The companies are entirely volunteer, only the drivers of the ap- paratus receiving pay from the Borough. The fire houses are owned by the Borough and under the care of the Property Committee of the Borough Council.


In addition to the above mentioned equipment, the town is com- pletely covered by the Gamewell fire alarm system, consisting of 53 fire alarm boxes, 5 station house indicators and gongs, and one general alarm, all storage battery operated, and 212 latest type fire plugs are installed at the most advantageous points.


The Department answered 103 still alarms and 22 general alarms during the year. The total estimated fire loss during the year was $900.00.


STREET DEPARTMENT


On March 30, 1734, Benjamin Chambers was given a grant to take, settle, and improve 400 acres of land at the mouth of the Falling Spring and Conococheague Creek, but this tract was not sub-divided until 1764


17


when it was laid out as a town and called Chambers Town, which name was changed to Chambersburg when Franklin County was erected in 1784.


The limits of the town at that time were on the north by the Falling Spring, on the east by Second Street, on the south by approxi- mately Liberty Street, and on the west by the Conococheague Creek.


In the beginning of the 19th Century no streets had been graded or paved, although each property owner was required to maintain a walk in front of his own property. The original plan of the inhabitants was to make Second Street the principal business street, but this was changed to Main Street after considerble influence was exerted by those property owners.


Prior to 1813, the Lincoln Highway and Main Street were repaired by the Turnpike Company, by turnpiking which consisted of placing one foot of broken stone covered with gravel and clay. The first record of a contract awarded by the Borough was in 1813 to repair the Lincoln Highway and Main Street near the "Diamond."


The first covered storm sewer was built in Burkhart Avenue from Main Street to the Creek in 1823. This sewer had an inside height of 41/2 feet and width of 31/2 feet.


The extension of this form of street repairs, grading, and sewers continued with some modifications until 1912 when the present brick paving was laid and plans adopted to continue this paving four blocks each year. This plan was not followed due to the increased cost of materials.


In 1918 a general plan of macadam construction and surface oiling was adopted and the Lincoln Highway and Main Street were paved first with water-bound macadam and treated with road oil. This is the first year that a large quantity of road oil was used as a maintenance and construction material. Prior to this time oil was used as a dust preventive and partially paid for by the property owners abutting on the streets treated.


This plan was continued until 1927 and 1928, when the Lincoln High- way and Main Street were again repaved with reinforced cement concrete.


In addition to all the usual maintenance works, such as patching, oiling, sweeping and removing refuse from streets, snow removal, grad- ing, dust control, etc., the following construction work was done during 1935 :-


Projects constructed with the aid of Relief Labor :-


North Second Street between Lincoln Way East and East King 1. Street was paved with a water-bound macadam base having a P. S. H. D. Specification "E" surface. Cement concrete gutters were constructed on either side. This required 1,600 square yards of macadam and 275 square yards of cement concrete.


2. West Queen Street, from Water Street to the Conococheague Creek was widened to a 36-foot roadway and paved with 3,500 square yards of water-bound macadam, oil treated. A concrete curb, gutter, and sidewalk requiring 33 cubic yards of concrete was constructed along the north side in payment for land acquired from the abutting owners.


3. The grading of Seventh Street from Liberty Street to Catherine Street and Catherine Street from Sixth Street to Seventh Street was partially completed. Approximately 1,800 cubic yards were excavated.


18


4. A concrete box storm sewer was constructed on Second Street from King Street to Lincoln Way East, with the necessary laterals and inlets, a distance of 542 feet.


5. A concrete box storm sewer was constructed on Loudon Street from the Conococheague Creek to Federal Street, a distance of 540 feet, with the necessary laterals and inlets on Federal Street.


6. On Burkhart Avenue a concrete box storm sewer was started which will extend from the Conococheague Creek to a point near South Main Street. This sewer will replace a 24-inch terra cotta sewer which has not proved adequate for proper drainage of this area.


7. The Conococheague Creek was widened and straightened at various places and large deposits of washed materials removed. Dry masonry walls were built at curves to protect the banks. Similar work in the Falling Spring was started but weather conditions prevented its completion this year. Approximately 4,000 cubic yards were removed.


The total cost to the Borough for the above improvements was $10,505.35.

Projects completed and paid for entirely from Borough Funds :-


1. Elm' Avenue from Fourth Street to Sixth Street was paved with water-bound macadam, oil treated.


2. Fifth Avenue from Grant Street to Scotland Avenue, a distance of 4,000 feet, was surfaced with stone chips and road oil, as the initial work for a durable surface.


3. Garfield Street and several alleys in the vicinity of Fourth Street were graded and paved with macadam due to building operations in that vicinity.


4. A 24-inch concrete storm sewer was constructed across Hood Street to help relieve drainage conditions in the Cedar Grove Cemetery and on Hood Street.


5. Due to the construction of the bridge over the Pennsylvania Rail- road tracks on Wayne Avenue, it was necessary to erect a retaining wall and relocate the fence for the Chambersburg Engineering Company.


6. For the first time all alleys within a certain area, containing 3,000 square yards, were treated with road oil, and if the present plan is followed of extending this area each year, all alleys will have a bituminous surface within five years.


7. Eleven street and alley crossings were repaved with cement concrete.


8. Purchase of an electric Bituminous Concrete Mixer.


$7,469.63 The total cost of the above work was


STREET DEPARTMENT REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1935


In presenting this report of the Street Department activities during 1935, we feel it is interesting to show in addition a comparative report of the works completed during the past seventeen years. The progress in highway construction and maintenance has made necessary large ex- penditures for drainage structures and bridges.

ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT


The office of the Borough Engineer in Chambersburg was created by Ordinance approved by the Burgess and Town Council on June 14, 1909.


The Town Council appoints the Borough Engineer, and they are the judges of what assistants shall be furnished. He shall furnish all engineering for all departments unless otherwise directed by Council: To make profiles and plans of all streets, alleys, sewers, bridges, and to keep proper records of same; To have charge of all Borough property not under the supervision of the Manager of Utilities; To have general supervision over all work of the Street Department and to report monthly to the Borough Council of all works completed; To keep records of loca- tions of water, sewer, and gas pipes; To furnish and supply maps, charts, profiles, plans, specifications, estimates, data, and advice to Town Council, all committees and officers of the Borough.


PUBLIC COMFORT STATION


A Public Comfort Station was built by the Borough of Chambers- burg and the Commissioners of Franklin County in 1932 at a total cost of $10,689.03, and is maintained jointly by them. The operating costs and repairs are divided. In 1935, the costs were $907.62, of which the Borough paid $460.38. In addition the Borough furnished water and electricity to the amount of $379.35, and the County Commissioners fur- nished heat and janitor service, without charge.


Two attendants are employed and are on duty each day during the hours of operation to maintain order and keep the station in an orderly and sanitary condition.


The use made of this station has greatly exceeded the estimates made by the original promoters, and the records kept show that more than 2,000 people attended this station in one day.

PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS


Small park areas are owned and maintained on Commerce Street, Grandview Avenue, Borough Farm, Memorial Fountain, and Fountain on Glen Street, and in addition the banks of the Conococheague Creek and Falling Spring are maintained and planted by the Borough.


The playground system has been developed in five small playgrounds with Henninger Field as the center of competitive events.


Practically all the playground equipment was purchased by the citizens in the vicinity of each playground and maintained by them until several years ago the Borough accepted the responsibility of all equip- ment, maintenance, and repairs. Wading pools have been constructed on the Fifth Ward and Stevens Playgrounds. Tennis courts are pro- vided for Stevens, Fifth Ward, Buchanan, and Henninger Field. Swim- ming facilities are offered on Montgomery Avenue.


A general playground supervisor having college training directs and plans all activities and has under his direction five directors who are in attendance on all playgrounds certain hours of each day to supervise, direct, and instruct in all forms of athletic and dramatic contests. The program is planned to provide these facilities for persons from three to twenty years of age. This work is continued for twelve weeks each year. In addition to the above directors, a full time employee is in charge of Henninger Field from 7:00 A. M. to dark each day except Sunday. He makes all repairs to equipment, cuts grass, repairs ball field and tennis courts, and is in attendance at all football games and baseball games. The average daily attendance on all playgrounds was 716 during 1935, according to records kept by each director.


During 1935, an entire new fence was constructed on the southern boundary of Henninger Field and major repairs made to the bleachers and grand stand. A WPA project has not been completed for the painting of all fences and other structures.


HISTORY OF THE CHAMBERSBURG HEALTH BOARD


The first meeting of the Chambersburg Health Board was held in Council Hall, September 26, 1893. The following men-Dr. Johnston McLanahan, A. J. White, J. Brua Hoyer, and George Denton were sworn in as members by Burgess George A. Wood. Dr. John A. Bouse was appointed Health Officer.


Dr. McLanahan was elected President of the Board, which office he held until October 3, 1912.


Among the first duties of the Board were the enacting of local sanitary measures which, in conjunction with the State regulation, began functioning shortly after its inception.


The Health Board was the outcome of an Act of the General As- sembly of May 9, 1893, authorizing Chambersburg such a Board. Those who served as members of this Board until the present date are as follows :


A. J. White


Dr. John A. Bouse


Daniel O. Gehr

Mr. Lloyd succeeded Dr. McLanahan as President in 1914, there being no record from October, 1912 to 1914, and continued in this office until his death in 1932, his successor being Dr. B. M. Beattie.


The duties of the Health Board have varied with conditions of the times, but the main actions have always been the maintaining of sanitary health measures concerning the public.


The records of 1893 show considerable controversy about the keep- ing of hogs within the Borough. With the advent of the sanitary sewer, the abolishing of cesspools and the connecting of houses to the sewer gave rise to a great many problems,


Contagious diseases and their control have always been one of the chief duties of the Health Board.


Other duties are seeing that the milk supply is brought to the con- sumer in the best possible condition as a palatable, healthful product, free of preservatives or adulterations, issuing of health certificates to those who work or are employed in restaurants, drug stores, hotels, eating-houses, etc., nuisances affecting the public are corrected and the general civic conditions of the city are observed.


A main feature of the Board's activities during 1934 was the enact- ing of an ordinance prohibiting the display of food stuff on the sidewalks.


During the year 1935, the Chambersburg Health Board through its Health Officer investigated 1,386 calls, issued 359 Health Certificates to employees in places handling food stuffs within the Borough, cared for 97 common nuisances and granted 10 permits to milk dealers.


Twenty-two connections were made to the Sanitary Sewer.


Sediment testing of milk was made quarterly and the preservative test made annually.


Anyone whose milk registered unsatisfactory on two successive testings were refused the privilege of selling milk within the Borough for local distribution.


The Board meets the last Monday of each month in regular session with additional special meetings.


The members are Dr. B. M. Beattie, President, Dr. L. H. Seaton, Mr. James C. Clark, Mr. Paul Walker, and Mr. Lester Marshall.

MUNICIPAL SANITARY SEWERAGE DISPOSAL PLANT


HISTORICAL SKETCH OF CHAMBERSBURG SANITARY SEWER DEPARTMENT


When the Borough of Chambersburg decided in 1910 and 1911 to obtain its water supply from the State Forest at Caledonia, it was neces- sary to obtain a permit from the Pennsylvania State Health Depart- ment, and when the State Health Department issued this permit, it granted to Chambersburg the right to the water of Birch Run, but it also provided that, for this right, the Borough of Chambersburg was to install a Sanitary Sewerage System with a proper disposal plant of a capacity sufficient to take care of the town for twenty years to come.


The same Bond Issue, providing funds for the construction of the water supply line between the mountain and Chambersburg, provided also for sufficient bonds to put in a Sanitary Sewerage System in Cham- bersburg. This System was constructed and was put in service August 1, 1912, and has performed in a very satisfactory manner ever since. Since the initial installation, there has been another Imhoff tank con- structed at the disposal plant, as well as two additional sludge filtering beds. As the building operations developed in the town, new laterals have been run, and at the present time the entire system consists of:


LATERALS

3,099.4 feet 18"


4,014.9 feet 24"


1,631.2 feet 20" x 30" concrete


Total 15,554.3 feet


At the present time there is a total of 146,745.5 feet or 27.79 miles of sewer, 114 Flush tanks, 621 Manholes, and 2,930 buildings are con- nected with the system.


For many years this plant was considered the model plant of the State of Pennsylvania by the Pennsylvania State Health Department. There are no charges for sewer service rendered by the Borough of Chambersburg, and this is a rather outstanding achievement when you stop to think that charges for sewer service run from $8.00 to $36.00 per year in the State of Pennsylvania.


The State Health Department insists on a very high standard of quality for the effluent from the Disposal Plant, and weekly reports are made to the Department showing each day's operation.


During the year 1935, the work in this department consisted of building an 8" lateral line on South Fourth Street from Mckinley Street


26


South 361 feet to Garfield Street and the regular operation and mainten- ance. At the Sanitary Sewerage Disposal Plant, the total sewage handled amounted to 377,138,564 gallons. The total cost for the operation and maintenance of the plant during the year was $8,469.67. This makes an average cost for handling the sanitary sewage of 2.2 cents per 1,000 gallons.


REFUSE INCINERATOR


The proper disposal of Refuse in any town presents a problem of considerable magnitude, and this problem is solved by the Borough of Chambersburg by the construction of a Refuse Incinerator, which is located at the extreme northwestern edge of the Borough. This particu- lar section is rather sparsely settled and the results are that there are no complaints of obnoxious odors from the incineration of this material. The incinerating plant is simply, ruggedly built, and performs its work in a highly creditable manner. There has been a decided improvement in the appearance of the outlying portions of the Borough since this incinerating plant has been in operation, for the reason that the citizens are disposing of their refuse in this manner rather than having it blown over the neighborhood in the portion of town in which it is produced.
