The  Department  recorded  800  auto  accidents  last  year,  an  all  time  high. 
There  was,  however,  no  notable  increase  in  resulting  personal  injuries

SANITARY  INSPECTION 

The  Sanitary  Inspector  is  responsible  for  safeguarding  the  health  of 
consimiers  through  strict  enforcement  of  local  and  state  health  laws 
governing  the  handling  and  storage  of  food,  and  equipment  involved  in 
its  prej:)aration  and  serving.  He  also  deals  with  problems  such  as  im- 
proper rubbish  disposal;  rodent  control;  inadequate  lighting  and  sani- 
tation  in   schools,   restaurants   and   milk  rooms. 

Many  complaints  received  dining  1966  dealt  with  suspected  cases  of  food 
]:)oisoning.  Some  20  or  30  years  ago  the  chief  source  of  contamination  of 
canned  foods  was  poor  construction  of  containers.  With  improved  con- 
tainers this  jMoblem  was  reduced,  however,  today  an  increase  in  this  type 
of  comj:)laint  is  noted  about  foods  canned,  frozen  and  otherwise  preserved, 
probably  due  to  poor  sanitation  and  carelessness  on  the  part  of  personnel.

City  had  pmchased  the  major  portion  of  the  land  needed;  however,  plans 
for  construction  of  the  new  clubhouse  were  temjjorarily  slowed  for 
modification  of  design  when  it  appeared  that  cost  of  construction  would 
drastically  exceed  the  aj:)propriated  simi. 

Estimated  4S,()00  lounds  of  golf  played  at  Beaver  Meadow  during   1966.

WELFARE  DEPARTMENT 

The  City  Weliaie  Depaiiment  is  responsible  for  providing  assistance  to 
those  persons  in  the  conimunit)  who  do  not  have  the  financial  resources 
to  meet  their  basic  needs. 

Marital  difficulties  and   insufficient   income  continued   to  be   the  major 

causes  of  relief  need   in    1966.   Reasons  for  relief  and   the  approximate 

|)er  cent  of  cases  in  each  category  dining  1966,  compared  with  1965, 
were:

The  City,  State  and  Federal  government  share  in  the  total  cost  of  welfare 
aid.  Although  there  was  a  decrease  in  Old  Age  Assistance  cases  the  ex- 
penditure increased  some  SI 0,000  over  1965  due  to  rising  cost  of  musing

CONCORD  AIRPORT 

Concord's  Municipal  Airport  conLinuecl  operation  under  super\ision 
of  the  City  Engineer,  with  physical  maintenance  by  the  Public  \Vorks 
Department. 


The  new  Doppler,  UHF-VHF,  directional  finder  atop  its  40-foot 
tower  will  aid  lost  aircraft  to  "home  in"  at  Concord  Airport. 

36 


Space  in  the  Administration  Building  is  rented  to  the  U.  S.  Weather 
Bureau,  the  U.  S.  Coast  R:  Geonetic  Survey,  N.  H.  Aeronautics  Commis- 
sion and  the  FAA  FHght  Service  Station.  The  airport's  three  hangers  are 
lented  to  a  private  flying  service. 

Ihere  were  no  regidarly  scheduled  commercial  flights  operated  in  or 
out  of  Concord  dining  1966.  Approximately  20  private  aircraft  were  based 
at  the  airport. 

Logged  257  instrument  ajjproaches. 

Recorded  24,000  aircraft  take-ofls  and  landings  —  13,000  by  itinerate 
aircraft  and  9,000  local  operations. 

The  N.  H.  Aeronautics  Commission  studied  the  activity  level  at  the  air- 
port, using  data  obtained  from  highway  traffic  counters  and  spot  surveys. 
An  increase  in  tempo  of  airport  activity  was  observed  during  the  latter 
jjart  of  the  year. 

Installation  of  a  low  frequency  radio  beacon  in  Pembroke  by  the  State 
of  New  Hampshire  j^rovided  Concord  Airport  with  a  second  instrument 
approach  facility. 

The  FAA  converted  its  facility  (VOR  to  VORTAC)  to  enable  pilots  not 
only  to  receive  azimuth  information  (bearing  to  and  from  the  station) 
but  also  to  ascertain  their  distance  from  the  station  in  nautical  miles. 
The  new  equipment  (see  ]3age  36) ,  when  used  in  conjunction  with 
similar  facilities  located  in  Montjielier,  Vermont,  and  Augusta,  Maine, 
will  aid  in  locating  lost  aircraft  within  a  three-point  "directional  finding 
net."

BUILDING  &  INSPECTION  DEPARTMENT 


This  department  mo\ed  into  its  newly  renovated  offices  on  the  second 
floor  of  City  Hall  in  June,  thus,  completing  its  physical  as  well  as  func- 
tional separation  Irom  the  Engineering  Department. 

Home  building  in  Concord,  as  in  other  parts  of  the  coimtry,  slowed  down 
from  previous  years  due  to  the  tight  mortgage  money  situation  which 
developed  during  1966.  Twelve  fewer  permits  were  issued  for  construc- 
tion of  32  fewer  housing  imits  than  in  1965,  .^12,550  short  of  the  1965 
figme. 


A  citizen  speaks  in  opposition  to  the  Concord  Heights  rezoning 
ordinance  at  a  public  hearing  at  City  Hall. 


Construction  activity  on  ci\  ic  and  commercial  structures  continued  high. 
Some  projects  completed,  continued  or  started  dtuing  1966  included  the 
new  Federal  Building,  Concord  Electric  Comjjany  service  building,  N.  H. 
State  Liquor  Commission  store  and  warehouse.  United  C^htnch  of  Christ 
retirement  commimity  on  the  Heights,  Merrimack  Valley  Regional  High 
School  in  Penacook,  arts  center  and  skating  arena  at  St.  Paid's  School;

ENGINEERING  DEPARTMENT 


Between  the  conception  of  a  public  improvement  project  and  the  com- 
mencement of  work  by  city  crews  or  private  contractors,  a  vast  amount 
of  work  must  be  done.  It  is  the  job  of  the  Engineering  Department  to 
provide  field  surveys,  designs,  jjlans,  sjjecifications  ancl  inspection  ser- 
vices for  all  city  construction  work. 

The  majority  of  engineering  projects  undertaken  are  in  connection  with 
Public  Works  Department  activities  —  Dining  1966  these  involved: 

1,850  lineal  feet  of  street  construction  —  1,600  lineal  feet  of  this  recon- 
struction between  Roy  and  Guay  Streets. 

1,022  lineal  feet  of  sanitary  sewer. 

3,  099  lineal  feet  of  storm  sewer  —  2,200  lineal  feet  of  this  in  Christian 
Avenue.

9,150  lineal  feet  of  sidewalk  —  5,300  lineal  feet  of  this  on  Pembroke  Road. 

6,733  lineal  feet  of  street  descriptions  and  returns  —  including  2,920  lineal 
feet  of  Airport  Road  (widening  at  northerly  end),  1,178  lineal  feet  of 
Christian  Avenue,  1,160  lineal  feet  of  Curtisville  Road  (southerly 
portion) . 

Layouts  for  driveway  and  proposed  one  acre  addition  at  Soucook  Ceme- 
tery. 

Engineering  services  rendered  to  other  city  departments  included: 

Main  extension  in  Curtisville  Road,  and  topography  and  detail  jilan  for 
proposed  filtration  plant  for  the  Water  Department. 

Layouts  for  McKee  Square  and  j^arking  lot  at  Memorial  Field,  and 
topography  and  detail  for  jjroposed  golf  comse  club  house  for  the 
Recreation  &  Parks  Department. 

Mapped  lines  for  future  streets  for  the  Planning  Department. 

Plotted  new  buildings  and  additions  on  the  Assessor's  majjs. 

The  Engineering  Department  is  custodian  of  a  variety  of  data  in  the 
form  of  permanent  files,  maps,  aerial  photography,  etc.,  kept  accurately 
up-dated  and  available  for  reference  by  other  departments  and  the 
general  public. 

Processed  550  deeds.

PUBLIC  WORKS  DEPARTMENT 


Special  spring  and  fall  clean-np  campaigns  are  conducted  each 

year,  picking  up  laivn,  garden  and  other  refuse  unsuitable  for 

collection  in  the  packers. 


The  Public  Works  Department  is  the  city's  largest  department  in  terms 
of  personnel  and  expenditure.  It  consists  of  six  divisions  each  performing 
a  vital  function  in  the  imjjro\ement  and  maintenance  of  the  jjhysical  city. 

41 


This  marked  the  fourth  year  in  the  HIGHWAY  DIVISION'S  program 
of  resurfacing  heavil)  travelled  streets.  Sections  of  several  streets  in  the 
city  proper  were  resurfaced  by  the  Lane  Construction  Company,  contrac- 
tors, with  an  emulsion  type  asj^halt  surface  which  "heals"  itself  and  cuts 
the  cost  of  maintenance  and  patching.  .\  mix-in-j)lace  sinface  was  apj)lied 
prior  to  sealing  on  many  streets  in  the  Penacook  area. 

Reconstruction  of  the  West  Concord  approach  to  the  Sewalls  Kails 
Bridge  was  completed  by  E.  D.  Sweat  CA:)mpany,  contractors.  The  britlge 
was  closed  to  traffic  for  three  months  while  the  western  approach  was 
shortened  by  about  80  feet  in  a  land-fill  ojjeration  and  the  old  timber  deck 
on  the  western  end  was  rej:)laced  with  a  concrete  deck. 

Continued  the  North  State  Street  widening  jMogram  toward  Pleasant 
Street  as  far  as  the  ^'MCA  building. 

Constructed  new  asjjhalt  sidewalks  and  continued  asphalt  overlays  in 
the  central  areas  of  Concord  and  Penacook  —  Continued  to  rej)lace  old 
asjjhalt  sidewalks  with  concrete  in  the  heavily  travelled  downtown  areas. 

Performed  extensi\e  reno\ation  woi  k  at  C^ity  Hall. 

Controlled  roadside  brush  with  non-toxic  spray  and  moAved  loadsides 
along  all  coimtry  roads. 

Sandblasted  and  applied  three  coats  of  ]:)aint   to  Sewells  Falls   Bridge. 

Repaired  Horse  Corner  Bridge  with  plank  ciu  by  city  forces. 

Did  plowing,  sanding  and  salting  of  highways  and  sidewalks  as  required 
—  Put  out  and  ]jicked  up  snow  fence  and  sand  boxes. 


The  SEWER  DIVISION  maintains  the  city's  vast  network  of  sanitary 
and  storm  sewer  lines.  This  may  involve  any  service  from  major  repairs 
to  a  sewer  line  to  silencing  a  noisy  manhole  cover. 

The  following  sanitary  sewer  maintenance  work  was  performed  by  Sewer 
Division  personnel: 

Cleaned  22,706  feet  of  main. 

Built  13  manholes  and  repaired  37  manholes. 

Added  39  new  house  connections  and  discontiiuied  nine. 

Set  144  lateral  plugs  and  24  main  line  JJlugs. 

Repaired  main  at  19  locations. 

Sewer  Division  crews  constructed  360  feet  of  storm  sewer  line  in  Pem- 
broke Road  and  133  feet  in  Garvins  Falls  Road  at  a  considerable  saving 
of  money  to  the  city.  Other  work  was  performed  on  storm  sewer  lines: 

42 


Built  13  catch  basins  and  reiJaiied  56  catch  basins. 
Built  two  manhc:)les  and  repaired  10  manholes. 
Laid  six  catch  basin  connections  and  icj^aired  foin-. 
Cleared  43  j^lugged  catch  basins. 
Cleaned  22,750  feet  of  main. 

The  REFUSE  DIVISION  performs  the  vital,  if  unglamorous,  task  of 
city  scavanger,  remo\ing  tons  of  unwanted  material  and  de])ositing  it  in 
the  sanitary  land  fill  area.  This  year  the  city  opened  a  new  dimij)  site  off 
Ft.  Eddy  Road,  the  third  such  area  since  the  sanitary  fill  method  of 
refuse  disjiosal  was  adoj)ted  in  1957. 

Tra\elled  43.000  miles  with  city  trucks  and  jxickers  on  collection  routes. 

Picked  up  and  disjKised  of  (i7,000  cubic  yards  of  refuse. 

Maintained  the  sanitar)  land-fill  area  o]:)en  to  the  |)ublic  every  day  of  the 
)'ear. 

The  FREE  DIVISION  carried  on  its  constant  battle  against  the  Dutch 
elm  disease.  This  year  the  city  launched  a  preventive  health  care  pro- 
gram in  an  attemjn  to  j^rotect  its  300  healthy  elm  trees.  A  recently  de- 
veloped chemical,  Bidrin  insecticide,  was  injected  into  the  sap  stream  ol 
each  tree.  About  100  dead  elms  are  removed  from  city  jjrojjerty  every  year. 

Sjjrayed  the  foliage  on  all  city  elm  trees  Avith  methoryclor  once  during 
the  summer  season. 

Continued   the  usual  remo\al,  j)runing  and  planting  program. 

The  GARAGE  &  STORAGE  DIVISION  performs  emergency  and  routine 
maintenance  on  all  city  vehicles.  A  stockroom  is  maintained  so  that 
frec]uentl)  used  items  may  be  readily  available  and  the  city  may  take  fi- 
nancial achantage  of  quantity  j^inchasing. 

Received  delivery  on  1 1  new  pieces  of  etjui]:)ment  purchased  through  the 
Ecjuij)ment  Replacement  Fund. 

The  CEMETERY  DIVISION  of  the  Public  Works  Department  main- 
tains 1 1  public  and  two  private  cemeteries.  This  includes  all  the  neces- 
sary tasks  invohed  in  keeping  our  cemeteries  clean  and  attractive,  build- 
ings and  equipment  in  good  rejDair,  construction  of  new  blocks,  preparing 
lots  for  burials  and  setting  of  memorial  stones,  and  keeping  of  accurate 
records.

WATER  DEPARTMENT 


-*" 


-        llllllllf^fflM^ 


For  the  first  time  in  four  years  our  ivater  supply  tvas  sufficient 
to  permit  flushing  of  all  hydrants  and  mains  in  the  system. 


Concord  still  faced  a  serious  water  supply  problem  at  the  beginning  of 
19()6,  with  the  elevation  of  Penacook  Lake  10'  4"  below  spillway  eleva- 
tion and  another  dry  year  predicted.  The  years  1960  through  1966  saw  a 
total  deficit  of  49.22  inches  of  precipitation.  However,  due  to  installation 
of  the  new  and  larger  piunp  at  Turkey  Pond  and  a  smaller  deficit  in 
precipitation  than  in  1965  the  elevation  of  Penacook  Lake  on  December 
31,  1966  was  less  than  fi\e  feet  below  spillway  elevation. 

Pumping  continued  on  a  24-hour  basis  from  Turkey  Pond,  January  1 
through  May  31.  Without  this  supply,  and  that  pumped  from  the 
Sanders  W^ell  Field,  the  situation  would  have  been  very  serious. 

Jn  order  to  ease  the  water  shortage,  Brezner  Tannery  in  Penacook  re- 
stored its  old  water  system,  bringing  water  from  the  Contoocook  River 
into  their  plant  for  the  initial  j)rocess  of  washing  and  cleaning  hides. 
This  made  possible  a  saving  of  more  than  500,000  gallons  of  water  per 
day.  Water  consumption  during  1966  fell  3,969,000  gallons  below  the 
1965  figure,  reflecting  conservation  measures  by  businesses  and  house- 
holds. 


45 


By  action  of  the  Board  of  Aldermen,  the  firm  of  Camp,  Dresser  &  McKee 
was  engaged  to  design  and  prepare  j^hms  for  the  proposed  filtration  plant 
and  underground  storage  tanks  to  be  located  at  Penacook  Lake. 

C^oncord's  water  lates.  last  adjusted  in  1957,  came  under  close  scrutin\ 
during  19(i6.  A  study  by  CJamjj,  Dresser  R:  McKee,  consultants,  revealed 
Concords  rates  to  be  among  the  lowest  in  the  East.  The  considtants  rec- 
ommended doubling  the  existing  rates  (84.00  minimum  quarterly  charge 
for  1,.500  cubic  feet  of  ^vater  used)  and  raising  rates  on  a  sliding  scale 
to  water  consumers  using  greater  quantities.  The  Board  of  Aldermen 
at  a  meeting  in  September,  1966,  aj3]jro\ed  a  50%  increase  in  water  rates 
(to  36.00  minimum  quarterly  charge  for  first  1,000  cubic  feet  used), 
efiective  on  October  1,  1966. 

The  major  replacement  construction  |)roject  of  the  )ear  was  carried  out 
in  connection  with  the  rebuilding  of  Interstate  93  at  the  intersection  of 
Bridge  Street  and  construction  of  the  ne^v  bridge  across  the  Merrimack 
Ri\er. 

Supplied  1,439,194,000  gallons  of  water  during  1966,  or  an  average  of 
3,942,997  gallons  j)er  da\    (about    131   gallons  per  person  a  day). 

Pumj:)ed  (S()0.7  million  gallons  of  water  from  lurke)  Pond  into  Penacook 
Lake  —  60'^' (,  of  the  total  consinujition  ioi"  the  year. 

Pumped  42()  million  gallons  from  the  Saiuulers  Well  Field  —  30%  of 
the  cit\"s  total  water  consumjJtion. 

Laid  water  main  extensions  in  Ft.  Edch  Road  and  McGuire  Street  (city 
jjropei ) ,  Bog  Road  and  Sewalls  Falls  Road  (West  Concord)  and  Cherry 
Street,  Christian  Avenue  and  Cricket  Lane  (on  the  Heights)  —  using 
5,234  feet  of  cement  lined  cast  iron  jMj)e  in  six  and  eight  inch  sizes 
- —  making  a  total  of  115.8  miles  of  main  now  in  the  system. 

Relaid  nearly  1,000  feet  of  eight,  ten,  twelve  and  fourteen  inch  cement 
lined  cast  iron  pipe  in  connection  with  the  Interstate  93  project,  replac- 
ing pipe  laid  in  1905  and  192S  —  also  replaced  two  and  set  11  new 
h\(lrants,  relaid  2(S  ser\  ices  and  replaced  (i7  meters. 

Laid  520  feet  of  11  inch  welded  steel  jmjk^  across  the  new  Merrimack 
River  Bridge. 

Installed  17  main  line  valves  and  six  valves  on  hydrant  branches  —  a 
total  of  1,798  \alves  in  the  system. 

Installed  82  new  meters  and  discontinued  15  old  meters  —  for  a  total  of 
5,937  meters  now  in  the  system.

IT'S  MODERN  FUTURE 


Probably  the  best  indication  of  a  city's  economic  progress  is  its  new 
building  construction.  Similar!),  the  manner  in  which  a  city  preserves  its 
buildings  of  historical  or  architectural  imjjortance  may  indicate  its  cul- 
tural standards.  This  year  Concord  has  made  what  may  prove  to  be 
significant  advances  in  both  directions. 

Due  principally  to  the  efforts  of  a  group  of  Concord  citizens,  known  as 
the  Pierce  Brigade,  an  effort  is  being  made  to  remove  the  family  home 
and  only  house  in  Concord  owned  by  U.  S.  President  Franklin  Pierce 
from  the  proposed  Capitol  Pla/a  North  urban  renewal  area  and  to 
restore  it  to  its  19th  Century  appearance. 

\Vork  was  started  or  completed  on  several  major  building  projects  dur- 
ing 1966.  The  largest  project,  the  .15  million  dollar  Federal  Building  at 
the  corner  of  Pleasant  and  South  Streets  (shown  under  construction 
above) ,  will  be  ready  for  occupancy  early  in  1967.

The  new  addition  to  the  YMCA  building  (above),  icith  its  gym 

and  sicimming  facilities,  contributes  substantially  to  Concord's 

recreational  opportunities.

Assessors,  two  part-time  Assessors  and  a  full-time  City  Assessor  who  super- 
\  ises  the  office. 

A  reorganization  of  personnel  in  the  Assessing  Department  was  accom- 
jjlished  dining  1966,  resulting  in  the  upgrading  of  three  positions,  changes 
in  titles  of  several  positions  and  the  reduction  of  one  staff  position. 

The  examination  of  all  assessable  property  for  revaluation  by  Associated 
Sur\e\s  was  started  in  April  and  completed  in  October.  The  firm  then

1967  tax  roll.

A  SPOT  OF  BEAUTY  AT 
A  BUSY  INTERSECTION 

In  1961  the  Board  of  Aldermen  designated  the  inter- 
section of  Broadway,  South  and  Clinton  Streets  as  McKee 
Square.  This  year  the  tip  of  the  triangle  between  Broadway 
and  South  Street,  former  site  of  Gifford's  Store,  was  land- 
scaped and  rededicated  on  October  1,  in  honor  of  the  late 
Concord  Mayor  Charles  J.  McKee.
