REPORT OF SEWAGE STUDY COMMITTEE
At the March 1974Town Mee ting, was appropria ted as the Town ’ s shareof the cos t to update the ex is ting sewer sys tem plans
,and to comple te the des ign of
a trea tment p lant . I t was a lso voted to au thor ize the appl ica tion to sta te andFederal agencies for lega lly ava ilable funds from this source .
Accordingly,our engineers were advised to prepare the necessary appl ica tion
forms,which were presented to the proper S ta te agency . However
,Federal pro
cedures had been a l tered in the interim ,and a new study plan was required. This
has been prepared and submitted,and as of January 7, 1975 , this commi ttee was
advised by the Director of Municipal Services of the N. H. Wa ter Supply and P01lution Control Commission, tha t this would probably be ac ted on by the FederalE . P. A. wi thin the nex t four to six months . The Director expec ted a favorablerea ction
,which would mean tha t the planni ng and desi gn of the projec t could be
completed in time for action at the 1976 Town Meeting .
Thus i t appears that the earl ies t possible da te for completion of this systemwould be duringIn the mea ntime
,the Town is sti ll under State order to aba te pol lu tion ; bu t a
reques t has been made to the S ta te to defer compl iance for another yea r toJanuary 1976 ; and on Janna ry 7, 1975 , we were advised tha t th is reques t wou ld begranted shortly .
The commi ttee ha s held severa l meetings to discuss pertinen t phases of theprogram
,such as the basis for apporti oning the capi ta l a nd opera ting costs of the
system ; the effec t on property eva lua tions ; appl ica tion of the sewer ordinance ,and other aspec ts . Most of these problems cannot be ful ly worked out unti l thedes i gn and engineering is comple te.
I t now appears tha t the only procedure we can now fol low is to ma inta in anac tive commi ttee , and to c on tinue our effor ts to proceed as fas t as S ta te andFederal programs permi t.

REPORT OF ANTRIM PARK BOARD
The Park Board superv ises the following : Gregg Lake Ba thing Bea ch,Ba th

Tennis Court, Jamison Avenue ; S i te of First School in Antrim on Goodell Road ;Park on Rt . 202 a t the foot of Goodel l Hi ll .Wi th money voted a t las t year ’s Town Meeting
,a new floa t was bui l t a long wi th a
new Lifeguard S ta tion . S tyrofoam base was used on the raft and proved to be muchmore sa tisfac tory tha n oi l drums .
The Ba th House at the Publ ic Beach has been ta ken care oi . All pipes in thebuilding have been dra ined
,the pump ta ken out and stored
,and the electric serv
i ce di sconnected for the winter . The blocks tha t outl ine the swimming area arestored in the Ba th House for the winter . The rope on the bl ocks was replaced las tyear wi th polypropolene rope so they should last for several sea sons . The blocksare wooden and as they are pa inted yearly
,they are sti ll in good shape . This past
spring they were pa inted by the B oy Scou ts as a publ ic service project . There is agood dea l of time and labor spent ( all volunteer ) i n getti ng the bl ocks out andanchored each spring and then taken in
,in the fa l l .
The tennis court in Cram Park on Jamiason Avenue was resurfaced wi th asphal tand sealed in the ea rly summer . The l ines were pa inted by volun teer labor andnow the c ourt is in good condi tion and should stay tha t way for severa l moresea sons . The net is in good shape
,but needs to be ra ised to proper playing height .
This can be done wi th a minimum cost .At the Park on Rou te 202 ,
grass was kep t cu t,f lowers were planted and brush
was cu t dur ing the summer sea son .
Antrim’
s I ce Ska ting Rink was bui l t on Thanksgiving weekend by about a dozenboys and men. The cost of the rink was somewha t high er tha n an tic ipa ted due toi nfla ti on . The rink will be used for regu lar ska ting wi th time set a s ide for Hockey .
There wi ll be some night ska ting la ter on wi th the Fire Departmen t genera tor usedto l ight up the a rea .
We all hope tha t nex t yea r we will be set up on a fla t surface wi th wa ter a t the olddump si te . The area w ill be hot topped and used yea r round for basketball and tennis in the summer and ska ting in the winter .

ANTRIM FIRE DEPARTMENT
The year 1974 has been a busy year for the Department. We had twenty- two fires ,four fa lse alarms
,three fores t fires and three Mutua l A id ca l ls .
We have had several tra ini ng sessions sponsored by the New Hampshire FireService : Protective brea thing ( a ir packs ) , Ladders, Hose care and use , Hydraulicsand Pump care and opera tion . Many men a ttended these c lasses and receiveddiplomas for comple ting the courses .
Adolf Baer re tired as assis tant chief and was replac ed by Jack Caughey,who
was a member of a Fire Company in Massachusetts for many years prior tobecoming a regular member of Co . 2 .
For the safety of the men and the Town,al l new members are required to have a
physica l before j oi ning the C ompany .
The new truck,which was ordered in April of 1973, fina lly arrived in September
of 1974. Af ter ins ta ll ing a pump and reel , i t was pu t into service in Oc tober . I t hasalready played an importan t part in two fires.
As you know,
was drawn from the Capi ta l Reserve Truck Fund andfrom Revenue Sharing for th is piece of equipment . By elimina ting the fri lls andsticking to the things tha t are really needed
,we not only go t the truck described in
the Artic le,but a lso fee t of 4 hose. This gives us feet of 4” hose on the
reel . The men in the Department dona ted in excess of $400 from their CompanyFund to keep the cos t wi thin the appropria ti on and to make this a more efficientpiece of equipment.I t might in terest you to know tha t this truck was bu il t in four different s tages
,
and we had signed con trac ts for each before 1974. When construc tion was com
pleted and I picked the truck up,I was informed an iden tica l truck would be
wi thout the hose,compared to our including feet of hose.
We disposed of the D iamond T forThe ta nk went on the Duplex a t Nor th Branch Stati on and we hope to use this
81200. to pick up a ta nker from Government Surplus . With the expans ion of theTown and the remote loca tions
,a ta nker is a must . As soon as we can get this
,we
hope we can retire the Duplex back to Hawthorne Col lege where i t wi l l always beready as a spare pumper should we need it.We rebui l t a cement dam on O ld Hancock Road nea r Norman S tacy ’ s which will
give usa water hole,and wi th the 2700’ of hose on the New Reel Pumper
,we will be
able to give be tter protecti on to the C l inton area .
With the oi l shortage and people swi tching to wood,be sure to check your chim
neys and stoves . Be'
sure every thing is safe before f iring up. A lot of us today arenot famil iar wi th the wood burning uni ts.

The three maj or causes of fire a re :1. Chi ldren play ing wi th ma tches : Keep ma tches out of their reach and teach
them the danger of fire.
2 . Smoking : When you throw them away,make sure they are ou t$DON ’T smoke

3. Not enough help when you are doing outdoor burning . A patch of dry leaves orgrass , or a cha nge in the wind can make tha t l i ttle f ire a big one in nothing fla t.

PROPOSED BUDGET
EXPLANATION OF TABLE ONE
This table shows the tax burden breakdown,by towns
,for all grades 1-12 for the
1974budget . Note tha t Antrim,Dublin
,and Hancock have approx ima tely the same
100 percent va lua ti on bu t tha t Antrim ’
srequi rement i s while Dublin andHancock pay and respectively. This is due to a formula whichbases payment on average da ily membership and paymen t on equalizedvaluation . (Antrim
’
spercen t of pupils is wi th Dublin and Hancock having 10percent. )Bennington , Greenfield, and Temple have similar 100 percent evalua tions andaverage da ily memberships .
Further, Bus iness Profi ts Tax pays nea rly one- th ird of Bennington’s schools tax
and pays one-fifth of those of Peterborough . The res t of the towns receive very'
54
l i ttle help from this s ta te tax . Thus the average tax ( school ) on a house is$524. Antrim is a t the high end of tax payment with $817 and Bennington is low wi th8392 . Mos t of the res t range between $460 a nd $539 . Greenf ield is the only one anproaching $600.

The average school tax on a house is $548. Antrim,because the number of

COMMISSIONER ’S REPORT
This year ha s been a busy one for your Commiss i oners . Soon after the Marchmeeting we ordered the pipe for the Pleasan t St. ex tension and found the price hadadvanced 15 percen t over the price quoted a month earl ier . We had to take deliveryof the pipe sooner than desired as the suppl ier told us he was having to refuseorders for pipe and i t d id not help his credibi li ty to have our pipe si tting in his yard .
Bids were ob ta i ned for laying the pipe bu t there was some ques ti on about howmuch money the Town had for the proj ect . This was not resolved unti l a specia lTown Mee ting was held when was appropria ted from the Federal SharingFunds . Work was s tarted shor tly after and completed in about ten days .
In the meantime four engineering firms were contac ted about the wa ter surveyof the Precinct . The bid of Whi tman Howard
,Inc . a Boston firm was accepted
and they went to work a t once . They have made a very thorough study of the Precinct and the presen t wa ter needs as well as projecting the requi remen ts in theyear 2025 . Various sources of wa ter have been considered
,severa l s ta te agencies
have been contac ted and we feel they have done a very compe tent and comprehensive study . Their recommenda ti ons are ex tensive
,involving a Gal. tank
wi th 12 inch ma ins from i t to Ma in St. and a long Main St.,a second well e tc . a t an
estima ted cost of wi th cos ts es timated to r ise at 1 percent per month dueto infla ti on . They adivse us tha t we may be forced to shut off Campbell Pondcompletely and rely on wells for water by 1977 and tha t we would ha ve five years inwhich to comply . This wil l be by order of the Federa l Government or the State ofN H. bann ing open ponds as sources of drinking water . However in the l ight of thebleak economic pic ture for 1975 we cannot see any possible way to spend thisamoun t of money wi thou t substantia l aid and feel th a t of necessi ty we must delaythis proj ect un ti l funds become available .
Maintenance has been rela tive ly low this year . We had one maj or break on Concord St. caused by Publ ic Service Co . crews setti ng new po les . The large augurthey use to dig the hole for the pole hit the six inch ma in dead center and smashedi t completely . A secti on e i gh t feet l ong was cu t ou t, a new piece put in and the l inewas ba ck i n service by nightfa l l
,thanks to George Edwards and his c rew who
worked overtime to repa ir the break .
On beha lf of the Prec inc t we tha nk Mr. David Hurlin and the Goodell C ompanyfor the generous gif t of the Summer St. dam and Wa ter Righ ts to the Prec inc t .Much of the fire protecti on of Main St. depends upon the preserva tion of this sourceof wa ter for the pumpers .
We would like to make the fol lowing recommenda tions :1 . Tha t 100percen t of the es tabl ished wa ter rates be col lec ted .
2 . Tha t the sum of be ra ised by taxat ion .
