^ ^ ^ t BRISTOL'S SESQUICENTENNIAL CELEBRATION

1969 was the year of Bristol's 150th birthday. The town approved funds for the sesquicentennial committee to program the special affair. In order to obtain maximum partici- pation, the event was held on the July 4th weekend.

Leading off the activities was a 50 unit parade following the theme of "Bristol Prior 1900." Over 7000 people lined the square and streets to view the spectacular. First place went to the Bristol Historical Society with their replica overshot waterwheel running a vertical saw. Immediately following the parade, the crowd gathered at Kelley park to witness precision drill movements by both the Mariners, a drum and bugle corp from Rollingsford, N.H. and the Diamond Saddlemates Mounted Drill team from Concord, N.H. The climax came with demonstrations by the Bristol Fire Department of their 1860 handtub pumper in contrast to their modern firefighting equipment.

The afternoon saw a baseball game between the Not-So- Ancients and the Teenagers. The old-timers won 17-4. That evening everyone enjoyed the annual Lions' carnival. A special treat was given the teenagers with two big name bands playing at the high school auditorium. The nightly activities were capped with the largest fireworks display ever seen in Bristol.

Saturday evening a real old-fashioned public supper was held at the Community Center. All the ladies in Bristol cooked something. The crowd was overflowing and many were turned away. Later in the evening, adults danced quiet- ly at the town hall to bring to a close the gala festivities.

The entire occasion will always be remembered by those who purchased either a bronze or silver commemorative coin. The coin displayed the mortar, flag and monument in Central Square along with the dates, June 24, 1819—June 24, 1969. Charles E. Greenwood

(Note) As the State audit for 1968 was not completed until May 6, 1969 it could not be certified in the 1969 Town Report. A preliminary audit for 1969 has been done by the State auditors, but not completed as the Town Reports go to press. It would seem that it will be necessary to have the audit certification one year in arrears. W. John Schofield Daniel H. Clark Burton W. Williams Selectmen of Bristol • i . I

We are particularly pleased that the outstanding 1969 property taxes have decreased from 1968, despite an increase in the warrant. We had expected tax money to lag as a result of inflation, which would have placed Bristol in a difficult financial position now facing many New Hampshire cities and towns. We support the proposal to combine the Tax Col- lector and Town Clerk as one elective office. Not only will this provide full time service, but all town offices will be located in one building. Largely as a result of inflation, the 1964 valuations average about 76% of current values. This lead's us to suggest that taxpayers begin thinking about re-assessment. We call attention to the necessity to exhibit State Head and Town Poll tax receipts to procure various licenses. Since both these taxes are levied under State law, it would appear that the town cannot pick up the extra cost of returning receipted bills until authorized by the Legislature. Until then, the easiest remedy would be to include a stamped envelope when making payment- And, finally, we attended the N. H. Tax Collectors Association meeting in Bedford in September. This was especially beneficial because of the many changes in tax legislation. We anticipate an even greater number of changes at the special session of the Legislature, and at the regular session in 1971. RICHARD W. CLANCY, Tax Collector 29

REPORT OF BRISTOL FIRE DEPARTMENT

The Bristol Fire Department wishes to take this opportunity to summarize the fires and their activities of this past year.

The Department responded to 22 calls from Dec. 1st, 1968 to Nov. 30, 1969. There were no structural fires,

4 chimney fires, 1 flooded burner, 5 Mutual Aid calls, 2 car

fires, 2 false alarms, 1 rescue and 7 miscellaneous fire calls.

A "dry hydrant" was installed at the foot of New- found Lake, opposite Mayfair Lodge. Another dry hydrant is planned for this year, but as yet, the site is undetermined. These hydrants are especially beneficial in obtaining water from the lake in case of fire in the winter time.

The men of the company have continued with their voluntary training program again this past year. The Company also wishes to thank the International Pack- ings Company for the use of their fire-training ground. The men have received excellent training in the fighting of oil and gas fires, due to the use of these facilities.

MINOT-SLEEPER LIBRARY

Report of the Board of Trustees

For the Year 1969

Circulation was up in 1969. After watching it drop for two successive years, we are happy indeed to see the favorable trend reestablished. Here is a breakdown of circulation compared with last year: 55

Also during the year considerable time and effort were spent in improving our facilities. All the junior books have been consolidated in one section, and a book shelf provides a degree of separation from the main library area. Our entire collection has been rearranged to provide greater accessibility and visibility. This necessitated the addition of two new stacks in the fiction section and new shelving for the junior books. Incidentally, the new shelving in this junior section was made from unused shelving formerly on the balcony. A new study table of somewhat smaller size replaced one of the mas- sive tables, and a new round table for the juniors replaced the old round one which tipped over very easily. A dictionary stand for the unabridged dictionary has also been added.

Finally, early in 1970 we decided to change our schedule. We are now open Friday evening and closed Saturday evening-

Monday 1 to 5 6 to 9

Wednesday 1 to 5 6 to 9 Friday 6 to 9

Saturday 1 to 5

Before closing, the Trustees wish to thank our Li- brarian, Mrs. Doran, and her assistant, Mrs. Dickinson, for their loyal and diligent service.

BRISTOL'S SESQUICENTENNIAL CELEBRATION

General Report

The Bristol voters at the 1969 Town Meeting- voted to authorize an expenditure of $3,500 toward the town's

150th anniversary, or better known as a sesquicentennial celebration. The recommended amount had been pro- posed by a voluntary committee of interested citizens.

Below is shown a generalized accounting of both receipts and expenditures. In essence, the taxpayers will note a cash return of $2,045.43 on their $3,500 investment for a town celebration. In addition, unsold coins returned represent a $1,006.23 purchase value to the town. Future sale of these coins — 165 silver and 782 bronze — has now become the responsibility of the town of Bristol as the Sesquicentennial Committee dissolved effective

December 31, 1969. Both coins and die have been turned over to the Selectmen for safekeeping.

All persons involved within the Sesquicentennial

Committee or its sub-committee gave of their time freelv and should be so commended. Expenditures were only for those things designed to make the celebration a success.

REPORT OF FOREST FIRE WARDEN AND DISTRICT CHIEF

The 1969 fire season was a quiet one in this area. Frequent rains kept the danger to a minimum and there were few violations. Your Forest Fire Warden's job would be easier if everyone understood the State Laws that govern the kindling of outdoor fires. A synopsis of

these laws follows :

A fire permit is needed for all outdoor fires in or near woodland anytime the ground is not covered with snow. This includes household waste burning, grass burning, garden trash as well as brush burning.

Fire prevention is a personal matter and a good habit. Keep our town free from fires in 1970.

SUMMARY OF MAJOR ACTIVITIES OF

PLANNING BOARD IN 1969

Action on Specific Projects —

Final approval of the Planning Board was given the Red Fox Village Development.

The Westwood Subdivision Plan of Worthen &

Sheffield, revision of June 6, 1969- A portion of the Hart-Land Park Subdivision.

The A&T Development Plan.

Policy Decisions —

Any subdivision plan must have the approval of the State Water Pollution and Control Commission prior to approval of the Planning Board.

Arrangements were made with the Grafton County Register of Deeds — in conformity with the regulations of the State — not to record deeds involving subdivision plans until the plans are approved by the Planning Board.

The developer of subdivision must be responsible for all fees incurred in the processing of subdivision plans.

Recommended to the Selectmen that the Town not install culverts for private driveways.

Determined that the width of streets in subdivisions should be fifty feet.
