At a meeting of the Burgess and Town Council held on November 12, 1940, the preparation of plans for a new market building to be loca- ted on South Third Street was authorized and on April 15, 1941, the general contract was awarded. The first market was held on November 7, 1941, in the completed structure.
23
The building is one-story, 150 feet long and 50 feet wide with a full basement. The entire construction is of concrete foundations and brick walls faced with glazed tile in the market room. Steel trusses support the roof which provides a ceiling height of twenty feet in the center and fifteen feet on the sides. Fluorescent lighting is provided for the mar- ket room, concrete walks are laid on three sides of the building, and a macadam paved parking lot to accommodate fifty cars is provided on the North side.
The Municipal Market was in operation for the full year with a large attendance at all Friday markets but with very few dealers or buyers attending the Tuesday markets, with the result that the Tuesday mar- kets were eventually discontinued.
From November, 1941, to May, 1942, there were 40 dealers renting 396 linear feet of space. From May, 1942, to November, 1942, there were 30 dealers renting 318 linear feet of space, and from November 1, 1942, to May 1, 1943, there were 28 dealers renting 318 linear feet of space, and on January 1, 1944, there were 34 dealers renting a total of 303 linear feet of space, leaving a total of 333 linear feet of space available for use. The decrease in the number of dealers attending market was to be ex- pected due to rationing, labor shortage and other wartime conditions.
The Franklin County and Borough Control Center is located in a , portion of the basement of this building and the balance of the base- ment is being used as a recreation center, mention of which will be found under report of the Playground Department.
The total cost of the Market Room and equipment was $28,686.35; the total cost of the basement was $13,500.18; making the total value of the building $42,186.53.
Operating costs of the market were as follows:
November 1, 1941, to December 31, 1942 $1,927.64
January 1, 1943, to December 31, 1943 1,506.41
Total Operating Expenses $3,434.05
Income from the rental of space to dealers was as follows:
November 1, 1941, to December 31, 1942 $2,333.75
January 1, 1943, to December 31, 1943 1,343.50
Total Receipts $3,677.25
GARBAGE AND REFUSE COLLECTION
Effective April 1, 1943, the Borough of Chambersburg acquired the business of the Chambersburg Sanitary Garbage Disposal Company. This company and another private operator were the two largest col- lectors of garbage and refuse, taking care of the majority of this work in the Borough.
In order to prevent a serious breakdown in this type service the Borough purchased this business upon the determination of the owners to discontinue operating, and, after decision of the other private collec- tors that they were not equipped and did not elect to take over this busi- ness.

INTERIOR OF MUNICIPAL MARKET
For the business and equipment of the Chambersburg Sanitary Gar- bage Disposal Company the Borough paid $4,500.00, and in addition made capital expenditures in the amount of $2,666.55 for equipment to effi- ciently conduct the business.
Under a revised ordinance adopted by the Borough Council the neces- sary rules, regulations and rates were established. Household rates are $1.00 per month for the removal of the garbage and rubbish, $1.25 per month for garbage, rubbish and ashes, provided in both cases all materials are placed on the first or ground floor of the property for col- lection; and $2.00 per month for removal of garbage, rubbish and ashes from the cellar of the property. Commercial rates are by separate con- tract, based upon amount of material to be removed.
For the nine months period, April 1 to December 31, 1943, that the Borough operated this business a total of 950 residential and 55 com- mercial customers were served. Receipts for this period amounted to $10,036.59; and maintenance and operating expenditures for the same period amounted to $9,189.76.
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 1943 the costs were $1,797.77. of which the Borough paid $898.90. In addition, the Borough furnished water and electricity in the amount of $482.62, 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 manner.
The use made of this station has greatly exceeded the estimates made by the original promoters, and the records show that more than 2,000 per- sons attended this station in one day ..
PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS
The Burgess and Town Council at the present, as well as those in the past, recognized leisure time activities and recreation as an essen- tial governmental function and have adopted a plan for expansion and improvement that will eventually provide for Chambersburg a system of Parks, Athletic Fields, Playgrounds, and Play Areas to conform to standards set by the National Recreation Association.
The playground system was started through the efforts of churches, civic organizations and citizens who together formed small associations to secure sites, equipment and voluntary supervision for play areas for small children. Much of their equipment was made by members of these associations and by funds for materials secured from festivals and con- tributions. As the value of these areas were proven, the demand for expansion increased and the Borough of Chambersburg then assumed the obligations of maintenance and operation, assisted by the various citi- zens' committees.
27
HENNINGER FIELD
The present playground program is designed for a twelve-week period during the months of June, July, and August and is under the direction of the Parks and Playgrounds Committees of the Town Coun- cil, together with the Borough Engineer, Playground Supervisor, seven girl leaders and an Athletic Director.
The playground system consists of three combination athletic fields and playgrounds and four play areas distributed over the Borough at locations as accessible as possible to the more densely populated sections.
In order to help meet the need of a year around recreational pro- gram, a Recreation Center was opened on March 1, 1943 in the base- ment of the Municipal Market Building, under sponsorship of the Depart- ment of Parks and Playgrounds. The center was open only during the winter months, on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evenings of each week from 7:00 to 9:30 o'clock. Wednesdays were kept open and practically all of these days were made use of by organizations spon- soring recreational events. The regular program of activities was under the supervision of the Supervisor of Playgrounds.
The colored asphalt tile floor, acoustical tile ceiling, painted walls, furniture and equipment, consisting of ping-pong tables, shuffleboard court, game tables, piano, combination radio and record player, etc., make a very attractive game and recreation room. The center proved very popular with more than 3,000 persons making use of its facilities according to attendance figures kept by the supervisor.
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. Johnston 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 sani- tary 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.
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.
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, eat- ing houses, etc., nuisances affecting the public are corrected, and the general civic conditions of the city are observed.
During the year 1943, 254 cases of contagious diseases were re- ported to the Board of Health. Two hundred and ninety-eight common nuisances were reported to the Board of Health, which were investigated by the Health Officer and removed or remedied. Twenty-one connec- tions were made to the Sanitary Sewer System during the year 1943.
29
MUNICIPAL SANITARY SEWAGE DISPOSAL PLANT
In addition, 5 Septic tanks were installed in the Borough of Chambers- burg. Five hundred and fifty-five Health Certificates were issued to all hotels, restaurants, drug stores, ice cream parlors, eating houses, tap rooms and all milk dealers on July 1st and on December 31st, 1943. Seven permits were granted to all milk dealers. The Health Officer made 1547 calls during the year. Nineteen permits were issued to haul- ers of garbage and refuse. During the year 1943 an average of 30 loads of refuse, etc., was received daily at the Borough of Chambersburg in- cinerator and dump, located on the Borough Farm, and was properly placed and disposed of.
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 and Secretary.
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 Sani- tary Sewerage System with a proper Disposal Plant of a capacity suffi- cient 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. As building operations developed in the town, new laterals have been run, and at the present time the entire system consists of:
LATERALS
21.805 miles 8" 6.636 miles 10" .263 miles 12" .23 miles 15" .074 miles 18"
Total 29.008 miles
31
TRUNK LINES
238.0 feet 10"
4,432.5 feet 12"
2,138.3 feet 15"
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 168,824.76 feet, or 31.97 miles of sewers, 126 Flush Tanks, 765 Manholes, and 3315 buildings are con- nected with the system.
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.
Due to the inability to procure the proper materials in sufficient quantities, on account of restrictions of the War Production Board, there were no sanitary lateral sewers constructed during the year 1943.
The total sewage handled at the Sanitary Sewerage Disposal Plant during 1943 was 481,909,229 gallons. The total cost for the operation and maintenance of the plant during the year 1943 was $16,445.81. The average cost for handling the sanitary sewage during 1943 was 3.41 cents per 1,000 gallons.
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PLUMBING INSPECTOR
During the year the Plumbing Inspector had submitted to him 99 sets of plans covering plumbing and house and building drainage for his approval. He inspected and tested the plumbing and fixtures in 9 new buildings covering 70 fixtures, and inspected and tested the soil, vent, and drain pipes in 18 new buildings covering 96 fixtures. There were 27 buildings converted into apartments, which involved approval of plans, inspection, testing and approval of 113 fixtures. There were 46 altera- tion projects, involving the approval, inspection and testing of 168 fixtures. There were 55 major repair jobs, which required the inspection and approval of 55 fixtures. The Plumbing Inspector inspected 26 drink- ing fountains, 3 vacuum breakers, 7 gas water heaters, and 480 sand trap inspections were made. All of this involved 1,065 inspection trips.
