At  a  joint  meeting 
with  the  Commission,  the  results  of  this  study  were  com- 
municated to  the  Airport  Commission  and  turned  over  to 
that  body  for  further  consideration. 

5.  Base  Maps  of  City 

Two  new  base  maps  of  the  city  have  been  prepared  by  the 
Planning  Board.  One  is  a  map  of  the  entire  city  at  a  scale  of 
one  inch  equals  one  thousand  feet,  while  the  other  is  a  map  of 
the  built-up  portions  of  the  city  at  a  scale  of  one  inch  equals 
four  hundred  feet.  The  Planning  Board  recommends  copies 
of  these  base  maps  as  highly  desirable  for  use  by  the  public 
needing  large  workable  maps. 

6.  Other  Activities 

Other  activities  of  the  Planning  Board  include  considera- 
tion of  the  proposed  highway  work  program  of  the  Board  of 
Public  Works,  a  study  of  the  possibilities  of  taking  a  city 
census,  consideration  of  the  compilation  of  a  city  history, 
and  the  preparation  of  a  police  patrol  map. 

Future  Program 

Other  matters  vitally  important  to  the  future  develop- 
ment of  Concord  and  distinctly  a  part  of  the  City  Plan 
which  will  receive  the  attention  of  the  Planning  Board  as 


PLANNING  BOARD  159 

soon  as  the  staff  can  make  the  necessary  preliminary  surveys 
include  the  following: 

1.  A  plan  showing  the  best  use  of  land  in  the  city,  includ- 
ing a  recommendation  of  those  areas  which  should  be 
developed  first  in  order  to  use  to  the  fullest  advantage 
the  public  improvements  (such  as  streets,  sewers,  water 
mains,  etc.)  already  existing,  thereby  conserving  public 
funds. 

2.  Suggested  changes  in  the  zoning  ordinance. 

3.  A  comprehensive  street  plan  indicating  necessary 
changes  in  the  street  and  transportation  systems  and 
parking  opportunities  to  assist  in  the  promotion  of  bet- 
ter land  use,  and  further  indicating  what  roads  and 
streets  might  be  abandoned  or  maintained  in  less  expen- 
sive fashion  without  interfering  with  the  economic  use 
of  land,  and  thereby  reduce  costs  of  providing  public 
services. 

4.  A  plan  for  the  provision  of  recreational  facilities  and 
opportunities  necessary  to  a  healthy  population. 

5.  Recommendations  for  the  correction  of  those  causes  of 
tax  delinquency  associated  with  improper  use  of  land. 

6.  Recommendations  for  a  city  policy  with  regard  to  tax 
exempt  lands. 

7.  A  plan  for  the  acquisition  of  necessary  public  building 
sites  and  public  lands  in  proper  locations  and  in  ad- 
vance of  intensive  land  development  thereby  decreas- 
ing the  cost  to  the  city  of  such  necessary  land  ac- 
quisitions. 

8.  A  suggested  program  for  the  control  of  new  subdivision 
of  land  in  order  to  prevent  premature  and  unnecessary 
city  expenditures  for  streets  and  other  public  im- 
provements.

I  have  verified  the  trust  accounts  of  the  city  in  the  hands 
of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  Trust  Funds,  and  find  such  trust 
funds  invested,  and  the  income  for  the  year  1938  accounted 
for  as  shown  by  the  books  of  the  Trustees  kept  for  that 
purpose.
