CITY  GOVERNMENT 


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.

Elmer  S.  Hildreth. 

Ward  3.— Arthur  T.  Coogan. 
Warren  Delano. 
George  F.  Kingsbury. 

Ward  4.     Arthur  H.  Chase. 
Joseph  E.  Davis. 
Roy  A.  Sullivan. 

Ward  5. — Roger  W.  Goodnow.

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.

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.

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. 
Embankment  and  Fill,  5,800  cubic  yards. 
Concrete,  2,570  cubic  yards. 
Steel  Reinforcement,  275,000  lbs. 
Steel  I  Beams,  135,000  lbs. 
Filter  Gravel,  510  cubic  yards. 
Filter  Sand,  2,130  cubic  yards. 

The  following  monthly  estimates  under  the  contract  were 
approved  and  submitted  to  your  department  for  payment  up 
to  December  1,  1925,  the  estimates  for  the  lump  sum  contract 
being  15%  less  than  the  value  of  the  work  completed.  Two 
thirds  of  the  15%  retained  will  be  due  upon  the  completion  of 
the  contract  and  the  balance  8  months  thereafter.

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.

REPORT  OF  HEALTH  OFFICER 


To  the  Board  of  Health : 

I  herewith  submit  my  report  as  Health  Officer  for  the  City 
of  Keene  for  the  year  ending  December  1,  1925. 

The  City  has  been  unusually  free  from  any  contagious  or 
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. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

FRED  C.  NIMS. 

Health  Officer.

ANNUAL  REPORT  387 


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.

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,

REPOPvT  OF  THE  CITY  SOLICITOR 


To  His  Honor  the  Mayor,  and  Members  of  the  City  Councils : 

The  following  report  of  the  activities  of  the  City  Solicitor 
is  respectfull}'  submitted. 

All  violations  and  infringements  of  municipal  ordinances 
and  all  criminal  matters  under  police  offenses  have  been  prose- 
cuted.   Various  hearings  have  been  given  as  requested. 

Your  solicitor  attended  the  hearing  at  Concord  on  the  peti- 
tion for  abatement  of  tax  of  the  Keene  Electric  Railway  Co., 
which  petition  was  granted. 

Your  solicitor  also  attended  all  of  the  hearings  on  the 
petitions  of  the  Boston  &  Maine  R.  R.  for  the  discontinuance  of 
certain  lines,  which  petition  was  denied. 

An  appearance  was  entered  for  the  City  of  Keene  to  con- 
test the  granting  of  increases  in  rates  to  the  New  England 
Telephone  &  Telegraph  Co.,  and  under  instructions  from  the 
City  Councils,  the  credit  of  the  City  was  pledged  to  the  amount 
of  $200.00  to  obtain  experts  to  contest  the  matter.  Hearings 
before  the  Public  Service  Commission  of  New  Hampshire  in 
this  case  are  going  on  at  the  present  time. 

Respectfully  submitted.

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, 
March,  1925, 
April,  1925,

July,  1925,    . 
August,  1925, 
September,  1925, 
October,  1925, 
November,  1925, 

Total  for  the  year,  $5,405  00 

This  amount  has  been  deposited  with  the  City  Treasurer 
and  I  hold  vouchers  for  the  same.

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.

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.

ANNUAL  REPORT  419 


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.

Respectfully  submitted, 

WALTER  M.  HUBBARD,
