�BEULAH THAYER
DEDICATION OF the ANNUAL REPORT
Beulah Louise Perkins was born on May 4
1912, in West
NH. Her parents Benjamin Perkins and Winifred Crocker
had come to Alton from Rochester early in their married life, and
,

Alton,

Beulah was their middle child, with an older brother Frederick
and a younger brother Benjamin. She lived in Alton through her
childhood, attending local schools and graduating from Alton
High School in 1930. She then traveled to Keene, NH to attend

Keene Normal School, studying to become a teacher. After her
graduation from Keene in 1932, she taught grades 1-12 in a oneroom schoolhouse in Bedford, NH.

As

Beulah played the piano, as a
dance at The
Pavilion in Alton Bay, chaperoned by her parents. There she met
James Thayer from Farmington, who was the band's saxophone
player. Their romance blossomed over the next five years and
they were married in June, 1934. Although Beulah wanted to

year-old,

continue her teaching career, local regulations would not allow a married

woman

to teach in the

public schools, so she gave of her time and energy, while raising three children, Sylvia, James

Jr.

and Richard, to many community projects and organizations.

She served as a Girl Scout Leader, a member of the Farmington Motor Corps during World
a member and President of The Women's Fellowship of the First Congregational Church,
a Warden of that church, a member and President of the Farmington Women's Club, a member
and President of the Farmington Historical Society, a member of the Farmington School Board,

War II,

and she was active as well in the local and national DAR, in the Frisbee Memorial Hospital
Auxiliary and a volunteer for many years in the hospital snack bar. She also served as a Trustee
to the Goodwin Library and as a member of the Board of Advisors to The Farmington
Preservation Guild.

Beulah and Jim Thayer supported their strong belief in education with a substantial gift to the
town of Farmington to help build the new high school in 1995. They were both gratified to see
that school completed and occupied before Jim's death in 1997. And now Beulah, from that
same belief in education and her devotion to Farmington for over 70 years, has given the town
the gift of the renovation of the old Town Hall, which will bring it back to its 'former glory'
while allowing the many activities for all ages to continue to take place within its walls. The
restoration will create more welcoming and appropriate space for concerts, art and artisan
exhibits, theatrical performances, movies and video presentations, while allowing the
continuation of the children's after-school and
activities,

�FARMINGTON BOARD OF SELECTMEN
CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
2005
The year 2005 was one of many challenges for
Selectmen. Herein are some of the highlights of the

the

Town

of Farmington Board of

past year.

Personnel
Several changes were made to key positions within the ranks of our municipal
employees.
Most significantly, Town Administrator Ernie Creveling resigned and in
August R. Paul Weston was hired as his replacement. Mr. Weston, an experienced Town
Administrator

who most

recently served the

Town

of Holderness,

NH,

for eight years,

has a Master's Degree in Public Administration. With regret the Selectmen accepted the
resignation of long term Parks and Recreation Director Kerry Mucher, and subsequently

promoted Kimberly Brackett as her replacement. During 2005 Highway Agent Clark
Hackett resigned after 26 years of service. The duties of the position were upgraded to
include roads, bridges, and landfill duties, and Joel Moulton was hired as our new Public
Works Director. I want to thank all of our employees, veteran and new, for their fine
efforts daily to serve the citizens

and

visitors to the

Town

of Farmington.

During the year we continued to work on the update of the Town's Master Plan, and hope
to see an end product sometime in 2006, as we look to plan appropriately and thoroughly
for the Town's fiiture needs. Along these same lines, the Board of Selectmen negotiated a

new

contract with Wright-Pierce Engineering to provide engineering consultant advice

for the long term needs of the

years old.

We expect in the near future a comprehensive upgrade of the plant will have to

be done. Discharge to the land instead of the Cocheco River will be a priority as
to further enhance our local and downriver environment.

in the year the Board of Selectmen voted to accept a generous offer from Ms.
Beulah Thayer to renovate the Town Hall/Opera House. These private dollars will greatly
enhance and reinvigorate this grand old building - all new interior lighting, stage
lighting, sound system, painting, seating on the main floor, reuse of the balcony seating,
and many more smaller improvements are underway as this is written. If the voter's
approve life safety code improvements at the 2006 Town Meeting by reallocating
previously raised funds, the Town Hall will become fully compliant with code
requirements and we will enjoy the benefits of this wonderful project for decades to
come. On behalf of the Board of Selectmen and the citizens of Farmington, I wish to

Late

thank again Ms. Thayer for her vision, her perseverance, and her generosity.

As we approached

the Municipal Budget this year, the

Board of Selectmen carefully

reviewed available capital reserve accounts and fund balances in an effort to hold steady
the tax rate. We have proposed many needed purchases and projects which will need
voter support

if

we

are to

move forward

next year.

want the thank my fellow Selectmen for their support and suggestion. Finally, I

Serving the seniors of our community continues to be a growing part of our

programming.

We were

able to purchase a used 14-passenger mini bus to be used in part for

many of New England's attractions this year, going
on 2-3 trips per month. Bingo continues to draw a large crowd as well as our monthly senior
meal where we serve over 100 people. Again this year we held theme parties, including a

result of much effort from local businesses and joint cooperation from the police and

efficient and consistent service to residents and others seeking assistance. With a full-time Building
Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer the Department is able to process permit applications, inspection
requests and investigate complaints within 24 hours of receiving the request.

The Zoning Board of Adjustment, also appointed by the Board of Selectmen, hears appeals of
administrative decisions of the Zoning Administrator/Code Enforcement Officer, considers variances to
the Zoning Ordinance, and decides on applications for Special Exception where allowed by the Zoning
Ordinance. In all cases, the ZBA acts in a quasi-judicial capacity, ruling on the merits of each case
coming before it to ensure that the zoning ordinance is applied fairly and equitably to all property and
property owners. In 2005 the ZBA heard 14 requests for variance, granted 3 re-hearings where an
application was denied, and denied 3 requests for re-hearing. The ZBA also considered three
applications for Special Exception, granting one and denying two, and heard one appeal from a decision
made by the Zoning Administrator/Code Enforcement Officer.

2005

ANNUAL REPORT

The Farmington Police Department continued to make strides forward in 2005.
During this year the Department took steps to improve identified areas for improvement.
Often equipment was, or will be, purchased or updated at little or no cost to the taxpayers
through State and Federal grants. We were able to continue popular programs and started
or expanded other programs.

downtown. David Drapeau was hired to fill this position and has been working
weekdays during the afternoon and Saturday mornings. I have noticed, and numerous

which says: "Whenever a person in any town is poor and unable to support himself, he

shall be relieved and maintained by the overseers ofpublic welfare of such town
welfare program follows the Town of Farmington Welfare Guidelines, which are drawn
from the Model Guidelines written by the New Hampshire Municipal Association in
conjunction with the New Hampshire Welfare Administrators Association, and adopted
by the Board of Selectmen.
...

The year 2005 in welfare administration has been a busy one. As acting Welfare Director
since March of 2005, I have come to see the strong need for welfare assistance in
Farmington and a steady increase in demand. It is predicted that the need will increase
due to many factors, including the rising cost of fuel and basic living expenses. Although
my primary responsibility is to act as Municipal Secretary, on many days welfare
administration becomes the main focus. In September, Walter Mills was hired as
Assistant Welfare Director for 3 evenings a week to interview applicants and assist with
case management. We hope to establish a 30-hour a week Welfare Director position in
2006.

was a majority vote of the Board of Selectmen to pursue an
set of standards. There was some discussion on the
definition of a town official. George Meyer asked if it mirrors the state's RSA and asked if it has
been subject to legal review. Ernest Creveling said that it was looked at by town council and they
expressed one issue with it. That issue was that there wasn't a way for an official to be removed
if they did violate it. There was much discussion of appointed vs. elected official. Jacqueline
Capello stated that the document itself refers only to employees and appointed officials and she
asked that Brad accept as a fi^iendly amendment the addition of elected officials. This was

of a tax abatizmgnt rszqugst by the same, an accounting malfunction on the school side,
contributed to an inordinate delay in getting out taxes, in turn requiring the Town to take

out of a Tax fintieipation Note (TfIN) for the first time in recent memory; an ice storm of
historic proportions; a winter season breaking all time snowfall records.

Through this the entire Town came through. We managed to maintain services, to keep
our costs under control, and to come in under budget; for the second year in a row the
citizens of farmington have been able to realize a decrease in their property taxes.
©espite the negative news we have been able to keep moving forward, fl water line was
run into the Opera House for the purpose of providing adequate water flow for fire
suppression. Within the month of february bids will be received and accepted for the
long delayed installation of a sprinkler system at the Opera House. We anticipate by the
beginning of summer that the system will be up and running thereby no longer
necessitating a fire ©ept standby for public events.
Likewise, to those of you that have been recently suffering thru a chilly Opera
tlouse/Town Hall, that problem has also been addressed. The main steam boiler was
found to be rotted out and has been recently replaced, fls a result of the new boiler
coming on line it was also discovered that there were numerous breaks in one of the
steam pipes running under the concrete floor. That piping was rerouted and the new
boiler is happily perking along and easily maintaining a comfortable temperature in that
beautiful facility.
facility to be mentioning is the old Collins &amp; fiikmann building and
warehouse. Presently owned by the litate and under the direction of a Trustee, that
property is being aggressively marketed by the litate economic development team. am
pleased to report that there have been and continue to be some legitimate interested
parties that could bring some revitalization to the plant as well as some much needed jobs
to this immediate area. a)tay tuned for details but
have been informed that the §tate is
planning a meeting with an interested buyer in order to sell them on this property.

both Thi2 Land Conservation plan for Hti Coastal Watershed (Coastal plan) and Ntl
fish and Same's Wildlife fiction plan (Wflp). The analysis conducted in the Coastal plan
in

determined that parts of this area contain high value forest ecosystems, as well as habitat
that may support rare plants and/or exemplary natural communities. The Wflp considers
the entire southwest border of the Town as having significant clusters of high ranked
habitat, fl composite map of the Town was developed to reflect our conservation goals.

The conservation commission is funded by the current use tax. The current use tax is the
tax applied to land when it is taken out of current use. The idea is when land is developed;
monies can be put toward other land to be conserved. When there is a decrease in
building and sales of lands, as in 2008, there are fewer funds to spend. Instead of
purchasing large parcels of land as in the past, the conservation commission has focused
on conservation easements and land donations, fl conservation easement is a legal
agreement between a landowner and a conservation or governmental organization that
permanently limits the uses of the land in order to protect its conservation values. In
2008, we have worked with local organizations like Moose Mountains "Regional
Sreenways and Strafford "Rivers Conservancy, as well as land owners to help put
hundreds of acres in conservation by assisting with the costs of necessary surveys and
other legal fees associated with easements and land donations.

The Conservation Commission continues to seek new members. We currently meet on the
second Wednesday of each month at 6 pm. The public is welcome

the business park.

Survey done with meets and bounds of the Sarah Greenfield Business park. Through
the collection process for the Marketing plan, the Q'i&gt;C discovered that there was no
survey on record that showed where meets and bounds had been recorded nor had all
the lots been properly pinned, figain the Board of Selectmen was approached and
permission was granted to have this done.
Materials on and around the §arah Greenfield property: While strategizing, the
Committee heard there was a wealth of gravel related material on and around the
business park, part of a good economic strategy is cost avoidance, finything you
already have that has value is like money in the bank. With the Selectmen's approval,
the efC asked highway director, Joel Moulton, to dig several test pits to log what type
and quantity of gravel material was located in this area. We are waiting for the site
survey to be finished so we can calculate the value of the material Farmington eould
possess by not having to purchase gravel for the projects that the Town needs to
complete.
fleeess l^oad at §arah Greenfield: By collecting the data for the Marketing plan,
having the boundary survey and discovering the value of the gravel material located

on and around the park, another step was taken to secure the Town's interests. We
asked to have an access road placed between two of the remaining parcels in the
business park. This allows the Town access to the gravel material out back, increased
the value for the two parcels it divides and could potentially serve as a through road
to Route n after the gravel has been mined, t^ win/win situation all around!
What to do about business? The Q't)C focused on the broad strokes this year, first
was the ©owntown Survey. This survey was created to seek input into issues affecting
downtown and what events, improvement programs and/or grants are needed to
maintain this area as a vital part of farmington. We employed the help of the planner
and the ©owntown Committee to complete this task. Thank you to those businesses
that participated in the survey The input was analyzed and compiled for future
discussion of the economic "Development Committee, t^ m&lt;^mo was sent to the Board
of Selectmen with the results and several proposed courses of action that the Qf&gt;C
agreed were vital, follow up will come this year.

The 2005 Master plan was completed and adopted at Town Meeting in March of 2008. The
Master plan identifies long-term goals and policies for the planning Board and town
officials to follow in directing growth and development in the town.
The planning Board also reviewed economic factors for growth and development, updated
the Town's Fee Schedule, amended the Town's Site plan "Regulations regarding sidewalks,
analyzed ways to streamline aspects of the permitting process, and completed draft
language of 12 Zoning Ordinance flmendments, with associated revisions to the Town's
Zoning Map, for consideration at Town Meeting. The Board believes that these measures will
help to make farmington more competitive in these challenging economic times, and
simultaneously help to ensure the quality of development is kept to the highest levels while
preserving the Town's unique character.

Motor VizhielfZ registrations continued to ris(2 in spite of the slow economy from
2007 to 1912,552.74 in 2008. We have teamed up with PayGov, a third party
vendor, and are putting the finishing touches on the credit card collection piece and should be
collecting by credit card, both over the counter and on-line by mid-february. This is being
accomplished with no cost to the taxpayer through a user fee to the customer. We are also
starting to collect motor vehicle fe^s by the "one-eheck" method beginning february 13, 2009.
What this means is that we will be collecting both the town and state fees with one check, credit
card, debit card or cash transaction, you will no longer have to have 2 cheeks and can make
one debit or credit card transaction, thus pay only one user fee. Our next goal is to join the
state's compass initiative to allow for on-line automobile renewals to allow the customer to do
their renewal transactions in the comfort of their own home at their convenience. The state is
not currently accepting new towns/cities onto compass, but we are waiting our place in line to
tax bills.

To see if the Town will vote to establish a new Capital Reserve fund under the provisions of 'RI)fJ 35:1 for
the purpose of meeting the Towns financial obligations (accrued leave time, sick leave, longevity) should
a long term employee quit or retire, and to raise and appropriate §20,000 to be placed in this fund, and
to appoint the Board of Selectmen as agents to expend. The Selectmen and Budget Committee
recommend this appropriation. (Majority vote required) (This article has a tax ratiz impact of 4 cents).
Mike Morin made a motion to approve, seconded by penny Morin. Brian §t. Onge asked what the
average cost for an employee leaving comes out to. Tony explained that it is a variable depending on
the longevity and accrued/used vacation time. If a short term employee who is conscientious about not
using their time it might be 1)1500-3000. It was explained that we currently have 3 long time employees
who have accrued a lot o\ time and there has been no provision in past budgets to compensate if
someone leaves. Much discussion ensued as to accrual under the old/new policies. When asked what it
would cost to fully fund the current 3 long time employees, Tony estimated between $50,000-$60,000.
§teven ©urranee made a motion for this to be changed to be withdrawn from the undesignated fund
balance, seconded by ©ebra Cantwell. Serry McCarthy said that the state recommends between 8-17%
fund balance for emergencies. The town is trying to get to 12% and maintain it at that level- flnything
over that will go back to reduce the tax rate. Mike Morin felt that, under general budget law, you have to
name where it is to come from. The amendment was opposed from a show of cards vote. Stephen tlenry
made a motion to add " to come from general taxation", seconded by Tracy Cameron. This amendment
was approved by a show of cards vote, fred pitman made a motion to amend that anything left over this
year up to $60,000 in excesses from the personnel budget be placed into this fund. This was duly
seconded. Stephen tlenry asked if he meant including this year $20,000 plus up to when that fund
reaches §60,000. It is What fred intended it to mean. Charlie King asked for clarification as to whether
we would be bringing forth a warrant article every year to add it in. It was felt that something would
have to be added yearly. It was felt that you could have a surplus on the personnel line, but you need
some of it to cover other lines which were overspent. This was accepted as a friendly amendment by
both motioners. Tracy Cameron made a motion to call the question, duly seconded and approved by a
show of cards vote. It was clarified that the Selectmen would be required to bring a yearly article

Cindy Snowden, petitioner, stated the reasons for the petition,
approve, seconded by ©eb Cantwell. Charlie King answered Jacqueline Capellos's question on why this
is being brought to town meeting by saying that the only way a road can be adopted is at town meeting.
It is planning board policy to require that all roads require a homeowner's association until accepted at
town meeting. There is no other mechanism in place for the town to accept the roads. Much discussion
ensued concerning the town standards and questions on other private roads were answered. It was felt
that it should be a priority to invite all road associations in and have a discussion about the road
acceptance plan. Part of the acceptance under the plan would require a 5 year maintenance bond which

would ensure that any immediate problems would be taken care of without raising taxes. I&gt;teve ©ean

�DEDICATION

EDNA PARSHLEY

TRUDY PENCE

This year's

Town Report

is

dedicated to former Welfare Officer, Trudy Pence

and former Deputy Town Clerk/Tax Collector, Edna Parshley.
Trudy Pence served as our Welfare Officer from March 1 5, 1 983 until her death
on July 26, 1992. She was employed by the Community Action Program from
1968-1 980. She served as the Truant Officer for the school from 1 973-1 979. As a
member of the Governors' Council on Aging from 1979-1980, Trudy was involved
in the Central Block Housing Project on Central Street. She also worked with
Christopher Kenyon on the paperwork for the refurbising of the downstairs area
for the Senior Citizens' Center. She also coordinated the Meals-On-Wheels program in Farmington from 1981 to her death. Trudy spent much of her life working
with the disadvantaged and the elderly. She will be sadly missed by those whose
lives she touched.

Edna Parshley served as Deputy Town Clerk under Mickey Jones from
1977-1978. She then served as Deputy Town Clerk/Tax Collector under Kathy
Vickers from March 1979 - January 29, 1993. Her many years of experience

made her an invaluable source of information for the town. She was a pleasure to
work with and will be greatly missed by her co-workers as well as those she has
served.

�REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
1992 saw the completion of wells 3 and 4 after years of negotiation. It also
marked the beginning of another long term project, the closure of the landfill. The
Board of Selectmen began studies related to the eventual closure of the landfill.
While there is adequate space for more rubbish, the EPA and other regulatory
agencies are adopting stricter rules that will force the landfill to close shortly. The
high cost of closure is reflected in two alternatives which the Board of Selectmen

Accounting Standards require owners of landfills to
budget the closure as an operating expense. The Town participated in a Hazardous Household Waste Collection day. High prices for scrap metal enabled the

The Town was saddened by the death of long time welfare director, Trudy
Pence. Bruce Pence was promoted to welfare director and has continued Trudy's
example of service to the elderly and needy. Mrs. Edna Parshley, after 16 years
as the deputy Town Clerk/Tax Collector, announced her retirement for January
1993. Her vast knowledge of the Town will be sorely missed in the Town Hall. Linda Ghareeb, the Town's Recreation director, left. Judy Brownell, a member of the
Parks and Recreation Commission, filled in very capably until Kerry Griffin was
hired. Kerry has brought new ideas and has put new direction into our community
recreation program. Gwen Bernard, a police secretary, moved to Florida and was
replaced by Roxanne Pageau. Following the retirement of Sergeant Walter
Brown, Scott Roberge was promoted to Sergeant. Mr. Kevin Willey was hired as

a

new patrolman.

The Town's application for a $350,000 CDBG grant scored highest in the State.
The grant was written by John Scruton and the director of the Housing Partnership, Anne Meadows. It is being administrated by Pam Merril, CDBG director, and
Don Gilbert, CDBG rehabilitation specialist. While there was such enthusiasm for
applying for a grant to construct a Day Care Center in 1993, the Board wanted to
be sure that first it could be self-supporting without requiring municipal funds.

given freely of their time to serve on committees and boards for the Town. These
efforts have been a tremendous boost to the community, and we thank them for

FARMINGTON POLICE DEPARTMENT
1992 ANNUAL REPORT
The Police Department has continued to maintain services to the public,
in updating equipment and keep up its commitment to hiring and
keeping quality personnel. Due to the retirement of Walter Brown and injury to
other officers, the department was short handed to the equivalent of two officers
for most of the year. In addition, with Off. Roberge conducting the D.A.R.E.
program there was a strain with the on street coverage requiring other officers to

A promotional process was conducted during the year and Officer Scott

During the year the department received a grant for DWI enforcement based
upon a grant application prepared by Officer David Hall. In addition, Officer Randy Sobel prepared a grant application for a new radar unit which will be submitted
to the State for their consideration. Officers also gave presentations to the Farmington National Bank, Farmington/Milton Headstart Program, driver education
and to the FED-UP organization.

��WATER DEPARTMENT
ANNUAL TOWN REPORT

1992

A new pump station and two gravel packed wells were completed and started
up supplying a better quality of water to all customers. The water is continually
being treated for corrosion control, principally lead and copper reductions, and
can be chlorinated if the need arises. Approximately 81 ,000,000 gallons of water
were pumped at an average of 222,000 gallons per day. We have started an
evaluation process to determine if Well #3 will continue to be a viable backup
source of water for the Town. New E.P.A. regulations have made this evaluation
necessary. This evaluation will be completed in 1993.

WASTEWATER DEPARTMENT
1992 ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
The Wastewater plant treated 72,393,000 gallons of sewage or an average daiflow of 198,000 gallons. The biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) average
removal was 95.8 percent and the suspended solids (S.S) average removal was
93.0 percent for the year. The NPDES permit requires a minimum of 85 percent
removal for both Parameters. The plant is 17 years old and there has never been
any major work done at the plant or on equipment. This is unlike many other
plants. We are reaching the point when we have to look at upgrading some equipment, especially the clarifier, and looking at long term solutions for sludge handling and disposal.

�1992 REPORT
OF THE CONSERVATION COMMISSION
In 1992 the Conservation Commission had a very productive year. At town
meeting the wetlands and shoreline ordinances were passed by vote of the towns
people. We are pleased with the support following the effort put forth by both the
Planning Board and the Conservation Commission on these ordinances.

The UNH Outreach Program continued work at the Town Forest. Currently a
boundary survey of the parcel is being done. A sign was erected at the access
point to the property on Old Bay Road. There was a ceremony dedicating the sign,

dedicated

to

two men who have serv-

with unselfish devotion.

Sergeant Walter Brown has announced his retirement in 1992. He
full time Officer, September, 1969, and was promoted to
Sergeant in 1973. Brownie will be missed by all for his compassion and

started as a

devotion.
It was with sadness that we note the passing of John Oakley. He had
served the Town for 38 years maintaining the clock. Climbing the steeple,

mechanism, and repairing the clock were all part of his efforts. He was active in the community serving on the Board of Selectmen
1977 - 1981. Planning Board, and Budget Committee.

the Land Use Ordinance to read as follows: The Housing and Urban Development Standards for the regulation of manufactured

regulate other activities that could occur in wetlands and certain
activities within 100 feet of Class 1 and 50 feet of Class 2
wetlands, while Class 3 wetlands would not be restricted by this
regulation. Copies of this proposed amendment are available for

�ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD FOR

Despite the continued economic slowdown, the Planning Board has had a busy

the Board in March of 1991 in order to be able to pursue other goals.

of challenges to find

ways

to fund projects without using addi-

property tax dollars. The settlement with Davidson provided $525,000

which the Town spent for two new wells and a fire engine. There is admiration for
the new fire engine which arrived in December. It is a 1 500 gallon pumper-tanker
that was custom built to specifications drawn up by the Fire Department. The
construction of a pump station for the new wells is nearly complete and the well
should be in use in March of 1992. Two State Grants assisted in energy im-

provements and the Town's recycling efforts. The baler was installed at the landand a new storage building constructed with 50 percent State funds. The State
also paid 50 percent of the cost of Energy improvements to the Fire Station and
Waste Water Treatment plant for improvements ranging from new overhead
doors to an electronic variable speed drive. The Town participated with the State
in a Waste load Allocation Study of the Cocheco River to determine the effect of
any proposed increase of effluent from the waste water plant. This study would
have cost the Town $50,000, but with State help the cost to the Town was $3,400.
While the Town's application for a CDBG grant scored well, the State's funds
were exhausted so that the Town did not receive housing money. A new application is being readied for 1992 seeking $350,000.

Desert Storm took Police Officer Dan Yoder to Montana for several weeks. We all
rejoiced to see him and all the other military personnel from Farmington return

In closing we wish to thank our outstanding staff of dedicated employees who
have carried out our policies and services. We thank all the businesses and their
owners who have donated time, goods, money, and equipment for a multitude of
causes. We thank Mr. and Mrs. James Thayer for their many contributions including a FAX machine to the police, new lights for the Town Clock, and a trust
fund to pay the electricity in perpetuity on those lights. We also express our
deepest gratitude to the many individuals who have given freely of their time to
serve on committees and boards for the Town. These efforts have been a tremendous boost to the community, and we thank them for their time, help and dedication. We also thank the many citizens who have contributed their time and efforts
in other ways. It is as a community working together that we are able to say with
pride, "We live in Farmington."

ANNUAL REPORT

To the good citizens of the Town of Farmington, N.H. The Farmington Highway
Department was involved in many various activities over the past fiscal year.

Many of you might have seen the crew this past summer paving the
Meetinghouse Hill Road, which was shim coated in house with our own equipment and I'm proud to say our own new paving drag box. The distance covered
was 2 3/4 miles. We also paved 1 mile on Spring Street and the paved portion of
the River Road.
The Highway Department also reconstructed the grade and drainage system
and built a new fence along part of the sidewalk on Tappan Street from the Goslin

ANNUAL TOWN REPORT

1991

The two new wells (No. 4 and 5) are installed and awaiting pumps. The pipeline
work is 90 percent complete and the control building is almost entirely enclosed.
The entire job should be completed by mid-March. The addition of these two wells
provides a much needed backup water supply with a reserve capacity to meet the
needs of the Town for the forseeable future.

The New Hampshire Department of Transportation was supposed to rebuild
Tappan Street Bridge in 1991, so we decided to place the water main in the
street and across the bridge. This would remove an old 6" main that goes under
part of the Catholic Church building and through the river bed. NHDOT had an
emergency bridge replacement job and was not able to replace the bridge as
planned in 1991. We brought the required materials and tied into the Central

would not have played because of grades or those who felt they could not play

�REPORT OF THE HEALTH OFFICER/ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER
This year has been a productive one for the Health/Animal Control Department.
Three Hundred Thirty-Eight complaints have been responded to. The complaints
vary from barking dogs to loose cows to requests for health inspections.

The door-to-door campaign to license all dogs is working very well. In 1 990, the
need to remind residents to license their dogs was a necessity. By doing so, it has
made owners more aware of their responsibility to license their dogs. Making the
need to go door-to-door a lesser one in 1991.

A total of $3,876.50 was generated from dog licenses and various fines. Fiftyone canines have been transported to the Cocheco Valley Humane Society.

To see the Town will ratify the agreement negotiated between

claims by the Town against Davidson Rubber Company relating
to the release of contaminants on and beneath the Sara Greenfield property, and requiring Davidson Rubber Company to
remediate the aquifer beneath the Sarah Greenfield property so
as to once again be suitable for use as a public drinking water
supply for the Town. Under the Terms of the Settlement, Davidson Rubber Company has paid the Town $525,000 for the cost of
a new drinking water supply well and in repayment of legal and
consulting costs, in partial settlement of the Town's claims. The
$525,000 is now held in an escrow account pending Town
ratification of the agreement. To facilitate remediation, the
selectmen have negotiated a limited restrictive covenant with
Davidson Rubber Company to limit the use by the Town of certain portions of the Sarah Greenfield property for a time period
not to exceed thirty years, and to refrain from using the aquifer
beneath the Sarah Greenfield property for drinking water purposes until the aquifer meets all applicable legal standards
governing public drinking water supplies. A copy of the Agreement is posted for inspection at the Selectmen's offices. Town

�AUDITOR'S OPINION
Board of Selectmen
of Farmington

Town
Town

Hall

Farmington,

New Hampshire 03835

We have examined the financial statements listed in the table of
contents on the preceding page of the several funds of the Town of
Farmington as of December 31,1 987, and for the period begun January
1, 1987, and ended December 31, 1987. Our examination was made in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and, accordingly, included such tests of the accounting records and such other
auditing pro-cedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

The Town has not maintained a record

of

its

general fixed assets and

accordingly, a statement of general fixed assets required by generally

accepted accounting principles

is

not included

The Town has not maintained the books

of the Enterprise

Fund on the

accrual basis, including the recording of fixed assets, depreciation
thereon, and the related indebtedness in current or prior years. The
amounts by which the financial statements would change, if these items
were included while material, cannot be determined.

In

our opinion, the financial statements of the Enterprise Fund do not

present

fairly

In our opinion, except for the omission of a statement of general fixed
assets and the Enterprise Fund, the financial statements referred to
above present fairly the financial position of the several funds of the

Town of Farmington at December 31, 1987, and the results of their
operations for the period begun January 1, 1987, and ended December
31, 1987, applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

�WASTEWATER DEPARTMENT
ANNUAL REPORT

1988

Most of 1988 was spent working on the replacement of the sewer
mains on Main and Central Streets, the repair/replacement/addition of
storm drains on Main Street, and the cleaning of storm drains and catch
basins on Main and Central Streets. Several sewer laterals had to be
relayed due to conflicts with the storm drain and several telephone conduits had to be relayed also to accomodate the new drain system.
An aggreement was arrived at between the Town and Rancourt Properties concerning their new mobile home park. A new clarifier is to be
funded by the sewer connection fees and will initiate the upgrade of the
wastewater plant. An engineerings firm is being selected and the clarifier
will be designed and constructed this summer. The addition, several
sewer lines had to be changed in order to accommodate the higher
flows. Barron Brothers Construction Company completed the upgrade of
the Winter Street sewer lines last fall and will complete the upgrade of a
portion of the East Grove Street sewer line this summer.
A new type of areator is being evaluated as to its performance in increasing the plant's areation capacity. This problem will need to be addressed in the near future as well as sludge handling and disposal practices.

Dale Sprague

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE
department, in cooperation with other emergency service prohas written and submitted a comprehensive plan designed to
assist all operations in the event of a large scale incident in Farmington
or the surrounding communities. This plan, known as the Farmington
Emergency Operation Plan, will be in effect as soon as approval from the
state and local governments is in place. This plan was compiled to bring
the town into compliance with statute.
We still wrestle with the S.A.R.A. title 3 requirements as do most towns
of our size. Very little work has been accomplished on the Farmington
Hazardous Waste Management Plan at this time. In order to complete
this plan a committee of several groups must be formed. The HAZMAT
committee is supposed to be represented by Town Government, safety
services, industry and local interested persons to be effective. We hope
that we will be able to get going on this item as soon as possible. We may
find that new industry will not be able to locate here without this plan in
place. We also continue to experience problems with inspection and
preplanning for fire in our community. This is largely due to the lack of a
favorable format and the lack of time faced by the volunteers required to
do the inspections. At this time there are only a few individuals who are

made it possible for the department to purchase a booking camera. This

have an officer working closely with the school department in dealing
with the students and in talking about substance abuse.

PLANNING BOARD REPORT
The Planning Board had an exceptionally busy year. Three major
developments were finally processed. The Rancourt Mobile Home Park
after several years of hearings and requirements and revisions was finalapproval for the first phase of 75 units. Rancourt paid
ly given
$280,000.00 in impact fees to the town for improvements to the sewer
system. The two other major projects which either received final approval or came close to receiving final approval in 1988 were the proposed mobile home park of Cassidy on the Dodge Cross Road. Sixty-six
units were approved. Mr. Cassidy is paying $80,000.00 to upgrade and
pave the Dodge Cross Road.
There is another major subdivision pending Great Pine Common which
has approximately 80 units. Fiscal impact for these are currently being
studied and under negotiation.
A small subdivision on the Meaderboro Road for Millside Investors
received final approval and are committed to $16,000 in impact fees for
improvements to the Meaderboro Road.
The Zoning Laws were recodified and put into a more organized format.

There are several other potential projects which the Planning Board is
There is another proposal for a major manufactured housing park
off the Watson Cross Road. Several large pieces of land in town have
changed hands from the families that have held them for a long time to
people who are likely to develop them. There is also increased development on Route No. 11 of both commercial and industrial nature. The
Board found its resources over stretched and had difficulty in keeping up
with both its planning responsibilities and the ability to deal with requested projects. Through exceptionally late nights the work has been
maintained but we've had a hard time getting ahead.

�PARKS AND RECREATION REPORT

We

have now completed our fifth year as a full time Parks &amp; RecreaDepartment, and it is time to take a look at how we have grown, and
in what direction we would like to go in the future.
In 1988, John Nolan, who built this program from an empty building to
a full time Recreation Department, resigned as Director. To John we
would like to say thank you, and the best of luck in your new job.
Also in 1988 the Farmington Town Players staged their production of
"You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown". This production played to full
houses, and our congratulations go to them. We look forward to more
entertainment from this group.
A special thanks go to the Farmington Business Association for supporting all our special events. Hay Day, the Nute Ridge Half Marathon
and the Henry Wilson Winter Carnival could not have been successful

We

continue to look for ways to better serve the people of Farmington

teams from one Jr. High team to a Jr. High team, a
High School team, and a 5th and 6th grade team. We also added free
Karate lessons for all ages, and areobics for children. The department
began working with Senior Citizens by giving Halloween and Christmas

�STATEMENT OF SELECTMEN
We, the Selectmen of Farmington, herewith submit our
annual report for the year 1966 for your consideration.
As indicated in our 1965 report, Farmington does now
benefit from the savings made possible by sharing in the
state contracts on purchases. Approximately one thousand
dollars ($1,000.00) was saved on the purchase of our
Police Cruiser. Nearly a two thousand dollar ($2,000.00)
saving was realized on the purchase of the new truck,
which is now available as an emergency back-up vehicle.
We are also saving five cents per gallon on our gasoline
purchases over previous years. An added indirect saving
to us is made possible by permitting the State Police unit
in our area to purchase gasoline here at our cost, a saving
Their
of approximately twjelve cents per gallon to them
previous purchases were at private filling stations.
The majority of the town's insurance policies has been
grouped into one major policy. There was a saving here,
We feel
also, as well as greatly increased coverage.
still more improvement is available in this area.
The Sewer Project was given voter approval and is progressing well in final planning.
The Davidson Water Line Extension is now complete and
final payment has been made. The expected surplus on
this project was exhausted by several unauthorized extras
which were installed without our knowledge. Because of
our arrangement in overseeing this project, the town was
still liable for the added costs; and they were paid under

Article

number 19

in our

1967 warrant deserves your spe-

cial attention. Approval of this article will be the start of

a much-needed program to provide our employees with at
least minimal benefits. At present we have only Workman's

Compensation.
As an observation based on present conditions in our
town, we should expect a constant annual rise (over and
above our normal increases in operating costs) in property
taxes.

We

are faced with major repairs and/or replace-

ments plus demands

BUILDING COMMITTEE REPORT
Specifications for a storage facility for town equipment
only are in the possession of the Selectmen. A square foot
price estimate is also included. The committee chose not
to submit this as an article for your consideration at this
time.
Due to the expense involved, the committee felt
this should be temporarily delayed until after the sewer
project is finalized cost wise.

An allocation of $2/513 was received for this project.

under the direction of Mrs. Bernice Parshley and Miss
Florence Stevens both local teachers was also made possible through an allocation of $5,38 7 jointly sponsored
by Farmington and Mlddleton school districts. You are
urged to read the evaluation of this joint project in the
school report.

Currently, two cooperative projects sponsored by
Farmington and Mlddleton are now in operation. Allocation of $2,400 has been made available for library shelving at the High School to accommodate the increased number of volumes and audio-visual aids which are being purchased on a five-year plan to meet the minimum library
standards as currently set up. In addition, we are in the
second year of approximately $5 ,000 per year, under Title
II, of the same act, allocated for the purchase of library
books and audio-visual aids to be made available for all
schools in Supervisory Union #44.

Under another joint project by Farmington and Middleton, an allocation of $3,888 has been made available for
the employment of teacher aides to assist the three first
grade teachers who now have a total enrollment of 106
children. This project was phased in January 3; and the
services of Miss Joyce Nutter, Mrs. Blanche Magee and
Mrs. Muriel Martineau were procured. It must be reemphasized that these funded projects come from the
joint allocation of both Farmington

and Mlddleton school

districts

Although, at this writing, there are no committee reports in regard to the AREA Concept and the Co-operative
School Districts. These are changing times in educational circles, and signs point to growth and innovation in
the Immediate future for continued study of this type of
organization.
There will be a continuance of Federal programs which
will affect education in one form or another. We should

facts rather than emotions and hearsay.

�REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL
To the Superintendent of Schools:
The undersigned herewith submits his report for the
period from January 20, 1966, to January 27, 1967.

The overall enrollment of pupils In Farmlngton High
School has decreased somewhat from that of the previous
reporting period. The chief cause of this decrease was
the graduation of a large class last June combined with
the entrance of a smaller eighth grade than has been the
norm In recent years. However, the entering eighth grade
in September, 1967, Is expected to return to .the normal
figure. The smaller graduating class, combined with the
larger eighth grade, should bring the enrollment figure
to approximately 311, an increase of 38 over the present
figure. The addition of the new industrial plant to Farmlngton 's economy does not seem to have had a significant
Impact upon the enrollment in Grades 8 through 12 as
yet.

On June 17, 1966, fifty-five students were graduated. Of this total, 12 elected to continue their formal
education; 12 entered the armed services; 8 married; 28
entered gainful employment; and 2 could not be classified at this time. This was the largest class to graduate in the history of Farmlngton High School.
There has been a number of very important additions
to the educational opportunities made available to the
students of Farmlngton High School this year. Physical
education is required of all students in grades eight
through twelve. The physical education program is teaching skills that can be used during the student's entire
life, as well as benefiting him Immediately through better conditioning and the application of good health habWith the employment of the school librarian on a

possible for him to keep abreast of curmany areas. A guidance counselor
has been employed for the first time in several years.
The guidance program has benefited the student in enabling him to obtain help in solving the educational and personal problems he may face. It should also be noted
that the number of drop-outs since September seems to
have decreased in relation to that of previous years.
This decrease may be due in part to the guidance program as well as the other new services added to the

The co-curricula program continues to offer many experiences of value to the students. This program includes
athletics; the various clubs such as the Math Club which
has won two consecutive Southeastern League Mathalon
trophies; and the class organizations. The Student Council continues to be active and has established a point
system for student awards in the various activities of the
school. In connection with the fall and spring athletics,
there has been a problem in regard to the transportation
of teams to out-of-town games. With the aid of money
earned by the Civics classes in past years, a secondhand school bus has been obtained with which it is hoped
this problem will be solved in the best interest of all concerned.
,

,

Farmington High School has been fortunate in retainmany experienced faculty members and in obtaining
replacements of those who have chosen to move. Any
school can only be as good as its staff, and the contribution made by the teachers to the students' education in
Farmington has been significant. With the increasing rewards and benefits being offered to qualified educators in
neighboring states and communities, it is becoming increasingly difficult for Farmington to compete for qualified
replacements

The building remains in good condition and requires no
more than the usual precautions necessary to preserve the
district's investment. The undersigned remains a supas
porter of a program of preventive maintenance such
regular cleaning of septic tanks, heating equipment the
preservation of roofs, floors, plumbing, and the like.

This attention would tend to prevent the sudden failure of
equipment resulting in hazards to the pupils. It may also be noted that the building continues to be used by many outside organizations many times during the year.
In closing, the writer would like to express his appreciation of the fine cooperation he has received from the
Farmington School Board, the Superintendent of Schools,
and his staff, fellow principals, faculty and staff, and
from the students and their parents. The voters of the
Farmington School District must also be sincerely thanked
for the fine additions to the program of the school which
they have made possible during the present year.

ELEMENTARY PRINCIPAL'S REPORT
To the Superintendent of Schools:

Expansion of student population necessitated an increase,
by one teacher, in the staff this year, resulting in a
staff numbering ten in size. This consists of three classroom teachers each for grades five, six, and seven, and
one specialist teacher in reading.
An additional classroom was required for the extra class,
and this was obtained by permanently dividing the auditorium, rendering that facility unavailable to us any longer for joint class activities. New furniture was purchased
for this room, also.
One other room was modified to some extent to make it
suitable for more sophisticated science instruction. This
consisted primarily of the installation of a teacher's lab
demonstration table.
We continue to make extensive use of educational television in the fields of science and social studies. To
another television set
facilitate our use of this medium
has been purchased, providing a set for both upstairs
and downstairs.
We became the beneficiaries of a considerable amount
of special reading equipment and materials which had
been purchased by Mr. Martineau with federal funds for
the special summer school program held here in Farmington
last summer.
Perhaps the most significant undertaking of the past year
has been the continued development and refinement of the
very vital reading program.
For the past three years,
we have been steadily reorganizing and revising both our
instructional technique and materials.
Instructional
changes have consisted primarily in the utilization of a
semi-departmentalized classroom arrangement, allowing
three key subjects in both grade five and grade six to be
taught by what might be called "specialist teachers."
This phase of our reorganization was completed last year.
These special classes imply the need of special materiThough
als to guarantee really effective implementation.
all three subject areas have received attention in this regard, our primary effort here has been in the field of read,

112

�ing, the elementary school's primary reason for being.
Extensive materials of exceptional quality were purchased
for the fifth grade program last year. These enabled us
to develop a reading program in grade five that was truly
meciningful and effective for neeirly all the children involved in it. In the past^ as has been more or less traditional in elementary schools, primarily because of lack
of adequate teacher time and instructional materials, we
had been presenting a mode of reading instruction which,
in essence, required the students to fit themselves into a
pre-conceived mold of reading competence in carder to
effectively benefit from our instruction; a fact , which , for
many of them , was not consistent with reality, as indicated by their aptitude and/or achievement levels. Therefore, many of them were not given an equitable opportunity to achieve at levels commensurate with their abilities
Departmentalization created more teacher
and Interest.
time and competence, and the purchase of quality materials
of both basal and supplemental natures, geared to several
different levels of instruction, made it possible for the
teachers to offer instruction on several levels, suitaJDle,
in most cases, to the individual students' personal needs
and abilities. Thus, our reading program became far more
effective and equitable.
During the current year this same procedure has been carried out in grade six. It is our plan to further extend this
refinement of the reading program into grade seven next

year.

Our total enrollment figure remains quite stable although
we have had quite a few enter and transfer this year. It
might be interesting to note that approximately eighty of
the children's parents are employed at Farmington's newest industry.
Aruling was made last spring that our incoming first graders must be six years of age by October 1 . It was agreed
that for this school year only (1966-1967) that, if they attained this age between October 1 and December 31, and
satisfactorily completed a readiness test, theycould enter
school in September. Thereafter, there would be no exceptions to the October 1 rule. In spite of this ruling,
we enrolled a large first grade. The results of the readiness tests given to all first grade pupils in September
show a definite relationship to the pupil's abilities to do

work.

Supt. Martineau, through the use of federal funds, secured three teacher aids to work with our first grade teachers. These aids are giving valuable help to the beginners in these classes.

Dorothy Bas sett serves as instructor in both vocal and instrumental music this year.
Several of our teachers are taking extension courses.

Of necessity, many facilities must be shared by Memorial

�REPORT OF THE GUIDANCE COUNSELOR
To the Superintendent of Schools:
is the process which enables each individuunderstand his interests, abilities, and personalitytraits; to develop them as well as possible; and to relate
them to his life's goals.

Guidance

al to

The general objectives of guidance are to acquire a
thorough knowledge of each student as an individual; to
know his aptitudes, abilities, interests, physical^ mental and emotional condition , family background including
economic status; and other pertinent information which indicate the way to his best adjustment now and in later
life.

The basic attitude of the guidance program is that
the individual is of central importance. Rules and regulations of the school, the community, and society as a
whole are important. Equally important are the demands
made in our economy for trained workers in our occupational structure.
In guidance work the normal growth
problems, adjustment, and the progress of the individual as a member of our society are the primary concerns.

The counseling service is viewed as that part of
guidance that provides a one to one relationship between
a student who seeks a better understanding of self and/
or his world and the counselor skilled in the techniques
necessary to help the student in the relationship to achieve such an understanding. Students seek counseling through their own initiative , are called by the counselor or are referred to the counselor by parents , teachers , and/or administrators . Typical occasions or conditions that may indicate a need for counseling are (1) personal problems; (2) educational, vocational or avocational problems; (3) interpretation of test scores; (4)
health problems; (5) college admissions and scholarships;
school grades and underachievement; (7) adjust(6)

MEMORIAL DRIVE SCHOOL
SUMMER READING PROGRAM
TITLE

1

,

E S E

A

Our Summer Reading Program, of six weeks duration,
could be classed as "Remedial." The thirty pupils were
divided into two groups. One group involved pupils in
Grades 2 and 3, and the other group was made up of pupils from Grades 4 and 5. With these small groups, it
was possible to work on an individual and two or three
grouping basis. We used the "Learning through Seeing"
filmstrlps with the younger group, which, by the use of
"Seeing Skills" films and Flash-O-Graph, promoted attention and interest. The "Seeing Skills" were followed
by vocabulary drills (filmstrips) consisting of Dolch
words and phrases succeeded, of course, by the work
in comprehension. This type of work, in addition to selected phonetic drills, was done with the whole group
with particular attention to individual remedial needs.
Next, small groups worked with Scott Foresman material.
Ateacher would be busy with one small group while other
groups worked in various parts of the room, reading, debating comprehension choices, etc.
and it was good to
hear disagreements and sometimes quite vigorous arguments concerning some word usages.

—

—

Of all the phases, we worked harder on comprehension from the manual suggested idea to the old way of
questions page by page and "Who can find the answer? "
It did pay off, not only in comprehension, alone, but in
a sensible attack on pronunciation and vocabulary building. We used IB of the S.R.A. in this group. The tape
recorder and the language laboratory were much in use.

—

We found that Grade 2 did not seem to progress the
last week; in fact, they sometimes appeared to regress,
while Grade 3 pupils showed a steady gain.
Effort and cooperation were excellent in both groups
Reading materials found most helpful in the upper group
were the Reading Training Films based on the Developmental Series by Lyons and Carnahan; the S.R.A. Reading
Laboratory; and the Elementary Reading Tachist-O-Films.

124

�In addition to group work, there was opportunity for the
teacher to give much individual help and attention. Definite progress along many lines was noted, not only in
reading, but in less tangible qualities as self-assurance,
self-respect, and leadership.

We told the children at the beginning of the program
that they were not going to be "ranked," that we were
there to help them read better and we think that this was

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-

After considering various ways of repairing or
we decided to replace with a new

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
with two culverts. These are four feet in diameter,
made of reinforced concrete and should last many years
with no maintenance expense.

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

MISCELLANEOUS
Owing to the closing of the Meadeiiioro and Ten
Eoad Road schools Ave found it necessaiw to place the
third grade in the town hall. Owing to a previous vote
At
of the town this meant using the main auditorium.
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.

years.

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

U R I N G the w i n t e r of 1939-40 the
M u s e u m of Comparative Zoology at
H a r v a r d has received one of the finest collections of N o r t h Americaia beetles i n existence—that of the late D r . H e n r y C l i n t o n
F a l l . I t contains about a quarter of a m i l lion specimens, r a n g i n g i n size f r o m giants
several inches long to pygmies m u c h smaller
than the head of a p i n . More t h a n one h u n dred thousand of the specimens, about fifteen
thousand species, are i n a m a i n N o r t h A m e r i can series w h i c h fills to o v e r f l o w i n g 296 boxes,
each 12 by 8 inches. N e a r l y another h u n d r e d
thousand are i n a second N o r t h A m e r i c a n
series w h i c h came to D r . F a l l a few years ago
f r o m C h a r l e s L i e b e c k . T h e balance of the
quarter m i l l i o n is made up by exotic beetles,
and there are also a few thousand good butterflies and moths. A l l of the specimens are
beautifully prepared and arranged.
M a n y of the exotics are showy, but the
F a l l Collection is not for show. It is not and
never w i l l be on exhibition to the public.
T h e N o r t h A m e r i c a n section i n particular is
a working collection of the very greatest v a l ue, w h i c h w i l l be reserved for the use of
scientists. T o understand the scientific value
of an enormous accumulation of specimens of
this sort, one must k n o w something of the
purposes and methods of m u s e u m w o r k .
Most big zoological museums have two
functions: the obvious one of exhibition and
C h i l d h o o d collections of shells and butterflies lie
at the back and bottom of many A m e r i c a n h a l l
closets—cracked and moth-eaten evidence that the
collection irripulse flowers ( a n d generally dies)
young. T h a t it continues to stir the pulses of the
rare adult, and causes h i m to pursue all sorts of
ephemera to the ultimate satisfaction of the glass
bottle and the cork and common p i n , is beyond the
understanding of the average l a y m a n . T h e author
explains it all i n this brief article.
P h i l i p J . D a r l i n g t o n , Jr., '26, S . M . '27, P h . D . ' 3 1 , is
assistant curator of insects i n the M u s e u m of C o m parative Zoology. H e has just been appointed first

education, and the less obvious one of research. M u s e u m research is concerned p r i marily w i t h w h a t is called t a x o n o m y — w i t h
the classification of animals. It is the business
of a m u s e u m m a n to find out w h a t sort of
animals there are, where they come f r o m , and
h o w they m a y be distinguished. H e does
this by getting together and studying large
numbers of properly preserved and labeled
specimens.
A n d w h e n he has done it, he
gives names to the different kinds, and publishes a concise .scheme of classification. A n d
the specimens he has used are stored a w a y i n
the m u s e u m for c h e c k i n g and for future use.
N o w , m u s e u m w o r k is f u n , or there w o u l d
be few people engaged i n it, for it is not w e l l
paid. B u t it is also useful i n an unostentatious w a y , if it is properly done and if the
results are properly published so that other
people can use them. T h e classification of
animals is, perhaps, not important i n itself,
unless the pleasure it gives to m a n y amateur
and professional taxonomists is important,
but it is a means to several useful ends.
T h e first great use of a n i m a l classification
is to set up a system w h i c h is like a giant card
index, i n w h i c h each a n i m a l has its place and
name by means of w h i c h a l l sorts of information can be filed away and found
again.
H o w such a system w o r k s is best s h o w n by
example.
Suppose (for example—it really happened)
a mosquito suddenly appears i n B r a z i l and
raises hell w i t h the m a l a r i a l rate. T h e first
t h i n g to do is to find out the name of the
mosquito and its place i n classification, either
by direct comparison w i t h a scientific collection, or by consulting a specialist, w h o has
studied collections. A n d suppose (as was the
case) the mosquito turns out to be a c o m m o n
A f r i c a n species, Anopheles
gambiae.
Then
one can look up that name i n bibliographies
a n d indexes, and go f r o m them to articles i n
scattered scientific journals, and may find a
good deal on record about the habits and control of that particular mosquito neatly filed
away (so to speak) under the name. A n d
even if no further information is found, the

knowledge that the insect is A f r i c a n and has
invaded B r a z i l , probably a r r i v i n g as a n u n invited guest i n an airplane, w a r n s that the
species can enter n e w country w i t h disastrous
results a n d that it must be guarded against,
by fumigation of airplanes f r o m infected regions and by other means. B u t if the mosquito d i d not have a name and a place i n
classification to distinguish it f r o m all other
mosquitoes, it w o u l d be next to impossible
to discover that it came to B r a z i l f r o m A f r i c a
or that a n y t h i n g had been k n o w n about it
before.
O r suppose (this really happened, too) a
striped beetle appears i n G e r m a n y and attacks potato plants so severely that it is officially proclaimed " F a r m e r s ' E n e m y N u m ber 1 " . It is easy to discover i n any of several
good G e r m a n museums that it is the A m e r i can "Potato B u g " , Leptinotarsa
decemlineata,
and then it is easy to look up the best w a y to
fight it, w i t h o u t costly delay.
O f course, it is not always necessary to rush
to a m u s e u m to identify a pest, for museums
do not have a corner on a n i m a l classification.
B u t the sort of w o r k w h i c h is done i n research
museums is w h a t makes identification pos-

sible, not only i n emergencies but i n thousands of less spectacular cases. A n d w i t h the
increasing size of modern collections and the
increasing volume of the literature, museums
are c a r r y i n g more and more of the load of
n a m i n g and i n d e x i n g the a n i m a l w o r l d .
np A X O N O M Y — t h e classification of aniX_ mals and plants—has contributed to pure
science too, more than most l a y m e n realize.
It contributed, for instance, to the discovery
of the theory of evolution by natural selection, w h i c h has had such profound influence
not only on biology but on modern thought.
T h e principle of natural selection was u n covered independently by two men, Charles
D a r w i n and A l f r e d Russel W a l l a c e . B o t h of
these m e n were deeply interested i n classification and i n the closely related problem of
geographical distribution of organisms. Both
m e n traveled widely, collecting animals and
plants and finding m a n y n e w species, some of
w h i c h were later given the names
darwini
and wallacei.
D a r w i n widened his interests
greatly i n later l i f e ; W a l l a c e was always p r i m a r i l y a student of classification and distribution. It is no accident that these t w o i n -

�LA G U A R D I A A T FIRST SENIOR-ALUMNI D I N N E R

T

H R E E hundred and fifty seniors—nearly half the class—filled to capacity the
Eliot H o u s e d i n i n g hall on the occasion of
the first S e n i o r - A l u m n i D i n n e r last T h u r s day. T h e occasion was the fulfillment of
the long-cherished conviction of D r . E l l i o t t
C . Cutler, '09, President of the H a r v a r d A l u m n i Association, that seniors w o u l d be glad
to be informed of their rights and privileges
as a l u m n i before leaving the U n i v e r s i t y .

W h e n first consulted, the senior officers
immediately responded to the suggestion by
the appointment of the three marshals,
T h o m a s V . H e a l e y , P h i l C . N e a l , Ernest J .
Sargeant, and F r e d e r i c k H o l d s w o r t h , Jr., as
a committee to manage the dinner. Professor
Roger B . M e r r i m a n , '96, Master of E l i o t
House, enthusiastically approved the choice
of the E l i o t d i n i n g room. R o y L . Westcott,
manager of the U n i v e r s i t y D i n i n g H a l l s ,
provided a special dinner, and the A l u m n i
Association contributed free beer and cigarettes.
A t the first meeting, the senior committee
expressed the hope that the class might be
addressed by a national figure w h o w o u l d
give them a n optimistic v i e w of their chances
i n the troubled w o r l d they w o u l d encounter
w h e n they left the U n i v e r s i t y . T h r o u g h the
excellent offices of a classmate of D r . Cutler's
father, Charles C . B u r l i n g h a m , '79, w h o m
Mayor Fiorello H . L a G u a r d i a described as
"the first citizen of N e w Y o r k C i t y , " the
N e w Y o r k M a y o r was prevailed upon to
m a k e a special trip to C a m b r i d g e to address
the Senior Class.
T l i e energetic and popular Mayor L a G u a r d i a of
N e w Y o r k City paid a flying visit to H a r v a r d last
week to speak at tlie first S e n i o r - A l u m n i D i n n e r
( E l i o t House) and to address afterwards (Indoor
Athletic B u i l d i n g ) some 7 0 0 students at a meeting
sponsored by the Council of Government Concentrators.
H i s Honor came to the S e n i o r - A l u m n i
D i n n e r on the invitation of D r . E l l i o t t C . Cutler, ' 0 9 ,
President of the A l u m n i Association, and through
the offices of a past President, Charles C . B u r l i n g h a m , ' 7 9 . T h e success of the evening is evidenced
by this article prepared for the B U L L E T I N by W i l l i a m G . Roelker, ' 0 9 .

T h r e e quarters of an hour ahead of time,
the seniors began to pack both entries to the
d i n i n g hall. E v e r y seat was q u i c k l y filled,
and some thirty or forty late arrivals could
not be accommodated. U n d e r prolonged applause the M a y o r entered the hall under the
escort of D r . Cutler, Professor M e r r i m a n , and
several A l u m n i Directors.
W h e n the dinner had advanced f r o m
mock turtle soup to strawberry ice-cream
and coffee, Professor M e r r i m a n rose to w e l come the Mayor to H a r v a r d and E l i o t House.
" T h e Class of 1940 is fortunate to have the
opportunity tonight to be addressed by the
M a y o r of N e w Y o r k , " he said, " a n d H i s
H o n o r is equally privileged to have as a n
audience one of the best classes I have ever
k n o w n i n m y fifty years' connection w i t h the
University."
D r . Cutler, introducing the subject of the
rights w h i c h the seniors w i l l enjoy w h e n
they become a l u m n i , touched on the history
of the College and the A l u m n i Association.
" E x - P r e s i d e n t John Q u i n c y A d a m s , 1787, was
elected first President w h e n the organization
was founded at Commencement, 1840.
For
a number of years it was largely a social organization whose meetings, consisting of a
two-hour oration and a dinner followed by
numerous speeches, lasted u n t i l sunset. B y
1848 the Association had nearly petered out.
At this time the Board of Overseers was still
composed of officials of the Commonwealth and
the ministers of the neighboring towns—Boston,
Watertown, etc.—as it had been since the foundation of the College. T h e Corporation, created
by the Charter of 1650 as a sort of executive committee for the Overseers, was composed, as it is
today, of five Fellows, in perpetual succession,
and the President and Treasurer. T h i s body
must have the consent of the Overseers for its
undertakings, and thus the Overseers act as a
sort of brake and safeguard upon the Corporation.
I n 1848 a number of men were elected to the
Legislature who felt that Harvard was 25 years
behind the times both in teaching and i n organization. A bill was introduced to remodel the
Charter by increasing the Corporation to fifteen

dependent discoverers of natural selection
had similar t r a i n i n g and lived at the same
time. U n t i l a multitude of obscure taxonomists
had carried the classification of the a n i m a l
and plant w o r l d s to the point where relationships could be appreciated, neither D a r w i n
nor anyone else could very w e l l conceive of
natural selection. B u t w h e n that point w a s
reached, the conception was certain, and
w o u l d certainly have come to someone else if
neither D a r w i n nor W a l l a c e had got it.
A n d there is no reason to t h i n k that the
contributions of taxonomy to pure science
are over. T h e most s t r i k i n g recent advances
i n evolutionary theory have come chiefly
f r o m genetics laboratories. B u t w e do not
yet k n o w whether or not geneticists are on
the track of evolution as it really occurs i n
nature. M a n y persons t h i n k not. T a x o n o mists and paleontologists, most of w h o m are
taxonomists too, w h o study the differences
w h i c h have really evolved a m o n g l i v i n g and
fossil animals, see the real products of evolution, and these persons are i n the best position to criticize the geneticists' conclusions.
T h e next great contribution to our k n o w l edge of evolution w i l l probably not be made
by taxonomists directly, but their criticism is
likely to help geneticists and cytologists to
m a k e it. A n d evolution is w o r t h understanding. O n e of these days, if Professor H o o t o n
is sufficiently eloquent, w e m a y try to direct
the evolution of m a n . T h e n evolutionary
theory w i l l cease to be pure science and w i l l
become of the most vital, practical i m portance.
But to come back to D r . F a l l ' s beetles: I
do not mean, of course, that they w i l l save us
f r o m some insidious insect pest or that they
w i l l introduce a n e w era i n biological thought.
W h a t I do m e a n is that the F a l l Collection
has a far greater value than if it were merely
a quarter of a m i l l i o n pretty insects pinned at
r a n d o m into a few h u n d r e d boxes. I t represents a very real contribution to taxonomy,
and through taxonomy to all science. I t represents not only the value of the i n d i v i d u a l
specimens, but also a lifetime of intelligent
w o r k . O n the basis of this collection. D r .

F a l l published 144 scientific papers, described
and named about 1,400 n e w species, and revised (reclassified) a number of our largest
and most difficult genera. A n d even this is
not a l l . T a x o n o m y is, or should be, a cooperative u n d e r t a k i n g carried on by m a n y
persons, generation after generation, according to specific rules w h i c h have been established by an international committee. A n d
throughout his w o r k D r . F a l l d i d cooperate
and d i d abide by the rules—some persons do
not, and m a k e more confusion than they do
good. H e took the trouble ( a n d it is often a
lot of trouble) to check back to the specimens
studied by earlier taxonomists to m a k e sure
just w h a t they were t a l k i n g about w h e n their
descriptions were ambiguous, and he kept i n
touch w i t h his contemporaries.
H i s boxes
are f u l l not only of his o w n authentic " t y p e s "
but of specimens compared w i t h other f a m ous collections, and of authentic specimens received f r o m other w o r k e r s . T h e F a l l C o l lection represents, as w e l l as any one man's
w o r k can, a complete cross section of modern
classification of N o r t h A m e r i c a n beetles. I t
is not only a monument to D r . F a l l , w h o
made it, and a fine acquisition for the m u s e u m
as it stands, it is also a first-class basis for
further w o r k , i n this and future generations.
A n d a little by w a y of biography: H e n r y
C l i n t o n F a i l was born December 25, 1862, at
F a r m i n g t o n , N . H . , and died N o v e m b e r 14,
1939, at T y n g s b o r o , Mass. H e w e n t to D a r t mouth College ('84), and received an honorary S c . D . f r o m D a r t m o u t h i n 1929.
He
was, by profession, a teacher of physics and
chemistry. H i s interest was turned to the
study of beetles as a n avocation w h e n he w a s
fifteen years o l d : J u l y 17, 1878, at W a k e f i e l d ,
Mass., at 7.30 i n the evening, w h e n he caught
and was fascinated by a specimen of a b i g
"longicorn", Prionus
pocularis.
H e preserved and labeled the specimen. I t was the
first of his quarter m i l l i o n .
W e feel that it is a great compliment to the
M u s e u m of Comparative Zoology that D r .
F a l l , w h o was not a H a r v a r d m a n , chose to
leave his collection to us for safe keeping and
for future use.
