"Amlit on Motion of Commissioners"
The Commission may cause an audit to be made

district or precincts, as often as once in two yeai's or
wlienever conditious appear to warrant audit.
This audit was made and the report of same will

On reconimeudation of the state officers, all town
the pi*ecinct, municipal court expense, library,
all other siuiilar expense bills were paid before
the closing of the books December 31, 1948, thus making
a double payment during tliis year which will not occur
again.
'The auditors also advised a change in the bookkeeping system and set up a donble-entry^ method, which
is an advantage, as records kept in the town hall will be
balanced at the close of each month instead of once a

REPORT OF THE FOREST FIKE WARDEN
Your
local ovgniiization to prevent and extingnisli
fires is glad to report a good year of
forest protection in 1048.
In si)ite of danger conditions
nearly equalling at times tliose of 11)47 wlien gre^it losses
were suffered in New Hanipsliire and New England, tire
damage and loss this year have been gratifyingly low.
Id-nsli

With the continuing cooperation of
we can hope to have another successful

Let us remend)er that in au}- year, over iM)'/ of all tires
are caused by carelessness and tliat all of tliese mancaused tires are ])revental)le.
Today, we have more slasli and uncut grassland
than for many years in the i)ast. Smokers, campers an<l
tourists who use our outdoors are also more numerous
than ever' before. A'^'e must therefore be ready for tires
which might occur but, above all, prevention b}' everyone
is
the greatest need.
A
will
few simple ])recautions taken by every

(1)
(2)
as follows
citizen
:
Always get a written permit from the warden before Icindling a tire outdoors when the
ground is not covered with snow.
If you smoke, always extinguish matches and
tobacco before dropping or tlirowing them
down. In autonnvbiles. always use the ash
trays.
(:>)
Report

The observance of these and other simple rules
will go far to insure safety from fire damage and youi*

HEALTH OFFK^ERVS REPORT
The importance of public health is best comprehended in tlie maxim
"A naticui is no stronger than the
health of its people". And, to the end that we be i)otent
in this strength, eyery community, group and individual
carries a patriotic, ciyic and personal resjionsibility.
Standards and enforcements are delegated to national,
state and community units.
That improyement in the local health i>i'ogram is
l»eing accomplished is a matter of record and cannot be
gainsaid. Except for sensility, death rates and the ravages of disease are being cut down. The better education and co-oi)erati(m of eveiw individual is largely responsible.
The people constittite the iiatrol for which,
:
in the smaller
communities, no public fiinds are provided.

The local records of the year 1948 sustain an element of good luck, alertness on the part of officials or
"what have yon". Also, they register better dissemination of education in the fundamentals
and resulting co-operation on the part
of public health
of the commonwealth of Farmington. It has been, and will be the
policy of your liealth officer to maintain and advance this
program with firmness, but to ai)proach all situations
and deal witli them in a spirit of friendlv co-operation.
(xeneral sanitation lias improved consistently in
face of odds imposed by local geography, which is
not conducive to ])roper drainage. It is up to tlie taxl)ayers, whether or not they want to contribute to mor-e
tilie
and modern methods of drainage and sewage
disposal, before Farmington can hope to be a standar<l
town in this respect. lender existing conditions, a
flood of complaints always will be lodged with the health
department during ground-saturation periods.

The selectmen are to be gratefully complimented
on securing property and re-locating tlie town diuup.
which has been approved as one of the best in this section of the state.
This year local and state effort-s have been sharpto standarization of the "White' Flood",
the most generally consumed article of
diet, for all ages, also is labeled "one of the greatest carriers".
Be it said in behalf of willing co-operation on
the part of producers, as per the December, 1948, inspections and January, 1949, follow-ups, there were no
sub-standard milk distributions in Farmington. This
also a])plied to allied dairy products.
A'\niile every eifort will be made to keep the foregoing items in the proper brackets, 1949 will record enforcement requirements for improved sanitation, ])urity,
preparation and presentation of all foods, or edible commodities, handled by stores and food dispensers. This
also, will include the regulated use of so-called "insecticides, either commercially or privately
prepared, together with maintenance of pro|>er toilets and lavatory
facilities, plumbing, etc., as applied to all places where
foods or food-commodities are handled or sold.
The health manuals prescribe so much that the
entire program is rarely found standard in any community'.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT
Your board
of .selectmen herewith subniit for
yonr
consideration the annual report.
Early in the year of 1949 the State Tax Commission sent a representative to Farmington to check the
vahiation the selectmen had assessed the property in
town. The representative made a thorough survey of
one-quarter of the assessed valuation. After his figures
were all computed in the Concord office, they found we
were only assessing property at the rate
true valuation, whereas the state wants
100%
as possible.
it
of
53%
of its
assessed as near
In accordance with the State Tax
Commission the true assessed valuation
of
Farmington
should be over four million dollars.
By an act of the state legislature the state aid appropriation to schools was cut drastically. Combining
the two above facts is the basic reason why Farmington,
as well as
many
other towns of the state, lost out.
Fariiiiugton's loss in the
amount
of
state aid
the schools was |16, 596.55, and our county tax was
to
in-
creased by 12,603.81.
These two increases were the cause of the higher
tax rate. If Farmington could have received the usiuil
state aid for the schools and countj,'^ tax remained the
same, the 1949 tax rate would have been less than 1948.
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
Owing to the terriibly dry summer and the warm
December along with rains, the country roads have not
been in as good shape as in the past. It ^^^ll take plenty
of gravel this coming year to put them back in shape.
Many of the side streets in the village have had a coat of

more than in previous years, we know they have one of
the best tiling s^^stems of records in the state.
WELFARE DEPARTMENT
Business conditions during the past year have
caused our welfare account to be overdrawn. It is too
bad that more of the voters in town do not see this picture as we see it. This department takes more time,
thought and money than the public realizes. The visiting nurse has helped a great deal in this department.
We
would like, at this time, to thank all the

for the tax-
payers.

If this could be continued on a few miles of road each
year it would certainly be a great improvement and hel])
during the mud season. There has been more attention
given to cutting l»ushes along the highways than for
some
time.
POLICE DEPARTMENT
The
police department, with the extra
work and
responsibility because of the parking meters,
have given
their best efforts for the interest of the town.
WELFARE DEPARTMENT
The welfare department is one of the biggest responsibilities of the board of selectmen and the bookkeeper, and without the services of a bookkeeper it
would become necessary to have an overseer of the poor.
We feel sure we, and nuun- others, owe our thanks
for the cooperation and helpfulness of our ^'isiting
Nurse, Barl)ara Drew. Many a case of extra expense
has been saved from her services.
Mr. Donald Sweeney, probation oflicer, should be
given the credit due him for collecting money due the
town on court order. If it were not for his untiring efforts we would have overdrawn Town Poor and Sobliers'

HEALTH OFFICEK'S REPOKT
Aoain this year we are indebted to a kind Providence in making possible a favorable report. We have
been visited v.ith no epidemics wliich, in extremity, can
account for closing of schools, institutions, amusements,
loss of mianhours from employment and community unrest, with a consequent weakening of morale and public
security.
Better administration of health work, ever broadening in scope and responsil)ilities, with awareness, now
alerted to a patriotic dut}-. is reciuired of every citizen.
Those little microbes (bacterium) are among the
most potential weapons of our enemies. They are everywhere and their nurseries are the dark places where lack
T)ersonal habits and
are forever breeding them.

diseases, water and food pollutions and man}- other public enemies are the concern of the health officer and the

fore, public health is everybody's responsibility.
It is
in the headlines next to our nulitary preparedness.
There are no specific suggestions for the coming
ye^ir that are not embraced in the foregoing admonitions, yet we all are conscious of needed improvements
and extension of our sewerage and town drainage systems, which cannot be accomplished at any small figures
of sanitation, tilth, indifference to
intoleral:)le Y>remises
of exjiense.
Work
of the health officer is increasing with the
of the stiite. multiple investigations of complaints, weekly re]^ortings, keeping of records and general routine. This is l)eing carried at very
little additional expense to the town, above the small
fixed salai*}'".

Official cooperation of the selectmen, police and
departments, doctors, visiting and school nurse,
school teachers and the press is gratefully enjoyed and
hereby acknowledged by your health officer.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT
We, the selectmen of the town of Farmington,
herewith submit for your consideration the annual report.
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
This past year has been a very difficult one in this
department. Upon attempting to repair the Tappan
street bridge we found that not only the surface was in
bad condition but also the main timbers needed to be re-

Our T. R. A. money was expended on the Meetinghouse hill road and during this construction we found
one bridge in an unsafe condition. We replaced this

street were graded and tarred.
Other streets and roads were also tarred.
In 1052 the Watson Crossroad bridge will need
major repair. Possibly it should be replaced with new
construction. If so we may be able to secure state
bridge aid for this purpose.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOWN OF FARMINGTON,
N. H.
The state has increased the compact area of the
town by about one-half mile and this will have to be
maintained by the town. Much Avork will have to be
done on our country roads this coming year as they need
grading, ditches and more culverts.
POLICE DEPARTMENT
During December we were forced to appoint a
new

regular officers and four of the specials.

MISCELLANEOUS
Owing to the closing of the Meadeiiioro and Ten

third grade in the town hall. Owing to a previous vote

a special town meeting held on a later date it was voted
to permit the use of the lower part of the town hall for
school puri)oses until the new school is completed. This

In closing we promise to work for the best interests of the town to the best of our abilities.

ONLY YOU CAN TREVENT FOREST FIRES
New Hampshire faces a real forest fire problem
and challenge! To meet it successfully, New Hampshire
and your communitv^ needs your thoughtful and cooperative effort.
Continuously heavy lumbering operations following fhe hurricane has produced more than four billion
board feet of lumber. This lumber helped win World
War IT, meet post war needs and now the current requirements for the Korean military action. But it has
added nearly OOOjOOO acres of slash to our already sizable slash problem.
When you fail to use needed precautions while
burniug in or near woodlands
When 3^ou fail to secure the required permit from
your local forest fire warden before burning
When 3'-ou are careless in smoking near woodlands
"N^Tien you throw lighted cigars, cigarettes and
matches from vehicles moving along the highway
You are violating fundamental couimon sense and
may easily contribute to a substantial and costly fire.
Such conflagrations are possible because of the hundreds
of thousands of slash acres throughout the state!
Remember the fire you prevent might lie one
which coidd conceivably burn your property and harm
—
your community!

HEALTH OFFICER'S REPORT
Foreword:
Fimdamenlially, the health of a nais the most potential line of defense
all enemies.
Not nntil a comparatively few years have major efforts been made and
monies appropriated to bnild np organizations charged
to guard i)nblic health and to channel its importance for
better understanding to the individual.
It no longer is
necessary that a disease or condition become prevalent
to arouse public concern, for a better realization of individual responsibility and organization detects, alerts
and puts into operation the most effective methods for
control.
A backward glance at statistics, and to the
average adult his own obser-vation, proves that the ravages of the most contagious, infectious and viscious diseases are being cut down.

knowledge pertaining
to public health, in order that
every individual may assume his patriotic part in defense at all times.
That Farmington is a unit in such
organization, state and local, should lie a matter of pride
to eveiy citizen, as he definitel}^ is a member of such organization.
So, as we face the future of another year,
let us all carr-y responsibility for such membership.
Officials are only members who work for, and with, their
constituents.
Aside from an acknowleged epidemic of influenza,
which Farmington shared, as the malady swept the
countiy several months ago, but claimed no local fatalities, this community has been providently immune.
We
were charged with one case of polioniA^elitis last year.
However, this case developed while the patient was attending summer camp out of town; was treated at a
Manchester hospital and there was no local contact.
Of this dreadful disease, the "Communicable Disease Bulletin", published monthly in interests of the
work of health officers, physicians, hospitals and nurses,
in part has this to say:
"Experience with polio in New
Hampshire has revealed a tendency for the incidence of
this disease to increase in cycles of approximately three
�:
ANNUAL REPORT OP THE TOWN OF FARMINGTON,
N. H. 49
If this trend persists, tlie state may expect an
increase during the summer ot 1952", This possibility
suggests early vaccination of children before warm
weather, as this immunization is suspected of correlation in cases of polio paralysis.
Therefore, it is wise to
attend to vaccinations at once.

The general program
of
the
New Hampshire
Health Officer's Manual will be pursued as usual, for the
ensuing year, with such exceptions as the state may have
occasion to direct.
Your health officer takes this opportunity to
thank and acknowlege the sincere cooperation of physicians, school and visiting nurse,
superintendent of
schools, school board and teachers, as well as all departments of the town associated with the work of this office,
including the press and general public.
Following are the statistics for the year ending

SELECTMEN'S REPORT
We, the selectmen of the town of Farniington,
herewith submit for yonr consideration the annual report for 1952.
JIIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
The year 1952 came in like a lion and, we are glad
During the early months
to say, went out like a lamb.
of the year Farmington suffered, as did the rest of the
state, with some of the worst snow storms in years.
These storms were very exi)ensive to handle, not only the
direct cost of plowing and snow removal, but also they
were very costly on our road machinery. After the winter storms were over the plows had to be repaired and a
complete overhaul of our Oshkosh truck was required at
a cost of over |3,2O0.0O.
In jMarch heavy rains, with fast melting snow,
created bad flood conditions and many of the country
roads were washed out, making some im|)assable. This
called for emergency work and exti-a trucks were hired to
repair these roads. During the summer the extremely
dry conditions were hard on the dirt roads. The town
grader could not be used on these roads when they were
too dry and so they could not be kept in proper repair.
Much work will need l)e done in 1953 on our dirt roads,
vridening with the grader, the ditches maintained or new
ones dug where needed to ]»rotect the roads from water
damage and new culverts are needed in many locations.
This 3'ear, 1952, our T. R. A. money was used to
complete the gravel construction on the Meetinghouse
hill road to the Ten Kod road and another section of this
road was tarred. We also did some work on the Cardinal hill road, with T. K. A. money, cutting bushes, bulldozer work, two new culverts were placed and some
gravel was hauled to this road. In 1953 we would like
to com]>lete the tarring of the Meetinghouse hill road
and, if possible. com]>lete the gravel construction on the
Cardinal hill road (the big cost on this last road will be
a large culvert near the foot of the hill).

a new street built otf Meshould be tinished in 1953)
morial drive; Mt. Pleasant street, from Bunker to Glen,
was newly tarred, as was Crescent street. Otlier streets
were tarred to preserve them, one of the most important
being the Meaderboro road.
It was voted at the 1952 town meeting, and the
money appropriated, to build a new bridge over the
Cocheco river on the Watson crossroad. This was not
built in 1 952 0T\ing to the inability' to obtain the steel for
it.

number of children needing aid.
MISCELLANEOUS
During the summer a survey of tne Farmington
]runici]>al soveniment was made by the New Hampshire
Taxpayers' Federation udou the renues^ of tlie town manager committee. Also the New Hampshire board of unde-'writers made a reuort on the fire protection facilities

been adopted by the selectmen and more of them should
probably be put into aftect in the near future. Copies of
these reports are on file in the Selectmen's office for inb}^ any interested citizen.
The stale is consirnclini^. a new road to by-pass
the center of town, start" ng on Route 11 near the Wagon
Wheel Ranch and ending near the Farinington-New Durham town line on Route 11. This road will be located
spection
just to the norther]}^ side of the railroad right of way until it reaches High street and then it will begin to include part of High street and after crossing Central
street it will go through the woods and fields in
nearly a straight line to the junction of Route 11.
have secured the permission of the Boston & Maine to
make necessary changes in the under-pass (on the River
road) and the state has agreed to rebuild this section,
with pro])er grade and drainage so that there will be a
clear and unobstructed a]t])roach to the neAV highway.
This will eliminate a costly and dangerous condition at
this under-pass at no expense to the town.
We
Your selectmen request that each voter give careful stud}^ of the budget and the articles in the warrant,
before town uieeting, aud that, at the town meeting, as
many taxpayers as possil)le will attend and vote on each
article in such a manner as will be for the best interest
of the town.
On January 1, 195;>, our long term notes outstanding were •'i^20,0'00.00 as comi)ared with long term notes,
refunding notes and bonds outstanding Januarv 1, 1918,
Interest paid in 1952 was |()03.7(3, in 1917
of 159,000.00.
the interest paid was |1 ,220.50. We suggest that appropriations made in 195'3 be paid for by current taxation and, if this is done, our interest due on notes in
1953 will be |462.51.
You will notice that we have placed an index in
the back of this report so that any and all items in the
report may be easih' located.
We welcome all constructive suggestions on town
affairs and we -^ill continue to serve the to\Mi to the best
of our ability.

HEALTH OFFICER'S REPORT
The quotation
health of
its
people",
"A
:
is
a
nation is no stronger than the
good motto to keep In the mind
of evei-y citizen.
That progress in public health improvement is being made, is borue out b^^ statistics. Most noticeable
among these is the more general physical acceptability
of draftees and volnnteers for military service; and this
in spite of much higher standards of requirements since
World ^^^ar II. These facts reflect, not only the returns
from organization and monies ai)propriated, but the
more Avidespread acceptance of personal responsibility
which has been extended to the smaller eomnnmities. On
the aggregate, these areas fonn a potential part of
American institutions. IS^o thoughtful reader can deny
the Public Health Work ranks near the top among them.
It should be a matter of no little pride for Parmington to know that frequently it is pointed out for good
Avork, by the state departlnent, as of record.
Your
health officer takes no credit for this, except the fruits of
his efforts to obtain the friendly cooperation of all town
departnieuts, civic and fraternal organizations and every
citizen.
In
arise
no other department can more emergencies
alter rontine administration;
most patently
e]:>idemics, their causes, prevention and control.
The
incidence of polio, as predicted by the state department
for 1952, was tragically realized.
Pro\identialh% Parmington had only three reported cases.
To outliue, or promise, uiore Ihnn failhful administration, with friendly application of town and state
authorities, is a province no health officer should assume.
His office is recognized by tlie state as individual and,
from this source, as prescribed by manual, or special instruction, he is obligated to function.
to
This opportunity
is
accepted
to
make
acknowledgement and express sincere thanks and

ciation for the cooperation of physicians, the school and

the country roads, we endeavored to get tlie plows out as

the worst in many years and some roads were closed for
short periods of time. Many loads of gravel had to be
hauled to fill the washouts and also, as soon as possible,
gravel was hauled to the worst muddy sections to make
them passable. A check by the road agent and the selectmen was made of the worst conditions and during the
summer and fall many culverts were cleaned out. New
reinforced cement culverts have been placed where the
worst washouts occurred, some stone culverts were replaced with reinforced cement and others were repaired.
believe that Avith the new culverts, water damage will
be much less in future years. This program should be
contiuped. Due to a change in the state requirements
for the use of T. K. A. nu>ney, which permits the use of
this money on T. R. A. roads to install culverts, some of
these culverts were installed with this money. When
the time comes to spend T. R. A. money to surface these
roads more miles can be done as the culverts are already
in place.
The balance of the T. R. A. money was spent to
tar part of the 1952 construction and to continue the
construction on the Cardinal Hill road.

Also during 1953 a program of cutting brush on
of the country roads was commenoed and should be
continued in order to open these roads to the sun for
quicker drying and also to make them safer for travel.

Mount Vernon street was graded and tarred, the
Watson cross road, from South Main street to the Cocheco river was graded and tarred, and many of the previously tarred streets in town were given new coats of tar.
All new tarring that was done in 1953 should have a
second coat in 19.54. School street extension has not
been completed as 5^et, although more work was done on
this street, because of the installation of a new water
line from Church street to Orange street.
As this street
had to be dug up it was felt that a delay was necessary to
permit the road to settle. This street should be com])leted in 1951 with a good gravel base and tarred without too great an additional cost.
The Watson cross road bridge was damaged so

record to be proud of in this respect, as the last fatal automobile accident that occurred in Farmington was on

WELFARE DEPARTMENT
number of persons requiring
old age assistance remained about the same as in 1952,
those persons requiring help on the town poor account increased in number and also some of these cases were very
costly.
One person required over twentv^-five per cent of
the total amount appropriated. We have tried to help
all needy cases that ap])lied for aid, when they were our
responsibility, and in other cases we have helped them
secure aid if they were county cases. The number of
children needing aid by the town also remains about the
same as in 1952 and the}^ have been taken care of. The
visiting nurse, Mrs. Barbara Drew, has helped in many
ways to aid us in our welfare department.

some out of town newspapers, so that the public would be

One other item that we would like to mention at
this time is that Farmington is to have an Old Home day
celebration in August, 1954. The committees are already at work on this project so let's all cooperate with
them and make this a celebration to remember.
You will have a new board of selectmen in 1954
(at least in part) and if you will try to understand their
problems and help them iu any way you can. it will make
it ensier for them to serve you and it will be for the benefit of the town.

HEALTH OFFICER'S REPORT
For the past seven years the records
of this depart-
ment have been faithfully kept and annual reports submitted. The year, 1953, was one of angular aspects.
This is more or less true of other 3"ears of the record
However, to summarize: The year which closed
December 31, 1953. recorded more constructive improvement in standardizing state-prescribed public henlth requirements than were grossed for the total of all other
period.
record years. There remains
pleting the program.

�42
ANNUAL REPORT OP THE TOWN OP PARMINGTON,
N. H.
Your health officer does not assume full credit for
improvement-status, but does emphasize the result of a
detenninecl effort to inculcate and foster a spirit of cooperation on the part of every individual who has regard
for good citizenship.
The work of standardizing public
health requirements, in any community, cannot be done
hj a single individual, eKspecially, in an area where a part
time health officer functions, and more especially, where
there are no salary appropriations for limitless patrol effort.
It should be understood by all that, with the exception of two, maybe three, annual survevs, when the local health officer assists a state agent, the over-all health
picture of the sanitation of a comunit\' resolves itself into the situation where the health officer is held responsible only for abating any nuisance defined by the state and
sustained upon investigation. Therefore, in view of
such situation, public cooperation is the only answer to
a clean communit^^ and good health.
As for the angular aspects of 1958, the period
veered sharply to the left in res]ionsil)ility for the control of the
more viscious
tyiies of
communicable
diseases.
Cases of lack of personal and family responsibilities have
been observed. Xo individual, knowingly a cancer or
tuberculosis patient should spit on the street or in any
public place, or discard materials containing discharges
from the nose, mouth or rectal passage, or in any place
where the same may be unwittingly transmitted to persons or animals. The two diseases mentioned do not
come within the quarantinable classes and therefore such
patients may become pidilic contacts. Tliis year, with
no intention to punish, but to ])rotect the public, the law
against spitting in public places, or discarding discharge
materials unlawfully, will be enforced.
All other cases defined as public nuisances and,
process prescribed by the state for abating, is the obligation of your health officer and will be pursued.
In closing: Many official and philanthropic organizations now are regarded and are potential as public
health agencies, as well as the "Mercy and Emergency
Campaigns". To attempt enumeration might result in
some unhitentional omission, but to all of these: The
selectmen, fire, precinct and hichway departments, Fannington physicians, members of the school board and superintendent and, especially the school nurse, with whom
this office has many contacts, a generous press and the
general puldic, nn' gratitude for good cooperation.

them small. The Blue Job lookout and district chief are
most valuable additions to the fire control sj^stem and
with the radio coverage and tank truck set-up that we
have in this area, we believe our chances of keeping our
fires to a size that we can handle are much greater.
Also the people in our town are much more cooperative
than ever before and this is a big factor in the prevention
of fires.
We must all work together to keep the woodlands free from Are. Teamwork is what we must have
in order to make tire control and prevention a success.
Remember you and 3'ou and 3"0U must secure the
necessary permit from the warden before burning, not
throw lighted cigarettes, cigars or matches from vehicles
moving along the highways. Otherwise, 3"0U might contribute to a costly and damaging

STATEMENT BY THE SELECTMEN
We, the selectmen of the town of Farmington,
herewith submit for your consideration the annual re
port for 1954.
TAXATION
The basic problems
of achieving
equitable assess-
ments is one which, in the past 3'ear, has presented a
myriad of problems to your board. In the first instance
we have found that a long and active period ol years
since a thorough and Avell documented defensable assessment has been made has resulted in an accumulation of
inequities which we have been unable to completely reconcile with a just and fair assessment on mau}^ of the
property owners. Your board in the past year has made
every honest attem])t to create equal assessments through
discussion both amongst each other and with taxpayers.
Although we are not prepared to state that we have been
completely successful in
ou.r objective
we do
feel that the
end result of our etforts, using the methods of assessment
which were either at hand or practical, has contributed
in some small measure towards the goal of equalization.
Although there exists an honest difference of opinion
amongst the board as to the method or methods to be
utilized we all concur in the belief that a thorough reassessment of the town be made which would take into
account all taxable values involved. Although the tax
rate itself is set by the appropriations made at your
town, school and precinct meetings, the board feels that
it has a definite responsibility to so assess the town as to
prevent the imposition of a tax on any property owner
which would be in excess of his just share.
The higher tax rate itself is primarily a result of
necessai'y increased expenditures in the school department Avithout a corresponding increase in state aid, together with large losses in stock in trade tax income due
to a loss in the percentage of taxable industry in town.
The net result being that a larger proportion of town,
school and precinct expenditures must be borne by individual taxpayers thereby shifting an additional bur-

den on to the individual property owner. The answer to
this is, of course, to cooperate in everj^ fair manner Avith
attempts to mal^e our town attractive to those industries
which we now have as well as to those outside industries
which might, under proper conditions, inauguarate new
business in Farmington.
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
A
sequence of events imposed upon the town by
the elements of nature Avhich included one serious flood
and two havoc raising hurricanes resulted in a complete
revamping of higliwav maintenance plans for the vear,
1954.
Tlie board felt that rather than increase the burden on the already overtaxed property oAvners, in so far
as possible, money which was appropriated for regular
roixd maintenance be used to alleviate the emergency
conditions which arose during the year. As a result
much that should have been done and would have been

trouble spots which have existed and have lain dormant
as a result of the unusual conditions and intend to make
a concerted effort to remedy these conditions as soon as
]»ossible.
We invite suggestions relative to efficient and
economical operation of this department as well as all
others.

be suggested to the incoming board that in
recognition of the necessity of a thoroughly planned road
IH'ogram that more extensive wiitten records of plans
an(i procedures in the highway deiiartment be kept in
order that future boards mighl, as they desire, act to insure continuity of the program. This should serve the
double puri)ose of eliminating waste and inefficiency
while at the same time guaranteeing dollar value service
for the town based upon a plan designed to satisfactorily
serve all ai'eas within the limits of the allowed appropriaIt will
ticuis.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
The board, with the cooperation of the Chief of
Police and interested citizens, has rearranged tlie working schedule of the department in a manner which allows
coverage throughont the night where formerly a i>ortion
coverage.
While, of
of the night was without this
course, this does not give evei"y nook and cranny of the
community full police protection, it does serve to place a
man in the position of being immediately available in the
event that any need or emergency should arise.
CONCLUSION
Mention of other departments and other pertinent
data is excluded for the sake of brevit}^ and are for the
most part explained elsewhere in this report.
It is the feeling of this board that the most urgent
need in the office of selectmen is an improvement in both
long and short range planning in all of the tkiwn's business in order to effect maximum service to the townspeople based upon the lowest jpractical appropriations.
It is further urged that a more complete and adequate system of activity, files and records be instituted
in order that future boards might be able to resort to an
information basis for whatever decisions they might be
required to make.
The board is very pleased with the fairness and understanding with which the townspeople have treated
them in the past trying year and sincerely hoi>e that our
deliberations have resulted in benefits to our town.

AXXTTAL REPORT OF THE

OF FAR:\I1NGT0X, X. H. 45
STATE FORESTRY DEPARTMENT
To
the Selectmen
p]acli year there is a demand for a statement on
forest fires for pn])lication in the annnal town report.
It is believed they serve a good pnrpose in reminding
local citizens of the danger from snch fires and how they
can help to prevent them. The following is offered wifh
the respectful request for publication in your town report.
Sincerely,
^villia:m h. messeck,
state Forester.
FOREST FIRE PREVENTIOX

Carelessness
is
IS
E^^ERYBODY'S
resi>onsible for 97 per cent
of
all
our forest fires. This is a serious indictment of our inIn
terest in our own welfare and that of our neighbors.
many instances this carelessness results in the destruction, not of the careless one's own ])roperty, but of
too
someone not even known to him.
Thoughtlessly thrown lighted cigar-s, cigarettes
and matches from moving vehicles, by hikers, hunters and
fishermen the careless burning of debris during hazardcms ])eriods, high winds or in dangerous locations; imall a<ld up to
l»roperly extinguished camp f)r cook tires
the carelessness that means serious loss of jiroperty, disruption of industry and farm-work and unnecessary expenditures of town and state funds.
;
—
It points to the need of eliminating carelessness
as far as it concerns tire from our daih' life. The rules
are simple your cooperation is earnestly solicitea.
1.
Be careful with tire in or near woodlands.
2.
Be sure that all lighted material, cigars, cigis completely out before discardarettes and matches
it.
Use ash trays in autos.
8.
Secure the Tequired written i>ermission to
burn from your local forest lire warden when the ground
is not completely covered with snow.
4.
Insist that others be careful and comply with
b u rn ing requ i rem en ts
5.
Call the warden promptly when fire is detected
and aid him to extinguish it.

HEALTH OFFICER'S REPORT
Foreword
The town's fiscal year of accounting,
whicli closed December 31, 1954 ,makes the eighth con sec
ntive year of systematic recording and reporting of
health work in this community. These records s])eak for
:
themselves, but only in small part can they be submitted
Observation on the i)art of the taxpayers should
indicate if progress has 1)een made.
Such improvements
as l>etter sanitation, standardization of dairv products,
foods and food-handling, control of communicable diseases and public cooperation, perhaps are the most obvious, but there are various others.
While most of these
subjects must be administered according to state requirements, public cooperation is wlioUy a local relalion, to
be maintained and fostered by thehealth officer.

smallest appropriations in the annual
of the smaller
of the
budgets; the rest
from one
must be assumed gratuitously by public
spirit and good
citizenship.
Whenever, or wherever, the subject of support of public health comes up, no one should be ashamed
to stand up and be counted.
It is timely to infonn the community that our people are drinking and using for domestic purposes, some
of the best water supi)lied by an}- public source in the
state and that the milk and dairy products distributed
here are guarded by exacting state requirements. These
are the first sources investigated in case of liealtli epi-
demics.
Each year, usual]}' in A]u-il, as soon as slate and
municii)al refiuirements are made to concur, there is published in the local press, under the caption of
"( reneral
Order", a list of Avhat are regarded as
"Violations of
Standard Health Requirements". Your health officer
assumes res])onsibility for their enforcement, together
with such others as the state manual and his su])erioi-s
prescribe.
To tlie selectmen, police, fire and highway de])artments, Farmington physicians, superintendent, and members of the school board, school nurse, teachers the several local health agencies, Higgins' Tnicking which, in
lieu of municipal waste-collections, has equipped and is

At

meeting
of Tlie

investigate and study various methods used in the reassessment of to^^ns witli a view toward establisliing ..n
adequate and etjuitalde uietliod of property appraisal

In accorda.nce witli this vote. Moderator ("*. Aubrey King chose a committee consisting of the foUoAving
members: (Tcorge Roberts, Ronald Parroclc, El-ancis R.
Mooney, Edwar-d Mros, Jr., aud Eugene F. Nute.
Four meetings and an executive session were
held by the commitee. Tlie first meeting was organizational and set a course of proposed action. The second
meeting was with the selectmen of Farmington to ascertain present methods of asse;«'smen. Philip Weymouth
revealed that the selectmen use a ''blotter book" containing a list of all taxable properties in town, the an-

They stated that there are approximately lOOO
estate in Farinington, of Avhich 700 to
have buildings on them. In H)r)4 the selectmen made
a determined effort to vie^^• each parcel with buildings
and an agreed market value was assessed. At tlie request of the State Tax Conunission this value was re»duced by 50 per cent as Ihe tax valuation of the prol)erty. (leuerally speaking, this view was au external

of the obsolete format of the inventories they did not
reveal information of value other than stock and trade
tax information.

The third meeting was with John

from
is
frilmfln, select-
who
discussed the reassessment
and
made
its effectiveness.
at
The reassessment was mainly done by one stfite
appraiser with the hel]> of the selectmen. It took about
five months and cost |1(>(M).(H). The appraiser established
a card system using all the data obtained with one card
for each individual i)iece of ])roi»erty and sent the card
system th the town.. It is revised and kept up to dat/s
yearly.
Total
valuations of taxal)le i)ro])erty before the
were $1,750,000. ami after the assessment
were |2,5t)0,000. The tax rate fell from |55.00 per thousand to -iftl.OO per thousand. Mr. (lilman thought the
rel-a])v>raisal sh>()uld be done every ten years ;is good
assesf-tnu^nt
business i)ractice.
Chamller, ch:nrman of the N. H. Tax
jMr. Leduc, a state appraiser, attended
the fourth meeting and described the state re-assessment
procedure. Iletween 20 and :>'0 New Hami)shire towns

per parcel of imitrovcd real estate wliich would cost
Faruiington ai)proxiinately |;{2O0.(>0 to reassess its estimated 800 parcels.
At the conclusion of the meetings, a private apcompany was contacted. Its methods were simi-
praisal
to those used bv the state. It estimated Ihat the
cost would not exceed f9000.(>0 to re-assess Farmington.
liiar
FIXDIXdS:
The committee feels that the method of re-assessas conducted by the X. H. Tax Gbmission is very
effective and is least exiiensive of the methods studied,
assuming that an outside agency had to be engaged to
ment
make
a
re-ai)}>rais;il.
The committee
have
virtual]^'
made
feels that the selectmen, in 1954,
a re-assessment of the town in the
course of their extremely thorough annual ai)praisal
with the result that the appraisal values of real estate,
with some possible few exceptions, are uniform and
eipiitable and rei)i'esent approximately 50 i)er cent of
present market, values.
It feels that a re-assessment would not be of material hel]) to the town at the present time in view of
the vigorous action by the selectmen. The committee
feels that information of considerable value could be
obtained by revising the inventory blanks with a system of check squares to indicate the presence of bathrooms, central heating, insulation, tv'pe rooting, type
siding and other ]»ertinent inforlmation pertaining to
residence and business pioperty to help set an equitable
assessment. Based on this information, the ]>resent card
system could be exi)anded and kept timely for successive boards of selectuuMi.

HEALTH OFFICER'S REPORT
December
31,
1956
Most potential factor in the success of Public
Work in any community is the cooperation of
Health
people. Therefore, it is with much satisfaction this
department acknowledges this spirit in Farrnington.
With the everchanging policies of administering
its
the policy of attaining adin the public health field, through cooperation, will continue one of the cardinal efforts of
this department and your health officer.
standard requirements,
vancements
By
reason of expected change in programs that
this and. probably, state-wide area, very
little can be raid about what they will do, or how
they will be administered by municipal jurisdictions.
However, the requirements of the state Public Health
Manual, as previously enacted into laws, will form
the structure of the work. It is with the responsibility of enforcing such requirements that your health
officer is charged.
Nineteen Hundred Fifty-six was a year of steady
enlargement of detail, with incidental additional work
absorbed in the salary of your health officer. Had
epidemics developed and, especially the incidence of
will affect
polio been present, expense of operating, which was
slightly under that of 1955, would have appeared in
your town report.
On the subjects of epidemics, especially, polio,
there should be no apathy, as this dread disease is not
licked in spite of control manifested from innoculation
with the Wonderful Salk Vaccine. The state department goes on record in endorsing it and urges all age
groups to accept public facilities and those of their
physicians.
Public Health Nurse Rose H. Behan reports that Farrnington had three (3) clinics in 1956
and, that 1134 persons in age groups under one to
twenty years and expectant mothers received first and
second injections of the Salk Vaccine. Among these
were residents of Milton, Middleton and New Durham.
In concluding this foreword, my sincere thanks to
citizen, Farrnington physicians, members of the

STATEMENT BY SELECTMEN
We,
tlie ir^eleetiiien
of the
town of Farmington, here-
with submit our annual re])ort for the year 1057 for your
consideration.
HIGHWAY nEPARTMEXT
We have completed the Chestnut Hill Eoad project
under our TRA program. We feel that by having a specitic
l)rogram or plan for using the money available from TRA
appropriations, together with the appropriation for summer maintenance, we can consistently improve our highways.. Rather than slvip around each year, patching and
repairing, we set up a three year plan. The completion of
the Chestnut Hill Road, and the tarring of the streets in
tlie town proper, one third-section each year, has proven
the value of this system for the maintenance and improvements of our roads. It is the intention and plans of this
Hoard to start on a second three-year plan, using the TRA
funds in another section of the town.
You
will find
rant that
under Article 10 and 11
we are asking the town
a new grader. Tliis is
of the
town war-

a much needed piece of
used both in the winter for plowing
snow, and in the summer for the grading of our highways.
Our ]iresent grader, because of its age and constant use in
men
to
buy
equii)ment as
it is
the past years
is in
need of a
lot of repair to
keep
it
in
op-
eration. It has also been proven by the expenditures of this
department that the cost of re])airing our other pieces of

complaints ai^ainst this department.
We feel quite certain that the project on the Coclieco
Riyer (Lower end) will be completed this year, also that
the engineering of the sevrer disposal plant will be comjdeted at no cost to the town, thereby laying the gronndAyork for this
much needed
nnit.
We are also ha]>])y to state that the to^^'n hall has
been restored since the fire of a year ago and that we
were able to make repairs and imy)royements in other
parts of the bnilding from the amount received from the
insurance setthnnent.
:\IISCELLANE()rS
Without elaborating on these and other subjects to
any great length, we conclude by stating that we have
tried to keep within our budget. And in the coming year,
even with new equipment for the highway department, our
budget will not increase more than a few hundred dollars.
It has been our aim to keep the town budget at the same
level in order not to increase the tax rate, and at the same
Jim<e
improve our several departments.

of <7 0od Will, without selfish ambition, rather than persecution, prosecution and discriminations. In following
this policy, he has the support and endorsement of the
state department, with constant recourse to its research,
training and advices and pledges continuance under its

:
Keeently, the De])artnient of Education issued a

A team of representatives from the Department of
Kducation will visit your school and evaluate its program and facilities. These visits have a double purpose:
first, to ma,ke clear to the superintendent of schools, and
through him to the school board and the community, iust
what steps must be taken before September of 1958 if the
high school is to be approved during the school year
1958-1959; second, to ])oint out those aspects of the school
plant and program which are in urgent need of attention
iiioi-r tlicnh
if the school is to 'oe somethiufi sul)stauti(i]J}j
)niiiii}iiMn scliool. Results of the evaluation will be re(I
leased to the ])ress as soon as they are made available.
Curriculum wise, I feel confident that your high
school will meet the minimum standards. However, based
on tlie evaluation of other schools in this area, it is rea-*
sonable to assume that many recommendations will be
made on the physical facilities, such as; lack of a school
library, auditorium, health program, physical education,
guidance, school lunch, and the fine arts.
TI eref ore, everj- voter is urged to read and study the
comprehensive brochure proposing a Cooperative School
District for grades 9-12 as the best solution for Farmington, Middleton and Milton. A study of a proposed plan on
the local level will be released simultaneous with the
Cooi)erative School District i>roposal. The impact of our
high school i)opulation is here. The oyitimum enrollment
impact will be in 1902. Time to make plans is NOW.

A jjliYsical c-hange in the school phmt thivS year was
the addition of an antoniatic bell ringing device. In years
past the hells were rung maiinally and many times office
girls or principal would lose track of time and the
periods would be of different length from day to day.
With the new system, periods are of equal duration eacJi
day and the uniformity is good for the well being of the
school.
At the opening of school in September we had 166

The stock room has been used extensively this year
for music instruction. All instrumental teaching is done
there and when no piano is available, entire class-es
are taken there for vocal instruction. Through the generosity of Mr. Parkhurst, ilr. Prescott, Mr. George, Mr.
Eaton, and the town of Middleton, five pianos have been
given to the schools. These were moved b}' some of the
Higb School boys and in Mr. Harvey Morphy's truck.
During the summer two classrooms and six I>ulletin
boards were repainted. Tliirty-five feet of tar were added
to the playground extending the covered area farther
out toward the edges. ITp to now about two-thirds of the
jdayground lias been tarred, and it is hoped that the rest
will be completed in 1958. It is surprising the amount of
wear and tear this saves on the floors and the footwear of
the children.
Two

and two basketball Itackboards
with rings were added to the playground.
The intense interest which Mr. Densniore has in the

PHYSICAL EDUCATIOX
A program of ])hysical education has been in etfect at
Glen Street school. The first half year activities inchided
calisthenics, marching relays, and games. Fundamentals
in basketball, volleyball, softball, and soccer were tanght.
Following the Ciristmas holidays, the classes used the
Town Hall Avhile the weather conditions were poor.
This program helps to develop the child physically
and socially. The pupil is never too young to learn good
sportsmanship and fair play.
INSTRUMENTAL PROGRAM
This ])rogram has grown from ten pupils in September to a lu'esent thirtA^-three. Former members of the
Farmington Town Baud contributed several instruments
to our schools and tl:ese have all been loaned and are in
constant use. The best part of this program is that all
(but one) instrumentalists are elementary children so it
should be possible that in the 3^ears ahead Farmington
should have a good band and orchestra. Mrs. Bassett
continues with lis as the instructor and is doing a fine job.

TESTING
During Januaiw and February the California Mental
Tests were administered to Grades 2, 4, 5, 6, 7. Grade 3
was tested last year. Because one mental test does not
give a true picture of tie child's ability, these should be
given every two years and then a reasonable estimation
of the child's ability is obtained. The teacher with this
kuowledge is better able to determine whether a child is
woi'kiug to capacity' or not.
Besides tlie mental test, the Stanford Achievement
Tests were given to all classes. Given at the end of the
half year, a teacher can stop and take "count of stock".
