FINANCE  DEPARTMENT 


The  year  1957  ended  with  a  budget  surplus  of  $41,673.  as  a  result  of  unspent  ap- 
propriations amounting  to  $34,999.  and  revenue  of  $6,674.  in  excess  of  estimates.  Ad- 
justment of  reserves  resulted  in  a  net  amount  of  $34,870.  available  for  reduction  of  the 
1958  Tax  Rate. 

While  the  amount  raised  by  property  taxes  in  1957,  including  school  and  county  as- 
sessments, increased  by  $212,866.  over  the  year  1956,  this  was  partially  offset  by  an 
increase  in  assessed  valuations  amounting  to  $1,650,207.,  resulting  in  a  tax  rate  in- 
crease of  only  73<:  for  municipal  purposes,  $1,48  forthe  Union  School  District,  and  49<J 
for  county  purposes.  The  Penacook  School  rate  decreased  by  $2.35  as  a  result  of  a  re- 
duction in  the  amount  raised  for  that  district. 

Long  term  debt  increased  during  the  year  by  $223,000.  New  debt  of  $507,000.  was 
incurred,  and  $284,000.  was  paid  off,  as  detailed  in  the  following  schedule:

In  keeping  with  past  experience,  Concord  enjoyed  the  benefit  of  a  triple  A  rating. 
Bonds  issued  during  the  year  were  sold  at  a  coupon  rate  of  2.9%. 

Interest  rates  on  tax  anticipation  borrowings  continued  to  rise;  reflecting  the  gen- 
eral trend.   The  following  table  is  presented  to  show  the  trend  forthe  past  several  years.

Tax  collections,  on  account  of  the  current  year  levy,  increased  by  $184,179.;  but 
in  terms  of  percentage  of  the  amount  levied  there  was  a  slight  decrease  from  90%  in 
1956  to  88.9%  in  1957. 

While  uncollected  taxes  on  account  of  prior  year  levies  have  been  reduced  to  a  neg- 
ligible amount,  the  total  amount  of  unredeemed  tax  liens  held  by  the  City  increased 
rather  sharply  in  1957.     Below  is  a  table  showing  the  trend  in  recent  years:

PLANNING 


The  year  1957  was  an  active  one  for  the  Concord  Planning  Board  and  its  staff.  Of 
all  the  planning  activities  in  which  the  board  engaged,  none  commanded  more  time  and 
effort  than  the  task  of  coordinating  ten  miles  of  superhighway  construction  with  various 
elements  of  the  city  plan.  Other  important  activities  of  the  board  include  revision  of 
the  Concord  building  code,  preparation  of  a  comprehensive  parking  lot  study,  and  in- 
vestigation of  the  future  school  building  needs  of  the  Concord  Plains  area. 
Major  Highways 

Because  of  the  city's  strategic  location  in  relation  to  the  northward  extension  of  ex- 
pressways in  New  Hampshire,  the  major  portion  of  interstate  highway  construction  pro- 
jects started  in  1957  was  located  in  the  Concord  area.  As  a  result,  the  Planning  Board 
devoted  considerable  time  and  effort  to  correlating  the  state  highway  department's  Con- 
cord area  expressway  plans  with  the  city's  long  range  plans  for  orderly  community  de- 
velopment. Numerous  conferences  were  held  with  state  officials  in  connection  with 
these  highway  location  plans. 
Future  Streets 

One  of  the  Planning  Board's  major  recommendations  of  the  year  concerned  the  map- 
pingof  the  lines  of  future  streets  in  the  vicinity  of  the  new  Rundlett  Junior  High  School . 
The  future  street  from  South  to  Clinton  Street  was  proposed  as  an  integral  part  of  an  in- 
town  circumferential  route  which  would  greatly  facilitate  travel  between  the  south  and 
the  west-end  sections  of  the  city. 
Streets  and  Rural  Roads 

Petitions  for  the  acceptance  of  approximately  one  mile  of  new  streets  were  processed 
for  City  Council  consideration  during  1957. 

Reconstruction  fo  a  6,600  foot  section  of  Shaker  Road  in  East  Concord  was  recom- 
mended to  the  City  Council  as  part  of  the  city's  continuing  program  of  rural  road  better- 
ment. 


Traffic  and  Parking 

During  1957,  the  Planning  Board  recommended  the  adoption  of  a  number  of  changes 
designed  to  facilitate  the  movement  of  vehicular  traffic  on  Concord  streets  including  al- 
terations in  the  traffic  islands  at  the  intersection  of  Bouton  and  North  State  Streets,  wid- 
ening the  traveled  way  of  North  State  Street  from  Walker  Street  to  the  Ward  9  voting 
place,  and  establishing  one-way  traffic  on  School  Street  between  North  State  and  Green 
Streets. 

On  recommendation  of  the  board,  19  new  on-street  parking  spaces  were  established 
in  the  civic  district  in  the  immediate  vicinity  of  the  abandoned  Parker  School.  The  board 
also  recommended  that  the  maximum  motor  vehicle  speed  limit  on  North  State  Street  be- 
tween the  city  proper  and  West  Concord  be  increased  from  25  to  35  miles  per  hour. 

At  the  request  of  the  City  Council,  the  Planning  Board  undertook  a  study  of  possible 
public  parking  lot  locations  in  the  central  business  district.  A  report  entitled  "Down- 
1A  town  Parking  Lot  Study"  was  transmitted  to  thecouncil  for  its  consideration.  Subsequent- 

ly, the  board  prepared  a  special  assessment  study  of  the  proposed  Durgin  Street  parking 
lot  outlining  detailed  procedures  for  financing  a  portion  of  the  cost  of  the  parking  lot  by 
assessing  the  owners  of  property  especially  benefited  by  the  facility.

Construction  of  the  Frederic  E.Everett  Highway  from  Bow  to  East  Concord  resulted  in 
substantial  disruption  of  the  established  pattern  of  land  use  and  the  zoning  plan  in  the 
general  vicinity  of  the  new  road.  Due  to  this  situation,  the  Planning  Board  recommend- 
ed changes  in  zoning  districts  affecting  most  of  the  land  abutting  the  four-mile  length 
of  the  expressway  at  this  location. 

In  cooperation  with  the  Engineering  Department,  comprehensive  regulations  govern- 
ing the  height  and  use  of  structures  in  the  vicinity  of  the  airport  were  prepared  and  sub- 
mitted to  the  City  Council  for  adoption. 

Four  new  residential  areas,  three  in  East  Concord  and  one  on  Concord  Plains,  were 
rezoned  from  agricultural  to  single  residence  districts.  In  addition,  an  80-acre  area  on 
Black  Hill  Road  in  the  Manchester  Street  section  was  rezoned  from  an  agricultural  to  a 
local  business  district. 


Recreation 

Approximately  40  acres  of  landwere  added  to  the  city's  recreational  plant  during  the 
year  on  recommendation  of  the  planning  Board.  A  19-acre  wooded  area,  acquired  by 
tax  deed,  was  added  to  Rolfe  Park  in  Penacook. 

The  area  of  the  East  Concord  playground  was  substantially  enlarged  by  the  purchase 
of  a  10-acre  parcel  of  land  on  the  north  side  of  the  existing  play  area. 

In  other  actions,  the  board  recommended  purchase  of  theDunstane  property  on  South 
Fruit   Street   as  an   addition  to  the  Memorial    Athletic   Field,  and  the  acquisition  of  the 
Kimball  School  property  for  development  as  a  play  area  for  small  children. 
Water  and  Sewer  Facilities 

Five  petitions  for  city  water  service,  involving  2,700  feet  of  water  main,  were  pro- 
cessed by  the  board  during  1957. 

Work  was  started  on  a  federally-financed  program  to  determine  the  city's  long-range 
sanitary  sewer  needs.     Preliminary  plans  will  be  developed  for  sewage  treatment  facili- 
ties,  including  treatment  plants  and  intercepting  sewers. 
Other  Activities 

Other  matters  considered  by  the  planning  agency  included  a  revision  of  the  Concord 
building  code,  the  order  of  priority  of  projects  in  the  capital  budget  program,  enactment 
of  flood   control    legislation,  and  a  survey  of  school    building   needs  on   Concord  Plains.

About  2400  dairy  and  rinse  samples  were  collected  and  analyzed,  and  written  re- 
ports sent  to  the  dairy  companies. 

1260  inspections  were  made  of  eating  establishments,  grocieries,  etc.  and  151 
written  notices  were  sent  to  improve  unsatisfactory  conditions.  50  pounds  of  meat,  70 
pounds  flour,  some  cooked  food  and  gravy  plus  450  pounds  of  foodstuff  were  condemned 
and  destroyed. 

Ten  nursery  schools  were  inspected  prior  to  issuing  license  and  2  cider  mills  were 
inspected  together  with  the  State  Board  of  Health  Inspector.  Also  regular  inspections 
were  made  of  alleys  and  comfort  station. 

Quite  a  few  complaints  were  checked,  and  where  necessary,  registered  letters 
were  sent  to  correct.  These  complaints  were  mostly  pertaining  to  plumbing.  Eight  resi- 
dences were  notified  to  abolish  privies  and  install  toilets  connected  with  thesewerdis- 
posal  system. 

During  March  169  samples  of  milk  were  collected  from  29  cows  and  milk  examined 
by  special  tests  for  mastitis.  Six  cows  were  found  to  have  mastitis  and  the  milk  from 
these  animals  was  eliminated  from  the  milk  supply  shipped  to  the  Concord  market.  In 
October  76  samples  of  milk  were  collected  from  19  cows  and  examined  for  mastitis. 
None  were  found  to  have  mastitis. 

Over  100  notices  were  sent  to  milk  producers  reminding  them  that  stables  must  be 
white-washed  at  least  once  a  year. 

The  Sanitary  Inspector  was  appointed  by  the  New  Hampshire  State  Committee  for 
Improving  Consumer  Acceptance  of  Milk  to  act  as  one  of  four  judges  to  check  all  pro- 
ducers' milk  in  Merrimack  County  for  flavor  and  odor. 


Helpful  advice  is  periodically  given 
to  local  dairy  farmers. 


CONCORD  &  PENACOOK 

Total  Relief  Costs:    $82,259.89  (Includes  administration  costs) 

The  basic  function  of  the  Welfare  Department  is  to  render  financial 
assistance  to  the  poor  and  needy  persons  of  Concord  and  Penacook  who 
have  virtually  no  resources.  A  careful  investigation  of  each  request  is 
made  before  any  assistance  is  granted. 


General  Trend 

In  1957  an  average  of  31  cases  representing  77  persons  were  aided  at 
a  total  cost  of  $21,483.90  in  comparison  to  32  cases  in  1956  with  ex- 
penditures of  $22,487.16,  which  indicates  that  General  Relief  continues 
its  downward  trend. 

The  following  chart  will  show  the  downward  trend  in  General  Relief 
(which  includes  board  &  care,  Hospital  &  Medical  and  dependent  soldiers) 
from  1950  -  1957.

In  1957  A.  P.T.D.  cases  numbered  11  with  expenditures  of  $4,060.02 
20  ar,d  in  1956  an  average  of  7  caseswere  aided  at  a  cost  of  $2,500.57.   The 

City  shares  35%  of  the  cost  of  A.  P.T.D. 


ENGINEERING   AND  PUBLIC  WORKS  DEPARTMENT 


The  year  1957  was  a  year  of  firsts  for 
the  Concord  Public  Works  Department'. 
During  the  year  we  started  our  first  sani- 
tary landfill  and  eliminated  the  old  open 
dump  in  the  center  of  the  Heights  area. 
We  built  the  first  section  of  soil  cement 
highway  in  the  state,  0.4  mile  on  Old 
Turnpike  Road  at  a  cost  of  96<£  a  square 
yard,  which  appears  very  favorable  if  the 
gravel  shortage  cannot  be  solved.  A  third 
first  was  the  planting  of  trees  on  city-owned 
land,  a  program  which  has  been  carried  on 
by  the  Water  Department  on  their  lands  for 
some  years.  This  year  we  planted  10,000 
red  pines  on  land  held  for  a  future  sewer 
disposal  site. 

Other  construction  items  completed 
during  the  year  were  6,300  feet  of  storm 
sewer  on  the  Heights,  a  large  54"  inter- 
ceptor which  will  provide  an  outlet  for  the 
area.  New  sewers  were  built  in  Wilson 
Avenue,  Springfield  Street,  Putney  Ave- 
nue,  Heights  Road  and  Overlook  Road. 

Highway  construction  under  T.  R.  A. 
saw  the  completion  of  0.4  mile  of  reloca- 
tion on  Carter  Hill  Road,  the  construction 
of  0.3  miles  of  E.  Sugar  Ball  Road  and  the 
beginning  of  construction  of  Shaker  Road. 

Serious  clay  pockets  were  removed  from 
West  Street,  Liberty  Street  and  Penacook 
Street.  These  reconstruction  projects  have 
greatly  improved  these  streets.  North  State 
Street  was  hot  topped  by  contract  from 
Dolan  Street  to  Curtis  Avenue.  This  com- 
pletes the  traveled  way  of  this  major  street 
and  gives  a  new  riding  surface  from  Con- 
cord to  Penacook . 

The  first  airport  project, providing  high 
intensity  lighting  for  the  N.  S.  runway, 
was  completed  this  year.  A  project  to  ex- 
tend this  runway  1000  feet  south  was  be- 
gun. This  project  will  give  Concord  a  5000 
foot  runway  with  high  intensity  lights  and 
will  provide  as  good  airport  facilities  as  any 
airport  in  the  State. 


Our  routine  Public  Works  functions  have 
been  carried  on  as  usual.  We  were  fortu- 
nate this  Winter  to  have  a  light  snow  fall, 
with  snow  removal  expenses  running  to  only 
$75,151. 

Our  refuse  and  garbage  collection  at 
$112,000  for  a  population  of  28,000,  giv- 
ing a  per  capita  cost  of  $4,  is  a  low  cost 
for  the  State  or  New  England.  At  the  same 
time  we  are  now  operating  a  sanitary  land- 
fill that  is  used  as  an  example  throughout 
the  State. 

Our  Cemetery  Department  operation 
has  been  improved  through  the  use  of  addi- 
tional equipment. 

The  Engineering  Department  in  addi- 
tion to  maintaining  the  routine  records  of 
the  office,  the  Assesor's  Maps,  the  Sewer 
Maps,  Street  maps,  etc.,  provided  engi- 
neering services  for  the  projects  built  by 
the  Public  Works  Department  and  for  the 
contract  construction.

CEMETERY  DIVISION 

The  regular  work  of  maintaining  the  local  cemeteries  was  carried  on  in 
the  usual  way.  The  following  are  some  of  the  items  of  service  performed, 
the  materials  and  equipment  furnished  by  the  cemetery  for  each  interment. 
Office  Labor  -  The  telephone  orders  for  interments  are  taken  in  the  office, 
checking  records,  recording  on  the  daily  cost  sheets, writing  orders  and  in- 
formation, drawing  grave  diagrams,  entering  information  from  permits,  re- 
cording on  maps  and  books,  locating  graves  for  florists,  vault  companies, 
relatives  and  friends  and  funeral  directors.  Opening  the  Interment  -  The 
work  of  laying  out  the  grave  location,  trucking  planks  and  tools  to  grave 
side,  excavating  grave,  removing  excess  earth,  setting  lowering  device 
and  grass  matting,  assistance  on  concrete  vaults, filling  in  the  grave, seed- 
ing and  fertilizing, removing  dead  flowers  and  containers  at  a  later  date  is 
all  necessary  for  an  interment.  Directing  the  Interment  -  It  is  necessary 
to  wait  for  the  funeral  and  direct  and  escort  the  funeral  cortege  to  the 
grave,  and  take  care  of  the  arrangements  so  they  will  reflect  credit  not 
only  upon  the  Director  in  charge,  but  also  upon  the  Cemetery  Personnel. 
The  more  people  that  speak  favorably  of  your  cemetery  the  greater  will  be 
its  importance,  influence,  and  success.  Then  too,  every  consideration 
should  be  shown  families  whomay  have  loved  ones  interred,  and  the  friends 
who  come  to  the  cemetery  to  pay  their  respects.  Tenderness  and  sincere 
understanding  of  these  situations  makes  our  job  a  real  service  to  the  pub- 
lic. Return  of  Equipment  -  The  driver  of  the  truck  and  the  helper  must 
pick  up  planks,  canvass,  lowering  device  and  grass,  return  compressor  if 
used  and  other  tools  to  the  garage. 


The  law  requires  permanent  interment  records  to  be  kept.  They  must  be  legible  for 
use  over  a  long  period  of  years.  These  records  are  kept  in  detail  and  are  properly  in- 
dexed for  references.  The  maps  on  file  in  the  office  have  the  complete  layout  of  the 
property  and  the  individual  place  of  interment  of  each  person  interred. 

Flower  beds  were  set  out  for  the  summer,  and  each  year  there  is  a  greater  number  be- 
ing requested.  These  are  charged  for  to  both  local  and  out  of  town  residents  on  family 
lots.     Many  are  made  available  by  trusts  which  are  established  for  that  purpose. 

Eighty  foundations  were  set  for  new  monuments  in  all  the  cemeteries,  also  one-hun- 
dred fifteen  markers  were  set  by  cemetery  employees  and  one  hundred  corner  posts. 

The  general  work  of  mowing,  trimming  shrubs  and  trees  and  cleaning  up  consumed 
a  large  part  of  the  annual  work.  Snow  removal  and  sanding  in  the  winter  was  done  to 
keep  the  road  open. 

There  were  seventy  lots  sold  in  the  different  cemeteries,  the  largest  number  in  Blos- 
som Hill.  There  are  eleven  trusts  established  on  older  family  lots  to  help  maintain  their 
care. 

In  Calvary  Cemetery  the  upkeep  which  the  department  continues  to  perform  has  re- 
ceived much  favorable  comment.  There  were  one-hundred  and  one  interments  in  Cal  - 
vary  and  twenty-two  in  Penacook  Calvary  Cemeteries  during  the  year.  All  work  is 
charged  for  on  a  monthly  basis  and  payments  are  promptly  made. 

A  total  of  three-hundred  and  sixty  interments  were  made  in  all  the  cemeteries  dur- 
ing the  year.  There  were  one-hundred  and  seventy  five  in  Blossom  Hill,  twenty-seven 
in  Wood  I  awn,  eleven  in  Maple  Grove,  nine  in  Pine  Grove,  seven  in  Millville,  two  in 
Old  North,  three  in  Soucook,  two  in  Beth  Jacob,  and  one  in  Horse  Hill.  (The  total 
figure  includes  the  interments  in  Calvary  and  Penacook  Calvary  Cemeteries.)  There 
were  four  veterans,  eleven  reliefs,  and  seven  cremations. 

Work  is  constantly  being  done  to  make  new  areas  for  future  burials,  and  also  to  re- 
pair the  older  lots.  Since  it  has  been  a  requirement  that  a  trust  be  established  for  the 
perpetual  care  of  the  lot  at  the  time  of  purchase,  the  maintenance  of  the  general  ceme- 
tery work  is  being  made  much  simpler  for  the  workmen.

PUBLIC  SERVICE  DEPARTMENTS 


CONCORD  PUBLIC  LIBRARY 


The  outstanding  event  of  1957  in  improving  and  extending  library  ser- 
vice was  the  opening  of  the  South  End  Branch  in  the  New  Rundlett  Junior 
High  School  late  in  October.  This  is  a  fine  example  of  cooperation  be- 
tween two  city  institutions  in  making  city  facilities  more  widely  available 
to  the  people  of  the  community.  The  school  maintains  its  school  library 
during  school  hours  with  one  of  the  teachers  in  charge;  Tuesday  and  Thurs- 
day afternoons  after  school  hours,  Tuesday  evening,  and  Saturday  after- 
noon the  public  library  takes  over  to  supply  books  to  children  and  adults 
of  the  South  End. 

The  Board  of  Education  has  been  most  generous  in  its  cooperation  with 
the  Board  of  Library  Trustees  in  planning  the  library  with  the  architects  in 
such  a  way  as  to  allow  the  general  public  to  use  it  outside  of  school  hours 
without  going  into  the  rest  of  the  school  building,  which  makes  the  room 
available  during  school  vacations  as  well  as  during  the  school  year.  The 
public  library  supplies  books  for  general  reading  for  people  of  all  ages,  as 
it  does  at  the  Main  Library  and  on  the  booktrailer;  the  school  supplies  its 
own  reference  and  supplementaryreading  material  for  the  use  of  the  junior 
high  students  and  teachers. 

The  opening  of  this  branch  made  possible  a  booktrailer  community  stop 
at  Rumford  School,  an  area  which  has  long  wanted  better  library  service. 
The  total  result  has  been  an  increase  last  year  of  over  3500  in  circulation 
in  the  South  End  of  the  city;  it  has  increased  about  6800  in  the  past  five 
years,  an  indication  of  the  growth  in  population  in  that  part  of  the  city, 
as  well  as  better  library  service  there. 

The  booktrailer  makes  five  other  community  stops  every  week,  at  Con- 
cord Heights,  Walker  School,  Millville  School,  East  Concord,  and  West 
Concord.  That  this  service  is  worth  while  is  shown  in  the  booktrailer  cir- 
culation which  was  65,310  in  1957,  a  gain  of  22,841  since  1953.  Con- 
cord is  a  wide-spread  city  and  these  books  reach  people  of  the  city  who 
are  entitled  to  library  service  but  who  live  too  far  from  the  Main  Library 
to  make  us  of  that  book  collection. 

The  Branch  Division  also  includes  Penacook  Branch  Library,  as  well 
as  the  South  End  Branch,  service  at  the  Concord  Hospital,  to  the  Alco- 
holics Division,  and  to  several  nursing  homes  in  the  city.  Books  are  con- 
stantly being  shifted  from  one  Branch  Divison  outlet  to  another,  making 
maximum  use  of  the  book  collection.  The  Branch  Division  accounted  for 
94,852  book  circulation  in  1957,  nearly  one-third  of  the  total  city  cir- 
culation. 

In  the  city  as  a  whole  the  circulation  of  books  was  the  largest  in  the 
history  of  the  library,  265,845.  This  was  a  gain  of  13,825  over  1956.  It 
also  means  fifteen  books  read  by  every  registered  borrower  or  nine  books 
for  every  Concord  resident,  a  high  percentage  compared  with  other  libra- 
ries of  similar  size.  Thepopulation  of  the  city  remains  fairly  stable,  there- 
fore the  increase  in  circulation  and  other  use  of  the  library  indicates  bet- 
ter book  collection. 


27 


Adult  non-fiction  increased  from  25%  to  27%  of  the  total  circula- 
tion in  the  past  five  years,  fiction  decreased  from  48%  to  41%,  and  chil- 
dren's books  increased  from  27%  to  32%. 

The  total  registrations  of  borrowers  was  17,332  at  the  end  of  1957,  or 
61%  of  the  population. 

The  addition  of  a  small  record  collection  in  1957  resulted  in  the  cir- 
culation of   1813  records  during  the  year,  another  appreciated   service. 

But  book  circulation  is  not  the  only  standard  of  library  service.  Re- 
ference service  is  also  one  of  the  important  parts  of  its  activities.  In  1957 
about  6300  questions  were  answered  in  the  Adult  Division  and  2600  in  the 
Young  People's  Division.  Actually  questions  were  also  answered  in  the 
Children's  and  Branch  Divisions,  swelling  the  total  considerably  for  the 
city  as  a  whole.  The  questions  range  from  simple  statistical  information 
to  music,  art,  and  cooking,  car  repair  and  nuclear  physics.  The  variety 
of  questions  is  almost  unlimited. 


None  of  this  would  be  possible  without  a  good  book  collection.  And 
a  good  book  collection  demands  not  only  careful  purchase  of  new  books 
but  frequent  discarding  of  out-of-date  and  worn  out  books  and  rebinding 
of  books  and  magazines  of  permanent  value.  No  collection  of  books  can 
serve  the  public  properly  unless  the  contents  are  made  available  by  effi- 
cient cataloging,  and  this  involves  listing  all  materials  received  under 
subject  as  well  as  author  and  title,  bringing  subject  headings  up-to-date 
(changing  Telegraphy,  Wireless  to  Radio  for  instance),  recataloging  old 
material  to  make  classifications  and  subject  entries  consistent,  as  well  as 
getting  new  books  on  the  shelves,  fully  cataloged,  as  quickly  as  possible. 
Our  book  collection  now  numbers  70,308  volumes. 

The  library  has  also  rendered  a  community  service  by  providing  meet- 
ing rooms  for  many  boards,  committees,  discussion  groups,  and  extension 
classes.  There  were  233  such  meetings  in  1957,  plus  weekly  story  hours, 
many  film  programs,  meetings  of  the  Junior  Reading  Club  under  library 
supervision,  and  classes  for  mothers  of  pre-school  children,  with  a  total 
attendance  in  the  last  four  library  programs  of  about  1800. 

The  library  had  many  exhibits  in  1957,  including  one  on  the  50th  an- 
niversary of  the  signing  of  the  Federal  Pure  Food  and  Drug  Act, the  100th 
anniversary  of  the  founding  of  THE  ATLANTIC  MONTHLY,  a  Polish  Post- 
age Stamp  exhibit,  the  sixth  annual  show  of  the  Concord  Artists,  Mrs. 
Rowell  Sturm's  drawings,the  work  of  the  art  classes  of  the  public  schools, 
a  display  on  the  history  of  the  Bible,  the  American  Architectural  Awards, 
both  plans  and  photographs,  old  Valentines,  photographs  of  Afrioa,  and 
ship  models,  in  addition  to  Christmas  decorations  and  posters,  and  numer- 
ous special  book  displays. 

The  Children's  Room  had  a  doll  exhibit, a  special  Book  Week  display, 
paintings  and  drawings  by  Elizabeth    Orton  Jones  of  Mason,   New  Hamp- 
shire, illustrations  from  books  by  other  popular  authors,  shells  and  appro- 
28  priate  holiday  displays. 


The  library  participated  in  the  Hobby  Show,  and  staff  members  took 
part  in  the  New  Hampshire  Folk  Festival  in  Franklin,  a  story  telling  Work- 
shop in  Pembroke,  talked  to  nine  other  groups,  and  attended  123  commun- 
ity meetings  to  represent  the  library, as  well  as  meetingsof  the  New  Hamp- 
shire and  New  England  Library  Associations. 

All  these  books  and  services  for  only  $210  per  resident  of  Concord1. 
One  good  book  costs  $3.50  to  $10.00  these  days,  except  for  mysteries, 
westerns,  and  paperbacks. 

Mrs.  Roger  Barney  and  Mr.  Willis  D.Thompson,  Jr.  resigned  from  the 
Board  of  Library  Trustees,  and  Mrs.  Harry  Spiegel  and  Mr.  Willis  Duer 
Thomson  III  were  appointed  to  replace  them.  Mrs.  Lois  Markey,  assis- 
tant librarian,  adn  Mrs.  Roberta  Young,  resigned  from  the  library  staff 
during  the  year.  Mrs.  Martha  Moses  was  appointed  assistant  librarian. 
The  Board  of  Library  Trustees,  as  well  as  the  librarian,  are  grateful  to 
these  people  for  their  valuable  contributions  to  the  advancement  of  li- 
brary service  in  Concord. 

The  librarian  is  especially  appreciative  of  the  efforts  of  the  staff  mem- 
bers who  have  made  the  year  a  successful  one.

WATER  DEPARTMENT 


WATER  DEPARTMENT 

Water  consumption  for  1957  amounted  to  1,429,285,200  gallons,  or 
an  aver  age  of  3,915,850  gallons  per  day  (about  137  gallons  per  person 
daily).     This  consumption  was  1 1,814,400  gallons  more  than  in  1956. 

Lack  of  rain  and  the  hot  dry  summer  caused  the  level  of  Penacook 
Lake  to  drop  to  a  point  nine  feet  below  the  overflow  spillway,  this  was 
the  lowest  the  Lake  had  been  since  1931.  The  well-field  was  put  into 
operation  July  1st  and  the  139,464,200  gallons  pumped  from  this  source 
saved  Concord  from  suffering  a  serious  water  shortage. 

In  accordance  with  recommendations  in  report  of  Camp,  Dresser  & 
VcKee,  consulting  engineers,  the  oddition  of  an  alkali  to  the  water  sup- 
ply was  approved  to  counteract  the  slight  acidity  of  the  water  and  to  stop 
corrosion.  A  contract  was  awarded  for  an  addition  to  the  West  Concord 
Pumping  Station  including  the  installation  of  equipment  for  said  corrosion 
control.  It  is  estimated  that  the  plant  will  be  ready  for  operation  in  June 
1958. 

A  25  percent  increase  in  water  rates  was  voted  which  went  into  effect 
on  April  1st,  1957,  the  increased  revenue  to  finance  costs  of  improving
