Storm Sewer Construction: The storm sewer in Cedar Grove Ceme- tery Alley was completed with the construction of 404 feet of 24-inch, and 62 feet of 12-inch concrete pipe. A 1.5 x 4.5 concrete box sewer with three, 24-inch lateral lines was constructed on South Second Street, from McKinley Street to Main sewer. To improve alley drainage, a 12-inch concrete pipe sewer was laid across the Rotz property, off of Reservoir Street.


STREET DEPARTMENT REPORT


FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1940


In presenting this report of the Street Department activities during 1940, we feel it is interesting to show in addition a comparative report of the works completed during the past twenty-two years. The progress in Highway construction and maintenance has made necessary large expenditures for drainage structures and bridges.


Comparative report of streets, alleys, sewers, bridges, as of 1918 and 1940, showing works completed by the Street Department during the past twenty-two years:

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 locations 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 operation costs and repairs are divided. In 1940 the costs were $1,653.17, of which the Borough paid $870.68. In addition, the Borough furnished water and electricity to the amount of $625.70, and the County Commissioners furnished 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 manner.


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 persons 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 at the Fountain on Glen Street, and in addition the banks of the Conococheague Creek and the Falling Spring are maintained and planted by the Borough.


The playground system has been developed in seven playgrounds, namely, Buchanan, Cedar Avenue, Fifth Ward, Henninger Field, Loudon Street, North End, and Stevens, with Henninger Field as the center of competitive events.


Practically all 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 equipment, maintenance, and repairs. Wading pools have been constructed on the Fifth Ward and Stevens Playgrounds. Tennis courts are provided for Fifth Ward and Buchanan Playgrounds, as well as at Henninger Field.


The playgrounds and activities are supervised by the Borough Engineer with a general supervisor and a director at each playground. The programs are designed to have all presentations of activities as a unit, rather than on a competitive basis. The program continues for twelve weeks and consists of athletic activities, dramatics, handcraft, and music. All competitive contests are held at Henninger Field and at the Buchanan Playground Athletic Field where two men supervise the contests.


During the summer of 1940 the Borough Playground Department sponsored ten band concerts with the American Legion Junior Band and the Chambersburg High School Band, each playing five concerts. Two of these concerts were held in the evening at Henninger Field, and were well attended by a large number of people. The balance of the concerts were given on the Court House Plaza on Memorial Square.


During the summer of 1940, the Borough Playground Department also sponsored, in conjunction with the Northeastern Branch of the Christian Endeavor Union of Franklin County, two Community Hymn Sings which were held at Henninger Field. These hymn sings proved to be a great success. It was estimated that between 2,800 and 3,000 persons attended each of these hymn sings. In December of 1940, the Borough Playground Department, the above named Christian Endeavor Union, and the Chambersburg High School Band sponsored a Christmas


20


HENNINGER FIELD


Community Hymn Sing, which was held at the High School. This event was attended by more than 1,000 persons.


The use of Henninger Field has been increasing each year, for both the playground activities and baseball, as well as special events held, such as band concerts, hymn sings, and other entertainments of that nature. The estimated attendance at these special events alone was more than 13,000. More than 2,700 were estimated to have attended the playground baseball games held at Henninger Field. The total daily attendance of all playgrounds for the year was approximately 46,600, exclusive of the attendance noted above at special events, as compared with 40,600 during the year 1939.


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 McLanhan, 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. Johnston McLanhan 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, be- gan 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:


Dr. Johnston McLanhan H. A. Logue Thomas K. Scheller


A. J. White


E. E. Foust Dr. Guy P. Asper


Dr. John A. Bouse Dr. J. J. Eckel Dr. B. M. Beattie


Daniel O. Gehr Dr. Paul D. Allen J. W. Rearick


Dr. Helen Stewart Morris Lloyd


C. P. Miller


Paul Walker W. O. Nicklas


George K. Lehner Herman Kraiss


J. Brua Hoyer Jacob G. Schaff


Capt. W. H. Mackey Milton G. McDowell Dr. L. H. Seaton


Daniel Harmony


T. C. Karper


George F. Arris


Dr. H. M. Miley


George Denton H. A. Kottcamp W. L. Ritchey James C. Clark F. Lester Marshall


Mr. Morris Lloyd succeeded Dr. Johnston McLanhan 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 keeping 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,


22

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.


During the year 1940, the Chambersburg Health Board, through its Health Officer, investigated 1,040 calls, issued 530 Health Certificates to employees in places handling food stuffs within the Borough, cared for 154 common nuisances, granted 9 permits to milk dealers, and issued 56 permits to haulers of garbage and refuse. Seventy-eight cases of contagious diseases were reported to the Board during the year 1940.


Eighty 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 test- ings 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. John B. Minehart, Mr. Paul Walker, Mr. F. Lester Marshall, and Mr. Frank J. Croft, Health Officer.


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 Department, 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:

Total 15,554.3 feet


At the present time there is a total of 165,857.76 feet, or 31.41 miles of sewers, 122 Flush Tanks, 748 Manholes, and 3,200 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 1940, requests were received from property owners for ex- tension of the Sanitary Sewer Service for a total of 3,304' of 8" street lateral sewers. In addition to these requests, we had a carry-over pro- gram from 1939 of 540', which made a total of 3,844' to be constructed in 1940. Of this amount 3,034' were completed, leaving 810' for con- struction during 1941. With what was left of the construction program of 1940, and additional requests for sewer extensions, it would appear as if there would have to be constructed in 1941, 2,710'. Of the total construction work completed in 1940, 540' was done under W. P. A. Projects on which the Federal Government furnished all of the labor, while the Borough furnished all of the materials and equipment.


The total amount spent for labor, trenching, and backfilling, by the Federal Government on 540' of lateral sewers, constructed under W. P. A. Projects during the year, was $1,599.66.


The sewers actually constructed in 1940 were as follows:


South Sixth Street


190' of 8" lateral sewer


South Fifth Street


362' of 8" lateral sewer


South Coldbrook Avenue 354' of 8" lateral sewer


Lortz Avenue 413' of 8" lateral sewer


Stanley Avenue 837.5' of 8" lateral sewer


Nelson Street


540' of 8" lateral sewer


South Seventh Street


338' of 8" lateral sewer


Total


3,034.5'


The total sewerage handled at the Sanitary Sewage Disposal Plant during 1940 was 449,831,610 gallons. The total cost for the operation and maintenance of the Plant during the year 1940 was $14,157.68. The average cost for handling the sanitary sewage during 1940 was 3.15 cents per 1,000 gallons.
