books of those officers have been faithfully kept, and with a system
that cannot fail to give satisfaction to the tax payers of the city.

CHIEF ENGINEER'S REPORT.
To His Honor the Mayor, and the Board of Aldermen of the City
of Concord :
The undersigned, Chief Engineer of the Fire Department, would
report as follows :
There have been during the past year eleven fires and alarms :
May, 1856. — Fire at Fisherville ; burning of a barn.
June 2d. — Fire in the rear of B. F. Dow's buildings, West Con-
cord.
June 6. — Alarm ; caused by the burning of straw in the house of
Charles Pettingill.
July 20. — Fire on Spring and Fulton streets ; totally destroying
a double house belonging to Robert Chase, and damaging two other
cottage houses, one belonging to Mr. Chase and. the other to Mr.
Rowe.
Oct. 4. — Alarm ; occasioned by the burning of a bed in the house
occupied by Mr. Dadmun, on Walnut street.
Aug. 29. — Fire at the buildings of Jeremiah Abbot ; barn struck
by lightning and totally destroyed, together with about twenty tons
of hay, &c.
Sept. 24. — Fire at Fisherville.
Dec. 28. — Fire at the Phenix Hotel ; the building was totally des-
troyed, but a portion of the furniture was saved. The building and
furniture were partially insured.
Jan. 22, 1857. — Fire occasioned by the partial burning of the
stationary engine house at the Concord Railroad.
Jan. 23. — Alarm occasioned by the bursting of a boiler at the
steam mill of Messrs. Kimball and Clough, at which Loren A. Web-
ster was instantly killed, and Mr. Keniston seriously injured.
Feb. 1. — Fire at Philip Sargent's shop on State street; partially
destroyed.
28
The location of the Fire Apparatus belonging to the city is as
follows :
Concord, No. 2 — Located at the north end of State street, near
the Prison, and has five hundred and fifty feet of hose, all in good
condition.
Mechanics, No. 3 — Located at the south end of Main street,
near Messrs. Abbots1 Coach Manufactory, has five hundred feet of
hose in good order.
Merrimack, No. 4 — Located on Warren street, has six hundred
feet of hose in good order.
Cataract, No. 6 — Located at West Concord, has four hundred
feet of good hose, and one hundred feet of old hose.
Old Fort, No. 7 — Located at East Concord, has three hundred
feet of hose, a quantity altogether too small for an engine of that
capacity.
Pioneer, No. 8 — Located at Fisherville, has five hundred feet
of hose, all in good condition.
Hook & Ladder Co., No. 1, is located on Warren street, in the
same building with Engine Co. No. 4.
Besides the above, the city own two old engines, one at the north
end of Main street, and the other at the south end of Main street,
now occupied by young gentlemen from 15 to 18 years of age.
The various engine companies in the city have, for a long time,
been anxious to have some runners for their engines ; and recently,
by the vote of the Board of Engineers, I was instructed to procure
them, and have accordingly done so. During the recent deep
snows, great inconvenience and loss of time was experienced for
the want of them.
There has been constructed during the past year, under the su-
perintendence of the Chief Engineer and the Mayor of the city, a
reservoir on Rumford street, near the residence of Judge Minot, at
an expense of about two hundred dollars. Two other reservoirs
were ordered to be built by the City Council, one at West Concord
near the City Farm, which has been commenced but not completed,
and the other near Fayette street in Ward 6, which, owing to the
extreme wet weather, was not commenced last Fall. They will
both be finished as soon as the ground shall be sufficiently dry.
The reservoirs in the city heretofore constructed, are as follows :
29
One at the south end of Main street, near Abbot's carriage man-
ufactory ;
One near the South Church, at the intersection of Main and
Pleasant streets ;
Three in front of the State House ;
One at the intersection of Main and Centre streets ;
One opposite the Merrimack County Bank, Main street ;
One in front of J. H. George's house, Main street ;
One on State street, near Sewell Hoit's house ;
One on South street, near Daniel H. Fletcher's house ;
One on Pine street ;
One on School street, opposite S. G. Sylvester's house, near the
Unitarian Church ;
One on Main street, front of J. R. Hill's shop ;
One on State street, near Mr. Parker's house ;
One on State street;
One on the corner of State and West street ;
One on Pleasant street, opposite the house of G. H. H. Silsby ;
One on Main street near F. N. Fisk's house.
There are also several others not strictly public ; three on War-
ren street, .one in rear of Call's Block, one at the intersection of
State and Washington streets, one in Railroad Square, and various
others of small capacity.
At Fisherville, about 1000 feet from the canal, are two reservoir-s.
Notwithstanding the amount of money expended by the city in
the construction of reservoirs, still, probably, no city in New Eng-
land is so poorly supplied with water, in case of fire, as the main
village of Concord. The appropriations for reservoirs have not
kept pace with the increase of building. An appropriation each
year for one or more reservoirs is absolutely required for the public
safety ; for no matter how energetic and efficient the Fire Depart-
ment may be, without water they are compartively useless.
The entire apparatus of the Fire Department has been kept by
the stewards of the various companies, during the last year, so, that
to all appearance, they are as good as they were at the date of my
last annual report.
All which is respectfully submitted,
TRUE OSGOOD, Chief Engineer.
