ORGANIZATION OF CITY GOVERNMENT
Tuesday, January 6, 1925.
The members of the city government for the municipal
year of 1925, having met for organization, agreeably to the
provisions of the city charter, the convention was called to
order by His Honor Mayor Kingsbury at ten o'clock in the
forenoon.
Mayor Kingsbury made the announcement that, having
been officially notified of his election to the office of mayor for
the current municipal term, he was present for the purpose of
taking the oath of office. The oath of office was administered
by Frank H. Whitcomb, a Justice of the Peace, who introduced
the mayor to the Aldermen and Councilmen and to the other
citizens who were present.
After roll-call by the clerk, Mayor Kingsbury administered
the oath of office to the following named members of the board
of aldermen and councilmen, to-wit:
BOARD OF ALDERMEN
Ward 1.— Merrick S. Tibbetts.
Ward 2.— Charles F. Robbins.
Ward 3. — Leroy E. Fiske.
Ward 4.— Ronald P. Bach.
Ward 5. — Frank R. Bennett.
BOARD OF COMMON COUNCIL
Ward 1. — Forest L. Carey.
Stephen W. Pollock.
Walter A. Loiselle.

Prayer was offered by the Rev, N. Addison Baker.
Prayer offered by the Rev. N. Addison Baker at the
Inauguration of the City Government, 1925 ;
Almighty God our heavenly Father as Thou hast
set us all in communities, binding us together by sacred
and holy ties, these Thy servants have now assembled
to take upon themselves the solemn obligation of their
respective offices.
We trust that it is indeed true that this outward
ceremony is the real witness of the presence of Thy
spirit in the affairs of government.
From out the great company of citizens these
officers have been elected, and their personal interests
have become subordinate to the common good.
If it be possible, may the term that is opening
before us be the most prosperous our city has enjoyed.
But if the time is not yet fulfilled may all labor in
faithfulness with the tasks that are at hand.
And when the day of life is over and the evening
ANNUAL REPORT f
shadows fall may all who have participated in govern-
ment here, feel that they have had a share in an
eternal destiny.
Thus may Thy kingdom come and Thy good will be
done forever. Amen.
After the prayer Mayor Kingsbury delivered his inaugural
address. Frank H. Whitcomb was elected city clerk and
Charles S. Wright city messenger, and the councils then ad-
journed until 7.30 o'clock.
At 7.30 o'clock in the evening the common council organ-
ized by the choice of Arthur T. Coogan as president and Harry
E. Gale as clerk.
CITY OF KEENE
THE MAYOR'S ADDRESS
Members of the City Councils :
In accordance with the ordinances we have met this morn-
ing and assumed the administration of the city's business for
the coming year. These duties require, not only the responsi-
bility for careful, efficient and economical management, but a
considerable sacrifice of time and effort, which I hope may be
freely given as we go forward in the hope of a profitable and
progressive year. Our pledge to perform these duties faithfully
and impartially must sometimes mean the sacrifice of personal
desires and prejudices for the broader viewpoint of the city's
welfare and we must all realize that, for this year, our efforts
must be measured by a community rather than a private inter-
est.
Like the directors of a business corporation, the city coun-
cils must plan for ever increasing progress and, in order to best
familiarize yourselves with the questions that are to come be-
fore you, a careful study is urged of the city report for the
past year, wherein is detailed the work of the various depart-
ments.
During the past year, the city ordinances as published ten
years ago, together with those since adopted, have been com-
piled, revised and published and are now in your hands. Your
early and careful study of the city charter, ordinances and
rules of order will give you a broader understanding of the
principles, the laws and the procedure under which we must
ANNUAL REPORT 9
work, that cannot fail to result in more efficient and expedi-
tious work.
I would like to call your attention to the fact that you are
starting the second half century of Keene as a city. It would
be interesting to make an extended analysis of Keene 's prog-
ress during that time, when our valuation has advanced from
four to six millions, and to compare the civic advantages we
enjoy today with those of 1874. Lack of time prevents, but
can we not carry into our work an inspiration from the thought
of all the faith, the time and the effort that the members of all
these previous administrations have so worthily given to the
upbuilding of our city?
It is customary at this time for the mayor to present to the
councils a brief review of the work and conditions of the lead-
ing departments, particularly as they relate to recommenda-
tions or to matters that may come before you for consideration.
FINANCE
One of the early requirements of each year is the adoption
of a budget, in order that the routine work of the various de-
partments need not be interrupted or the city's credit impaired.
On pages 276-277 of the city report you will find the finance
committees estimate of expenses for the coming year. This has
been made through consultation with committees and depart-
ment heads, coupled with statutory and other fixed expenses
and I believe it a careful, conservative estimate of the city's
needs. While the total is approximately $18,000 more than
last years estimate, over $12,000 of the increase is in statutory
obligations in the payment of bonds and interest made neces-
sary by the water improvement bonds. This increase should
largely and rightly be taken care of by the increase in water
10 CITY OF KEENE
rates, and the amount recommended to be raised by taxation,
$170,000, is only $10,000 more than was raised last year.
Last year the tax rate was reduced to the lowest point
since the world war. I believe it is the lowest of any city in
the state. This is a worthy position to maintain, and, with a
considerable increase in taxable property during the year, it
does not seem that the recommended amount should necessitate
any increase in our rate. You will, of course, understand that
state, county and school taxes account for at least 60% of the
tax rate. They are outside our jurisdiction, and as this is the
legislative year, they may be slightly increased. It is therefore
recommended that your appropriations be so made that they
do not exceed the total estimates.
During the past year maturing bonds of $25,500 have
been paid, leaving the total bonded city debt at only $47,500, of
which $17,500 is payable this year. Although $160,000 of water
construction and improvement notes were issued during the
past year, inasmuch as these will eventually be paid out of the
earnings of the department, they are not treated by statute as
a part of the city debt and have no bearing on the borrowing
limit. They must, however, be considered in our financial
plans and it has also seemed advisable to pay the note of $3,300
given in 1922 in payment of the Woodward gravel bank. Our
unusually Ioav bonded debt is due to the careful, conservative
policy established and followed by many preceeding adminis-
tions and seems such a desirable policy to maintain that I trust
the coming year 's work may be so planned as to provide for all
necessary progress without the issue of additional notes.
• Other items in the estimates are principally based on past
experiences and it has been the endeavor to keep them at a
minimum without the sacrifice of progress or effciency.
ANNUAL REPORT 11
WATER WORKS, SEWERS AND DRAINS
Perhaps the most important undertaking for a long period
of years is the water improvements started during the past
year, in the construction of a larger main in Marlboro Street,
the construction of filter plants on Beech Hill and at the Stone
Dam, and a storage reservoir on Beech Hill. It is not possible
to review here all the causes leading up to this work, as they
involve a review of ten years examinations and reports of the
state board of health, the survey and recommendations of the
National Board of Fire Underwriters in 1918, the survey and
report of Prof. H. K. Barrows in 1922 and the reports and
recommendations of the late Prof. G. C. Whipple of the Har-
vard Engineering School and Mr. R, S. Weston in 1924, all of
which are on file for your examination, as are also the
yearly reports and recommendations of Supt. Babbidge over a
long term of years.
You are probably aware that the reports agreed that our
water supply was in constant danger of chance contamination,
in fact, that reports over the ten year period showed an unduly
large percentage of mild colon contaminations ; an undesirable
excess of color and iron content and, especially after rains, a
considerable sediment. In addition to this and particularly
stressed by the fire underwriters and Prof. Barrows was a lack
of pressure and volume in case of emergency, such as a large
fire would cause.
The engineers engaged last spring were agreed that slow
sand filters would afford us the most complete and efficient
relief from possible pollution, coupled with an improvement in
color and a reduction in turbidity. It is gratifying that their
reports were so logical and convincing that the recommenda-
tions were adopted by both boards without a dissenting vote
12 CITY OF KEENE
and that work was commenced at the earliest possible date and
continued until well into December. It is hoped that the entire
project may be completed by July, including the installation
of an altitude valve on the Goose Pond line to stop the present
waste of water, and the cleaning of the pipe lines to the Echo
Lake supply. In the belief that nothing can contribute more
to the health and comfort of a city than an abundant supply of
the safest, highest grade water, I urge your co-operation in
the earliest completion of the pending plans. It might be added
that the engineers estimate that this will provide for an ade-
quate supply of water into the city for the next twenty-five
years.
Your attention is also called to the recommendation of the
superintendent that the 30 inch drain pipe in Carpenter Street
be continued to Kingsbury Street, thus doing away with an
unsanitary and unsightly open drain and making a step
toward the ultimate development of land in that section. Also
to the continuation of the policy of the department to eliminate
dead ends in the water mains as rapidly as possible.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
Of almost equal importance with the quality of the water
supply is its quantity in time of serious fire. Tests made by
Prof. Barrows in 1922 showed that the normal discharge at 60
lbs. pressure in Central Square was only about one third the
desired maximum and that both pressure and volume were
below safe standards. As the first step in any plan of improve-
ment, the recommendation was made, as has often been made
by Supt. Babbidge, that a larger main be laid in Marlboro
Street to utilize the full supply from the Stone Dam. This was
completed during the summer and has undoubtedly helped con-
ANNUAL REPORT 13
ditioiis. The covered storage reservoir to be built on Beech
Hill is designed to constantly hold in storage a million and a
half gallons immediately available in case of fire or breaks in
the mains and estimated to maintain a pressure of about 80
pounds and to j^rovide over twice the present discharge, or
twelve hose streams for a period of ten hours in addition to the
present supply in the business district.
It is my understanding that this is the most efficient stand-
ard that is needed here and in the belief that our fire depart-
ment has made an unusual record of success in keeping down
fire losses under adverse conditions and that the entire com-
munity appreciates the loyal and earnest study which has
accomplished this, it will be gratifying to us all to provide this
greatly improved supply.
In order that this new supply may be efficiently distributed
Prof. BarroAvs has estimated desirable standards of floAv for
various sections of the city and his recommendations plan for
a large program of pipe enlargements and extensions over a
period of years. As we are proceeding under a higher pressure
than made in his estimates, it is recommended that, before pro-
ceeding with any further program, immediately upon the com-
pletion of the plans in progress, thorough pitometer tests be
made in different sections of the city.
HIGHWAYS
I am sure you will realize that the very rapid all
the year increase in motor traffic, especially in heavy trucks,
has not only here, but throughout the entire country, so revolu-
tionized the type of roads demanded that it has taxed the re-
sources of the federal and state as well as municipal govern-
ments to anywhere near keep pace with the demands.
14 CITY OF KEENE
You are confronted with the need of choosing a new super-
intendent for this important position, which carries with it the
efficient expenditure of over a hundred thousand dollars, or
40% of our entire appropriations. It is, fortunately, a time of
the year when you can give ample thought to the consideration
of candidates and you are urged to give a careful study to all
the qualifications of ability, education and experience in the
multitude of duties required, of all who may be candidates,
before making your choice.
During the past year, all work, whether cement road,
bridge or sidewalk, macadam or gravel construction has been
planned and built by the department at undoubtedly a large
saving over contract work and it seems desirable from an
economic standpoint that this policy should be continued.
Sentiment throughout the country seems to be agreed that
cement highways are most efficient and economical for carry-
iirg'heaviest traffic and it seems desirable if we are to keep pace
that a certain amount of this pavement should be done each
year on the streets radiating from Central Square and bearing
the most traffic, as they need repair. I would therefore recom-
ment that a section of Washington Street commencing at the
Square be so resurfaced this year.
During the past year a greater length of cement side walks
has been constructed than in any previous year. In the belief
that they are greatly appreciated by all people at all seasons
and that they add materially to the appearance of the city and
the value of abutting property I recommend that they be ex-
tended during the coming year and that an effort be made to
construct them first upon the principal streets radiating from
Central Square. The law under which they are constructed
here is a serious handicap to any definite program of extension
ANNUAL REPORT 15
and I would like to see, at the coming session of the legislature,
an endeavor made to so change the law as to permit their con-
struction under a betterment act.
In accordance with general practice a large increase in the
number of oiled streets has been made and I feel that this meets
with universal satisfaction and should be continued and ex-
tended. It has been the custom, over a long period of years, to
assess a two dollar tax upon abutting land owners on
streets which were sprinkled or treated with oil. For the small
amount returned, I know of nothing which has been more dis-
liked or unequal in its assessment and it is therefore recom-
mended that the assessment be discontinued and the expense
treated as a part of highway maintenance.
The federal aid project on the Monadnock road was com-
pleted as far as the underpass on the Westmoreland road last
year and there remains only a short section to complete this to
the Surry line. It is hoped this may be finished this year. This
is probably the last federal aid that we can get for many years
and the councils should investigate comparative costs and re-
sults to determine whether it is desirable to apply for state aid
on the Chesterfield and Concord roads, which, as trunk lines
need construction, or for the city to build them. There are ap-
parently good arguments on both sides.
It would seem that there is a large and just demand that
as many as possible of the city streets should be kept cleared of
snow and ice for winter traffic. We have a heavy tractor suit-
able for this work and the purchase of a suitable plow is advo-
cated. The department's steam roller has been used far beyond
the customary life of such machines, and, if continued would
need extensive repairs. It is suggested that this be turned in
toward the purchase of a new and more modern type.
16 CITY OF KEENB
PUBLIC HEALTH
The report of the board of health shows that for practically
all the year, communicable diseases have been kept at a very
low minimum and that all matters under their jurisdiction have
been carefully watched and promptly corrected. Two matters
that they have previously recommended for action and in which
I feel that the general public is also interested still remain un-
solved, namely, garbage disposal and public comfort stations.
I again urge your consideration in the hope that some satisfac-
tory solution may result.
STREET LIGHTING
On July 1st of this year the present ten year street lighting
contract will expire and your early study of this question is
urged in order that a new contract may be completed by that
time. In order that we may compare favorably with other
cities, it is suggested that the business section should have a
new system of lighting. With this end in view sample lamps of
different types have been installed and you are asked to take
note of .these as well as to investigate lighting plans in use in
other cities.
CEMETERY DEPARTMENT
Constant progress has been made, not only in improving
the appearance of our cemeteries but in all possible extensions
of lots by clearing and grading but the time is near when it
will be necessary to acquire more land. I would suggest that if
any suitable site is noted by any member that it be brought to
the attention of the superintendent or the councils.
ANNUAL REPORT 17
CURTAILMENT OF RAILROAD SERVICE
Yon are all familiar with the fact that the Boston and
Maine Railroad has petitioned the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission for permission to discontinue train service between
Keene and Greenfield on the Nashua Division. Such an act
would seriously affect not only the business of the city and
adjacent towns on the road but would cut us off from direct
communication with the rest of the state. At the time of the
construction of this line, the city provided a gratuity of $160,-
000 and we are surely vitally interested in the protection of our
interests. The immediate passage is urged of a resolution,
authorizing the fullest opposition to the granting of the peti-
tion.
POLICE
You will note from the reports of the police commissioners
that drunkenness and violations of the liquor laws far over-
shadow all other offenses, although I believe our officers are
using their best efforts to stop the importation and manufac-
ture. We can only urge a constant cooperation with state and
federal authorities unless a much larger appropriation is pro-
vided. Traffic in the business district is apparently being effi-
ciently handled but I believe that traffic signals are needed at
some outside points and would recommend that they be in-
stalled at Winchester and Marlboro Street intersections with
Main Street.
Many other matters of minor importance might be brought
to your attention at this time, but in the feeling that your pa-
tience has already been tried, they may be reserved for a later
time, if the occasion arises. I shall hope to feel free at any time
to ask your consideration and co-operation on any problems
18 CITY OF KEENE
that may arise and in return I want to pledge my interest and
my welcome upon any subject of the city's best interest which
you bring forward and I know that I can promise the same feel-
ing and co-operation on the part of any of the city officials.
In conclusion, may I thank you for your attention and
urge, in consideration of the other members, your prompt and
regular attendance at all meetings of the councils and com-
mittees.

CONSULTING ENGINEERS REPORT OF THE
BEECH HILL RESERVOIR AND
STONE DAM FILTERS
December 16, 1925
Keene Water Works,
Keene, New Hampshire.
Gentlemen :
We respectfully present the following report on the con-
struction of the Beech Hill reservoir and filter and the Stone
Dam filter.
IN GENERAL
Following our joint report with George C. Whipple dated
July 8, 1924, on the sanitary protection of your water supply,
the City Councils voted on July 25, 1924 to filter the Stone
Dam and Quarry Dam sources of water supply and to build a
filtered water storage reservoir on Beech Hill. We were auth-
orized on August 4th to prepare contract plans and specifica-
tions and to supervise the construction of the proposed im-
provements.
PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS AND PROPOSALS
Plans and specifications were ready on September 5, and
the following proposals were received and opened on Septem-
ber 15, 1924.
Contractor Amount
S. C. Sperry Co., Inc., , $114,000 00

322 CITY OF KEENE
Charles I. Ilosmer, 133,410 00
lloyt Construction Co., 133,550 00
Rice-Jones Company, 138,800 00
Wm. M. Bailey Company, 142,980 00
John E. Palmer Co., 146,000 00

Pultz, Inc., 174,669 00
Joseph Long & Co., 181,288 00
N. E. Foundation Co., 186,748 00
The above proposals were exclusive of rock excavation.
The contract was awarded to S. C. Sperry Co., Inc. on Septem-
ber 16th for the sum of $111,255.00 with rock excavation at
actual cost plus 15 percent.
CONSTRUCTION WORK
The contractor began work on September 25, 1924, and
continued until December 16, when weather conditions made it
advisable to suspend operations until the following spring. The
excavation for the Beech Hill filter was finished and the con-
crete floors, walls, columns and roofs of the filter completed.
Excavation for the Beech Hill reservoir was nearly completed.
Work was resumed on April 16, 1925, with special empha-
sis placed upon the completion of the reservoir to give the city
this additional fire protection. This was accomplished on Aug-
ust 4th and the reservoir was gradually filled and tested with
unfiltered water from the Beech Hill main. On September 3,
filtered water from Beech Hill filter No. 1 was delivered to the
reservoir and on October 2, both of the Beech Hill filter units
were in operation furnishing filtered water to the city from
the Quarry Dam source.
Excavation for the Stone Dam filter was begun on July 6
and the concrete work was finished on October 2. The two
Stone Dam filter units were completed and filtered water
supplied to the city from the Stone Dam source on December
9th.
ANNUAL REPORT 323
WORK BY CITY
Your water department in the mean time furnished and
installed the 8-inch inlet main from the Quarry Dam supply
main to the Beech Hill filter, the 8-inch effluent main from the
Beech Hill filter to the Beech Hill reservoir, the 16 and 14-inch
connection between the reservoir and the supply main to the
city, the 8-inch drain for the Beech Hill filter, the 10-inch
drain for the reservoir, a 12-inch temporary line from tlie
Stone Dam supply main to a temporary dam on the brook above
the reservoir, the 12-inch inlet main from the Stone Dam reser-
voir to the Stone Dam filter, the 12-inch effluent main from the
filter to the supply main to the city and the 10-inch drain from
the filter to the drain as well as to install an altitude valve in
the Goose Pond supply main and perform other Avork in con-
nection with the improvements to the water supply system.
BEECH HILL RESERVOIR
The Beech Hill reservoir is of reinforced concrete, 112 ft.
inside diameter by 20 ft. depth of water and has a capacity of
1,500,000 gallons or sufficient to furnish 10 fire streams for 10
hours. The reservoir is surrounded with an earthen embank-
ment and the roof is covered with 18 inches of earth to prevent
freezing. Its flow line is at elevation 698 thus giving a pressure
of about 90 pounds at Central Square. The reservoir is provid-
ed Avith a 16-inch connection to the distribution system, a drain
emptying into a nearby watercourse and an overflow discharg-
ing into the drain. The reservoir will be filled by the occa-
sional excess of the Stone Dam filter over the consumption of
the city and constantly by the Beech Hill filter, the total capa-
city of which discharges into the reservoir. An automatic
float valve located in the effluent main of the Beech Hill filter
will shut off this filter when the reservoir is filled and the
excess of the unfiltered water entering the filter will overflow
into a drain leading to the reservoir drain.
324 CITY OF KEENE
BEECH HILL FILTER
The Beech Hill filter is of the slow sand type and consists
of two units, each 56'-10" by 57'-0" in area with a normal
capacity of 375,000 gallons per day each, or a total capacity of
750,000 gallons per day and was constructed for the purpose of
filtering the supply from the Quarry Dam previous to its de-
liver}' to the city.
The filtering materials consist of 12 inches of screened and
washed local gravel of four sizes to support the sand, 12 inches
of screened and washed local sand and 24 inches of a medium
size, uniform sand dredged from the ocean near Ipswich, Mass.
The construction is of reinforced concrete with an inverted
groined arch floor in which the filtered water collecting chan-
nels are formed and a flat slab roof supported on circular col-
umns and the filter walls. The filter is surrounded by an
earthen embankment and the roof is covered by 18 inches of
earth to prevent freezing. Four 36-inch manholes afford access
to each unit for convenience in operation.
A concrete regulator house with slate roof adjoins the
filter and contains the rate controllers, loss of head gages, rate
of flow gages equipped with weekly charts, gate valves and
other control equipment all mounted on suitable stands set on
the operating floor.
The filter feeds directly into the Beech Hill reservoir and
is provided with a drain and overflow discharging into a nat-
ural water course just south of the reservoir. In an emergency
the Quarry Dam source may be turned into the city without
passing through the filter.
STONE DAM FILTER
The Stone Dam filter is also of the slow sand type and
consists of two units each 65'-0'' by 99'-9'' in area with a normal
capacity of 750,000 gallons per day each, or a total capacity of
1,500,000 gallons per day. This filter purifies the supply from
the Stone Dam reservoir previous to its delivery to the city.
ANNUAL REPORT 325
The character and depth of the filtering materials are
quite similar to those at the Beech Hill filter although the depth
of Ipswich sand is increased to 29 inches. The type of con-
struction and the devices for regulation are also like those at
Beech Hill.
An unique feature of this filter is its location. A careful
study of the available sites below the reservoir showed the
ground to be so irregular and difficult of adaptation that it
was decided to build the filter in the reservoir. It was there-
fore necessary to drain the reservoir during construction and
to supply the city by means of a temporary 12-inch main ex-
tending to a diversion dam on the brook above.
The filter discharges directly into the 12-inch Stone Dam
supply main and is provided with a drain and overflow con-
nected with the reservoir drain. There is an emergency con-
nection for supplying the city with water directly for the
reservoir if absolutely necessary.
In order to visualize the magnitude of the work the fol-
lovN'ing items that entered into the construction of the reser-
voirs and filters will be of interest.
Earth Excavation, 8,560 cubic yards.
Rock Excavation, 1,050 cubic yards.

CLEANING BEECH HILL MAIN
On June 8, 1922, a test was made to determine the flow of
water through the 8" Beech Hill supply main from Quarry
Dam. The results are recorded in the annual report of your
department for 1922 and show that its carrying capacity was
374 gallons per minute or 538,500 gallons per day which is less
than 50 percent of the expected flow for a new pipe. It was
therefore decided to clean this main and after a pressure survey
indicated that the trouble was quite general over the entire
main, a contract was entered into with the National Water
Main Cleaning Company on March 27th, 1925, for cleaning
about 3 miles of pipe. Work began on April 2 and was com-
pleted on April 9. The length cleaned was 14,179 feet at a con-
tract cost of $2,742.22 and the discharge as determined by a
pitometer test on April 10, was increased to 635 gallons per
minute or 914,400 gallons per day, equivalent to 81.7% of new
pipe. It is worthy of note that more than enough lead was
removed from the interior of the pipe to make all of the joints
required in the operation of cleaning.
ANNUAL REPORT 327
CONTROL VALVE ON GOOSE POND MAIN
In order to prevent the wastage of filtered water into
Goose Pond and at the same time to have the advantage of the
Goose Pond supply in an emergency, a Golden-Anderson double
acting altitude valve was installed in the 12" supply main at
the end of the cast iron pipe. This valve is closed against the
flow of water toward Goose Pond but will automatically open
when the pressure at Central Square falls below 60 pounds and
allow Goose Pond to feed into the city. In addition it can also
be arranged to open towards Goose Pond when the pressure on
that side is lowered, but for the present this is not advisable
as the cement pipe would not withstand the additional 25
pounds pressure from the Beech Hill reservoir.
After the completion and acceptance of the work we will
submit a final report.
Respectfully submitted,
WESTON & SAMPSON,
Consulting Engineers.

362 CITY OF KEENE
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF
HIGHWAYS
To His Honor the Mayor and Gentlemen of the City Councils :
I beg leave to submit my report for the year 1925.
The section of "West Street from Park Avenue to the bridge
over White Brook, one mile in length, was widened, graded,
and a stone base put in where necessary, a gravel top put on
with a covering of "Tarvia B" at a cost of $4,790.08.
The streets of Edgewood never having been surfaced, and
being impassable in the Spring, were all treated to a good coat
of gravel, as far as any houses were built, and one application
of Tarvia was applied. Cost of graveling $872.87.
The West end of Leverett Street was excavated and
brought to proper grade with cobble stone base and gravel
top, also River Street North of Leverett Street about 600 feet in
length was repaired in the same manner, the surface treated
with light oil immediately followed by an application of 60%
asphalt, the cost of Leverett Street being $247.03, and the cost
of gravel for River Street being $383.51.
Fowler Street was excavated its entire length and a cob-
ble stone base with gravel top was laid, after being thoroughly
rolled an application of Tarvia was used. The cost of cobble
base and gravel top for this street was $355.17.
The same method was used on the entire length of Dover
Street except that a greater depth of cobble stone base, two
feet in some places, was required on account of the clay sub-
soil. This street also was given an application of Tarvia. The
total cost of excavation, cobble base and gravel for this street
being $912.28.
The cost of oil and tar treatment on all streets being
charged to another appropriation.
ANNUAL REPORT 363
The road from Swanzey Factory to South Keene \Vas given
a coat of coarse gravel at a cost of $475.67 also that part of
Silent Way that is a highway was simliarly treated, as was a
section of Appleton Street.
Considerable gravel was put on the Surry East Road at a
cost of $195.56 and $158.03 was spent for the same purpose on
the Surry West Road.
A portion of the gravel for aforesaid streets was taken out
of the City Pasture from what was formerly the river bed, and
in so doing quite a channel was opened up to keep the Branch
Brook in a straight channel, and away from the foot of the
extensive gravel bank that the city owns in this locality. In
connection Avith this work, a stone dam was constructed of
waste material to turn the water into the new channel and stop
further erosion of this valuable gravel deposit.
In consequence of the construction of the new reservoir
and the filter beds, in the East part of the town several of the
roads were subjected to unusually heavy traffic, and as most
of these roads were of clayey soil they were badly rutted and
rendered practically impassible at times, and most culverts
were broken through thereby obstructing the drainage, it
therefore became necessary to expend more money in repairs
on these roads than would otherwise have been necessary, prin-
cipally on the Jordon Road where $1,493.88 was expended.
Considerable gravel was put on the Beech Hill Middle Road.
The Belvedere and Sullivan West Roads being subjected
to heavy loads of lumber and feldspar Avere in bad condition.
The owner of a gravel bank nearby donated gravel for these
roads, so a considerable amount Avas used, the cost to the city
on the Belvedere Road being $91.38 and on the Sullivan West
Road $287.68,, $100.00 of this sum however, Avas spent in cut-
ting brush along the right of Avay of this road.
The crushed stone material excavated during the grading
for the concrete permanent improA^ement on Washington St.
was used in the grading up of Elm Street, across the flat be-
tAveen BaldAvin and North Streets, this street being so Ioav in
364 CITY OF KEENE
some places that it overflowed during high water. From North
St. to No. 454 Elm, river gravel to a depth of ten inches was
used, the total expense for work on this street was $2,452.55.
The graveling of this street should be continued as far as
Court Street.
Approximately 10,000 loads of gravel have been put on the
streets this year in various places.
OIL AND TAR TREATMENT
With the ever increasing automobile travel the dust nuis-
ance increases in proportion, and demand for oil treatment be-
comes more insistent. This Department has oiled the streets
where petitions were granted by the City Councils, and some
outside roads.
Any increase in the number of streets oiled will call for a
corresponding increase in appropriation.
This season 12 tank cars of Standard Asphalt Road Oil,
3 cars of tarvia, 3 cars Tarvia K. P. and one car of Calcium
Chloride were purchased for this work.
SIDEWALKS
This year 3,857 lineal feet, about % mile, of cement con-
crete sidewalks have been constructed, this includes portions
of Court, South Lincoln, Washington, Gurnsey, Norway Ave.,
Bruder and Center Streets, totaling 2,467 sq. yds., at an aver-
age cost of $2.38 per sq. yd. All sidewalk work has been done
by employees of this department with very satisfactory results.
The sum of $1,663.81 is still due the city from abutting land-
owners including this and last year's work.
Several petitions for concrete walks were entered late in
the season, and though the plans made by this department were
approved and grades established, the weather was too cold to
do this work well or economically.
Where cement concrete walks are contemplated, it would
be advisable to get petitions before the City Councils early in
the season.
ANNUAL REPORT 365
WASHINGTON STREET PERMANENT BIPROVEAIENT
This concrete construction necessitated the excavating to
obtain proper depth for the pavement, building of curbings
and gutters the pouring of roadway slab and grading and seed-
ing down of grass plots disturbed by construction work.
This work was done in three operations on account of the
width of the street, which at the central square end is 58 feet.
First, the steel reinforced curbings on each side of the
street were built, then the gutter, a five foot strip of concrete
just inside the curbings was placed. After these were com-
pleted came the pouring of the roadway slab, this was done in
tAvo parts, with a joint lengthwise of the street, and joints
across the street at necessary intervals to care for the future
contraction and expansion of the slab.
This work was done by regular employees of the Highway
Dept. at a price below that contracted for on similar work in
this State, and while a 7 inch slab was contemplated on this
work, an extra inch or two Avas added at all street intersections
and also on the shoulders at each side of the center of the street,
points where the pavement must sustain the heaviest traffic.
The best quality of electrically welded mesh steel rein-
forcement was used in this pavement and everything possible
was done to give the people of Keene a highway second to
none.
To complete this work it required 967 tons of crushed rock,
625 tons of sand and 9,000 bags of cement.
The cost of excavation was $1,800.00. The removal of trees
$626.19, curbings $1,531.10.
5,490 sq. yds. of pavement was laid at a cost of $2.61 per
yd.
BRIDGES
The iron bridge at South Keene over the Branch and the
iron bridge on West Street that crosses the Ashuelot River
both needed entire new floors at the beginning of this season,
366 CITY OF KEENE
but owing to the possible discontinuance of the electric rail-
road this work has not been done, but it is imperative that a
new permanent flooring be laid the first of next season.
CLEAN UP WEEK AND INCINERATOR
In preparation for clean up week a new dump was started
near the incinerator so that one man was able to take care of
this work.
During the week 193 truck loads of rubbish was collected
and disposed of at this place, besides the regular collections, at
a cost of $466.34. The amount of refuse brought to the incin-
erator increases each year, and during the summer between 40
and 50 loads were disposed of each day. A new arch had to be
built this year as the old arch fellin. If the amount of refuse
increases as it has in the past, an incinerator of greater cap-
acity will be needed in the near future.
STATE AID ROADS
This year the city of Keene appropriated $5,000.00 with
the understanding that the State of New Hampshire furnish a
like sum, this joint fund to be used to complete the Westmore-
land Summit Road from the Railroad Underpass to the Surry
Town Line.
The city spent under state supervision the sum of
$9,521.87. There has been spent by the State for surveying and
culvert pipe $475.92, making a total expenditure of $9,997.79.
Therefore it appears that there is due the City of Keene, from
the State of New Hampshire the sum of $4,522.97.
Very respectfully,
ARTHUR A. WALLACE,
Superintendent of Highways.

REPORT OF PARK COMMISSIONER
To the Honorable Mayor and City Councils :
Work on the Parks this year has been practically limited to
the Wheelock Park and the Dinsmoor and Faulkner & Colony
Woods where in both places, considerable elimination of worth-
less crowding trees and brush has been accomplished.
At Wheelock Park the children of the City have had a
play ground in increased numbers and families and clubs have
also used these grounds as in the past. Here also the roofs of
all the buildings have been painted.
At the Faulkner & Colony Woods some pine logs, culled
by the Yale Forestry School, have been sold. The result of
this special culling being a decided improvement in the re-
maining stand of pine.
By the purchase of the County Property on Washington
Street, Fuller Park, comprising 3.82 acres, has been added to
the Park System of the City. A small portion at the north end
has been deeded to the State for the construction of an Armory,
and the balance has been used as a recreation center and for
the public band concerts.
Respectfully,
H. K. FAULKNER,
Park Commissioner.

infectious epidemic during the past year, as there has been a
much smaller number of cases reported, and no deaths have
occurred during the year from either diphtheria or scarlet
fever.
I have every reason to believe that there have been several
cases of chicken pox and v/hooping cough that have not been
reported in cases where a doctor was not called.
I wish to call the attention of parents to the law requiring
the reporting to the Board of Health of all known contagious
or infectious diseases, whether they have a doctor or not.

SANITARY INSPECTIONS
This important work of the department was given careful
attention throughout the year, and there is a decided improve-
ment in the care of waste material by landlords and tenants.
The back j'ards of tenements and the smaller enclosures in
rear of blocks in the business section all show evidence of
greater care, although there are a few who have very little re-
gard for the sanitary part and looks of their premises, to say
nothing of the source of danger and annoyance it is to others,
and is a direct violation of the rules of the board.
The placarding of houses during periods of infection, care-
ing for the family if needed, the fumigation of rooms occupied
by infected patients, the investigation of suspected sources of
contamination, visits to restaurants, bakeries, grocery stores,
stables, public and private buildings, etc., the construction of
septic tanks and the improvement of plumbing conditions, al-
though routine in character, demand no little time and atten-
tion.
While our stores, hotels, restaurants, bakeries, barber
shops, private premises, and streets are not kept letter perfect
all the time, I am sure as a whole, from a sanitary standpoint
they will compare most favorably with any City in the State.
MILK SUPPLY
The nutritive value of milk depends upon the solids which
it contains. A standard average solid content is difficult to
arrive at, as it varies during lactation in individual cows and
for different breeds of cows. However, all of the food elements
ANNUAL REPORT 385
necessary to properl}' maintain life are found in milk — pro-
teins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals, water and vitamines A, B.
and C. and as methods of producing and handling milk are
further perfected and its quality preserved, it is not surprising
that the demand for it as a food has increased so fast.
The economic side of dairying cannot prosper to its fullest
extent without producing quality milk for which there is the
greatest demand, nor can the sanitary quality of milk be in-
definitely maintained at a high level without profit accruing to
the producer and distributor. These facts must be better recog-
nized by the producer, the control official and the consumer, if
the industry is to market a safe, profitable product.
The interests of the producer, the distributor, the control
official and the consumer do not differ. If one loses confidence
in the other, all suffer the consequences, and for this reason I
wish to solicit the co-operation of all these, so that the City
may be supplied with a safe, and high grade milk, at a reason-
able price, and a profit to the producer.

I wish at this time to recommend that the City extend the
water main in Park Ave. to Arlington. There are now about
twenty families living in this locality, all using water from
driven wells from ten to twelve feet deep, with the sink drains
running on the ground, and the dry toilets now in use there,
it will be only a very short time when the ground will become
saturated with this fecal matter, which will in my opinion
contaminate the water and make it very dangerous for drink-
ing. If this section is furnished with pure water soon, the sep-
tic tank will take care of the sewerage for some time to come.

REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF KEENE
PUBLIC LIBRARY
To the Honorable Mayor and City Councils :
Gentlemen :
Tlie Trustees of the Keene Public Library submit the fol-
lowing report:
The interest shown by the library patrons and the steady
increase in the circulation and the use of the Reference room
are most gratifying to the Trustees and the library staff. The
Children's Room is extending its influence in a most encourag-
ing manner. Every afternoon it is a busy center for the young
people and the story telling hour on Saturday mornings is very
popular.
Miss Alice R. Brown, who was engaged to take Miss Rigg 's
position as Children's Librarian was most successful in her
work in the department and the Trustees regretted her leaving
this fall. She was released to accept the position of assistant
head of the circulating department of the Library at Water-
bury, Connecticut at a larger salary. During the time of her
absence last winter on account of illness, Miss Eleanor Dean of
Keene acted as her substitute. She filled the position so satis-
factorily that the Trustees were very glad to be able to engage
her as Children's Librarian when Miss Brown departed on No-
vember 1. Miss Dean is a graduate of the Keene High School
and the Library Training Class of Greenfield, Mass. She was
three years in the Library at Somerville, Mass., and substituted
at Wellesley, Mass. She and Miss Bessie McGregor acted as
substitutes during the summer when the regular staff took their
vacations.
The Trustees sent Miss Saxton to the joint meeting of the
Library Association of New England States held at Swamp-
388 CITY OF KEENE
scott, Mass., in June. Miss Saxton reported much valuable
help and information gained therefrom.
Miss Saxton, by invitation of the Keene Normal School, has
spoken twice to the Vocational training class on Library work.
During Book Week she spoke on books at the Symonds' School.
The week was observed at the library in the usual manner by
a display of books and posters.
During the year in order to arouse greater interest in the
library. Miss Saxton visited many families in West Keene
explaining its privileges. She arranged for a deposit station
at the George Street Chapel and instructed one of the members
who took charge of it how to conduct it. The Trustees were
very glad to assist in this movement and the experiment proved
successful.
The Vacation Keading class was again a feature of great
interest this summer and at the fall meeting a good number of
children and members of the Board were present when Miss
Isabelle Blake of the Keene Normal School faculty entertained
with stories, and Mrs. La Fell Dickinson presented the certi-
ficates.
The Trustees have been very much pleased with the work
done in all departments by the staff.
As recommended in the last report the Board has had the
necessary repairs made. Walls have been retinted and those
in the stack room redressed where dampness had defaced
them. Several electric lights have been added where needed.
Weather strips placed upon thirty windows and the east door,
eighteen double windows and eighteen transoms ordered for
use on the stack room this winter. A new typewriter for use
at the librarian's desk was purchased, also a new filing cabinet
for the mounted pictures. Several gifts of books have been
received. A small looking glass that once hung in the old
fort on Main street being of special historical interest was ac-
cepted as a loan from Ashuelot Chapter D. A. R. It is suitably
marked and placed in one of the cases containing the IngersoU
collection.
ANNUAL REPORT 389
It has been noticed that the valuable files of the New
Hampshire Sentinel were becoming defaced and intentionally
mutilated. The Trustees are arranging for new stacks wherein
to place them under lock and key that the use of them can be
controlled.
Further items of interest and special statistics will be
found in the librarian's report hereby appended.

Secretary.

390 CITY OF KEENE
REPORT OF LIBRARIAN
To the Board of Trustees of the Keene Public Library :
The report of the librarian, showing the work of the
library for the year 1924-25, is herewith presented.
At the beginning of the year, the library had 25,137 vol-
umes and at the close has 25,550. There has been a good gain
in the circulation : over 1,600 in the juvenile library alone and
a total increase of 5,609. 858 new borrowers have registered
during the year. No definite record has been kept of the num-
ber using the reading and reference rooms, but it is apparent
that more are availing themselves of the privileges offered for
pleasure and education than ever before. The gain in the
number of Sunday readers is 158.
Miss Brown's increasing efficiency and interest in the
work were greatly appreciated and her leaving was regretted.
It is, however, a pleasure to welcome to the staff, Miss Eleanor
Dean, a Keene girl, who has had training and experience.
The one new venture of the year — a deposit station at
George Street Chapel — planned before the last annual meeting,
was actually in operation from January to May. While the
circulation was not large, yet it proved a help during the win-
ter months to those who could not so easily use the library
and served to show the advantages of a library to those who
had not been patrons. A large portion of the children who
became borrowers there are now regular card holders. The
George Street Corporation provided a suitable bookcase and
secured the interest and assistance of Mrs. 0. H. White, Mrs.
Loyal Barton and Miss Evelyn Barton. Mrs. White and Miss
Barton became familiar with the charging system at the library
and were able to carry on the work, after the first day, unaided
ANNUAL REPORT 391
by the library workers. The results would seem sufficient to
warrant undertaking the same again.
A closer cooperation between the teachers and librarian
has greatly assisted in the work with the Normal and High
school students in preparation of debates and other special
topics.
The succession of special "weeks" has been utilized to
display the resources of the library on such subjects as "edu-
cation," "safety-first," etc. Children's Book Week especially
has received a great deal of attention, and aside from being a
time to make the library attractive with posters and exhibits
of books, it has proved its real value in acquainting parents
and teachers with good books for the home and school as well
as those in use in the library.
An exhibition of poster work by pupils of the Normal and
public schools last spring attracted much attention.
The Vacation Reading Club had about the usual number
enrolled and the young people enjoyed a morning of stories
told by Miss Isabelle Blake of the Normal School and games
arranged by Miss Brown, also the presentation of the certifi-
cates by Mrs. Dickinson for the Trustees.
The stack room has been in use thirteen years and the
shelves are becoming crowded. Through the summer, various
classes were weeded out and old books of value though seldom
needed placed in the lower stack while still others were dis-
carded.
The typewriter and a filing cabinet purchased within the
year are giving great satisfaction. Repairs in the work room
and stack recommended last year have been made. Still fur-
ther cleaning of the walls and replastering over the fireplaces
and improvements of the grounds are suggested for the coming
year. Some additions and changes in the furnishings of the
children's room are already needed, also a book truck. So
much help is required by the users of the reference room that
392 CITY OF KEENE
while the assistants are responding to the increasing calls with
willingness and ability yet the services of a student helper are
needed in order to take the best advantage of the opportunities
for service.
To the assistants and to the Trustees, the librarian desires
to express the fullest appreciation of their interest and kind-
ness.
Respectfully submitted,
MARY LUCINA SAXTON,
Librarian.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT
OF CEMETERIES
To His Honor the Mayor and Board of Aldermen:
The undersigned respectfully submits the report of the
Cemetery Department for the year ending November 30, 1925.
Since the appointment of your Superintendent on April
6, 1925, the routine work has progressed in the customary
manner.
The department was considerably handicapped and put to
a heavy expense previous to Memorial Day by the necessity of
laying new water service pipe. Old and corroded condition
required the laying of five hundred and sixty feet of one inch
pipe in Woodland, and one hundred thirty five feet of one and
one quarter inch in Greenlawn. Constant breaking of pipes
resulting from freezing last winter, necessitated the laying of
one hundred fifty feet of one and one quarter inch pipe in
N. E. Division of Woodland. During the summer one hundred
seventy-five feet of six inch drainage tile has been laid in
Woodland, replacing old pipe no longer serviceable. Several
old stand pipes have also been replaced with new ones.
The decided improvement in the maintenance of roadways
and paths this year has received much favorable comment.
Several hundred loads of gravel from a pit discovered in N. E.
Division of Woodland, have been used in this repair work,
thus saving considerably.
Bridges have been painted, and a large amount of repair
work has been done on fences when time permitted. Consid-
erable work is yet to be done in this line.
A Forevergreen grave set has been purchased to be used
in place of boughs which required considerable time and ex-
pense to obtain.
ANNUAL REPORT 397
During the summer thirty-five new lots containing one
hundred ninety-one graves, have been developed.
Thirty-six burial lots have been sold; seventeen single
graves ; two, four grave ; five, six grave ; and twelve containing
eight or more graves.
There have been one hundred fifty-five burials, two re-
movals and reburials.
The receipts for the year are as follows :
December, 1924,
January, 1925,
February, 1925,

REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC
PLAYGROUNDS
PLAYGPtOUND REPORT FOR SUMMER OF 1925
September 7, 1925.
This 3'ear, in hopes of reaching a larger number of children,
it was decided to locate the city playgrounds on the grounds of
some of the schools rather than at Wheelock Park where they
had been held in former years. The schools selected as being
the most convenient for the largest number of children were :
Tilden, Wheelock, and Roosevelt and each was provided with
a sand box and jumping standards as well as the equipment
necessary for games and sports. Besides the school play-
grounds, the "wade across" on the Ashuelot river was provid-
ed with a small portable house to be used as a dressing room
for the girls. Here the need for properly safe-guarded-swim-
ming was met. Swimming and life saving instructions were
offered.
The playgrounds at Tilden and Wheelock schools were
open in the mornings from 9.30 to 11.30 and Roosevelt school
and the Wade across were open in the afternoons from 2 to
4.30. On the last day of each week all the children were taken
to Wheelock Park where inter-playground games were held.
Mr. Paul C. Sweet was elected supervisor of the play-
grounds and Miss Mary Saunders and Miss Phyllis Barrett, who
had been in charge of the playgrounds for several seasons were
re-elected. Mr. Waldo Libby and Mr. William Thrasher also
acted as instructors. Two instructors were placed at each
ground. At the end of the first week Mr. Thrasher resigned
and it was decided not to replace him.
The playgrounds opened on July 8th and were imme-
diately popular with the children. Swimming proved the most
ANNUAL REPORT 399
popular of the activities and tlie "wade across" was crowded
each warm day. Wheelock school was next to the "wade
across" in popularity and its attendance was largely smaller
children. Tilden was next and more popular with the older
children. Roosevelt was last but its attendance suffered by
competition with swimming. However a group of children
patronized it regularly. Wheelock Park was always well
attended and the inter-playground sports brought out some fine
talent and intense rivalry. As many Keene people were in the
habit of taking trips on Saturday afternoon a large number
of children left at noon so the day was changed from Saturday
to Friday, to give the children a full day at Wheelock Park
each week.
Some time after the opening of the playgrounds a tennis
court was marked out at Tilden school making the only public
court for the children of Keene. It was immediately popular
and in spite of the fact that due to the lack of facilities for the
game not one child in a dozen had ever played before. There
being but one court, it was necessary to limit the playing time
of each child and many could not be accommodated.
The playgrounds ended on August 28th at Wheelock park
where a full program of sports and games were held. There
was a record attendance on the last day, over 200 children being
present. Prizes were given to winners of the different events
and refreshments were served at noon.
Respectfully submitted,
PAUL C. SWEET,
Supervisor of Playgrounds.
400 CITY OF KEENE
SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVING PLAY GROUNDS
The fault found with the playgrounds this year was that
there was no shade on the various schools where the children
played and a great many parents did not allow their children
to attend because of this. There was plenty of shade at Wheel-
ock park but other years have proved that people do not like
to have their children spend nearly all of each day away from
home. My suggestion is that in view of the above facts a
centrally located ground should be equipped by the city, using
if necessary the equipment now at Wheelock park. These
grounds should be shady and have enough room for a baseball
field. They should have at least two tennis courts and four if
possible. Equipment for basketball both for older and younger
children should be provided and ample room for other games
provided. A wading pool for the smaller children and a swim-
ming pool for the older ones would make this playground ideal,
especially if it was enclosed by a high wire fence.
In giving these suggestions I fully realize the great expense
necessary for it but it might be put before the people of Keene
and it is my belief they would find it possible in a few years.
Keene has not now the facilities for play that a town of its
size and position warrants. Until the time when the above
playground can be provided I think the program used last sum-
mer fills the need better than anything used before.
Respectfully submitted,
PAUL C. SWEET,
Supervisor of Playgrounds, 1925.
ANNUAL REPORT 401
REPORT OF OVERSEER OF POOR
To His Honor the Mayor and Gentlemen of the City Councils :
I hereby submit the annual report for the year ending
December 1st, 1925.
The cost of maintaining the poor people of the City has
been larger this year than it was in 1924, which was due m
part to the fact that most of the City poor are elderly people
and are growing more feeble each year which makes them less
able to provide for themselves. I have also been obliged to
send an unusual number to the Hospital this year so that they
might have the proper care.
The cost of maintaining the County poor living in the
City, has been the lowest this year, of any of the nine years
that I have held this office.
On behalf of the City, I wish at this time to thank all
Churches, societies and private people who have in any way
aided the poor people of the City, and I can assure them that
their thought and generosity has been greatly appreciated.
I wish also at this time to thank the nurses of the Keene
visiting or district nursing association for the very efficient
work, and the many calls they have made to the poor people
in the City, who otherwise would not have received proper
care. The work of this association among the poor class of
people is most highly commendable, and should receive the
support of everyone in the City.
During the year I have furnished aid to City and County
dependents, also dependent soldiers and their families, as fol-
lows:

ANNUAL REPORT 413
REPORT OF CHIEF ENGINEER OF FIRE
DEPARTMENT AND CITY ELECTRICIAN
To His Honor the Mayor and Gentlemen of the City Councils :
I hereby submit my annual report for the year ending
November 30, 1925.
The following alarms were answered by the department:
22 bell alarms ; 168 still alarms ; 6 out-of-town calls, making
a total of 196 alarms.
The estimated value of buildings damaged by fite, $457,236 18
Damage to buildings, 31,693 60
Insurance on said buildings, 229,273 20
Insurance paid, 25,205 82
Value of contents of said buildings, 185,437 41
Damage to said contents, 42,996 56
Insurance upon property, 149,350 00
Insurance paid, 40,142 02
APPARATUS AND FORCE
The apparatus and force of the department, under a Chief
and three Assistant Chiefs, located on Vernon Street, is as
follows :
Keene Steam Fire Engine and Hose Co. — John A. Den-
nison. Captain, and 24 men.
Washington Hook and Ladder Co. — Frank W. Streeter,
Captain, and 19 men.
Deluge Hose Company — Elwin H. Applin, Captain, and 19
men.
Ahrens Fox, 750 gallon pumping engine, hose and booster.
Kissel Combination, chemical and hose.
Reo Combination, chemical and hose.
414 CITY OP KEENE
Mack, ladder truck and chemical.
Amoskeag Steamer. Tractor drawn.
Button Steamer. Horse drawn.
Deluge Combination. Horse drawn.
Relief Ladder Truck. Horse drawn.
We have on hand 8,000 feet No. 1 hose, 1,500 feet of linen
hose at South Keene and 1,300 feet of No. 2 hose.
Old hose sold during the year, 1,400 feet.
During the year there has been placed in service the
following :
A Fire Alarm Box No. 174 has been installed on lower
Main Street at Edgewood.
A traffic siren has been installed at the south end of
Central Park which is used on all alarms going into the square
except the hours between 11.00 p. m. and 6.00 a. m. This siren
is valuable to the department as it gives the warning that the
apparatus is coming and ample time for all traffic to pull in
towards the curb and stop as per Ordinance.
A Tripple Combination, Pump, Hose and Booster System
has been placed in service. This pumping engine is an Ahrens
Fox make and piston pump type and 750 gallons capacity. It
also has a thawing device if in any case that we may connect
to a hydrant that may be frozen it can be thawed out quickly.
On May 19 it was given the Underwriters test as to capacity
and pressure. This test requires two hours pumping at capa-
city at 120 lbs. and one half hour at one-half capacity at 200
lbs. and one-half hour at one-third capacity at 250 lbs. The
Pumper made the test easily and exceeded the capacities re-
quired. And also with the increase in the water pressure from
the new reservoir on Beech Hill, giving an increase of about 25
pounds and its storage capacity of 1,500,000 gallons makes a
valuable factor in fire protection.
An Invincible Nozzel of the A. J. Morse type has been
purchased and will be mounted on Chemical No. 1 by the time
this report goes to press. This is a nozzle of the 1,100 gallon
ANNUAL REPORT 415
size for use on large fires as it has a three-way automatic Siam-
ese connection for 2^ inch hose.
Tlie apparatus quarters at the Station have been painted
during the year.
The Fire Alarm System is in A No. 1 condition. We now
have 48 fire alarm boxes on the system which is divided into
six circuits, two of which are tapper circuits, and about 27
miles of wire in the alarm circuits.
During the year as Building Inspector I have given 68
permits for the erection of new buildings, 13 for additions, 9
for remodeling.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Board of Engineers recommend the purchase of 1,000
feet of fire hose. The standardizing of the fire hose thread to
the National standard which is 7J^ threads to the inch.
To replace the 4 inch water main on Vernon St. with an
8 inch pipe. Also another permanent man.
To the Mayor and Members of the Joint Standing Com-
mittee on Fire Department, the members associated with me
on the Board of Engineers, Officers and members of the de-
partment, and to the public, I extend my sincere thanks and
appreciation for the liberal aid and generous support ren-
dered me during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
EUGENE B. RILEY,
Chief Engineer.

REPORT OF SEALER OF WEIGHTS
AND MEASURES
To the Honorable Board of Mayor and Aldermen of the City
of Keene :
All of the weighing and measuring devices in the City of
Keene, that have come to my notice, have been tested and
sealed. Very few have been found out of order.
There are over 50 Gasoline Pumps in the City which re-
quire a large amount of time to test.
It would be well for the City to have a 20 ton scale to be
used for public weighing.
