Scribner Memorial Selectmen's Letter

1969

Dear Citizens of Ashland:

The year 1969 has brought many improvements to our Town of Ashland and it is our pleasure here to bring them to your attention. Perhaps the most significant is the com- pletion of the sewage system and the establishment of the Sanitary Department. At the present time there are 263 participants, including the woolen mill. Meters have been installed by the Water Department for each of these users to distribute the cost equitably amongst them in order to pay for the operation of the Sanitary Department.

The Ashland Electric Department has experienced another growth year both in income and in usage. To keep up with the increasing demand for electricity, the Depart- ment found it necessary to run new lines from the Holderness town line over Thompson St. to the existing sub-station which is in the process of being rebuilt to accommodate its present and future customers. The new transformers have been purchased and delivered and will be in full use by Spring. In keeping with the growth pattern the Electric Department has also required another full time employee.

Town Meeting — March 11, 1969

There were 811 ballots received and counted by the ballot clerks. There were 308 ballots cast.

The meeting was called to order by the Assistant-Moder- ator, Norman Weden, at 9 : 00 A. M. The warrant was read and the motion made, seconded and so voted that the Articles of the warrant be taken up at 2:00 P.M. The motion was made, seconded and so voted that the polls close at 6:00 P. M. At 2:00 P.M. the business meeting was opened by the Moderator, Glenn W. Bricker. At this time the moderator called to the attention of those present that many had re- quested that the Town Meeting be held in the evening. He read Chapter 39, Section 2 relating to this matter after which a discussion of legality followed. It was suggested by Nor- man Weden that the warrant of 1970 might legally read as follows.

"You are hereby notified to meet at the Ashland School Auditorium Gymnasium in said town on Tuesday the 10th Day of March next at 9 :00 o'clock in the forenoon to act on Article 1 hereof, and you are further notified to meet at the same place on the same day at 7 :00 (or 8 :00) P. M. to act on the remaining articles in this warrant." The unanimous con- census of opinion was in favor of notifying the townspeople as to time and place as suggested, thus establishing that the meeting would be held in the evening.

Article I

To choose all necessary Town Officers for the year ensuing. (Elected by printed ballot) were: Selectman for three years - Herbert G. Sides; Treasurer - Homer N. Young; - Town Clerk Marion K. Merrill ; Budget Committee for three years - Ruth E. Morrison, Gail M. Sirles, Norman C. Weden Library Trustee for three years - Margaret P. Whitcomb; - Town Trustee for three years - James C. Hinds ; Fire Wards Albert P. Blake, John C. Hughes, Raymond May, Jr.; Tax Collector - Marie D. Young; Overseer of the Poor - Nancy B. Straw; Chief of Police - Ernest A. Paquette; Road Agent - Walter Boynton.

Article II

To raise such sums of money as may be necessary to

8 defray town charges for the ensuing year and make appropriations of the same. The motion was made and seconded that we pass Article 2 until after articles 3-15 had been acted on. So voted.

Article III

To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate the sum of $413.43 for Town Road Aid. (State to contribute $2,756.17.) Moved, seconded and so voted, without dissent.

Article IV

To see if the Town will vote to exempt from taxation for the year 1969 the air navigation facility known as Riverside Flying Service owned by Norman P. Smith, Sr., provided such facility is available for public use without charge and the owner holds a certificate from the New Hampshire aeronautics commission that it is necessary for an effective airways maintained and available for take off, landing, taxiing, open air parking of an aircraft and any navigation or communications facility and any passenger terminal building available for public use without charge pursuant to RSA 72:38 as inserted by 1963, 79:2. Moved, seconded and so voted without dissent.

Article V

To see if the Town will vote to adopt the town seal de- signed for the Centennial Celebration as the official Ashland town seal. (Petitioned by ten or more voters.) (Recommend- ed by Budget Comm.) Moved, seconded an so voted without dissent.

Article VI

To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate $1,500.00 to reimburse Ernest A. Paquette for permanent back injuries sustained as a result of fighting a fire on February 18, 1964, as a member of the Ashland Fire Depart- ment. (Petitioned by ten or more legal voters.) (Submitted without recommendation.)

It was explained that at the time of the incident the fire department was covered by two policies. A volunteer fire department accident policy which paid a $35.00 weekly benefit to Mr. Paquette according to terms of the contract. A second policy carried through the Fireman's Association denied liability due to a technicality thus leaving Mr. Paquette without reimbursement for expenses incurred. Workmen's Compensation for the Fire Department was sub- 9 sequently added to the town insurance program to prevent any reoccurence of the situation. The motion was made, seconded and so voted to raise and appropriate $1,500.00 to reimburse Mr. Paquette.

Article VII

To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate $1,065.00 for the suport of the Lakes Region Mental Health Center with its principal clinic in Laconia and a branch clinic in Plymouth. (Submitted without recommendation.) Norman Weden, the Assistant Moderator assumed the duties of the moderator while Dr. Bricker explained the article. A discussion followed after which a standing vote was taken. Results were 12 - Yes 30 - No.

Article VIII

To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate the sum of $2,500.00 to extend the water main off North Main Street up Hillside Avenue to Lot #8. (Petitioned by ten or more legal voters.) (Recommended by Budget Committee, with monies to be taken from Water Dept. Capital Reserve Fund.)

Moved, seconded and so voted, with no dissent.

Article IX

To see if the Town will vote to disband the District Nursing Association. (Petitioned by ten or more legal voters.)

Moved, seconded and so voted.

Article X

To see if the Town will vote to accept as a gift from the Beach Booster Association, a parcel of land known as the Knapp property lying adjacent to the ballfield on Main Street. (Petitioned by ten or more legal voters.)

It was moved, seconded and so voted to accept the article subject to the amendment and stipulation that "the property be free and clear from all encumbrance."

Article XI

To see if the Town will vote to authorize the Selectmen and Town Treasurer to expend the income from the sewerage bonds invested funds for the purpose of the sewer construction.

10 Mr. Crowley explained that money is needed to obtain equipment and supplies for the operation of the sewer. The motion was made, seconded and so voted that the article be tabled to allow for an open discussion and answer period on the Sewer Project. In response to questions from the floor the selectmen explained that the original plans were changed in order to comply with stiffer State and Federal regulations, that the cost of construction must be a part of the tax struc- ture and borne by all and that the operating costs are to be charged to the users. There followed a discussion regarding the basis of charge to be made. Many favored metering as opposed to frontage basis.

John Napier, the Town Engineer, was called on and he advised that the project was about 60% completed. Also that metering the sewage would be expensive and the practical method would be to meter the water entering the building. Homer Young made the motion that the operating expense for town sewer system be defrayed by metering the water supply. After further discussion, he withdrew the motion in favor of the following: "I move that the cost of sewer use be charged to the user by prorating the water metered by the unit which empties into the sewer serving the unit." The motion was defeated.

It was suggested by several that complete investigation and appraisal of all systems be made before making a decision, that we may have a plan fair and equitable for all. Motion was made, seconded and so voted to pass the article as read.

Article XII

To see if the Town will vote to authorize the Commiis- sioners of the Electric Department to draw upon Capital Reserves and Depreciation Funds in the amount of $100,000.00 for the purpose of enlarging the town substation and improvement of the distribution system.

It was explained that the Commissioners have the authority to do this without a vote but would prefer to have a vote of confidence from the town. Mr. Crowley explained that this would increase the value of our substation to more than $100,000.00 and it would have a capacity to take care of additional industry.

Moved as read, seconded and so voted.

11 Article XIII

To see if the Town will vote to change the name of Winter Street to Isidor Baum Street. Dismissed without dissent.

Article XIV

To see if the Town will authorize the Selectmen and Town Treasurer to borrow a sum or sums not exceeding in the aggregate $100,000.00 and to issue in the name of and on the credit of the Town, negotiable notes therefore, said notes to be repaid during the current municipal year, from taxes collected during the current municipal year. Moved, seconded and so voted.

Article XV

To see if the Town will authorize the Selectmen to sell tax acquired property. Moved, seconded and so voted without dissent.

Article II The motion was made and seconded that we raise and appropriate the sum of $432,316.93 to defray town charges for the ensuing year. $429,816.93 Recommended by Budget Committee. 1,500.00 To Ernest A. Paquette. 1,000.00 Increase Town maintenance - Highways. So Voted.

Mr. Young reminded us that our water system is old and that we should be making plans to replace or correct the present system.

Mr. Buckman asked about sewer facilities if and when Howard Johnson builds. Mr. Crowley answered that extensions are not prohibited, that provisions were made for possible extensions in the area and hopefully the State and Federal Government would share the expense of doing it.

Mr. Preece asked about plans for zoning for the town. Mr. Crowley replied that nothing was presented for this year's warrant on the matter. Meeting adjourned.

Respectfully submitted, Marion K. Merrill

Ashland Town Library 1969

sceipts

Bal. Jan 1st, 1969 LIBRARIAN'S PETTY CASH ACCOUNT

January 1: We take this opportunity also to express gratitude and appreciation to all of the Scribner Trustees for redecorating the Library as well as furnishing new draperies. It is all most attractive.

May we here refer to a quote from our last year's report,

"We asked our Librarian Miss Frances Piatt how long she had served in that capacity,and her reply is worthy of repetition: "On February 27, 1945 I went in the Library for one week, and it is the longest week I have ever seen." When February 27, 1970 arrives "Frannie" will have served twenty- five years, an enviable record, for she has a host of friends among the young and older folks alike.

Our appreciation then to Miss Piatt and her faithful assistant, Mrs. Ida Brown and last but by no means least to "Peg" Minnon also who keeps everything so spotless, a Library in which we can all take justifiable pride.

Months Ashland Police Department

My first full year has been completed as your chief and it has been a pleasure serving the people of Ashland.

This past year our town has taken a great step forward. Our office is in full swing with all the equipment needed to operate. Records are being kept of everything involving the department throughout the year.

We have the new cruiser which has made my job a lot easier to fulfill. The cruiser is fully equipped for emergencies of all kinds ; fire, oxygen, and if needed, we have a fold-away stretcher. A camera was purchased this past year for accident investigations and is also used for photographs of those in- volved in crimes of all natures.

The new radio with the sheriff department has been a great help.

At the present, the drug problem in Ashland is minor. We have had and are presently having programs in the school and also for the parents to help keep drugs from our young people.

Last spring, the auxiliary and myself held a bicycle training program which was well attended by over 100 school children. It was through the assistance of Del Simp- son that this program was offered to our young people.

Again this year, I want to thank the auxiliary for the many hours worked on their own. The men have done a great job this past year working for me when I wanted time off.

I hope with the new year we can improve our department even more so as to better serve the people.

65 Auxiliary Police Report

This year I am putting in the hours that the Auxiliary Police have put in for the year 1969 as total. The department under the new setup which was instituted by the new Chief of Police, has given us a better, faster and more accurate method for putting the Auxiliary into a modern efficiently running outfit.

Working Man Hours 1,300 Regular Police Meetings 48

Special Meetings 22

Total 1,370

Although the total man hours are 3 hours less than last year's total, the actual working hours have increased by 473 hours. This shows that when the system is running pro- perly it demands more time.

The largest amount of time worked was on the following occasions: Memorial Day, July 4th, Halloween, accident, basketball games, dances, funerals, fire calls, aid calls, and calls for assistance from the Chief of Police. TTiere have been other occasions such as standby for flood control, and motorcycle weekend when time was donated by the Auxiliary. Another reason for the increase in working hours has been the appointment of a dog-catcher.

The Auxiliary last year also participated in a clean up day in which the men donated their time and equipment to work with the Boy Scouts in picking up litter on the streets of Ashland.

In the last year the Auxiliary has accepted two new men who have been doing a fine job, David Ober and John Donoghue.

63 :

The officers selected for last year in the Auxiliary are as follows

Captain Edward Boynton Lieutenant Guy Leavitt Sargeant Larry Bartlett Treasurer Thomas McNamara Secretary William Ollerhead

Congratulations are in order for all the men listed above for a job well done.

The Auxiliary now has a compliment of ten men and is one of the best equipped outfits around. This is because of your cooperation in buying our raffle tickets each year which we use to subsidize the department.

We of the Auxiliary Police will continue to do the job you expect of us in the year of 1970.

William F. Ollerhead

67 Report of Civil Defense Director — 1969

During the first half of this year The Auxiliary Police continued with the pistol training at the Plymouth Police Station and the Plymouth Armory. The New England Police Revolver League Postal Matches were shot in January and in March. From the time that practice shooting began through the time the matches were shot, there was quite an improvement in the scores of all. If a place could be located in Town that we could use for practice, indoors, a greater gain in the results could be shown. In the summer months the men used the outdoor areas for their practicing. We had permission to use the same ranges in Plymouth again this winter, but due to circumstances we have not done much along this line yet.

Again this year I have had the Civil Defense Police Radio on twenty four hours a day at my house. Also, the Civil Defense Citizens Band Radio has been on and monitored for the same time on Chan. #5.

This unit was called and alerted for the dangers of possible flooding of the Squam River. Several people of the Town volunteered, and helped, to watch the danger spots. These spots were the coffer dam, the Squam dam, and the banks and the dam at the Paper Mill. Several of these volunteers had to clean out the debris at the grating at the Squam Dam. Due to the high water there were boats, logs, boards, much grass and other items that held the water back. Several hours were put in by these men cleaning out the grates.

This alert came from the Army Corps of Engineers in Waltham and New Hampshire Civil Defense Agency in Con- cord. On the recommendation of the Corps of Engineers representative, fill was put in along the river bank at the Paper Mill Dam. This was to prevent the side of the dam being washed out. We were alerted to have everyone below the Squam Dam able to move out on short notice, but with the help of voluntary watchers a close check was kept on the water and it was found that evacuation was not needed.

Plymouth Civil Defense Director, Allen MacNeil called and alertedus to the dangers they expected with the Pemi- gewasset River. Again all our members were ready to go and this word was passed on to him.

68 I have talked with Concord C. D. and I am in hopes of being able to have the Town Civil Defense Plan well along by Spring, with the thought of being able to finish it along with the Program Papers for the coming year.

A thought that has come up in the past year is one of some concern. If there was a power failure that lasted for any length of time, or at a time when a Fire Alarm was put, there would not be any way of blowing the alarm. As this alarm is the same one that is used for all of the Town Civil Defense Alarms or alerts, we would not have a way to alert anyone unless telephones, door-to-door, etc., were brought into use. I have started checking on an emergency generator for the Fire Station that would handle the whole station. This would give us our Fire Alarm and radios and also the Police Radios. We could still m.aintain a good radius of con- tact for the Town with this set-up. I hope that in setting up the new plan for the Town that the main control point (E.O.C) will be at the Fire Station. This set-up, with the generator, would mean that our Emergency Operating Cen- ter could continue independently of outside power, would also have all facilities operating, and in cold weather it would be heated.

At this time I would like to thank the Town of Ashland, Plymouth Police Department, Plymouth National Guard members, volunteer helpers, and any others that have helped us, or our cause, in the past year.

Respectfully submitted,

Thomas M. McNamara

Civil Defense Director

69 Report of The Planning Board

Ashland, New Hampshire

The Ashland Town Plan, consisting of the Planning Study Report, available on loan from the town library, town clerk's office, or town office, is an overall statement in text and graphics of future public and private proposals for the community. Although it is necessarily general, it is aimed at guiding town decisions on vital matters of public and private policy.

A part of the planning study for Ashland deals with the proposal of a zoning ordinance tailored for Ashland to meet local needs and to aid in a desired growth pattern. Zoning is the only known legal means of preventing the occurrence of a nuisance. Without zoning there is usually no protection of property values. Many businessmen and indus- trialists, as well as many potential home owners, simply will not move into a municipality that has not adopted a zoning ordinance.

The "Town of Ashland Zoning Ordinance of 1970" is a tool for better town planning today as well as tomorrow, allowing for maximum land use. Four residential densities are proposed. A heavy density residential area is recommended for the present built-up sections of the community. In this area there is either available water or water mains can easily be extended. Further, in this area a piped sanitary sewer system exists and can readily be extended. This area of the community corresponds with the present urban residential district of Ashland which grew up because of its relatively even topography and proximity to the mills of the community.

A lighter density residential district suitable for year round and vacation housing is also proposed. This district is surburban residential density and coincides with the area along the Squam River Valley as far as Little Squam Lake. Public water and public sewers are needed in this district.

A third residential density suitable for year round and vacation housing is recommended in the upland regions of the community and in areas adjoining Little Squam Lake. These lot sizes will be large enough to permit on-site sewage disposal but public water is required because of soils. Good roads will be needed in these areas.

Lightest residential density areas of Ashland include districts which are either too steep or the soils too difficult

70 to build upon. Because of the prohibitive cost, public utilities are deliberately not planned for these areas. While some scattered development no doubt will take place in these other parts of the town, these areas are not recommended for heavy residential growth.

A highway oriented commercial district is recommended on the hillside overlooking the Interstate #93 Interchange in Ashland. It will draw principally from motorists using #1-93. A Lake Commercial District is proposed in the Little Squam Lake area. This business area primarily will provide for convenience shopping for the year round and vacation residents in this region. Areas set aside for future expansion of industry should include land on the west side of Interstate #93 near the highway interchange and adjacent to rail transportation. This land can be readily sewered and process water is available. It should be planned and zoned exclusively for industry.

The Ashland Town Plan offers an ambitious blueprint of future land use and traffic circulation proposals. Its implementation can create a thriving, energetic community which will spur private business and industrial development. At the same time the recreational and natural qualities of the community can be maximized for public benefit. All improvements which are recommended must be placed within a sound municipal policy and public finance framework re- flected in a capital improvement program.

The Ashland Planning Board has held public hearings, written news releases for the local newspaper concerning zoning and made available copies of the proposed zoning ordinance. The question will be asked on the town ballot "Are you in favor of the adoption of the Zoning Ordinance as proposed by the Planning Board?" I hope that your response will be a positive yes so that Ashland will begin the 70's pointed in a direction so as all will know where we are going.

James Rollins, Chairman

7S Report of 1969 Ashland Tree Planting^ Committee

During the past year the Boy Scouts and the Cub Scouts planted many small seedling trees secured from the Forestry Service Extension Department of the University of N. H. as an Arbor Day project, under the able direction of Scoutmas- ter Roland Morrill with an assist from George Ober. This was sponsored by the Tree Planting Committee.

Films were taken and sent to the newspaper for release. They were given excellent space and coverage by the Ply- mouth Record.

Two yews were added to the grouping on the triangle on the River-Main Street corner, and the other plantings re- arranged to protect the rhododendron from weather damage and to give the whole a better symmetry. This was done by Mr. George Ober, who kept the lawn clipped and clean all summer on this little park. This civic service was greatly appreciated.

A red schweidler maple was given by the Owl Brook Nursery of Holderness and it was planted in front of the Vail Nursing Home opposite the Ashland Postoffice, where its growth can be watched and enjoyed. Financially we brought forward a balance from last year 1/1/69 of $257.36 And added interest of 15.19 Plus this year's appropriation of March Meeting 300.00 And net participation receipts of 6.00

And spent for 10 units $ 64.90 And for labor on planting 26.00 And for film, phones & mileage 20.86

Making a total spent of $111.76 Leaving a balance on hand 12/31/69 466.79

$578.55 $578.55

It IS not mtended to request a further appropriation for the year 1970. Many dead trees have been cut down this fall and with the sewer project being completed, restoration plantmgs can be taken care of with the balance on hand.

74 Ashland Beach-Booster Association Report

For the past 24 years, since its organization, the Beach- Booster Association has undertaken many projects to improve the recreational facilities of Ashland. Highlighting these events in 1969 was the purchase of the land adjacent to the clubhouse for $2,500.00 of v^^hich $800.00 remains to be paid. Mrs. Mary Hughes served as chairman of a special committee in charge of planning numerous events, the proceeds of which went to the payment of the property. These events included the Fourth of July celebration, beach smorgasbord, penny beano, variety show, and a box social. Our campground has undergone extensive improvement and expansion. The road has been widened and now goes in a loop around the area. The number of campsites has been increased from 6 to 20, each with a fireplace and table. Water has been piped through the area and is now readily available to each campsite. The work done has been volunteer labor of men and their machinery. The work was under the super- vision of Mr. Roland Morrill, Campground Direotor. During the 1969 summer season, Mr. Morrill reported an income of $1,200.00 from the use of the campground. Lifeguard coverage was excellently fulfilled by Mr. Harold "Acer" Proulx. Although not a part of his regular duties, he maintained a clean beach for everyone to enjoy. Swimming lessons were sponsored by the Beach-Booster Assoication. There was a good attendance throughout the season, as many boys and girls enjoyed the water. The sports and games program held at the playground attracts numerous children during the season. This also is a part of the Beach-Booster activities. Over the years, many interested citizens have served in various capacities and worked for the improvement of the recreational facilities in town. At the September meeting, awards for outstanding and devoted service were presented to Mrs. Florence Sanborn and Mr. Arthur Dicey, Sr. by Pre- sident, Steven Uhlman. Mrs. Sanborn and Mr. Dicey have been interested in and worked in the Ashland recreation program and served the vouth of the community for nearly 25 years. Mrs. Marv Hughes will be remembered for her work in achieving better recreation for Ashland through the Beach-Booster Association. Ashland's recvpational proorram is planned at the Beach- Booster Association's TT.eetinors held the third Monday of each month. Help share in this important phase of the town's activities for its vouth and attend the meetings.

Report of the Forest Fire Warden And District Chief

The 1969 fire season was a quiet one in this area. Fre- quent rains kept the clanger 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 follow Fire Permit 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, even if in an incinerator, grass burning, garden trash as well as brush burning. Such burning is restricted by regulation to be prior to 9 :00 a. m. and after 5:00 p. m. Exceptions Commercial or industrial burning is allowed anytime under normal conditions with permission of the District Chief and a permit from the Fire Warden. Camp or cooking fires are allowed on your own property with permission of the Fire Warden. On another's property with written permission of the landowner and permission of the Fire Warden. The Warden can forbid such fires if in a hazardous area: Permits for cooking fires in the White Mountain National Forest can be obtained from the Laconia Office or at the Ranger Stations. Permits are not required in public camp or picnic grounds where fireplaces have been built for this purpose. Penalties 1. For kindling a fire without a permit. Maximum of $200.00 fine; or imprisonment for not more than 60 days. 2. For kindling a fire by any means wilfully or recklessly that shall endanger woodlands the maximum fine is $500.00 or one year's imprisonment. 3. For failure to totally extinguish a camp or cooking fire before leaving it the same penalties as in (1) above. 4. For dropping inflammable material in or near woodland maximum fine of $25.00. Fire prevention is a personal matter and a good habit. Keep our town free of smokes in 1970.

76 Report of the Treasurer Ashland Centennial — 1968

In May 1967 the initial amount of $100.00 was received from the Ashland Planning Board. In November 1967 $400.00 was appropriated by the Town of Ashland. These two sums of monies was the total operating capital for the Centennial Committee to conduct business with. All the balance of monies had to be raised by various methods to carry on the project. A generous gift later was received from the Squam Lakes Association, for $100.00. The total cost of the entire Centennial was $14,287.67.

The first project was to have signs made announcing Cen,tennial week. These signs were erected at the road entrances to Ashland and cost $6.60. Art work was by Max Dame. A huge Centennial birthday cake was made, painted and displayed with birthday candles and cost $40.99. Mssrs. St. Arnauld, Straw and Dame are to be congratulated for this fine project. This cake was featured in many newspaper articles.

A postal die was purchased from the U. S. Post Office Dept. for $58.43. This die was used in the local post office to cancel all mail leaving Ashland thus advertising the dates of the Centennial week.

Attractive old fashion hand bills were distributed within the area, cost $52.00. These were saved by many as souve- nirs for future generations.

The Ashland band stand was found to be in poor condition. The committee paid $148.86 to replace some of the floor- ing and repaint the stand. It made an attractive place for the Old Home Day celebration.

Costumes were made available by Mrs. Sirles. $543.00 worth of costumes were sold, realizing a profit of $87.22. Many citizens cooperated wearing their costumes at all the events.

Total postage was $31.74. Many committee members paid for their own postage, not reporting it to the treasurer.

77 A quality scrap book was purchased and all events, photos and newspaper articles were placed in order by Mr. Addison. The scrap book will be displayed in the library.

The steam boat project was a unique one, and delighted both young and old. Mr. Robert Thompson of West Center Harbor donated the use of the boat. The only cost was $3.00 to purchase coal for the boiler. Mr. John Hughes was chairman of this event.

The queen of the centennial, Miss Gaylen Poitter was awarded a $50.00 U.S. bond and cost $37.50. This was a small token of our appreciation for her efforts in all the events in which she presided as queen.

Trophies for the beard contest cost $18.79. TTiis proved to be a real "bushy" affair. $25.00 was paid to the quartette called "The Unfurnished Flats" and helped make the judging of the beard contest a better event.

The woodsman Field Day event, Bernard Avery chairman, cost $150.00 to sponsor. Andrew Chabot, in another field day event expended $75.00.

The fireworks were outstanding. Only $500.00 was paid by the committee. The balance was donated by the Hughes Family and the fireworks company.

One of the better income producing and most enjoyable events was the hayride. Mrs. Marion Merrill was chairman. $143.04 was received.

A chicken barbeque was held and proved successful as refreshments for all who attended. $699.00 was received but only a net profit of $34.00.

The hospitality center under direction of Mrs. L. W. Packard provided refreshments. This was well appreciated by all who attended the Arts & Crafts exhibits. $29.78 was well spent for the occasion.

Sky divers presented a thrill show and cost $300.00. The Ralph White Nashua Sky Divers presented the show.

The sum of $179.38 was received from parking fees at the Saturday night event.

Advertising in the Weir's Times cost $80.00. They published a special newspaper.

78 The photo coverage by Lasher Photos cost $150.00. Copies of pictures were given us for our permanent collec- tion at the end of the celebration. These will be displayed in the library.

"Beans baked the old fashion way in the ground" under the direction of Chairman Edward Dupuis was a sell out. Expenses were only $17.23.

A chuck wagon was built especially for the occasion by the Hughes family and $31.73 was paid for this. This added to the atmosphere on the occasion of all events.

Many citizens cooperated in purchasing and displaying house dated signs. Mrs. Thomas Marsh was chairman. $26.60 was realized from this.

A late summer band concert was held and cost $140.00 for the event. The music was furnished by the Plymouth Band.

Spud Dicey's Square Dance Band ran a square dance in the gym. It was well attended and cost $75.00 to sponsor.

The Centennial plate committee headed by Mrs. Phyllis Small and her committee did an outstanding job in the selec- tion of the plate design and sales. 84 dozen plates were order- ed. 25 plates were presented to other Ashlands and notable people. 809 plates were sold realizing a net profit of $588.97.

Homer Young, was chairman of the Ashland Stock Cer- tificate account. Sales of $357.00 with a net profit of $219.00.

The Centennial Button Committee under chairman Har- old Baker had sales of $155.95. This produced a profit of $90.50.

The Costume Ball under direction of Mrs. Lucille Tur- melle was an outstanding social event, and enjoyed by all. A profit of $191.71 was realized. This was one of the largest attended events.

Mrs. Lloyd Greene was chairman of the food accounts. A total sale of $1,006.01 of food was sold at the events, and a profit of $160.41 was gained.

The Centennial booklet with J. R. Smith chairman had sales of $3,358.75 value. This showed a net profit of $682.44. Doris Tatham and J. R. Smith organized and wrote the booklet aided by many citizens. Mrs. Joy Bricker, chairman

79 of the booklet advertising raised $2,000.00 thus making the booklet a guaranteed financial success. Her efforts were outstanding as an individual.

Edward Dupuis, chairman of the Centennial Coin Com- mittee sold $6,407.25 of coins. A net profit of $2,415.01 was gained. The coins proved to be collector's items. At this writing the silver coins are worth three times the original value. The coin account was the most financial event of all.

Anyone who viewed the Centennial parade under chair- manship of Mary L. Hughes and assistants will say the amount of $1,658.34 was well spent. Ashland will long remember this colorful and varied event.

The horse show vent showed a profit of $18.75. The pet show proved entertaining and well attended. Mrs. Marg. Glidden was chairman, and cost $45.60 to sponsor. This was one of the more entertaining events.

Our net profit was $1,285.51. This sum was turned over to the town general funds December 31, 1969. A total of $14,287.67 was spent to produce the centennial week.

On hand is the following inventory which has value as 1,191 soft and 389 hard cover centennial books - $2,774.00 374 Bronze Coins - $935.00 154 Centennial plates - $308.00 also stock certificates and buttons

It is the wish of the Centennial committee that the inventory may be turned over to the newly formed Ashland Historical Society so that they may realize what profit they can to help get them started financially. It would seem appropriate that they would be the logical group to inherit the inventory.

The net profit of $1,285.51 which was turned over to the town should be appropriated to the Ashland Memorial Park as a token gesture from all who worked so diligently to make our centennial a real success.

Report of the Superintendent of Schools

To the School Board and Citizens of Ashland:

I hereby submit my fifteenth annual report as Superin- tendent of the Ashland School District. Staff In September of 1969, there were the following new members

Mr. Paul R. Badger, a graduate of Dartmouth College and who has a Master's Degree from the University of Southern California, was elected Principal, Grades one through twelve. Mr. Badger has been a teacher in Amherst and Principal-Teacher at Andover, Maine, Sabattus, Maine, and Principal at Enfield Grades one through twelve. He was in the Air Force for 18 years and this past year he was Principal at Pittsburg, New Hampshire. Due to the shortage of qualified Industrial Arts Teachers, Mr. Bartlett who had served as Principal for the past two years, was assigned to teach the Industrial Arts Classes.

Mrs. Marion Childs of Concord and a graduate of the University of New Hampshire and who has a Master's Degree from Boston University in Guidance, replaced Mr. Hyder as Guidance Director. Mrs. Childs has taught at Andover High School and has been Guidance Director at Penacook High, Littleton High, Franconia College and Assistant Dean at Capital University in Columbus, Ohio and Dean of Women at Pikeville College in Kentucky.

Miss Amy Glendinning, a graduate of Walnut Hill School, Bouve School of Northeastern University and who has done graduate study at Boston University and Tufts University is the Girl's Physical Education Director and Coach. Miss Glendinning has taught in the Portland Jr. High School, Dean Jr. College, St. Mary's School in New York State and at Littleton, Mass. High School.

Mrs. Mildred Uhlman, a graduate of Plymouth State College and a former teacher at Holderness Central is_ teaching a combination grade 4 and 5 replacing Mrs. Craig who has moved to Arizona.

Mr. Richard LaPlant, a graduate of Plymouth State College and who taught at Lincoln this past year is teaching grade 5, replacing Mrs. Leopold who will be at home. 155 Miss Judith Stewart, a graduate of the University of New Hampshire is teaching Grade Six replacing Mrs. Phyllis Smith who retired from teaching last June after many years in the Ashland School System.

Mr. William Bourbeau, a graduate of St. Anslems College is teaching English in Grades Nine and Ten, replacing Mr. Labrie.

Mr, William Contini, a graduate of Northeastern Uni- versity is teaching mathematics in Grades Seven, Eight and Nine, replacing Mr. Beem who accepted a position at the Laconia State School.

Mrs, Shirley Lear, a graduate of Plymouth State and a former teacher at Ashland returned to teach Science. She is replacing Mrs. Knight as her husband accepted a position at Hinsdale, New Hampshire.

Mrs. Candace Raymond, a gradua^te of Plymouth State is replacing Miss Crawford as teacher of English in the Junior High. Miss Crawford returned to the University of New Hampshire to work on her Master's Degree program.

Mrs. Diane Whiston, who attended Akron University is teaching the music classes on the elementary level.

Mrs. Donnie Morrison is the secretary in the office as Mrs. Holland moved to Massachusetts.

Mr. William Bullock of Rumney is the new custodian replacing Norman Prescott.

Salary Schedule The Salary schedule base has increased from $5,700. to .$6,000. for the 1970-71 school year with increments of $200. per year to $7,800. for 10 years.

Costs The property tax assessment for 1969-70 was $219,131.36 an increase of $31,186.92 over the 1968-69 assessment.

The District has received $41,289.22 from Foundation Aid, $1,546.02 Building Aid and $2,574.22 from the Sweep- stakes program and these monies have been used to reduce the tax assessment for the 1969-70 school year.

156 The anticipated revenue for next year is $38,044.42 Foundation Aid, $7,546.02 Building Aid which is 30% of the yearly payment on the principal and $2,000. from Sweep- stakes.

The cost per pupil as computed by the State Department of Education for 1968-1969 excluding transportation and capital outlay was as follows: Grades one to six $394.61, grades seven and eight $665.33 and grades nine to twelve $841.43.

The State Average costs were as follows : Grades 1-6 $483.00,

Grades 7-8 $562.00 ; and Grades 9-12 $695.00.

School Study and Expansion Program

The School Study Committee presented a report at the 1969 Annual Meeting and authorization was granted for a Special Schol District Meeting. The Meeting was held on April 30, 1969 at which time the District voted to build an additional six classrooms, library resource center, toilet areas, storage space and an office to the Allen K. Ober Elementary School and to build a building to connect to the new addition which would provide space for the Industrial Arts and Home Economics Program and include a multi-purpose or Commons room for cafeteria, music, physical education and assemblies. Mr. Lawson Glidden presented the District 17 acres of land adjoining the school property which will be used as a play area.

The voters approved $350,000. for the project and bids were opened on October 19, 1969. There were four bidders and Hanson Bros., Inc. of Manchester was awarded a contract for $317,223.00. The architects fee to Arthur Fahr of Moultonboro is $17,000, leaving $6,000. for play areas, road- way and grounds and $9,777. for furnishings.

The new addition to the Ober School will be used for grades 4, 5, 6, art classes and Library Resource Center for all grades.

The Elementary School will be used as a Junior High for grades 7 and 8.

Conclusion

I wish to extend my appreciation to Mrs. John E. Glidden who served as Chairman of the School Study Committee and Dr. Mary G. Bilheimer, Chairman of the Building Committee for their leadership in helping to provide these excellent facilities for the youth of Ashland.

157 The Ashland School District is very fortunate in con- tinuing to have devoted citizens as members of the School Board.

At this time I wish to extend my appreciation to the members of the School Board, Administrative Staff and Teaching Staff for their cooperation and sincere devotion to their duties.

The School Bus Drivers, Lunch Program Personnel and custodial staff are to be commended for their sense of re- sponsibility and being such an integral part of the overall program.

I also wish to express my appreciation and the appreciation of the School Board and Staff to the Chief of Police, Selectmen, Highway Department, Town Office Personnel and Librarian for their continued help and cooperation.

As a result of the combined efforts and suport of the various organizations and individuals in Town, we are better able to meet the needs and provide a better quality of education for the citizens of the future.

Supervisory Union No. 2 Budget

1970-1971

1968-69 Average Daily Membership

Ashland Principal's Annual Report

The new addition has dominated our campus and our play ground. The relatively small play area has been of necessity usurped, by the addition, the machines and the materials which go into the buildings. The contractor, Mr, Hanson, has been considerate of us and we have striven to accommodate the construction effort. The whole staff is look- ing forward to the improved accommodations next year, but they have not made a stand-still year of 1969-70.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

The Ashland Elementary School is contained in two buildings; Grades 1, 2 and 3 being housed in four rooms with four teachers in the Allen K. Ober School, and Grades 4, 5 and 6 in four rooms and four teachers in the Middle School (Old Elementary). Each building has a room with split grades 1-2 in the Ober and grades 4-5 in the Middle grades ; School. This arrangement was dictated by the class size and the desire to more adequately meet individual pupil needs.

The art and music programs with Mrs. Hopkins and Mrs. Whiston continue under the same schedule, each meeting once a week for one period in each class room. Mr. Langdoc has continued instrumental work for the fifth and sixth graders. This year we are fortunate to have obtained the services of a full-time Girls' Physical Education instructor. During the fall, Miss Glendinning conducted physical conditioning classes for our elementary pupils out of doors and this winter in the gymnasium or classroom as scheduling permits.^ Each of the special programs will be better accommodated in the new addition.

Perhaps most looked forward to of all the new facilities of the new addition is the library or Instructional Media Center. Our new library will contain reference, other books and also visual aids. Access to a library in their own building will certainly broaden the experiences of the elementary pupils.

The full time guidance program inaugurated last year, has been "gotten off the ground" this year by Mrs. Childs, who is capable not only of administering tests usually

161 associated with guidance, but also, in personal counseling services. State and area assistance has been secured to augment and support our guidance program in both the elementary and the high school. The Principal's office in the addition will be used jointly by the Principal and the Guidance Director for keeping records, conducting interviews, in deal- ing with elementary problems and other business concerning the elementary area.

HIGH SCHOOL

The Ashland High School is operating on a schedule of seven fifty minute periods. School opens at 8:00 a. m. with an activity period followed by three periods of subject matter. Lunch is scheduled for 11:30 for one half-hour. Three subject matter periods are conducted after lunch with period seven terminating at 2 :40 p, m.

Both boys' and girls' physical education classes are conducted during study periods, but for individual exceptions pupils participate on at least once-a-week basis. Weather permitting activities are conducted out of doors. Study halls presently conducted on the stage in the gymnasium during physical education classes will be held in our present cafeteria when the addition is completed.

With the move of grades four, five and six to the addition; grades seven and eight can be relocated in the Middle School. This will allow us to house the high school, grades 9-12, in the high school building for home room. The present Sophomore class has home room and activity period in the Music Room of the Vocational building this year.

Art is offered as a regular once-a-week course to the seventh and eighth grades and to the high school as an elective. The junior and senior high school choral and band programs are now well established. Ashland has cause to be proud of the performance of these units as evidenced by their annual Christmas concert. The only deterrent to an even better music program is the availability of instruments to insure the necessary balance in the band, and arrange- ments and accompaniment to support a varied repertory for the choruses.

As in the elementary school, guidance counseling on a personal basis has become established this year, but in the high school area the counselor's know-how of college and institute acceptancies is particularly invaluable to the

162 Seniors. Utilizing the intimate knowledge of each pupil which the staff has and the results obtained by our administration of tests, several pupils have been retracked to better fit their needs. With proper facilities, group counseling will be possible. Present facilities preclude this valuable facet of counseling being employed.

Many of you, the citizens of Ashland, have heard me state the following, but with your permission I believe it belongs in print. TTie faculty of Ashland Public Schools is a group of dedicated individuals of considerable capability. We have beginners as well as several with a wealth of experience. The beginners are developing and the experienced have continued to grow. It would be of great benefit to the pupils if the rather large turn over of teachers, particularly, in the Junior high area could be slowed, and perhaps with your support it can be.

This year I have enjoyed my association with you, the citizens of Ashland, the School Board, the Superintendent and the Faculty.
