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 waterbound 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 Highway 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 1936:


During the winter of 1936 the great snowfalls and continued sub- zero temperature required the largest program of snow removal ever attempted in Chambersburg. Also the surface damage to the streets was considerably higher than ever before.


The construction program for the year consisted of Storm Sewer construction on Burkhart Avenue, East Queen Street from Main Street eastward approximately 150 feet, Franklin Street from King Street to Miller Street; Commerce Street from Wolf Avenue to Conococheague Creek; and on Fourth Street from Wayne Avenue southward.


Macadam paving on Coldbrook Avenue from Lincoln Way south- ward 600 feet; Federal Street between Lincoln Way West and King


11


Street; East Catherine Street from Sixth Street to Seventh Street and Seventh Street from Liberty Street to Catherine Street.


On Garfield Street the concrete curb and gutter on the north side of the street was replaced and lowered to meet the grade established by the Highway Department paving constructed several years ago.


To meet the demand for the development of Catherine Street and Coldbrook Avenue a grading project was started and will have a 20 foot macadam paved roadway when completed.


The stone retaining wall on South Franklin Street along the Cono- cocheague Creek was rebuilt to conform to new grade established by the construction of a concrete sidewalk along this wall.


This work required some new equipment and a 11/2 ton truck, chip spreader, snow plow and 10 ton gasoline road roller were purchased.


STREET DEPARTMENT REPORT


FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1936


In presenting this report of the Street Department activities during 1936, we feel it is interesting to show in addition a comparative report of the works completed during the past eighteen 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 1936 showing works completed by the Street Department during the past eighteen years:

ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT


The office of the Brough 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 operating costs and repairs are divided. In 1936, the costs were $817.44, of which the Borough paid $412.75. In addition the Borough furnished water and electricity to the amount of $423.32, 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 condition.


13


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 citi- zens 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.


The playgrounds and activities are supervised by the Borough Engineer with a girl 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 con- sists of athletic activities, dramatics, hand-craft, and music. All com- petitive contests are held on Henninger Field and Buchanan Playground where two men supervise the contests.


New permanent bleachers were constructed at Henninger Field, bringing the seating capacity to 2,000 persons with portable bleachers accomodating 1,000 more.


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 ap- pointed 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 Assembly 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 E. E. Foust


Thomas K. Scheller


Dr. John A. Bouse Dr. J. J. Eckel


Dr. Guy P. Asper Dr. B. M. Beattie

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 sani- tary 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, 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 side- walks.


During the year 1936, the Chambersburg Health Board through its Health Officer investigated 819 calls, issued 417 Health Certificates to employees in places handling food stuffs within the Borough, cared for 106 common nuisances and granted 9 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 necessary to obtain a permit from the Pennsylvania State Health De- partment, 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 Chambersburg. 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 constructed at the disposal plant, as well as two additional sludge filter- ing beds. As the building operations developed in the town, new laterals have been run, and at the present time the entire system consists of:

18.285 miles 8"


6.175 miles 10"


.263 miles 12"

.074 miles 18"

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 147,806.5 feet or 27.99 miles of sewer, 114 Flush tanks, 627 Manholes, and 2,957 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.


18


During the year 1936, the work in this department consisted of building 600' of 10" lateral sewer on Coldbrook Avenue, 274' of 8" lateral sewer on Alexander Avenue, and 187' of 8" lateral sewer on Pennsylvania Avenue.


The total sewage handled at the Sanitary Sewerage Disposal Plant was 482,112,647 gallons. The total cost for the operation and mainten- ance of the plant during the year 1936 was $8,601.25. The average cost for handling the sanitary sewage during 1936 was 1.78 cents per 1,000 gallons.
