INAUGURAL ADDRESS
By John W. Storrs, Mayor of Concord
In the 1906 report of the City of Concord, I find in the inaugural address of a late, highly respected and illustrious mayor, a statement as follows "This occasion, unprecedented in the annals of Concord, cannot but impress me. Chosen by the voters of this city to a third term as mayor is an honor which I shall always hold dear. As it was at my first election and at my second, so it has been in my third election, an honor all the more prized, because it came without price or solicitation. To be called to a public service in this manner is in my opinion to enhance the trust and to dignify the office. Surely the debt of grati- tude which I owe to my fellow citizens, because of their reiterated partiality toward me, is such that I cannot hope to lighten it, except by constant diligence, unwearied effort, honest and courageous discharge of duty."
This is a beautiful sentiment, charmingly expressed; its assertion borders somewhat on a slight implication of au- dacity, but in similar position one cannot resist the feeling of satisfaction and uncontrolled elation. The re-election to any office cannot be construed, but as a most complimentary gesture and an indication of approval of prior activities, and confidence that mature thought, proper consideration and disposal will be made of problems that in time to come present themselves. Any of our outstanding accomplishments of the past four years are not due to me alone, but to those who with me in control of city affairs have co-operated and assisted to their utmost in promoting the interests of the municipality. I am depending upon and feel sure of future concurrence with and by members of this present board and its appoint- ees! It is with this imbued courage that I am assuming the obligation of this office. I think in many inaugurals of the past, there has been given a review of bygone undertakings, or performances of 4 CITY OF CONCORD our different departments, and suggestions made as to bet- terments and what should be done during the coming period; these we will omit at this time. All of our records are public; they are readily accessible and comprehensive, and you as members of this Board are not in any way relieved of the responsibility imposed upon you if you neglect to familiarize yourselves with all business of the city, of the different re- quirements and activities, including cemeteries, parks, police department, fire department, tax collector, health depart- ment, weights and measures, water works, playgrounds, recreation, trees, sidewalks, sewers, utilities, public institu- tions, city library, Works Progress Administration projects, lands, buildings, etc., together with holidays and appropria- tions for band concerts, Fourth of July, Armistice Day and Memorial Day. Continued reiteration of statements made in many in- augurals are superfluous. We all know that in certain cases things are good, in others very good, while in many instances they are not so good. We must take conditions as they are and make the best of it, bearing in mind, however, that we are expected within our ability, and with appropriate care to make im- provements. Today we do not know what may come tomorrow and to- morrow never comes. Definite statements of what we will do or what will hap- pen in the future are beyond our knowledge. Would that we could, without fear, have and enjoy every- thing that the Constitution provides, that our liberty might be in the superlative degree insofar that we might do any- thing and everything that we cared to do without injury or harm to ourselves or to others, that there should be no unjust restrictions on prices or trade, that they may be so liquefied that they may be enabled to adapt themselves to the re- quirements of and be governed by supply and demand; and in every way democracy should be upheld with evident manifestations and true realization. I cannot resist the temptation to use the word economy, INAUGURAL ADDRESS 5
but on this subject I shall not elaborate and will make but little comment. Economy, national, state and municipal, as a topic of dis- cussion, enjoys a high degree of popularity, but its applica- tion to departments of government finds but little favor with those whose pet projects are thereby affected. Our tax rate for the coming period, you may be assured, will be higher. You know why! The reason is apparent and in evidence. Certain things and obligations are necessary and are impossible of elimination, but otherwise the lessen- ing or reduction of taxes is a simple matter of cause and effect. When our people are willing to deny themselves those things for which public money is expended, taxes will auto- matically reduce. In undertakings of any magnitude, it would be wise to consult an expert. A plan for present and future develop- ments should be outlined with a view to a comprehensive, final accomplishment. Had advisory planning reached its zenith years ago we would not now be confronted with so many inconsistencies, disagreeable problems and grotesque situations seeking solution. You, as members of the Board of Aldermen, are elected by, and represent, the people of our city and by your doings and actions will be judged and held accountable. I, as your mayor, will endeavor to assist and make smooth your way; but let us with implacable purpose, be true with unswerving fidelity to the trust imposed upon us. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS

F. JEROME HOYT 06 CITY OF CONCORD REPORT OF THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Aldermen:
In presenting their sixty-seventh annual report, the Board of Water Commissioners are calling your attention to the report of the Superintendent, Percy R. Sanders, which re- port fully describes the work of the Board for the year 1938, covering in detail the financial statement of receipts and disbursements; also the laying of new mains on account of additional service in different parts of the city, relaying new pipe for old and a substantial number of new service con- nections. The hurricane occurring last September was a real dis- aster, as a large part of the standing timber on the west and east shores of Penacook Lake was blown down, and it will be many years before this growth of timber will be replaced, and doubtful if it ever will be to the extent of the old growth. The Board discussed at several meetings the problem of taking care of the blown down trees, with the result that they decided to let out the job of logging and sawing into square- edged boards. The cost of sawing the logs into lumber is quite substan- tial and probably the logs will produce in the neighborhood of 800,000 feet of lumber which we hope to be able to market for enough money to pay the cost of cleaning up the effects of the hurricane.
It is with a keen sense of loss that we record the death of Mr. Burns P. Hodgman, who served on the Board of Water Commissioners and also served as Clerk of the Board from January 24, 1911, to the date of his death, November 19, 1938, and we take this opportunity of including in our report the resolutions that were adopted by the Board at the time of his death: Whereas, God in his infinite wisdom has taken Burns P. Hodgman from us, WATER DEPARTMENT 67
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, That the members of the Water Board of the City of Concord do hereby record their sense of loss, both as officers of the City of Concord and as individuals, in the termination of their association with Mr. Hodgman. As a member of this Board for many years, Mr. Hodgman freely and generously gave his time and effort to the promotion of this important community enterprise. His thorough comprehension of the broad problems of policy and his diligent attention to detail were an invaluable help in accomplishing the work of the Board. Be It Further Resolved, That this resolution be spread upon the records of this Board and that a copy thereof be for- warded to Mr. Hodgman's family.
Respectfully submitted,
For the Board of Water Commissioners duly authorized,
HARRY H. DUDLEY, President. 68 CITY OF CONCORD REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT

New construction work consisted mainly of replacing small mains and supply lines with increased sizes as shown by the schedule. An eight-inch cement-lined, cast-iron main was laid through North Fruit Street, Centre Street and Kensing- ton Road, connecting with School Street at North Fruit Street and Kensington Road. Hydrants have been set on these replacements in accord- ance with the recommendations of the Hydrant Commission.
T Services were relaid w here necessary or if not relaid, were placed in good working condition. A woven-wire fence has been built around the auxiliary pumping station, with entrance gates that are locked when no one is in attendance. There have been no changes, or ad- ditions, other than the fence at this station. The plant is in excellent working condition and all pumps are operated weekly. The automatic pumping station has given satisfactory service and has not failed to operate when called upon. A gasoline-driven centrifugal pump for emergency use has been added to the equipment in this station. The unit is one manufactured by Fairbanks-Morse Company and will pump 400 gallons per minute against a head of 100 feet. An average of 62,253 gallons per day is used in the extra high service system. The water in Penacook Lake has been sufficiently high this year to supply all needs without calling upon the auxiliary plant. The mean height for the year was 184.712; .288 feet below the overflow. All water used from the lake was chlori- nated as usual. On the afternoon of September 21, the hurricane that caused so much destruction throughout New England took its toll from the pine and hardwood trees on the watershed of Penacook Lake. Most of the damage was done to the trees on the west side of the lake. The hurricane seemed to be obstructed by the hills on the east side of the lake and went over the tops of most of the trees on that side, then de- scended, struck on the lake and west side with full force. About eight or nine hundred thousand feet of pine was blown WATER DEPARTMENT 77 down and the pine plantations, twenty to twenty-five years old, were ruined. A sawmill has been set up at the lake and the lumber is being sawed and stacked. The report annexed shows the financial condition of the Water Works. The total cost of the plant to December 31, 1938, is $1,811,741.35, the depreciation total is $586,- 279.06 and the depreciated value is $1,225,462.29. $17,- 000.00 in bonds has been retired and the bonded debt is now $193,000.00.

To the Board of Mayor and Aldermen:
In accordance with the requirements of the city ordinance, I herewith submit for your consideration the report of the Fire Department for the year 1938.
The department responded to 513 alarms as follows:
Bells, 62; stills, 451.
The number of alarms were more than the previous year by six. There was an increase in property loss due to several
warehouse fires.
All apparatus and equipment is in good condition. Neces- sary repairs and replacements were made, work being done in the department shop.
The department is still in need of adequate ladder equip- ment, and I recommend the purchase of an aerial ladder truck.
As a result of the September hurricane, the fire alarm sys- tem was badly damaged, necessitating the rebuilding of all outside construction, which will be completed in the near future.
The several stations under the care of this department are in good condition. Station 3 was rewired and painted, and
storm damage repairs were made on stations 5, 6, and 8. A modern station should be built to house the apparatus of
Engine 5, in the Plains district.
A yearly hose test was made, and some was rejected. A thousand feet of hose should be purchased for the coming year.
Fire prevention work was carried on by the regular force, and the results of this work have proven highly satisfactory. FIRE DEPARTMENT 85
The co-operation of the citizens with the inspectors is greatly appreciated.
For the support and co-operation of your Board, and the heads of departments, I wish to express my appreciation.

FIRST ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PROBATION OFFICER FOR 1938 On June 20, 1938, I was appointed Probation Officer for the City of Concord, pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of Chapter 143 of the Laws of 1937, and herewith submit my report for the period ending December 31, 1938. Since my appointment, your Court has referred to me thirty-three cases. Thirty were juvenile delinquents and three concerned the failure of the husband or parent to prop- erly support his family. Of the juvenile delinquents, five were committed to the State Industrial School at Man- chester, N. H. Three were committed for violating their probation rules and two were committed because it was felt that probation would not help them. From the three adults under my supervision for non-support, there has been col- lected and turned over to their dependents $150.60. From the juvenile delinquents in my charge for petty larceny and similar offenses, there has been collected and paid to the complainants in restitution $36. Ten juvenile cases were in- vestigated, in which no Court action was taken, because the offenses committed did not warrant it. Of the thirty juvenile delinquents, fifteen committed the offense of entering a building and taking articles of some value, four took articles from parked automobiles, six took articles valued at $25 or more, three set fire to an un- occupied building, one committed immoral acts and one committed a sex offense. Two juveniles were twelve years of age, nine were thirteen years of age, four were fourteen years of age, eleven were fifteen years of age, two were sixteen years of age, and two were seventeen years of age. The pe- riod of probation in these cases varies from one to five years, depending upon the seriousness of the offense committed, as well as the need for supervision of the particular case. The total number of visits by probationers to my office PROBATION OFFICER 97 was approximately three hundred and the number of field visits to homes and places of employment of probationers totaled sixty-seven. Six positions were found for six proba- tioners and one is unemployed at the present time, because he is under sixteen years of age. A total of seventy-five con- tacts were made by my department with other agencies and community resources, in behalf of probationers during this period. A majority of the juvenile probationers have shown im- provement scholastically and have evidenced an improved moral tone. The latter may have contributed to their im- provement in scholarship. A review of the cases of juvenile delinquency indicates the principal cause to be lack of parental supervision. Either the mother or father was absent from the home because of death, divorce or separation, and the other parent was at work away from home in order to support the children. In other words, the usual parental supervision and home life were lacking. It is generally conceded that best results are obtained in probation work when the case load does not exceed seventy- five cases per Probation Officer engaged in full time work. At present, the City Probation Officer is employed on a part time basis. With thirty-three cases referred to my depart- ment in six months' time and ten cases more referred for in- vestigation, but in which no Court action was taken, it is probable that before the end of another six months' period, the case load will demand all of my time, if the best results are to be attained. Co-operation is the basis of success in probation work. Such success as has attended my efforts is due in a large part to the whole-hearted co-operation of the State Probation Department, Police Department, and the Relief and Welfare Departments of the city and state. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT L. COLBY, Probation Officer. : : REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS Concord, N. H., December 31, 1938.

REPORT OF THE CITY LIBRARY FOR 1938 To His Honor the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen: Gentlemen: The Board of Library Trustees herewith transmits the report of the library activities for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1938, consisting of the financial and narrative reports of the Librarian. The Board wishes to take this opportunity to commend the Librarian and her staff for their wholehearted co-opera- tion, their faithfulness and the splendid type of library serv- ice rendered under such trying conditions. The Board wishes also to thank the public for their cheer- ful acceptance of limited facilities in temporary quarters. Respectfully submitted, Levin J. Chase, President oj the Board. REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN To the Board of Trustees of the Concord Public Library: The following is a report of the library for the year ending December 31, 1938: Expenditures 116 CITY OF CONCORD Supplies, PUBLIC LIBRARY 117 Penacook Branch: Fiction, 11,049 Non-fiction, 2,386 Total, 118 CITY OF CONCORD which they received no extra salary. It was not easy to move forty thousand books in order, as well as all equipment, light fixtures, etc., and a countless number of valuable birds. In our present quarters our books range from the attic to the cellar, with a large number of the older books and the Good- hue Bird Collection stored in the Walker Street chapel. We expected that while we were in temporary quarters we would have little business, but apparently the public likes the new quarters for we have had an increase of two thousand books per month. The staff, which consists of six people, is doing the work of at least ten assistants; all are greatly overworked and consequently it is not possible to provide library users with as good service as could be wished. In May the library entertained this district of the New Hampshire Library Association and, because of our lack of space, Major Otis Hammond kindly allowed us to use the New Hampshire Historical Building. Two members of the Board took part in the all-day session and four Trustees were present at the meeting. In June the Librarian and one staff member attended a week's regional library conference at Manchester, Vermont, and one Trustee was at part of the convention. In July Miss Doris King, of the staff, left for six weeks' study in library work at Columbia University. Last summer plans for the new building were begun after the Public Works Administration had made a grant of $111,- 688 and Mr. Alfred Morton Githens and Francis Keally of New York were chosen as architects, with Eugene Magenau and Stewart Lyford of this city as associates. With the legal advice of Mr. Dudley Orr, the land on Green Street, from the house occupied by Bishop Dallas to Prince Street, was pur- chased for a new library site and in August Mayor Storrs broke ground for the new building, which is now in the process of construction. Three members of the staff, Miss Mary Dennett, Miss Josephine Brown and Miss Ruth Melvin attended the an- nual meeting of the New Hampshire Library Association at Durham in August. All of the staff were present at the an- nual banquet and two Trustees also attended the meeting. PUBLIC LIBRARY 119 At the Citizens' Library luncheon, held at the Rumford Coffee House in the fall, two staff members and three Trustees were present. The reference room, in charge of Miss Dennett, has been used by 5,575 people and has been a very active place due partly to the school children and Boston University exten- sion course taken by many of the teachers. A new registration was started in December in anticipa- tion of the new building and there are now 10,115 registered borrowers of the main library and 1,342 new borrowers this last year. Also in December an electric charging machine for giving out books was installed and this should save the staff a great deal of time. This machine is the first one to be used in New Hampshire. We have purchased 2,175 books this year and 125 books have been given, making a total of 2,300 books added. 1,614 books have been discarded, leaving a total of 40,686 books in the library. The quality of the book stock has gone down, be- cause there has not been enough money to replace the books, which have worn out in this year of greatly increased use. Last summer the library gratefully received the following bequest under the will of Andrew Abbott: "I give and bequeath unto the Public Library of the City of Concord, New Hampshire, the sum of one thousand dol- lars in memory of my brother Stephen F. Abbott, said sum to be held in trust, and the annual income thereof to be used for the purchase of new books for said Library." Children's Library The children's library has had a very active year. In April this part of the library was moved to an upstairs room at 42 Pleasant Street in one morning, so that Mrs. Fred Clement, children's librarian, was able to open at one o'clock as usual. Because of lack of space in temporary quarters the high school department is in the same room with the first six grades, but in the new library the young people will have a separate room. During the spring the children's librarian had 120 CITY OF CONCORD a very attractive scene depicting Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which evoked much interest from the children. In July Mrs. Clement was granted a six months' leave of absence by the Trustees and Miss Doris Tappan took charge of the children's work for the summer. She had a very suc- cessful reading club of thirty-five members. A ship, the S.S. Reading, was built in the center of the children's library and its cargo contained the books to be read for the cruise. Each passenger had an anchor with blue stars for fiction and gold stars for non-fiction. At the close of the contest a nautical party was held in St. John's Hall, with book prizes for the winners and three puppet shows produced under the super- vision of the New Hampshire Public Library Commission. An account of the reading club appeared in the magazine Young Wings and the Junior Literary Guild presented the children's library with a book. In September Miss Helen Morey, graduate of Syracuse Library School, took charge of the children's library and has organized groups of various ages, for story-hours held every Saturday morning. Miss Morey tells stories to the children and Miss King teaches them songs and plays for them. Dur- ing Book Week in November children from the different schools visited the library, and a puppet show, presented by Katherine Foster and Cynthia Colby, attracted several hun- dred children. The children's library was nicely decorated for Book Week with flags and dolls of all nations, represent- ing the theme "New Books — New Worlds" and many new books were on display. Most of the elementary schools in the Union School District borrow books from the library for pleasure reading and Miss Ann Killeen, librarian at the senior and junior high schools, has borrowed many books for the libraries there. A new registration has been started in the children's department, so that with the new building all children below seventh grade will have different cards and a separate file. The week before the Christmas holidays Miss Morey and Miss King visited all the suburbs, giving Christ- mas music and stories for the children. public library 121 Branches The largest branch is at Penacook and is in charge of Miss Ruth Melvin of the main library staff. It is open every Tues- day and Friday afternoons and Miss Melvin has given out 13,375 books this year, an increase of 5,040 over 1937. Dur- ing Book Week Mrs. Edward Towne told stories to a group of fifty-five children and Miss Doris King played and sang to them. The Penacook schools made attractive Book Week posters, which were on display in the branch room. There are now 576 registered borrowers at Penacook and 218 new bor- rowers this year. When the main library was moved more book cases were installed and there are about 2,500 books in that branch. In East Concord a collection of books is kept at the home of Mrs. Herbert Stuart and these are available at all times and are changed for a different set of books as often as possible. At Concord Heights a branch in charge of Miss Rosemary Somes was opened in June at the Grange Hall and continued there until fall when, because of lack of money to pay for heating the hall, it was moved to the Highland Club next to the Harriet P. Dame School. We are grateful to the Highland Club for the building, light and heat, which they provide without charge. Miss Somes had a reading club last summer for the chil- dren, which ended with a party and prizes for the children reporting on the largest number of books. This branch is open every Tuesday and Saturday afternoon and is now in charge of Miss Rena Coulombe. In November a story-hour was held with stories by Miss Morey and violin music by Miss King of the main library staff and sixty children were present. 2,782 books were given out from this branch. In October the public library was asked to take over the West Concord Library as a branch. Thanks to Chief William T. Happney of the Concord Fire Department, we are al- lowed the use of the large room over the West Concord Fire Station, with heat and light included, and the library was 122 CITY OP CONCORD moved there last fall. Miss Barbara Loiselle is in charge and the library is open every Tuesday and Friday afternoon and Friday evening. About fifty children were present for a story- hour, put on last fall by members of the staff of the main library. The people of West Concord should feel very grate- ful to Reverend and Mrs. Franklin Thompson for the work they have done in starting and building up the West Con- cord Library and we hope that the public library will have enough money to carry on the work and give good service. Conclusion Of course our temporary quarters are very small — one visiting librarian called it a "doll's library" — it is cut-up and crowded, but we are fortunate in being able to keep the library open and we hope that our library users will continue their cheerful acceptance of many minor and some major inconveniences, especially with a new building in the near future with plenty of room for the whole community. We are grateful to the Trustees for all the time and effort they have put into moving the library and planning the new building — probably never in the history of the library has there been so much responsibility for a board. I am especially grateful to the staff for their splendid co- operation in this hard year — for it has been a difficult one in many ways — to the interested groups before whom I have spoken this year, to the Concord Monitor for the fine publicity it has given the library and to all the people who have given of their time and money in the service of the library. Respectfully submitted, MARION F. HOLT, Librarian. REPORT OF THE CITY CLERK To the Board of Aldermen: The undersigned herewith presents an account of the amount received from fees, licenses and other sources for the year ending December 31, 1938: Mortgages, $252.00 Conditional Sales, 984.58 Discharges, 82 . 25 Writs, 20.00 Assignment of Wages, 4 . 50 Marriage Licenses, 440.00 Certificates of Record, 136.75 Resident Certificates, 48 . 00 124 CITY OF CONCORD REPORT OF SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES To His Honor the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen: In addition to the usual routine work during the period January 1, 1938 to January 1, 1939, your Sealer of Weights and Measures has responded to many requests of Concord citizens and officials of city departments, some of which have been of unusual nature. Several freight carloads of coal were weighed for the purpose of ascertaining if correct weight had been delivered; bins of coal were measured to estimate the amount therein; wood "in the loose" measured; and 25 bags of coal weighed. Occasionally an inspector, in the course of his duties, will come across an antiquated weighing or measuring device, which no longer adequately serves the purpose for which it was designed. This was the case of a steelyard, which was found inaccurate and, consequently, confiscated. There are few such devices now in existence, as more modern methods of weighing commodities are employed. A similar condition exists in connection with dry measures. Seventeen were tested during the year, although most commodities are sold by weight rather than measure. Your sealer tested 1,076 scales, 728 of which were found correct and were sealed, 312 were adjusted before being sealed, 16 confiscated and 20 condemned for repairs. There were 1,074 weights tested, 1,058 being found correct and 16 adjusted before being sealed. Liquid measures to the number of 5,654 were tested, the majority of which were found correct and were sealed, 4 were adjusted before being sealed, 9 confiscated and 2 condemned for repairs. There were 408 automatic pumps tested, 303 of which were found correct and were sealed, 97 were adjusted before being sealed, 1 confiscated, and 7 condemned for repairs. It 126 CITY OF CONCORD was necessary to make reinspections in connection with the latter in order to seal the pumps after they had been put in proper condition. There were tested 3,073 oil measuring devices. The usual, careful supervision of commodities packaged in advance of sale was made to ascertain that customers were receiving correct weight, and also that their net contents were expressed in accordance with the requirements. In some instances the packages were not marked properly, while others did not contain the correct weight. The results were as follows: 4,329 correct, 52 over and 130 under weight. Ten (10) loads of coal in the process of delivery were weighed, 2 of which contained the amount specified on the certificates, 4 over and 4 under weight. Thirty-six (36) yardsticks were tested, 3 of which were confiscated, while the others were found to be accurate. Two (2) cloth-measuring machines were tested and found correct. There were measured 56 truck bodies used in the delivery of wood, all of which were found correct with the exception of five. Respectfully submitted, GEORGE A. DEARBORN, Sealer of Weights and Measures.

Storrs, the Board of Health and the Board of Aldermen: The following report is submitted to you from the Depart- ment of Health for the year 1938: The general health of the city has been exceptionally good and a decrease shown in certain diseases. There is evidence of more concerted effort in combating some diseases, such as diabetes and nephritis. The department has given much at- tention toward decreasing communicable disease by steriliz- ing of utensils in eating places, blood testing of food handlers and a rigid surveillance of all serious contagion. The United States Public Health Service has supplied funds for a Plumbing and Housing Inspector and a Public Health Nurse. The work of inspecting housing and plumbing conditions has been carried on by Mr. Ellsworth B. Phil- brick. He reports much improvement in the past year and with the continued co-operation of the property owners, it is hoped considerable more work may be accomplished this coming year. The Public Health Nurse, Mrs. Sarah R. Siroy, R.N., has continued to give service to the Parochial Schools of Concord and Penacook. She has assisted at the venereal disease clinics and made many home visits in connection with this work. Respectfully submitted, DONALD G.

Schedule A 148 CITY OF CONCORD Schedule B Income Received REPORT OF THE PARK AND CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS To the Mayor and the Park and Cemetery Commission: Throughout the cemetery system of Concord, special attention has been given during 1938 to thoroughly fertiliz- ing all grass plots, shrubbery, trees and flowers, as well as maintaining the regular standard of upkeep and improving upon it when possible. In Blossom Hill Cemetery, Block MM was graded with a rough fill; six-tenths of a mile of permanent black surface road completed; the pond finished with ashlar sides, dredged, a spillway built, and a cement bridge erected; a five-stall garage added to the present one; surface drainage put in from the South Gate to the present Tool House, and both the foundation and roof of the Chapel repaired. Pine Grove Cemetery is rapidly becoming a modern cemetery, due to the removal of twenty-six curbed lots with careful grading. Soucook Cemetery had new trees and shrubbery set out. Both Maple Grove and Woodlawn Cemeteries roadways were repaired, shrubbery fertilized, and many unsightly trees and stubs removed. In Old North Cemetery, the Stickney Mausoleum was completed and landscaped and a trust fund of $10,000 placed. At the beginning of 1938 there were approximately 1,900 maple trees in the Nursery. In the spring an additional 1,000 trees were purchased and previous to the hurricane 700 of these nursery stock trees were set out along the city streets and in the parks. This left a balance of 2,200 trees in the Nursery, which will be available in the coming spring and fall to replace the many public trees felled during the Sep- tember storm and trees that will have to be removed because of injuries. As nursery stock is much higher since the de- mand has become greater and promises to stay so, this well- stocked Nursery of Concord's promises to be the means of a 150 CITY OF CONCORD substantial saving in 1939. Over 1,500 street trees were fertilized. The City of Concord has been particularly for- tunate in its insect control. Only three trees in the city showed any defoliation resulting from Elm Leaf Beetle, because the trees instead of being sprayed once were sprayed twice. The Japanese Beetle showed a decided decrease, no entirely new infested area was discovered and only one section on Green Street showed a slight increase. Also the Maple Bark Borer was controlled by fertilizing and trim- ming trees. The usual work was carried on throughout the park sys- tem: mowing, planting, trimming, general upkeep and spraying. The swimming pools had a successful season with five pools in use. These pools met with State Board of Health requirements in regard to chlorine content and bacteria. Only one accident occurred in the pools and that one was at Kimball. At White Park, a great deal of grading was carried on and a retaining wall of ashlar was erected at the base of High Street sloop. The ball diamond was rough graded, but left unfinished due to the hurricane. Walk-ways were rip- rapped and stone dust spread on the main walks. This type of walk seems not only practical and lasting, but an attrac- tive asset as well. A new dam was built at the outlet of the pond, which regulates the height of the pond and drains the low area as well. In Rollins Park, a lily pond was built, the flower bed on the Broadway side resoiled and approximately 700 new plants and shrubs set out. Trees in the Deer Park were trimmed and a new water line laid to the duck pond. Garrison Park had a much needed safety measure taken in the form of the filling in of the old brook bed which was then regraded. A new bridge was built across the brook, benches set out and the general upkeep was increased. Many old shrubs and hedges were removed and replaced in West Garden.

Your Solicitor thanks all city officials and employees for the co-operation and consideration extended to him by them during the last twelve months. Respectfully submitted, Henry P. Callahan, City Solicitor. REPORT OF THE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT Concord, N. H., December 31, 1938.

LANGLEY, Chairman, EUGENE F. MAGENAU, HARVEY W. PHANEUF, GORDON S. LORD, JOHN S. CORBETT, Zoning Board of Adjustment. REPORT OF THE CITY PLANNING BOARD Establishment of Board Recognizing the need for a fact-finding and advisory- planning agency to assist in promoting the best development of the City of Concord and following the practice adopted in 1,700 other cities in the United States, the Board of Alder- men on April 11, 1938, passed an ordinance establishing the City Planning Board. Functions The City Planning Board has no powers, but its duties are many-fold. Briefly, it is the function of the Board to act in an advisory capacity to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen in formulating plans and policies affecting the present and future physical development of Concord. The activities of the Planning Board supplement, but in no way usurp, any of the functions of the governmental agencies of the city. Board Membership The City Planning Board is composed of nine members, namely, the Mayor, an administrative official of the city selected by the Mayor, a member of the Board of Aldermen selected by that body, and six citizens appointed by the Mayor. The members of the Planning Board are James M. Langley, chairman; Dudley W. Orr, secretary; John B. Jameson, Frederick P. Clark, Austin E. Page, Raymond D. Edwards, Mayor John W. Storrs, City Engineer Edward E. Beane and Alderman Harold D. Merrill. The members of the City Planning Board receive no compensation. The oath of office was administered to the Board at the first meeting held June 1, 1938. Staff Since the Board members serve at no salary, a small staff is necessary to permit the conduct of studies and preparation 156 CITY OF CONCORD of plans. A program of activities having been submitted to the Board of Aldermen for its consideration, the Aldermen on September 12, 1938, made available to the Planning Board an appropriation of $983 to defray expenses for the balance of the 1938 budget year. On October 3, 1938, Gustaf H. Lehtinen was appointed by the Planning Board to carry on its research studies. Shortly afterwards a draftsman was added to the staff. Activities and Accomplishments Although the Board's staff has been working only since October, 1938, definite progress has already been made in the study of the city's development and problems of immediate concern. Finding in the Planning Board an aid in the con- sideration of varied problems, the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen have referred to the Planning Board several mat- ters for study and recommendations. While these have slowed down the rate of progress on the normal studies of Concord's long-range possibilities and requirements, the Board has been glad to assist the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen and in so doing indicate the fact-finding service available in the Planning Board's staff. 1. September 1938 Storm Before the newly organized Planning Board and its staff of one had a chance to catch its breath, the severe flood and gale visited the city. Instructing its research worker to sur- vey and determine the extent of storm damages, the Plan- ning Board was able to present to the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen, within one week after the staff had been em- ployed, a comprehensive report* summarizing the estimated damage wrought by the storm to the various types of public and private property, as well as a record of the activities of the citizens, organizations and governmental departments during and immediately following the emergency. It is sig- *A limited number of copies of this report are available at the Plan- ning Board office. PLANNING BOARD 157 nificant that the Planning Board's estimates approximated very closely actual damages as ascertained later. 2. Study of Land Use and Development During the remaining months of 1938, the staff undertook and completed a survey and study of the use and develop- ment of land in the city. This is the first in a series of studies fundamental to the consideration of plans for the future re- quirements and development of Concord. The use of every piece of property in the city was recorded on maps which are on file in the Planning Board's office. The results of this study were printed and made available to the public in a report* entitled, "The Development and Use of Land in Concord, New Hampshire." Although a knowledge of the uses of land is a fundamental step in the process of laying a foundation from which will evolve the City Plan, an immediate value of making this study is to permit an analysis of existing trends of land use in relation to an intelligent amendment of the present zoning ordinance. This task will be one of the first to which the Planning Board will give its consideration during the coming year. 3. "Health Center" Study At the request of the Mayor, the Planning Board in- structed the staff to survey the advisability and feasibility of the erection of a combined health and social service center in Concord. Upon completion of this study, the Planning Board recommended to the Mayor that such action be de- ferred for the present, because the actual demand on the part of the various agencies concerned did not appear to warrant an expenditure of city funds at the present time. 4. Army Air Base Study A study of the advantages and disadvantages connected with the proposed location of an Army Air Base in Concord *A limited number of copies of this report are available at the Plan- ning Board office. 158 CITY OF CONCORD was undertaken by the Board's staff at the request of the Airport Commission. Chief among the advantages involved were the following : the large amount of permanent construc- tion and expansion, increased population, increased purchas- ing power, growth of small industries dependent on the air base, employment of local people in construction, and estab- lishing Concord as the focal point of parallel expansion of civil aeronautic activity. Outstanding disadvantages were listed as loss of present civil airport, loss of existing facilities (such as water mains, streets, sewers, etc.), tax loss, possible change in character of population, noise nuisance, danger of accident from take-offs or loosening of bombs over city, and risk, in time of war, from enemy attack. At a joint meeting with the Commission, the results of this study were com- municated to the Airport Commission and turned over to that body for further consideration. 5. Base Maps of City Two new base maps of the city have been prepared by the Planning Board. One is a map of the entire city at a scale of one inch equals one thousand feet, while the other is a map of the built-up portions of the city at a scale of one inch equals four hundred feet. The Planning Board recommends copies of these base maps as highly desirable for use by the public needing large workable maps. 6. Other Activities Other activities of the Planning Board include considera- tion of the proposed highway work program of the Board of Public Works, a study of the possibilities of taking a city census, consideration of the compilation of a city history, and the preparation of a police patrol map. Future Program Other matters vitally important to the future develop- ment of Concord and distinctly a part of the City Plan which will receive the attention of the Planning Board as PLANNING BOARD 159 soon as the staff can make the necessary preliminary surveys include the following: 1. A plan showing the best use of land in the city, includ- ing a recommendation of those areas which should be developed first in order to use to the fullest advantage the public improvements (such as streets, sewers, water mains, etc.) already existing, thereby conserving public funds. 2. Suggested changes in the zoning ordinance. 3. A comprehensive street plan indicating necessary changes in the street and transportation systems and parking opportunities to assist in the promotion of bet- ter land use, and further indicating what roads and streets might be abandoned or maintained in less expen- sive fashion without interfering with the economic use of land, and thereby reduce costs of providing public services. 4. A plan for the provision of recreational facilities and opportunities necessary to a healthy population. 5. Recommendations for the correction of those causes of tax delinquency associated with improper use of land. 6. Recommendations for a city policy with regard to tax exempt lands. 7. A plan for the acquisition of necessary public building sites and public lands in proper locations and in ad- vance of intensive land development thereby decreas- ing the cost to the city of such necessary land ac- quisitions. 8. A suggested program for the control of new subdivision of land in order to prevent premature and unnecessary city expenditures for streets and other public im- provements.
