ANNUAL REP.RT OF STREETS AND PUBLIC PRfJPERTY C8MMITTEE

His Worship the Mayor and IVlembers • .A Council, Town of Dartmout1h, Nova Sco.t~a.

Gentlemen: J have Ithe honor to sub.mit my reP9rt as Chairman of

the St ree ts and Public Prope rty Committee for the year 1938.

Snow Removal-As t,here was very littJle snow during 1938, t·he plows were oniy used on two or three occas.ions. Of Ithe .total amount $593.33 spent for snow removal O\'er 50% was for putting ashes on icy stJreets and sidewalks and cl earin g crossings and gutters and (rom around .hydrants. Hauling SIlO W away from Portland and Commercial Streets was no t necessary.

Stone Crusher-T he C('usher was in oper<l!tion as requil'ed irom .July 2nd . to October 8\Jh. cruShing 1922.33 tons at a cost-of $1.26 per ton including sinking fum:! , inte rest and insu rance premiums. i\'fain.tenance costs were considerably 10\\'er than la st year.

Macadam and Asphalt Treatment-As in t,he past the policy of the Committee has beDn to add year by year to t-he mileage of hard sunfaccd streets. Provided drainage ,has been aNended to, t,he basis of all good roadwoflk .is 'haNI crushed stone \\"e1\ compact-ed and having the surface sealed to pren!nt the ent'ranee of water. Tn applying Asphalt as it seal coat the greater -the penetraticm. among t·he particles of stone the greater will -be the res istance to disintegration by tohe wear and tear of traffic.

Asphalt pavements are developed in various ways; such as. plant mix, road mix, pentration and spraying. llhe costs vary, spraying being the cheapest. On account of the limited amount a \railable for street work \\'e are compelled

to use vhe spraying method in order to distribute tahe money as fa r as .possible. The demand for st-reet improvements from all sect ions of tlhe Town makes it difficult to do as mlloh macadamiz ing as one ' .... ou ld like ,before applying the asphalt; on the orhe r ha.n.d if morc macadam is laid than can be asphalt treated, t·he roads wear out and blow 3\\"ay

as dust. This is a waste of money and a great inconvenience to the people ,in the oncighborhood.

During the year about $1500 was spent on macadamizing as iollows: Dahlia St" Maple to Beech St.; School St.; vVindmill Road to Wyse Road; Sih'cr's Rd.; at Hawthorne St.; Chu rch St., King to Wentworth St.; Green St.; Best St., Windmill Rd. to Fairbanks St., and l\·lo tt St.; W indmi ll Road to Fairbanks Street.

,These streets were sprayed willh uwo coats of asphalt and twenlt}'*scnm other streets were re--sprayed. Com* mercia l Street from Portland Saeet to Synott's Hill was specially t reated to fill the cracks and renew the life of the asphalt. A total of 20,428 gallons of asphalt was used ('overing 4.9 miles of stree t of which 1.5 miles were new work.

Concrete Curbs, Gutters and Sidewalks.-Petitions for concrete curbs, gutters and s idewalks were received from property OWT1a s on t.he fo llowing streets: Curb and Gut* te r Plea,s..nt st reet, \Vest side, Tupper to Boundary St.; Tlhi st le street, North side , Victoria Rd. to Pine St.; Crich* ton Ave, \Vest side, Cleveland Crescent to Far.m Road; Fairbanks street \Vest side, Mott to Best Street.

Sidewalk only-Pleasant St. East side. Motts Lane to Old Ferry Road.

As all the petitions were signed by .property owners representing O\'er 50% of I'he frontage, toile Counci l decided to proceed with the work and obtain the a.pproval of tlhe Departmen.t of Municipal Affairs. The approval of rhe

Department also covered au~hor:ity to complete curbs and gutters on D<Lwson st reet, bOoth sides. By -dhe time approval was Ifeceived t·he season was well advanced and we were ollily able to co mplete Pleasant s treet from Tupper to Boundary St. and Dawson St. except the block on the nortlh side from Blig;h ItO Dawson St. The o ther streets will becomplCJtoo as soo n as weather com:1itions will permit.

Street Cleaning.- This wonk was carried on by John J. Thompson as in previous years . Owi,nlg to increasing t·raffic and extension oi concrete c-unbs and .gutters the work is IIlcreasmg. I t was necessary to give Mr. Thompson some assistance at .tlime'S of greatest traffic. Inoreasmg civic pride on the part of t·he citizens 1S creati-ng a greater demand for dean streets and is consequently increasing the cost of t,he service.

Dumps.---,The disposal of ganbage, cans and rub.bish present s a difficult problem j'n every oommunity, and requires the co-operation of <the citizens in o rder to carry it out with any degree of suc-cess without ,being expensive. T wo dumps, '<l.S centrally Jocated as ·possrble, w.ere maintained during the yea r. Un for.tunately a lange :nllmber of citizens do ·not take advarutage of the authorized dumps and dispose of gallbage in vacant fields j'llI liheir neigh·bour,hood making these places u·nsightly and causing extra expense in cleaning up. An edllcat'ive .program in the .matter wou ld be of grea,t assi s.tance.

General.-Beside the spring and au.tumn cleaning of Catch Pits, t-he summer deani.n~ of gut.ters and repairs to streets and s idewalks, catch pits, gutters, dmins and gratings are frequcnt-ly inspected and deaned in order to avoid damage during stormy weather periods.

Gentlemen:

I have Ilhe ho no r to submit my reporl as Ohairmam of the Water and Sewer Committee for t-he year 1938.

'I'he outstanding event was the installation of a Chlorinating Plant, near rthe water su pply inlet at Lake Lamont. Early in the year com plaint s were receiv'Cd of a fi shy taste in the water. At the same t ime the presence of large Rocks o f gulls at t-he ;;upply Lakes was reported. Investigation sho wed fish manure from the surrounding ,farms was being carried by th e gulls to ihe lakes. \Vater tests showed contamination due to among many, the following causes.

I. Lo w water during winter followed .by 'high water in t'he Spring, wash ing foreign matters from the sho res into the Lakes.

2. Several ,inlets bringi llig in drainages from farms. 3. Culver;t;; through f';resto n ·highway carrying drain

age from highway into Topsai l Lake. 4. Gull s depositing robten fi sh into lakes. The health officer advised the citizens to boil water for

drinking purposes and reported to Council cl1e danger of an outbreak of Typhoid fever and strongly advocated Ch lorinatio n.

T he Cou nci l decided ,to install a Ghloninatio n Plant and applied to bhe Department o f Municipal Affairs for permiSSio n. The Department approved of the scheme subjrd to ratification by the Ratepayers. A favorable vote was recei"ed on July 8th., tenders called on J uly 14th, and a cont ract awarded to \Vallace & Tiemam for an Automatic P,roportioning V isible Vacuum T ype Ohlorinator with dup-

licate hydrau li c pumps, VervtlUri tube and flow indicator. A suitable bu ilding was erected and the plant went into operation on October 3r<l.. On October 6th. water coming into To wn was iound to be free of contami nation.

Due to some cri ticism which occured at the time of the Royal T,heatre fi re on King St., and statements that the installatoion of the Ventu ri tube has seriously effected the water supply, it ,may be well to c:"(piain uhe nature and lun ct ion o f th is tube.

,T he Ventu ri Law states that a fluid flowing through a conical pipe oi g radually diminishing cross area loses head or pressure as it gains in \'c!ocity, and vice nrsa when flowi ng through a gradually expanding pipe or cone it loses speed as it gains in head or pressure . This fact is said to have bee n known to the an cient Roman hydraulic engmecrs, It \\ as howc\'c r fir st establ ished o n a sc ien tific basis b," \ 'ell turi in Ji%, This tube is now made fo r water mains, fo rms a part of the pipe line, It is as stated conical shaped wi th a perfectly smoot h bore causing no interrupt ion to th e su]>ply. It is placed ill water mains fo r measurement purposes, as due 10 the absence of any mo\-ing part s it gi\"(~s an extrcmcJy accu rate record o f th e flo w, T he tube in scrt'Cd in the T o wn 's 'XJ" l\lain at the Chlorinatio n ho u:.e was supplied by \Yallace & Tiemam world k,oown Manu iact urers of Chlo rination Systems and was made and desig ned for th em by the hydraul ic Engineers of th e Sim plex \ ';\ I\'c and i\ lcter Co. Since the fire this company ha s checked their calcula tions and has assured us tha t t·he design is correot and tJlat the Venturi tube ins talled wi ll not effect or curtail the flo w a nd that 1'he flow at rhe time of the fire, 1.9OJ,0J0 I mperial gallons pe r day, "ne drop in pressure wo uld amount to less than 4 inohes of water head,

ANNUAL REPORT .9

Ullde nwriters sellt a r e.presentative to c.tr;ry out hydrant t'ests ill uhc vicii rJty of t·he Gre and in scatlered sections of the Town. :rilis was done shortly after the fire. ·"These test s showed a slight change in pressure since the "-ests of 1923. (\ny change in any 0:11{" sect ion of If.he Town could have been caused by the increase in domestic demand where an increase in ho using has taken place. " The report goes on \0 state that "tests made at the hydrants which were in t:se during the fire would indicate that an amount o i water suc.h a'i was Jemanded from the mains wilhin the fire area would overtax th~ capacity of rhe 10 inch main feeding that section of bhe T own." 1t is furthe r stat~d

that "the quantity of water used at \Jh e time of fire plus the norm:tl domesti c supply di.d not over !<LX t'he 20 inlCh mam or become restricted by the installation of the Venturi tube."

The report o f the Board oi Fire Underwriters makes \".arious suggestio ns and recommendations regarding imprO\ >ement s in the water supply system to insure u.nint errupted supply and greater volume for fire prolootion in the l\lercantile districts. This will involve duplication of and increase in the num.ber of mains. ] t mu st be kept ill mi nd that a large part of ou r distribution !<ystem ,has been in li se for almost fifty years and that aside from the increase in populatoion, ltihe ra\'ages of time have beNl reduc ing the c.'pacity of the mains. In additio n to these improvements we will sooni be faced with the problem of supply for the highe r elevations in It'he Town.

HEALTH OFFICER'S REPORT FOR YEAR 1938

Hi s Worsh ip ~he Mayor and IHembers of Town Council, T own of Dartmout'h.

Your Worship:~ Tlhe heait'h of tlhe town for the past year has been very

good. T.herc were no houses under quaran tin~ during the yea r.

The outstanding feature o f the year was th e installation of a "Chlorine Plant" on the water supply. There had been gross conta.minatiOln' of (-he water suppl y evidenced in our dri nking wa ter and numerous samples taken at va rious point s bot'h at vhe lakes and taps Tcyca\ed large number of colon bacilli present, whi c.h is an i'odex oj contaminat ion . 'Phis wa.s me.t by aclYice to users to boil Lhe wa.ter as a temporary measure and ch lorin ation \\"35 recomm ended. By a \'o te of the ratepayers it was decided to do tJh is and a plant was in.stal!ed, sin ce which t ime colon bacilli ha'-e been entir<11y absent in e"ery sample taken irom the taps and \-<'s ted by the P rovincial Laboratory.

A bad taste in the water caused by algae, a low fonm o i plant life, was corrected by copper sulphate.

\ Ve now hayc a water supply second to none in taste a.n.d safety.

l'\'fany calls to inspections of wells , drains and food supplies ha\'e been attended wi th the helpful assistance of Ohief Lawlor who is ready to cooperate.

ANNUA L REPORT

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS

To rhe Ratepayers o f Dantmouth, I.adies and Gentlemen:

65

It is a pleasure for me to submit my first r eport as Chai r.man of the Dartmo uth School Board for the year 1938.

'jlhe educational activities relating to <t he public schools were conducted and managed in a sp lendid way and tlhis is amp ly supported by we encouraging results obtained. The Darlmo utlh School Board and the cit izens in general have e\·-cry reason, J feel, to be proud of 'fhe high standard of efficiency wihich marks the teaching staff, all under the capab le direct ion and leadership of the superv;sor, G. C. Be,17.ley, and his assistMlltS.

Several ma.tters of vital importance and concern to the future edu ca.t ional advancement of rhe Dar,tmoutih Public Schools were considered by the Board during t he past year and with a great deal of success, 'tIhe way being paved fo r lohe successfu l conc\usio:n) of many of these undertakings during the forthcoming year, a nd in years to come. The Board was successful .in carrying out many desired im· provements and in adjusting certain unrlesirable features \\'hidh make fo r a much happier relationsh ip between \lhe manage ment and the teaching sta ff.

A new schedule of salaries affecting tlhe members of ,me Jt~n.ior High and the Hig;h School was put in to effect pro\'iding for antomatic increase to reaCh the ma..ximum in all cases by the end of 1940.

Consideration was also gh'en by <the Board during the year to the important question of prov id ing additonal school accom'modation. In spection made by all the mem· bers of Lthe Board showed tltat there was great need fOT

more accommodat ion and fhat V ictoria School should be replaced by a modern building as it was considered unfit

and unsafe for 50'hool purposes. :Many tlh ings were found about the o ld Vie toni a Sahool whi ch offe r hazards to the :: hil drcn in case of fire It was the confi rmed opinion of !hc Board ullat it would be again st all economic principles to spend money fo r improvements and repa irs to Victoria Sohoel in ,-jew of its physical condit ion . Independt'JT1It of this, howe vcr, the build ing is not suilab ly located and does not pro,- ide proper or sat isfaotory playg round accornmocla'lion fo r bhe ohild ren and furt her, the buildi'fllg does not offe r adequate accommodn.tion for the number oi ch il dren enrol1ed. All the cl asses a rc heayily o,"crcro\\"ded, milita ti ng against gi'"ing the ch ildren the educationa l ad,-·antages to which t.hey arc elntitled . T he teaching staff ha s bccn wo rking under se rious and hea ,·y handicaps in the iaiohful periormance of the ir duties.

II is hoped that the new rear will crystalize plans for the erec t ion of a modern building on an ideal site. which will nOt onl~' take care of the ch ildren now enrolled in Victo ria Sohool, but will pro,·ide accommodation for some ch ildren, at present enrolled at Park School .

The Cha irman of the ,·anous Committees oi the Board de,·otcd a great deal of time to their respecli'·e respons ibilities, and. as a result , they must be gi,·en credit fo r carrying Ollt ma ny desir:tble impro,·ements. E specia lly is this true in cOlln ~Gt ion ,,·i\h the heating oj the ' ·'arious build ings . The in s ta.llatioll of automat ic stokers has not on ly given increased c!Ticiency in heating arrangements but has eflected a substant ial s,l\~ing in t!he cos t of fuel.

The Boa rd also discussed during the rear a possible cha nge in the curriculum, ofleri·ng constru ct iye critici sm in ulis respect with a view of dhanges being eventually made \,"bich ,\·,i11 betler fit the Sllldent for his fut ure calling in liie. There is lil,tle doubt bu t that improvement and radical

ANNUAL REPPR~ 67

changes can be effected which will prove beineficial to nbe stludents.

Careful consideration has also been gi\'en by tJhe Board, on recommendations of ·rhe Supervisor, witlh regard to recreational pursuit s, and in llhis respect it has been. noted that the Supe.l'visor and his assistants ha\"(~ embal'ked upon a progressi\'e and profitable field of sport aot ivities, all helping materially to maintain and increase .the interest of the ~tudCillltS in their work.

About rhalf a century ago a banking system was estab!ished in the public schools whereby each chiJd iflJ certain grades was privileged 10 deposit with t'he teacher so mtlch ~l1o.ne.v each week T his banking plan, while little attention has been gin'_n to it by the general public ,has pro\'ed to be a fine il1 st iluiliol1, MiCouraging thrift and helping out many lamilif'S Il'hen the deed was greatest. Unfortunately tlhe s)"stcm has not been encouraged to the extent that I think it merit s. The bank ing syste.m is c<Yll'ducted through the Bank of :-..ront Scot ia and at the end of the year there was a balance of $2,904.26, compared to a balance of $9,945.39 in 1932. There is 110 doubt but that itlhe big difference between tlhe balance in 1938 <lind 1932 is due to the fact that many of the parents fou nd it necessary to \\'ithdraw sal·~ngs to help them "'0 meet contingencies which arose during the past fel\, years, As one educ,atidnalist put it, "Today one does not prac.t ise thri ft, one ·has to be thrifty."

The students have won many honors for tJhe public sc hools in ,-ario us fields during the year. Keen interest has been and is beilnig maintained in gardening, Last year thousands of packages of flower seeds were distributed free to the children through the generosity of the newly organized Dartmouth Amateur Gardeners Association. The c-hildren were enthusias t ic over the new I'enture and were able to make a gratifying showing in the first flower show


held under the allspic~s of the Board. The shield for gardening was won by Pa rk School.

There has been a great improycmcot im singing in all the schools and the Dalhousie shield for rhe high school <,honlS was won by the High School. The cup for the sw imm ing championship wa s also won by the High School.

l 'h (' ,health of the ohildren during the year was well main tained. T he scare of a smallpox epidemic created an unprecedented demand for \"acoinations wi th the resu lt that ov-er OCO chi ldren were ,-accinated as compared to the usual a\'erage of 150.

One of the pressing needs s ideration is the construction properly equipped. Whether

whi oh calls ior early conoi a modem gymnasium, it \\"Quld be possible to

incorporate a gymnasium in one of the present schools is doubtful. Thc id eal way of course, would be to erect an independen t unit for this purpose. although it may be possible to include it in such a unit which would provide for manual t rain ing and domestic scie.nce . The demand for these two new dcpartme.nts was experienced during the year, but due to lack of finan ces the Board ,,-as not in a position to makc :lJny progress. J t is one of thc new progrcssi\·c idcas which e\-entually must be considered by the Board with a vicw to some definite action being taken.

I n concl usion I wi sh to extend my deep and sincere appreciation to the members of the Board Mld also to the Supc,,·isor and c\'Cry member of the teaching staff who so generously cooperated in the important and responsible adrnini~!ralion of school affairs, with a request that the; !<ame generous consideration be extended durmg the year 1939.

A. C. Pcttipas, Esq., Chairman, Board of Schoo l Commissioners,

Dartmouth, N. S. Dear Sir;

The following is a report of the school ''''Qrk for the year 1938:

The annual physical examination has been giYcn in fou r schools, from Grade 1 to 6 inclusi\"'e, by school doctor and 1 wo nurses.

We assisted Dr. Payzant, the school doctor, vaccinating 65 1 pupils, a much la.rger number than in previous years.

The children were weighed and examined fo r communicable diseases. pe rsonal cleanliness a.nd physical defects.

Fi,'c hundred and sixty nine notices were sent to parents for deJects found. This was 180 less than last year, sho win g cafrections are slowly bcind made. .

One hundred and eighty nine home schools yisits were made to most urgcnt cases.

\Vc st ill ha\'c a large number untrcated which need attcntion. mostly in familics of limited incomes and very little to spcnd on tonsi ls. tee th and throat.

E-ighty-seycn \'isit ,; were made to schools. Onc hl1ndred and twcnty-eight hours were spent i.n

school work. Forty-eight childrcn were excludcd for skin and 5C..1.1p

disease. Respectfully submitted,

- DARTMOUTH HOUSING COMMISSION

His Worship tlhe Mayor and Members of the Dartmouth Town Council. •

Ge ntl cme~ :-On behalf of the Dartmouth Housing Commissio n I beg to sub,mit the following report for bhe year 1938.

During the year, E state o f C. R. Mosher, Capt. E. A. Lavallie, C. A. Roberts, Clyde Teasdale and W. F. Chaneton, paid the balance due the Commission and the properti es have been transferred to them.

Tihe Commission found it iIlccessary to re.-possess No. 77 Rose Street and No.9 Maple Street. The Comml$5oio n wOllld like to d.ispose of the properties either for cash or o n telims.

The Co mmission was able to effect negoti·ations whereby ,th e Misses Bea zley has signed an agreement to purchase No. 11 l\'1 aple St reet o n the usual temns and payments. 'Phe pa st year has sho wn a general improvement in the payment o f in stallments, ne\'(~rtheless there are some householders w'ho are apparent ly finding it impossible to keep up the payment s, and there may be no alternat ive but for the Commissio n to take over cerl'ain properties in the near future.

Commissioners J. '-V. Payzant and A. T. Croft sen t in th eir resignations during the year, and your Coun\Cil appointed Mr. Harrison Cann and Lieut John Gully to fill the vacancies.

Mr. V . M. DeVan was appointed Chairman' and Mr. A. E . Hyde, Vice-ChaiIiITlan of the Commission.

The books of lite Commissio n have been audited by Major H. D. Creig hton ,C.A., to the 31st December, 1938 and found correct.

branch of Lhe service showed substantial increases o\"er the prc\<lous year and nOI\\'ith standing the extension of ferry se rvice during the year, the ope rat ing expenses were do wn $2,304.98 from the prc\'ious yea r. A special Traffic Commiltec wa s appoint ed during the year and charged with the responsibility of regul atin·g and maintaining boat sd:edules, whic~ I fec i ha s rC5ulted in a morc .:'atisi:>.cto ry sen ";cc to the ferry patrons.

The revenue from sales of \"chicular and pedestrian tickets was $188,1 29.02, an in crease of $5,91 i.21 o\'cr the previous year.

Ope ra.t~n,g profit for t.he year was $33,099.98 and after charg ing off depreciation amounting to ~14,376.00 and paying the usual grants of :;;500.00 each to the V ic to rian Order o f Nmscs, the Natal Day Committee and ~100.00 to the Dartmouth Read ing Room, ~1,664.37 superannuat ion to retired employees and ~1 ,CXX>.00 to Sinking Fund Resen'c, the net profit stood at :;;14,939.61 as co.mp."lred wi th $9,495.83 for the previous year.

The pay roll fo r the year \\'as ~92,753.57, an increase of $2,665.48 over 1937. This increase is due almost entirely to the eX'tra se n'ice proyided.

During the year your Commission has giHn serious cons ideratio n to urgent requ irements of the ensu ing se\'eral years, i. e. the rearrangement of the Dartmouth docking fa cilities and the purchase of a new boat to replace the forty-three year old Chebucto. Regarding the latter project, it is proposed t-11at when the Chebucto goes o n the

In accordance with Section 126 of Chapter 56 of the Acts of 1902, $10,000.00 was paid oyer to the Town of Dartmouth.

Detailed statistics may be obtained from a study of the Fina.m::ial Report, which will be incorporated in the Annual Repof't of the Town of Dartmouth.

DARTMOUTH PARK COMMISSION

To the i\layo r and Danmouth To wn Council.

Gent lemen :

By the unanimous \ute o f th e fui! Park Commission in l\'lay 1938, a po rtion of park at th e corne r of Park Avenue and Commercial s treet. \ras given O'"c r to the town for the purpose o f buil din g a swimming and wading pool for the children o f Dartmouth.

Fifty Sco tch Pi ne trees were donated to the Park Commission by ) I r. Cote and they were transplatcd on the top of the hill by the SU.Illmer hOllse and are doing welL

T hi s spring we will ha,"c to transplant about 100 Scotch Pine tfees th at WCfC p lanted too close together by the sc hool chil dren about t\\'o y ears ago.

The lI sual wo rk during the summer wa s carried out in the way o f keeping the roads built up as bes t we cou ld, painting the summer house, and be nches and signs on the roads, and placing some ne\\' oncs, cutting brush and grass and cleaning up rubbish and can s, etc. , thro wn in the park by our citizens.

A park keeper ,,-as on duty e"ery day iro m 1\lay 15th to Augu st 18t h. He should be kept on duty until Labor Day was oYcr. But on account of the small grant from the TaWil Council for park act i"ities thi s could not be done.

The roads in the Pa rk arc in a disgraceful co ndit ion a.n.d ha"e been for years.

\Ve sho uld do a small por tion of road work each year "ntil all the roads in the park arc completed, In this way it "'auld IlOt be so ha rd on the tax payers .
