MAYOR'S ADDRESS
Members of the Council, Citizens and Friends:
In my brief remarks tonight, I shall endeavor to bring
to you a brief review of the activities of the administrative
office of our city for the year just closed and present to you
recommendations for your consideration for 1944.
The year 1943 has been one of activity and history making
regardless of the fact that everyone has been struggling in an
all out effort to win the war. The year 1943 was the fiftieth
birthday of the City of Laconia and the occasion was appro-
priately celebrated on the 12th day of October 1943. The day's
program started with a parade of floats depicting the progress
of our city over ten-year periods from 1893 to 1943. The birth-
day party for the wearers of buttons "We Were Here in 1893"
which numbered more than one thousand received nation— wide
publicity.
During the year our factories have been running at top
speed. Our largest — Scott & Williams, Inc. — was awarded
the Army and Navy "E" which stands for exceptional perform-
ance on the production front.
The Third and Fourth War Loan Bond Drives under the
able leadership of Chester L. Smart went over the top with
a rush. The Fourth War Loan Drive was climaxed by a dinner
given to each and every citizen buying a $1000 bond. Our
schools and local organizations, churches, etc. all participated.
More than 300 buyers of a $1000 bond sat down at the banquet
as guests of Scott & Williams, Inc. Again the City of Laconia
received nation-wide recognition for its alertness and pro-
gressiveness and tonight on behalf of the City of Laconia I
have received and accepted a certificate of recognition signed
by Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau.
New Industries
Through the cooperative effort of several of our citizens,
the Laconia Chamber of Commerce and the Laconia Indus-
tries Inc., the Gilbert Clock Company of Conn., has located
part of its business here in Laconia. The Merimack Farmers'
Exchange Inc. has purchased a building on Water Street owned
by the city to install a freezer locker food bank. As recently
as last Friday, March 24, four gentlemen representing an in-
dustry of high standing were here as guests of the City of
Laconia, looking over locations and conditions in general with
the idea of locating here.
Laconia at the present time is not hunting for new indus-
tries, but industries are hunting Laconia. A very healthy
condition !
City Planning
Early last year your Mayor was in conference with the
agent of the Lakewood Development Company with the result
that the New Hampshire Development and Planning Commis-
sion at Concord was asked by the City of Laconia to survey
and layout and make plans for the development in a way that
it can best serve its owners as well as the City of Laconia.
The work was carried on during the year in collaboration with
our city engineer with the result that the streets and sewers
when built and installed will meet the future requirements of
our city and will fit in with any long term program of planning
that the city might wish to adopt. You have seen these plans
here tonight.
Early last fall the Chamber of Commerce suggested that
your Mayor and Council arrange for a city survey to aid us in
postwar planning. Acting upon the suggestion, the Council
voted to procure the services of the State Planning and De-
velopment Commission to make the survey and I am pleased
to report that the work is now in progress. This survey will
be made with no expense to the City of Laconia.
Military Service
During the first months of 1943 a service flag was pre-
sented to the city by the Abraham Lincoln Junior Girls Club
of Lakeport. This flag was received with proper ceremony
and for a long time hung over our library lawn, and later float-
ing across our Main Street. The number on this flag repre-
senting the men and women of Laconia in the service of their
country has grown too fast, and from now on many of our
young business men will be called into the service. Many,
however, will be deferred — some for physical disability, some
because they are considered essential in the work they are
now engaged in.
We, the citizens of Laconia, must be careful and considerate
in our criticisms expressed toward those who have been de-
ferred from active duty in our military service. Let us not
forget that every man between the ages of 18 and 65 is regis-
tered in the draft. Our Selective Service board and the War
Manpower Commission will decide impartially who shall have
the privilege of actively serving in our armed forces and who
shall stay at home producing on the home front.
Our war casualty list has soared to 9. The first gold star
was for Commander James Stuart Smith who died at his post
as navigator on the world's fastest cruiser, the Atlanta; then
word was received that Pvt. Eugene Delisle, formerly of La-
conia, was killed in a plane crash. The third casualty was
Seaman Ralph Morrisette who was reported killed at Cape Bon
January 29, 1943, Another star was added for Lit. Oscar L.
Gordon, son of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Cordon of this city who
lost his life in the Sicilian Theater July 11, 1943. The fifth
star was for Corp. Adolph Papienuk — the first casualty in the
Philippines— who prior to being reported a casualty was a
prisoner of war in a Japanese concentration camp. The sixth
star was for Lt. Carl L. Simpson who after completing several
missions over enemy territory was killed in an airplane crash
on an Allied field in the North African was area. Sgt. Ken-
neth B. Carter of Lakeport was killed in a wreck of two
streamliners at Lumberton, N. C, December 16, 1943.
Delphis DesRosier also of Lakeport was killed in a plane crash
on an airfield near Merced, Califronia, January 31, 1944. Our
last casualty was S/Sgt. J. Royden Smith of the Weirs who
was killed in action over Germany January 11, 1944.
This list of casualties will grow altogether too fast in the
months to come. We must prepare ourselves for the bad news
and when it comes we must comfort as best we can the rela-
tives and friends at home.
City Employees
During the year a number of our citizens who have at
one time or another served this city in an official capacity have
answered their last call. It is fitting and proper that we should
refer to them briefly at this time.
MARK M. ROBINSON was born in Meredith, N. H.,
August 22, 1853 and passed away March 27, 1943. Mr. Robin-
son was appointed County Treasurer in 1903 and served 8
years and he also served his city as councilman in the years
1909-10-11. Mark M. Robinson lived to see Laconia grow
from a small town into a thriving city.
EUGENE S. SMITH was born in Littleton, N. H. on
November 6, 1867 and passed away January 30, 1944. Mr.
Smith lived in this community for about 25 years during which
time he was a member of the council during the years 1925 and
1926. He served as moderator in Ward Five for several
years.
WALTER SANBORN was born on December 5, 1880 and
passed away March 12, 1944. Mr. Sanborn served with tha
Laconia Fire Department as a driver for 17 years.
PETER DAGENAIS was born April 12, 1887 and passed
away July 6, 1943. Mr. Dagenais for 22 years was driver at
the Lakeport Fire station.

it very difficult to interest myself in ..any n,fw ; projects -|hat
would involve the expenditure of large sums of money- *>$?£
find conditions no different today. Yet, on the other hand, we
must not allow ourselves to stop planning for the future. This
war will be over sometime and when peace comes and our
boys are returning home we must have our house in order.
Part of our job is to fix things so that home will always be
home to him, to his mother, his sister, and to you, come what
may. A lot of this fixing can be done by careful planning for
the future. Such plans will no doubt call for the expenditure
of large sums of money for works projects programs.
Only worthwhile projects should be considered and prefer-
ably those of a permanent nature.
In reviewing past recommendations, I find that four years
ago I called your attention to the need x>f a new city hall. I
can only repeat that the heed of better housing facilities for
our several departments, including our fire department, jail,
police department, etc., as well as a city auditorium becomes
more serious each year,- and-sonie^day in the not too distant
future the question of a new city hall will necessarily be given
serious consideration^" ' W * :T - T ~ r " 9ri b " ' ' 3 ***

Sewers give careful ^consideration" to' a system Whereby the^
dbst of "building and 1 maintaining oUr sewerage system would
be self liquidating: This can "and should be done. With this!
thought in mind, your mayor in cooperation with the mayors,
df the Cities of Concord and Portsmouth sponsored ah enabling
act allowing the above' named cities to put into operation a
sewer rental system. The City of Concord has adopted such''
a~ system.
It is obvious that the first proposal— the building of a newi
city^ hall must await, further developments. The second pro-i
posal; that is, the adoption of a sewer rental system canancfe
should be put into operation at once and recommend that our
city solicitor be directed to draw up an ordinance providing
for same at once.
Victory Gardens
Last year I stated that there never was a time when a
greater need for a city to sponsor a project for growing food
for its citizens was more evident than at that time. I believe
that all of us then felt that by 1944 conditions would be great-
ly improved. The fact remains that there is a greater food
shortage today than ever before in the history of our country.
Therefore, I urge and recommend that our victory gardens
project be sponsored and planned by the city as was done in
1943.
City Departments
I shall not take time here to review the work of our several
city departments. All have lent their one hundred per cent
cooperation, have stayed well within their budgets and in many
cases returned a sizeable balance to our city treasurer as indi-
cated by the handsome unexpended balance of $20,045.24 at
the end of the fiscal year.
I extend my appreciation to all departments for their
wonderful cooperation.
From time to time especially during the winter months,
we have given much thought to the advisability of purchasing
for the street department a snow loading machine. Up to the
present time it has not seemed advisable for the city to invest
approximately $12,000 for such equipment. However, from re-
liable information I am able to gather and after a careful check
up with our local industries, I am of the opinion that for at
least four or five years after the duration the help situation in
Laconia will be what we call tight. In other words, our street
department will not be able to hire extra men to shovel snow
when needed. Then again after the duration it will be neces-
sary to kep our airport free from snow for air traffic. With
these facts before us, I recommend that the Committee on
Roads and Bridges carefully study the advisability of purchasing
snow loading and removal equipment if and when same becomes
available.
Finance Department
When our city books were closed and audited on February
15, 1944, it was found that we had a balance of $20,045.24. This
amount represents the excess of current assets over current
liabilities, and is in line with the balance shown on our books
at the end of each year since 1940. During the past year $31,750.
was paid on our serial debt, there were no bonds issued. This
reduced our net debt to $149,000, which is about 1% of the
valuation of our city, a new low for many years, A careful
analysis of the above figures would indicate that the financial
structure of our city is sound and that we are prepared for
darker days if and when they come. Just what the picture
will be for the year 1944 and 1945, T am not prepared to predict.
With the mounting cost of living ami with the construction
of new taxable buildings practically at a standstill, it would seem
that, any further reduction in the tax rate at the present time
would be doubtful All I can say is that your Committee on
Finance will endeavor to prepare a sound and balanced budget,
and will take into consideration the needs and requests of not
only the several departments of our city government, but of our
individual citizens as well; but we must not forget, as stated
earlier in this address, many of our boys have left their homes
to fight lor the very principles of self-go vernmnt that you and I
have been elected to preserve and care for, and it is our duty to
see to it that this trust is not violated.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
iiO erij y,d I>9niBD'ro Jx 93
During the past two years the Laconia Hospital has been
carrying a capacity load. We need first more beds, but of
almost equal importance is added space to provide for segre-
i oi i
gation of departments. An enlarged nurses home with class
rooms and facilities for recreation will do much to strengthen
our school. The heating plant will be enlarged to serve the
greater hospital.

We are planning a campaign in June with a minimum
objective of $275,000.00.-
S
Our hospital ranks high among the hospitals of New England
and we must keep it in that position.
We regret very much that Mr. Albert F. Dolloff is leaving
us March 1st. He is accepting a similar position in Torrington,
Conn., where he will be director of a larger hospital with
greater opportunities for service. He is leaving the Laconia
Hospital a stronger institution because of his contribution. We
appreciate his work here and wish him all success in his new
position.
We are pleased to welcome as our new superintendent Mr.
S. R. Mitchell, a man of broad business and hospital experience.
Respectfully yours,
ARTHUR D. O'SHEA,
President, Laconia Hospital Assn.

BOARD OF HEALTH
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Laconia, .New Hampshire
Gentlemen:
Herewith is submitted the report of the Board of Health:
With the exception of the outbreak of poliomyelitis last
fall, there were no serious epidemics.
The milk producers are maintaining their usual supply of
very excellent milk, and the milk inspector has continued to do
good work. Laconia is fortunate, both in having an efficient
inspector and producers who are always anxious to co-operate
with him. This is a very important department of health work
and must be continued at all costs.
Doubtless Federal funds will be available after the war
for public works of various kinds, and it is absolutely essential
that a sewage disposal plant be constructed within the next
five years. As it looks now, Federal laws will soon be passed
compelling the cleaning up of the Merrimack River, and Laconia
is one of the chief offenders. The increase in taxable property
which would be constructed around the shores of Lake Winnis-
quam following this would eventually pay for any expense
incurred by the City.
The annual complaint against the lock-up is hereby regis-
tered, and it is hoped that the construction of a new City Hall
within the next few years will take care of this.
The salary of the city nurse was raised very slightly a few
months ago, but a further raise is advised as the present
salary is not in keeping with the present cost of living.
Respectfully submitted,
J. R. PERLEY, M. D.
Secretary, Board of Health

MILK INSPECTOR
Milk inspection work was carried on as usual during 1944.
In addition to the regular milk testing, water samples
were submitted daily from Laconia and Lakeport, and tested
in the milk laboratory.
A war safety regulation required that water samples be
tested daily through part of 1944, later this was changed to
occasional samples. The extra equipment was supplied by the
water company.
Each year a larger percentage of the milk and cream con-
sumed in Laconia is pasteurized.
Stores selling milk and cream in Laconia were checked for
refrigeration and source of supply.

LIBRARY TRUSTEES
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
As authorized by the Board of Trustees, I am forwarding
the report of Mrs. Barbara Cotton who succeeded Miss Mary
Lane as librarian June 26, 1944.
The trustees express their appreciation to you and your
Council for your cooperation with us.
Respectfully submitted,
HENRY T. TURNER,
Chairman, Board of Trustees.
LIBRARIAN
To the Board of Trustees of the Laconia Public Library:
I herewith submit my report as librarian of the Laconia
Public Library for the year ending February 15, 1945.
With the exception of the librarian, the personnel at both
the main library and the Goss Reading Room at Lakeport has
remained unchanged during the year. Mrs. Goldie Bean Ross
profited by two weeks study at the summer library Institute
held in Concord. Other staff and Trustee members attended
the Boston Book Fair and both state and New England Regional
Library Association meetings. All these meetings have em-
phasized the necessity of planning for post-war adjustments.
The total circulation at both libraries has decreased during
the past year, due no doubt, to the busy unsettled times which
we are experiencing. However, it is encouraging to note that
the juvenile circulation is increasing.
Throughout the year we have had special exhibits to com-
memorate the various holidays. The children's corner of the
reference room has been made more attractive by the use of
appropriate displays. A large Christmas tree was decorated
with ornaments made by the children. Appreciative comments
from the public assure us that these improvements are well
worth the planning and extra labor.
In the spring of 1944 the Winnipesaukee Branch of the
American Association of University Women sponsored an At-
lantic Cruise Reading Contest. Students between the third and
sixth grades were encouraged to participate. The Association
awarded individual prizes of small globes to the winners of
the Contest, and to the library it presented a large revolving
globe on a floor stand. This gift has been of great benefit to
the patrons of the library, particularly the students, and the
library appreciates the generosity of the Association.
Library Memorial Hall is used regularly by several organ-
izations for their meetings. In August the Laconia Art Group
exhibited paintings by its members. The annual exhibit by this
club always attracts a large number of art lovers, and is one
of the enjoyable features of the summer season.
The Trustees cooperated with the Laconia Evening Citizen
in arranging for the second annual Authors Tea held at the
Laconia Tavern August 30. Many authors and librarians visited
the library and Memorial Hall at that time.
Book Week was observed in November. The display of
new childrens books was in keeping with Book Week slogan
"United Through Books". During Book Week we were very
fortunate to have on exhibition in Memorial Hall many original
manuscripts and books of famous authors loaned by Dr. Curtis
Hidden Page of Gilmanton. One afternoon during the week,
Dr. Page gave a scholarly and most interesting address on the
pleasure of collecting original manuscripts and first editions.
The address was thoroughly enjoyed by an appreciative audi-
ence.
Outstanding among the gifts received was a large Amer-
ican flag which had been flown over the capitol at Washington,
D. C, and a choice silver service presented by Mr. William M.
Dearborn. This service, over one hundred years old, originally
belonged to his grandparents, Alfred and Octavia (Bean)
Prescott of Gilmanton. This is a valuable addition to the
treasures rapidly being assembled in Memorial Hall.
In December the students of the fifth and sixth grades at
Gilford Avenue school gave a twenty-five dollar bond to be
held in trust by the Trustees of the library until its maturity,
45
at which time the money will be used to purchase children's
books for the library. The agreement was signed by each pupil,
and accepted and signed by the Trustees.
Generous gifts of books have been received from library
patrons during the year. Three years' copies of the 'Laconia
Evening Citizen' have been bound for the library by the Citizen
Publishing Company.
The Lakeport Library received five hundred dollars from
the estate of Miss Ella J. Morrison, in memory of her aunt
Caroline M. Hayward. It has been decided to use this money
to equip a children's room with suitable furniture and book
cases. This room has already been redecorated and when fur-
nished, will add greatly to the usefulness and service of this
attractive library.
The rental collection which was temporarily discontinued
was resumed in January. This collection makes more copies
of new and popular books available to the public earlier than
would otherwise be possible.
The severe drought of the summer made it essential that
more water than usual be used to keep the grounds verdant and
attractive. The flowers of the Victory garden were replaced
in the Fall with evergreens illuminated with red, white and blue
lights. This lighted "V" attracted many favorable comments.
Two attempts have been made to meet the critical fuel
shortage this winter. The attic of the library was insulated
and the result has been a noticeable improvement in a more
even distribution of heat throughout the library. To conserve
our limited supply of fuel, both libraries have been operating
each day on a shorter schedule of hours.
In March 1945, the S. S. LACONIA VICTORY, named in
honor of this city, will be launched at Baltimore, Md. Mrs.
Robinson W. Smith, wife of the Mayor, will act as sponsor for
the ship, and at that time will present to the boat a library
from the citizens of Laconia. The task of selecting and send-
ing the books was assigned to the Trustees and the librarian.
Approximately one hundred twenty-five books will be sent.
Two carved plaques carrying greetings to the officers and men
o." the boat will also be the gift of the city.
46
My first seven months as librarian of the Laconia Public
Library has been a very happy experience due to the whole
hearted cooperation of the members of the staff and the gen-
erous support of the Trustees.
BARBARA COTTON,
Librarian.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
Laconia, New Hampshire.
February 15, 1945.
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council:
We hereby submit the forty-fourth annual report of the
Board of Public Works, together with the detailed financial
statement covering the operations of the City Engineering,
Street and Sewer Departments during the past fiscal year.
We are transmitting herewith for your consideration, also,
a copy of the detailed report of the City Engineer, as submitted
to us, including his suggestions and recommendations for the
ensuing year.
Although the handicap of decreased manpower and reduced
facilities have been seriously felt, the maintenance work of the
Departments have been carried on, we believe, in a satisfactory
manner. The public generally, appreciating the existing con-
ditions, has been cooperative, and complaints have remained
at a minimum.
The City Engineer and his assistant, the foremen and men
are entitled to credit for intelligent planning and faithful and
untiring work in their several capacities.
Although study and consideration is being given to Post
War planning for Public Works, including projects to take up
the slack of unemployment, likely to ensue, it seems at this
time, doubtful if much construction work can be provided for
and undertaken this season, and it therefore would appear that
we should confine our immediate recommendations and plans
along the lines of maintenance, leaving to a later date, a discus-
sion of construction needs.
We wish to endorse and emphasize especially, the recom-
mendation of the City Engineer, relative to the need for three
new truck units with adequate snow plows, and we would urge
provision for the erection of a suitable work shop and garage
for the storage and repair of our equipment.
The purchase of the "SnoGo" unit, for use in connection
with snow removal on the principal streets, it would seem, was a
wise and timely investment. The results of its use during the

present severe winter, with its heavy snow fall have caused
many expressions of approval from our citizens and the excellent
condition of our main street, soon after a heavy storm, has
been widely commented upon by our business visitors from out
of town, as well.
The T. R. A., or State Aid for Class Five Roads, is expected
to be available this year and we recommend that the City
cooperate and raise its share of funds in order to continue
improvement of the so-called outlying roads within the City
limits.
We close our report with the urgent recommendation that
an adequate appropriation be made for routine maintenance,
winter expense and the customary all year services rendered
by this Department.

Bridges
Minor repairs were made to the various bridges and cul-
verts. The steel bridge on Messer Street was cleaned and
given two coats of paint, the work being done by a bridge crew
of the New Hampshire Highway Department. The steel bridge
on Messer Street should receive similar attention this year.
Temporary repairs have been made to the wooden bridge on
Mill street but the time has come when it must be rebuilt
or replaced with a more permanent structure. A number of
50
timbers in the truss frame show evidence of rot and the timber
mat under the stone pier has deteriorated causing an uneven
settlement of the pier.
Plumbing
Nine house connections were made to the sanitary sewers
and 50 permits for plumbing additions were issued and the
work inspected. Two plumbing examinations were held during
the year but no new licenses were issued.
Sanitary Sewers and Drains
Changes and repairs were made to existing sewers and
drainage system but no additions or extensions were laid. The
thirty-two miles of sanitary sewers were carefully flushed
and are in good condition. The department purchased 325 feet
of flexible sewer rods to replace the wooden rods formerly
used and they have proven to be a labor and time saver in
freeing sewer lines of obstructions.
Sidewalks
Sidewalks on the following streets were graded and
surfaced with asphalt concrete:
Fenton Avenue 333.33 sq. yds.
Bowman Street 414.60 sq. yds.
Lyman Street 142.22 sq. yds.
Shepard Street 167.22 sq. yds.
Taylor Street 230,55 sq. yds.
Dolloff Street 376.00 sq. yds.
3,060 sq. yds. of worn sidewalks were renewed with an
asphalt top and a number of dirt sidewalks were graded and
given a surface of stone dust.
Street Resurfacing
The apropriations for street tarring and maintenance of
macadam enabled us to surface treat 300,000 sq. yds. of gravel
and macadam streets. Sixty-seven thousand gallons of MC3 as-
phalt was used and applied on the gravel streets at the rate of
Ys gallon per sq. qd., which was covered with sand, honed and
rolled. The macadam pavement received two applications of %
gallon each with a pea stone and sand covering. This treatment
provides a smooth riding surface and prolongs the life of the
pavement.
General
Two hundred and seventeen feet of granite curb was laid on
Pleasant Street which completes curbing the east side of that
street as far as Folsom Street.
51
Funds were provided for the purchase of a street broom
and an order was placed early in the season for a Littleford
power sweeper which we received too late to use in 1944 but
it will be pressed into service in the spring clean-up of our
highways.
Two street extensions and one new street were laid out
by the Mayor and City Council but no appropriation was pro-
vided for building them. Funds should be allotted this year
to grade, gravel and surface these highways.
The purchase of a parcel of land from Leon Morin and
located near the Cotton Hill road has provided this department
with a gravel and sand pit which will furnish us with an
abundant supply of this material for street construction and
maintenance.
This department has long experienced the need for a work-
shop and heated garage for its trucks and other equipment
and this need has become a necessity since our shed on Water
Street was gutted by fire last summer. At present we have
no building wherein we can make even minor repairs to our
trucks and a number of them are stored in unheated sheds.
I believe that it would be in the interest of economy to erect
a suitable building of this nature at our yards on Messer
Street.
As I stated in my report of last year our l 1 /^ ton trucks
are not adequate for plowing some of the hilly sections of the
city and as prospects seem favorable that more motorized
equipment will be made available for purchase this year we
should procure three 3% tons truck units with adequate
plows.
The extreme winter conditions have made it necessary
to expend much more than the usual amount for winter ex-
pense, especially for plowing and snow removal. Our trucks
have had extremely severe usage and the cost of keeping them
in repair has been high. In the matter of snow removal the
department was fortunate in having secured a loader without
which we would have been greatly handicapped this winter,
to say the least. It has proven to have been a sound and
favorable investment.
Respecfully submitted,
ARNOLD J. O'MARA,
City Engineer,
Supt. of Streets and Sewers.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF POLICE COMMISSIONERS
To The Honorable Mayor and City Council:
We respectfully submit the report of The Laconia Police
Department for the year ending January 31, 1945. We respect-
fully urge your careful reading of the report which gives a
comprehensive report of the services rendered by the depart-
ment.
An invitation was extended by John Edgar Hoover, of The
Federal Bureau of Investigation, to designate Chief Hubbard
to attend FBI National Police Academy. The Chief is now
attending the academy in Washington. This invitation is a
great honor to The Chief and to The City of Laconia. We feel
sure that his attending this academy will be a great bene-
fit to him and to this department.
We have been greatly handicapped by a shortage of police
officers due to some men being sick and others being in the
armed service. We are able to continue to give the usual pro-
tection due to the cooperation of our police officers who are
working extra time and often work their days off.
December 16th we wrote you making the following sug-
gestions for Post War improvements.
1. That a Detention House or City Lock Up be built. It
is not necessary for us to go into details regarding the build-
ing now being used as you know of the improper condition of
this building. However, we would call your attention to the
fact that persons put in this building have not been before
the court and found guilty but are locked up because they
can not furnish bail.
If a new city hall is planned the detention house should
be in this building and the department would like to be con-
sulted regarding the lay out of the quarters- they will use.
If a city building is not constructed the department would re-
commend that a new detention house be constructed.
2. That an up to date card index of police court records
be made. The system now in use is antiquated and it is ne-
cessary for the chief to go over several kinds of records in
order to make a summary of a persons police record. This
project was to be started several years ago but was given up
on account of the war.

PARK COMMISSION
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council:
As Secretary of the Laconia Park Commission, I submit
the following brief report for the year ending December 31st,
1944.
Routine meetings were held to plan the activities of the
three parks for the year. Mr. Richard Shelley, Chairman, pre-
sided at each meeting, attended by all members of the Park
Commission, Mrs. Lawrence Holt, Mrs. Percy Philbrook, Dr.
Clarence Rowe, and Mayor Robinson W. Smith. A special
meeting was called in November to listen to an appeal from
representatives of the High School Teen Age Group. Mr.
Rhoden Eddy was present as an advisor to the group.
The schedule for Park activities for the summer season
was June 26 through August 19 — with the following personnel
— Opechee — Miss Jessie Dutrizac, Miss Margaret Goranson,
Miss Virginia Billings — Wyatt Park — Miss Esma Ford — Leavitt
Park — Mr. Charles Peterson, Miss Jean Proctor. The Red
Cross Chapter voted $150.00 towards the Life Saving Program
for water front activities. A full and complete schedule was
carried out by all parks with a very good average attendance
of younger boys and girls. Leavitt Park has two newly hard
surfaced tennis courts. Opechee Park has a new diving board.
Club houses at each of the three parks are widley used for
Community uses all the year.
The Winter skating program included eight weeks, Decem-
ber 18 to February 11, inclusive. Contracts were given to Mr.
Victor Walker for Leavitt Park, to Mr. Michael Roubo for
Opechee Park, to Mr. John O'Connor for Wyatt Park and to
Mr. Wilfred Gilbert for Casino Square.
Because of the War and travel difficulties, all parks are
in constant use by all age groups in the City, and the City of
Laconia should be justly proud of its splendid Parks and their
facilities.
MARJORIE O. PHILBROOK,
Secretary Park Commission.
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN, LACONIA SCHOOL BOARD
To the Mayor and Council of the City of Laconia:
As Chairman of the School Board of the City of Laconia
since my election on April 18, 1944, I take this opportunity to
advise the citizens of Laconia that in my opinion our schools
under the careful guidance of our Superintendent, Rhoden B.
Eddy, stand among the highest in our state. His report, which
follows, will give a more detailed description of the system
for the year and will be of interest to all taxpayers and par-
ticularly so to those having children in school. All of us desire
that all the children of Laconia shall have the best in educational
advantages and, beyond this, that our school system shall be a
credit and an asset to the city.
The expense of education in these critical times of war
is known to be great, and we are especially conscious of the
fact that we must pay higher salaries to our teachers; either
this or they will be forced to seek employment elsewhere under
more favorable standards. The School Board has tried to meet
the problem by adopting a salary schedule and giving a "cost
of living" increment beyond the schedule, and I believe the
plan is working with some success.
I think the taxpayers will be pleased to know that the
School Board accepted our superintendent's recommendation
that many new books be purchased for our elementary grades
this year, that sanitary and adequate physical education quarters
be created in the high school building to replace the present
inadequate facilities, that the ground floor of the Practical
Arts Building be floored and the space developed into a modern
cafeteria to serve the whole high school population (which I
hope will be ready at an early date), that our elementary
grades be re-organized to give the pupils greater educational
advantages. Beyond these recommendations the Board ac-
cepted other recommendations of importance, some of which
will be mentioned elsewhere.
The Laconia School Board is pleased with the interest
shown by the Laconia Chamber of Commerce in the school
system and condition of the school plant; the Board welcomes
the interest and the constructive attitude of the Chamber of
Commerce.
Again, through Mr. Eddy, the School Board has made in-
struction in the Practical Arts and Home Economics Depart-
ments of the high school available to the boys and girls of
the seventh and eighth grades of the Parochial Schools, and
recently the free use of the high school gymnasium to the St.
Joseph's School basketball teams.
During the past year the Board has had numerous and
varied matters with which to deal, including a plan for
granting high school diplomas to seniors entering the armed
forces before completing the year, a program of adult educa-
tion through evening school courses, conducting Child Care
Day Centers, fixing tuition rates for non-resident pupils at-
tending Laconia schools, and the care and maintenance of school
property. In these and all other matters it is my sincere hope
that the taxpayers will perceive the earnest desire of the
Laconia School Board to serve the citizens of Laconia by
serving the two objectives mentioned at the end of the first
paragraph of this report, which are: To bring to all the children
in Laconia the best educational advantages, and to favor poli-
cies that will make our school system a credit and an asset to
Laconia.
Respectfully submitted,
THEO S. JEWETT, Chairman.

These items were charges paid by the city, but did not
constitute a part of the cost of operating the schools for 1943-
1944.
The following summary presents a series of comprehensive
financial facts for the part year.
I. Cost of operating all types of education $187,425.29
II. Receipts by School District for Operation 192,037.77
III. Unspent — turned back to the city 4,612.48
IV. Non-operating costs, spent by city 11,305.25
V. Total costs— all purposes 198,730.54
VI. Raised by taxation 182,250.25
Received from income 16,479.29
$198,730.54
VII. Tax rate in Laconia for 1944 $31.90 per thousand dollars
of valuation.
VIII. Approximate amount of tax rate for all educational pur-
poses $11.47
IX. Approximate relationship of net educational costs to total
costs for all city government in 1944 — 36%. This relation-
ship is very fair. It means that about one-third of all the
money raised for all purposes, last year went to meet
school costs. For actual operating expenses, however, only
30% of the total was spent, or less than one-third.

f The figures in this column are those under which the schools
are operating — 1944-1945.
The total appropriation for schools for the year (July 1,
1944, through June 30, 1945,) is $180,066. Of this amount
$1,000 was alloted to EXTENSIONS (see budget arrangement.)
The School Budget as it appears here (effective) is the
actual operating budget complete in all details. The starred
items (19, 24, 25, 26) are expenditures made by the city but
are not a part of the operating expenses.
All REGULAR expenditures (Total I through VII) are
those ordinarily thought of when day school costs are considered.
EXTENSIONS (items VIII and DX) are expenditures for
types of education beyond the traditional school program. These
items are self-explanatory as to their nature. They total $1000.
Table 6. Income for Regular Expenditures
From Appropriation $179,066.00
Anticipated Income* 7,875.00
$186,941.00
*Income from tuition, dog tax, rentals, etc., estimated in advance
Reports deal ordinarily with expenditures for the school
year just closed, and it is my hope to make some such report
immediately at the close of the school year, which is also the
fiscal year, annually. It is interesting, however, to examine
69
the budget for the present year now. Assuming that the
amounts shown in the budget are all spent exactly, the follow-
ing analysis results:
ADMINISTRATION costs $7,340 or 3.9% of total budget.
INSTRUCTION costs $144,546 or 77.32% of total budget.
(a) Teachers' salaries are $132,821 or 71.05% of total
(b) Textbooks* are 4,500 or 2.41% of total
(c) Suppliesf are 6,025 or 3.22% of total
(d) All other inst. are 1,200 or .64% of total '
*the budget figure will be exceeded for reasons given farther on.
fSupplies and textbooks together make up only 5.63% of the
total budget, and together represent an expenditure of only
$6.00 per pupil, approximately.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE costs $23,730 or 12.69%
of total budget
(a) Janitors' salaries are $9,300 or 4.93% of total
(b) Fuel costs are 7,500 or 4.10% of total
(c) Water and light are 3,000 or 1.56% of total
(d) Main, and Repairs are 3,930 or 2.10% of total
AUXILIARY AND SPECIAL ACTIVITIES costs $5,925 or
3.17% of total budget.
FIXED CHARGES costs $1,700 or 1.00% of total budget.
(Made by School Department only)
OUTLAY-CONSTRUCTION AND EQUIPMENT costs $3,700 or
1.98% of total budget.
The city will spend during the present school year the
following sums for:
Item 19 — Tax for state supervision $3,724.00
Item 24— Principal of debt 5,750.00
Item 25— Interest on debt 1,651.25
Total $11,115.25
Item 19 represents a charge of $2.00 per child for every
child in Laconia between the ages of five and twenty-one and
is the procedure taken in New Hampshire to secure some of the
funds necessary for carrying on the work of the State Depart-
ment of Education. All New Hampshire towns and cities pay
this tax.
Items 24 and 25 are principal and interest payments on the
Practical Arts Building, constructed in 1936.

FOREWORD
It is the superintendent's desire to do all in his power to
give Laconia a superior, modern school system so that it may,
as Chairman Jewett has stated, "Bring to all the children of
Laconia the best educational advantages and be a credit and an
asset to Laconia."
The superintendent serves the School Board elected by all
the people. The intelligence and vision of that body, the desire
of the individual members to work harmoniously together
solely in the interests of the boys and girls of Laconia and the
prestige and well being of the city, determine the effectiveness
of the superintendent. Laconia always has had the highest repu-
tation for having an effective, non-political school administra-
tion. Basically the citizens should take credit for this for they
have selected the persons responsible for advancing education
within the city.
Again, the superintendent can be effective only to the
extent that the teaching staff is qualified for its duties. The
quality of the teacher is the largest single factor in the quality
of the school system. Laconia has recognized this fact in its
willingness to consider the importance of teachers' salaries in
securing teachers for its boys and girls. Even now, however,
salaries are below the demands that costs of living make upon
the teachers, and are not yet in keeping with the renumeration
that should be made to those persons who must play so important
a part in the lives of children and youth.
Life is becoming more and more complex, and more inter-
esting for everyone, but particularly so for the many. The
opinions and desires of the whole population will find expression
in the whole political, social and economic situation controlling
American life. Every individual person must know how to
live effectively with all other persons and he must want so to
live. The statement is easily made, but its accomplishment
demands a tremendous contribution from education. To meet
changes and assure human progress, it is the sober truth that,
"What was good enough for me is not good enough for my
children." All the children of all the people must learn how
to live effectively together in a complex society; primarily,
it is the job of education to train them for such a life in such a
society.

REVIEW OF THE SCHOOL YEAR
Elementary School Re-organization
It was the superintendent's early opinion that Laconia's
elementary school grades should be re-organized so that each
teacher would have a single grade. From the point-of-view
of teaching the fundamental school subjects alone, Standard
Test Results bore out the advisability of such a re-organization.
To bring about this re-organization, so that each teacher would
have but a single grade, required the transportation of some
children to a school building outside the area of the building
that had served all the children in that area in the past. The
explanation is complicated, but, briefly, there are too many
school buildings in Laconia for the density of population in
any prescribed area; such buildings as there are either too
large or too small to serve that area alone and provide grades
of adquate size. As a result there were mixed grades in all
but two of the elementary school buildings.
A mixed grade arrangement is forced upon those commun-
ities where the total school population is too large for the one
room rural school, but too small for the single grade organiza-
tion. In a city of fifteen thousand population one would not
expect to find a village school organization any more than he
would expect to find a rural school organization. In Laconia,
obviously, there are children enough in the elementary grades
to give them the benefits of the most effective type of organ-
ization.
It did not seem logical to permit the mere location of
school buildings, located from fifty to seventy years ago, or
more, to dictate what should be the educational advantages
of boys and girls today — more especially when simple in-city
transportation made that entirely unnecessary. Accordingly,
the elementary school grades opened in September with single
graded rooms only. The plan is working very well considering
some transportation restrictions; under normal conditions, trans-
portation and improved lunch services would make the plan
completely perfect. There is increased cost because of trans-
portation, though it is not large. Better educational services
usually do cost more.
Physical Education Facilities
At the time of its construction the high school building was
modern in its facilities and contained a gymnasium, an auditori-
72
um, shops, science laboratory, library, and so on. In 1923, how-
ever, Laconia was only a little more than half as large as it is
now, and physical education consisted of athletic teams almost
entirely. There was no physical education program and there
were no real physical educational quarters. In the same way
that mechanic arts and home economics education developed
to a point where the city found it advisable to provide com-
pletely new quarters, the physical education program has come
into prominence (and the need of such education is pointed out
time and time again in army reports on the relatively inferior
physical condition of America's young men and women.) Sud-
denly Laconia High School's physical education facilities be-
came entirely inadequate. The gymnasium is not half large
enough to make possible the most effective type of physical
education program, and the athletic field proves to have the
same inadequacies, even while its surface deteriorates from
constant usage. Equally serious is the fact that shower
and locker room facilities for both boys and girls are make-
shifts — unsightly, unsatisfactory and unsanitary.
Specific plans for improving the last named condition were
begun in March, 1944. Mr. Archer Hudson, a well known
New Hampshire school architect, was engaged to prepare
plans for modern shower and locker room facilities for the
boys — and similar plans for the girls were to be inagurated the
following year. Plans were prepared (to be paid for when and
if the work was undertaken) and costs determined. The item
($15,000) was included in the School Board's Approved Budget.
It was the judgment of the appropriating body, however, that
the expenditure could not be made this year (1944) and funds
were not allowed.
The plan is complete and would give Laconia High School,
physical education boys' quarters that the city might be proud
to have outsiders view, but more important, these quarters
would insure hygenic and sanitary conditions instead of present
conditions.
Athletic Field
The high school athletic field falls into the same category as
the gymnasium; is not large enough for the physical education
program of a school that enrolled eleven hundred pupils (before
the war), and it is not complete for track athletics. Bleacher
space is ridiculously inadequate for major contests. Beyond
73
these defects the surface of the field is a matter of concern
for it has been severely used in the past years. Every pleasant
day from early spring until late fall finds the field in use.
The entire physical education program of the high school
moves outdoors when the weather permits and the field is used
all day long on school days; on Saturdays and Sundays there
are high school games or parochial school games of baseball
and football; during the early evening hours in spring, summer
and fall local Softball and baseball teams use the field. It is
no wonder that the turf has completely disappeared in large
patches and that the surface is being worn through the thin
loam covering.
The School Board is well aware of the need of the athletic
field for expansion, lay-out and renovation. When manpower
and materials are again available the Board will submit a plan
for improvement. Meantime, the plan is to have at least half
the field loamed and seeded this spring and to attempt to secure
more bleacher space for the coming fall contests. This will
necessitate closing off the field for all outside use this spring
and summer and will restrict the school' 's program this spring;
very likely the Pearl Street grounds or Opechee Park will
have to be used for high school baseball.
Use of School Facilities by the Whole Community
The School Board has heartily approved the superintendent's
policy of making the school facilities available to Laconia
as a whole. Gymnasium, shops, auditorium, and athletic field
have been available for community and parochial activities
almost to the limit of capacity. This is as it should be. These
expensive facilities belong to all the citizens; the maximum
use of these facilities means that Laconia as a whole is receiv-
ing a large return on its original investment and the money it
pays for annual support; beyond this consideration, healthy
interests and healthful activities are being trained and en-
couraged. The administration of these facilities for community
use is as impartial as the requirements of safety, fair usage,
and the general good permit.
It is apparent that the war-time need for gymnasium, audi-
torium, shop and athletic field facilities do not compare
with the need that will exist under normal conditions when
normal recreation time is available for everybody. When that
time comes Laconia will require, undoubtedly, double the capa-
city of its present facilities.
74
Mechanic Arts and Home Economics
Among the many fine, progressive things that exist in
Laconia are the shops and home economcs laboratories in
the Mechanics Aris building. Despite the cost of supplying the
quarters for mechanic arts and home economics, the city recog-
nized the need for this type of education and made it available
to its boys and girls. The training afforded in these depart-
ments is invaluable and those pupils whose other educational
training does not embrace practical arts suffer an educational
deficiency. Girls, in particular, who become home makers re-
ceive essential training in foods, clothing, home care and man-
agement, in our home economics department. Nowadays very
few girls receive this fundamental education except through
the school; educators believe that it makes for better, happier
homes. With this single idea in mind the authorities of the
St. John's School and St. Joseph's School were invited to send
their seventh and eighth grade boys and girls to the high
school for this training. During the past year St. John's
School was able to fit this training into the program of its
seventh and eighth grades and St. Joseph School authorities
have the matter under consideration.
High School Cafeteria
A school cafeteria with capacity for the whole school pupil
body is urgently needed. Space for such a cafeteria was at
hand on the ground floor of the Mechanic Arts Building, but
the floor space was dirt and cinders. The School Board ap-
proved an expenditure of $3200 to install a concrete floor and
all required drains; the appropriating body approved the ex-
penditure. Recently the floor and drains were completed
and the room stands ready to be equipped for cafeteria purposes.
It is hoped that the equipment may be secured, and that funds
for its purchase will be available in the 1945-46 budget, so that
the cafeteria may be in use for the opening of the new school
year in September. In addition to school use, the cafeteria
will be of value to community groups which require a very
large dining space, separately, or in conjunction with other
high school facilities.
Maintenance and Repairs
Our elementary school buildings are old, yet they have
been maintained as well as their construction permitted.
75
Interior decoration has been made as attractive as possible
and outside trim has been well painted; the floors have been
oiled. The high school buildings have received the same
decorative care, and the old high school building has had ex-
pensive roof repairs and waterproofing in the past.
During the past year the usual amount of painting has
been done, except that the Mechanic Street and Washington
Street School buildings were omitted from the program. These
buildings are heated with hot air furnaces and should use hard
coal for fuel. This had been unobtainable for nearly two years
and soft coal is used. As long as this continues money spent
for interior painting will be wasted, for stoking a hot air
furnace with soft coal is very dirty.
Particular attention has been given floor maintenance. In
the elementary and high school buildings we have begun to
eliminate the use of oil. Three products have been tried and
one of these has proved very satisfactory. As quickly as
funds permit all floors will be treated with the satisfactory
product. The program will be more expensive than oil, but not
prohibitively so. No matter how pleasing the interior decora-
tion of any building may be, black dirty floors spoil the entire
effect, while bright, clean floors increase the pleasing effect of
the whole interior. Moreover, pupils' clothing that is soiled
by coming in contact with an oiled floor, and shoes that "track
up" the floors at home when the pupil returns from school will
cease to vex the parents.
The color schemes used in the school buildings have been
selected to give maximum light reflection without glare as an
aid to better vision.
The toilet facilities, for boys particularly, in our elementary
school buildings are primitive. In every one of the elementary
school buildings simple flushing devices were installed during
the summer vacation. Nothing beyond this, of a practicable
nature, can be accomplished. Our old type buildings have all
toilet facilities located in the cellars of the buildings. Automa-
tic flushing of the boys' urinals will assist the hygienic situa-
tion by eliminating some of the odor; generally speaking the
entire arrangement of the toilets is unsatisfactory, however.
In the old high school building the toilet rooms require
tile flooring, a more hygienic type of boys' urinal and better
76
ventilation. Beyond this all toilet bowls should be fitted with
flush valves that will not, under any set of circumstances,
permit siphonage from the toilet bowls back into the fresh
water supply line. While the possibility of such siphonage is
extremely remote, a vacuum-breaker type of valve is the only
safeguard. These valves are unobtainable now. The matter
has received the close scrutiny of the superintendent and an
engineer's services and advice have been enlisted. As soon as
materials and labor are available funds will be requested to
remedy the entire toilet situation in this building.
Literally hundreds of minor maintenance items have re-
ceived continual attention during the year.
A second major maintenance matter concerns waterproof-
ing certain areas of the exterior walls of the old high school
building, and repairing the roof and parapet walls. The brick,
or the construction of the walls, or both, permit water seepage
through to the interior of the building. From time to time
in the past this serious condition has been remedied by water-
proofing exterior walls. The same type of work that has been
done in the past, or a more expensive remedy, must be applied
during the approaching summer vacation.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
Every Laconia citizen should know many things about the
city's school system that do not appear to be generally known;
these items reflect credit, which is gratifying, but of more im-
portance they indicate educational achievements of a substan-
tial nature.
Dramatics: The dramatic productions at Laconia High
School are much more than "high school plays". They are
usually finished productions whose primary purpose is to give
a knowledge of, and an appreciation for, dramatic art itself.
Raising money for school affairs is of secondary importance.
Dramatics, as a subject is offered at Laconia High School. The
school has an exceptionally able teacher and coach in the
person of Miss Edna Smith.
Public Speaking and Debating: Very few schools have con-
tinued to give training in public speaking and debating, yet
these activities embrace highly important educational values.
All of the English teachers promote public speaking, but Mrs.
77
Ruth Patterson Estes heads the activity for upper classmen
and is in charge of Debating. Laconia High School has a
Debating Team which always achieves a high position, if not
the winning position, in contests with large schools which
recognize this activity.
High School Library: Laconia High School has at the heart
of its entire program the invaluable services of an excellent
high school library and full-time librarian. Miss Elizabeth
O'Shea has the specialized training necessary to make the
library an outstanding high school library, and is devoted
to furthering its services. One measure of a superior high
school is its library service. Laconia High School meets this
standard and seeks continually to go beyond it.
Journalism: The Laconia Evening Citizen carries a weekly
column of high school news that is written by high school
pupils under the direction of Miss Muriel Kendrick. The column
at first sight may appear to be ordinary news, but an exam-
ination of its contents will show that it is more than this. The
column is written in newspaper style and practices approved
journalistic principles. Journalism, as a subject, is offered at
Laconia High School under Miss Kendrick's direction. (As
mentioned previously, when arrangements can be made it is
hoped that further journalistic practice can be offered to those
pupils interested, by developing a column of school news that
covers all the schools.
Radio: Laconia is fortunate in having a radio station. The
schools are especially fortunate for a large number of pupils
have the opportunity of expressing themselves through this
medium, and a high school group may be heard weekly. The
schools and the city have Mr. Martin Avery to thank for his
unfailing co-operation and help. It should be recalled that
this modern means of communication provides a speech train-
ing, that in conjunction with the other activities mentioned,
places the Laconia pupil in an excellent position to become
proficient in the use of oral expression.
Space cannot be taken to mention more of the outstanding
facilities and activities in detail, for if such details were given
the list would embrace Home Economics, Mechanic Arts, Music,
Art, and Physical Education; it would have to describe the
use made by the community of the school plant and the
78
teachers — for example several hundred persons received training
in the defense classes that have ben conducted since America
entered the war; it would have to deal with Day Care Centers
and Evening School Education.
Laconia should be aware of its own progressiveness and
should know the manner in which the school is attempting to
make use of what the city has furnished for its use.
Laconia should ever be grateful for the vision, the under-
standing, and the sustained effort of its former superintendent,
Mr. John Gilman. His leadership is primarily responsible
for so much that is good.
TEXTBOOKS AND SUPPLEES
Special attention has been given to replacing the older
textbooks and adding new ones in the elementary and junior
high sshool grades. Within the year new texts have been
provided in arithmetic (grades 1-9) ; English (language) (grades
2-6), supplementing the same series used in grades 7 and 8;
spelling (grades 2-9); science (grades 1-9; health (grades 1-8;
history (grades 4, 5, 6). New reading texts and accompanying
materials have been added to grades 1, 2, 3, and the pupil's
introduction to reading has been changed to the new system —
this in no way impairs the value of the reading material already
in use; it is still needed.
Each pupil in grades 4 through 7 has been supplied with an
attractive dictionary, and sets of the same dictionary have
been placed in all third grade rooms.
A series of books containing graded study-type reading
exercises has been placed in grades 4 through 7, and as soon
as the general achievement in the skills necessary for study-typo
reading improves, this series will be dropped to grades 3 through
6. This should be at the end of another year.
(All reading materials have been used by the superinten-
dent before coming to Laconia. These are not "experimental"
texts; they will assist in better teaching and more effective
learning.)
In the high school such textbook material has been added
(beyond that mentioned for grades 7, 8, 9,) as needed.
79
The amount of money specified in the Budget for text-
books will be exceeded, for more textbooks have been pur-
chased than planned for originally. Paper shortage threatened
to put needed books beyond reach until after the war. I felt
the need was too acute to wait and ordered books while they
were available.
The textbook item in the budget need not be large here-
after if care is taken to keep books up-to-date and if adequate
books are purchased each year. Primary grade books become
soiled and torn in two or three years and should be replaced;
in general, however, with care a textbook is good for four or
five years in the elementary grades.
Supplies in adequate amounts are furnished the pupils,
and we are attempting to administer their distribution with
the smallest amount of time loss. Each elementary school had
an inexpensive supply room constructed during the summer
and hereceforth each building's supplies will be administered
by the principal of that building. Building inventories and
individual teacher supply sheets assure the sensible use of
supplies and furnish an accurate record of quantities, used and
on hand at all times.
ELEMENTARY GRADES AND TEACHING GENERALLY
The work of the elementary grades has not been mentioned
beyond the matter of re-organization. Special activities, sim-
ilar to those of the high school, do not stand out. I should like
to report that, in general, our elementary grade teachers have
the skill and desire to produce superior results, and a long list
of individual teacher achievements might be printed here to
prove the point.
As far as subject matter instruction is concerned every
effort is being made to bring all types of reading skills to the
highest point possible for each individual pupil; this is a special
objective. Other objectives, equally important or nearly so,
concern skills in communication (oral and written language)
and in knowing and using arithmetic processes, in knowing
certain facts about the world and what is in it (geography,
science, and history), and in knowing and using the facts of
health and hygiene.
80
Elementary school teaching must do much more than teach
facts, however. The pupil must be given the skills (at his
grade level) to use in growing mentally; he must know how to
secure information and to see relationships that exist between
isolated facts; he must be led to learn to think for himself;
he must be permitted to develop according to his own interests.
In a word he must be led toward personal growth, intellectually,
socially, and physically. This is not an easy task. It demands
capable, alert teachers, who must be in a continuous state of
growth themselves. They must be physically strong and
vigorous, and temperamentally suited to deal with scores of
individual child personalities; they must really like children;
they must spend hours of time outside of school planning the
work of the classroom; they must keep abreast of the times;
they must confer and work together continuously; they must
know the parents of the pupils. Yet they must have time for
recreation and normal, healthy interests. Children should not
be under the direction of warped personalities, nor merely
passive, languid personalities.
The school must make that contribution to American life
mentioned early in this report and the teacher is the responsible
agent.
SCHOOL NEEDS
The past has produced its contributions to Laconia's school
system. All that now stands must be maintained, developed
and added to. Some of the outstanding needs and changes
in this direction are
1. A greatly expanded health service. (A. W.)*
2. A guidance program that will assist in understanding the
individual child and his total needs throughout his entire school
life.
3. A radically changed organization for pupils in grades
7 and 8, and, to a lesser extent, 9. (A slight move in this
direction was begun this school year.)
4. A physical education program that reaches down to
grade one.
5. An integrated program of audio-visual education (A.W.)*
81
6. Vastly improved elementary school buildings and facili-
ties. (A. W.)*
7. Enlarged gymnasium facilities — and physical education
quarters for boys and girls. (A.W.)*
8. Enlarged athletic field facilities.
9. A continuing understanding of the real purpose of ade-
quate teachers' salaries.
*(A.W.) After the Conclusion of the War. When conditions
make it possible to fill these needs.
CONCLUSION
I am conscious of the fact that a very great deal awaits
my attention, but I am sure that as conditions permit me to
initiate these endeavors there will be the same assistance that
has accompanied that which has already been initiated. Be-
cause of the assistance, the understanding, the counsel and the
co-operation of School Board members, the whole school staff,
and the city officials with whom the schools have contact, and
the parents, it is my feeling that the best interests of the
children and youth, and the interests of Laconia itself, have
been advanced, somewhat, at least, during the past year. It is
my duty to see that such results are forthcoming, and I am
deeply grateful that you made this possible.
Respectfully submitted,
RHODEN B. EDDY,
Superintendent of Schools.

AUDITOR
To the Honorable Robinson W. Smith, Mayor, and the City
Council of Laconia, N. H.
Gentlemen:
Having completed the audit of the financial accounts of
the City of Laconia for the fiscal year ended February 15, 1945,
I present the following statements showing the financial con-
dition of the City as of that date.
Exhibit I Appropriations Account year ended February
15, 1945
Exhibit II Excess and Deficiency Account
Exhibit III Balance Sheet as of February 15, 1945
Exhibit IV Serial Debt as of February 15, 1945
The following items appearing in the balance sheet are
commented upon as follows:
Cash $52,509.89
This cash balance was verified by the various bank state-
ments with the records of the City Treasurer and compared
with the ledger of the City Clerk; all receipts and expenditures
of the City Treasurer were properly checked with the differ-
ent Departments of the City; an audit of each monthly draft
is made by the City Auditor as a final check upon all bills
before payment is made by the City Treasurer. All Bonds,
Notes and Coupons paid are carefully checked with the records
of the City Clerk.
Property Sold to City for Taxes $5,927.32
This amount has been reduced nearly $5,000.00 during the
year and as I have said before, every effort should be made
to reduce this amount to a minimum while present business
conditions exist.
Accounts Receivable — Taxes $34,005.78
The Collector's records of unpaid taxes were examined by
me as well as all taxes paid; all payments were checked with
the records of the City Treasurer.
Warrants from the Board of Assessors to the City Tax
Collector covering the commitment of all taxes were examined
and all abatements were compared to see that they were ap-
proved by the Board of Assessors.
The collection of current taxes by the Tax Collector has
been extremely good this year as there remains only $26,420.48
uncollected as of February 15. 1945; very little however has
been done during the past year to reduce the amount of unpaid
taxes of the previous 6 years and it is my firm belief that
some action should be taken at once to collect them or see
that they are abated if they are worthless and not allowed to
remain on the books as they are at the present time; while
going through the records I have noticed that many poll taxes
are not collectable and are marked for abatement and I be-
live that all of this type should be abated at an early date.
State of New Hampshire Bonus Tax $4,620.00
This amount of uncollected Bonus Tax still remains on the
books of the City as of February 15, 1945; even though the City
has no value in this amount, it is necessary to carry it as an
asset until such a time as it is either collected or abated.
Property Acquired By Tax Titles $2,096.79
This amount has been increased during the year due to
the City taking over several parcels of land by tax titles.
Balance Due from Martha E. Johnson $7,096.24
A Court action in the name of the City of Laconia as
plaintiff for the recovery of $22,096.24 against Martha E.
Johnson resulted in a judgment in favor of the City for the
full amount: the Bonding Company paid the $15,000.00 limit
of the policy and the above amount remains unpaid and must
be carried as an asset.
City Officers Expenses $400.00
This small amount is being carried over as an unexpended
balance to cover commitments made by the present City Council
which could not be carried out before the end of the fiscal
year.
History of Laconia $2,000.00
This amount has been appropriated and it was deemed
advisable to hold it until this work is completed.
Leavitt Fund $1,322.30
Miscellaneous Liabilities $915.87
State of New Hampshire Bonus Tax $5,767.48
As the sum of $4,620.00 of State Bonus Tax remains un-
collected as of February 15, 1945, it is necessary to carry that
amount as an asset as I have previously stated in this report
and as a result must be carried as a liability also; as the sum
of $1,147.48 of this Tax was collected prior to the end of the
fiscal year but not paid to the State on or before that date,
that amount also has to be carried as a liability as it remained
in our cash balance. These two amounts together total the
above named liability.
144
Motor Vehicle 1945 $982.87
This amount received from this source of revenue was
checked and verified with the receipts of the City Treasurer and
also with the permit cards.
Unexpended Appropriations $77,605.86
Appropriations made during the year were verified with
the records of the City Council and expenditures were properly
approved by Treasury Warrants: all transfers were approved
by the Mayor and City Council; a detailed report of all appro-
priations may be found in Exhibit 1 of this report.
Opechee Community House $4,000.00
By a vote of the City Council this amount is being carried
over for the future development of the community House.
Notes
Once again the City finds itself with no outstanding notes
as of February 15, 1945.
Credit Balance $19,661.64
The above amount represents the excess of current assets
over current liabilities and is only a few dollars lower than
that of the previous year: had it not been for the fact that
the Mayor and City Council transferred to Highways and
Bridges for the Snogo the sum of $8,607.55, to the Opechee
Community House the sum of $4,000.00, the sum of $10,000.00
towards the Appropriations so that the tax rate might be lower
and the sum of $900.00 towards the cost of Daycare Centers for
the School Department an all time high for credit balances
would have been the result.
SERIAL DEBT
The Serial Debt outstanding as of February 15, 1945 is de-
tailed in Exhibit IV of this report and shows a Net Debt of
$117,250.00 which I believe to be the lowest level since the in-
corporation of the City in 1893; during the past year $33,750
was paid on the Serial Debt with no additional bond issues.
The Mayor and City Council should be commended highly for
their fine showing.
CEMETERY TRUST FUNDS
The following statement of Trust Funds was verified by
examining all pass books of Savings Banks and Securities held
by the Trustees and by checking all the expenditures with the
Savings Bank Books. All receipts and expenditures are prop-
erly recorded on their books.

Edgar B. Prescott
LIBRARY TRUST FUNDS
The books of the Treasurer were examined by me and the
balances verified by Statements from the bank. All expend-
itures were properly checked and compared with receipted
bills.
I wish at this time to express my appreciation for all cour-
tesies extended me during the course of my examination by all
the Departments; also to commend all Departments for their
efforts made: to keep within their budgets during the past
year.
Respectfully submitted,
DANA S. BEANE,
Auditor.

for the past year, and have found them correct as detailed in

SUMMARY OF VITAL STATISTICS
Number of births 416
Number of marriages 136
Number of deaths 252
Number of births not previously recorded 8
Number of deaths occurring at Belknap County Farm 16
Number of bodies brought here for burial 75
By Chapter 106 N. H. Laws of 1917, the Clerks of Cities
and Towns are required to send a copy of every child's birth
certificate to its parents, and if said copy is not received
within sixty days from date of child's birth, the parents should
notify the City Clerk, in order that same may be placed on
record.
Efforts have been made to make the records of vital sta-
tistics correct as possible. Should any error or omission be de-
tected, the City Clerk will appreciate the kindness conferred
by being informed of the same, that the records of the city be
made right.
EARL FLANDERS, City Clerk.
