CHIEF ENGINEER'S REPORT.
To His Honor the Mayor > and the Board of Aldermen of the City
oj Concord :
In conformity with my duty as Chief Engineer, I would respect-
fully submit the following report : —
There have been during the past year, or since the first of last
June, fourteen fires and alarms, as follows:
June 18. — Fire at Fisherville ; burning partially an out-building
Connected with the factory. Loss, $50-00. Covered by insurance.
Sept. 6. — Fire on the Concord Railroad, near the gas house,
burning partially one car load of wood. Supposed to have been
set on fire by one of the engines on the road.
Sept. 9. — False alarm given at the north end of Main street, by
some person unknown.
Oct. 12. — Alarm caused by the partial burning of a lot of ties
or sleepers on the Northern Railroad, above the Free Bridge road.
Supposed incendiary.
Oct. 28. — Fire at the north end of Main street, burning a barn
belonging to Mr. F. N. Fiske. Damage, $500. Insured for $200.
Supposed incendiary.
Oct. 31. — Fire on the Fair Ground, at the south end of South
street, burning a shed and partially burning a lot of boards stored
in the shed, belonging to Mr. Nathaniel White. Damage about
$200. Incendiary.
Nov. 2. — Fire on Monroe street, burning a house belonging to
Mr. Loammi Gould. Damage, $500. Supposed incendiary.
Nov. 16. — Alarm caused by the partial burning of a pile of ties
or sleepers on the Northern Railroad, near the Steam Mills of the
Messrs. Holt. Supposed incendiaiy.
Dec. 10. — Fire burning the stable back of the Union Hotel, be-
longing to Mr. B. F. Dunklee. Damage, $650. No insurance.
Accidental.
Dec. 11. — Fire in No. 2 engine house, extinguished without a
general alarm by Mr. Roby and others who were in the house at
the time. Cause, defect in the chimney.
Dec. 16. — Fire in the rear of the Elm House, burning the stable
belonging to William M. Carter, and used by Mr. Foster, the pro-
prietor of the Elm House, and Mr. John Neally. Damage about
$200. Incendiary.
39
Dec. 17. — False alarm caused by the carelessness of the mes-
senger sent to notify the foreman of No. 3 to come with 20 or 30
of the company to extinguish the burning hay which had assumed a
dangerous appearance in the ruins of Mr. Carter's stable.
Dec. 27. — Fire between State and Main street, burning the shop
and stable of Mr. John Chandler. Damage, $600. Supposed in-
cendiary.
There was also a slight fire on the Concord Railroad, which was
extinguished by Company No. 3, without giving a general alarm.
The fire apparatus of the city is located as follows :
Concord, No. 2. — Near the State prison, at the North end of
State street ; has 550 feet of hose, in good repair. No. of mem-
bers 60.
Merrimack, No. 3. — Near Abbott's Coach Factory, south end
of Main street ; has 500 feet of hose in good repair. No. of mem-
bers 60.
Pennacook, No. 4. — On Warren street ; has 500 feet of hose in
good repair. No. of members, 60.
Cataract, No. 6. — At West Concord ; has 400 feet of good
hose, and 100 feet of old hose. No. of members, 40.
Old Fort, No. 7. — At East Concord, has 300 feet of hose in
good repair. No. of members, 40.
Pioneeer, No. 8. — At Fisherville ; has 500 feet of hose in good
order. No. of members, 50.
Hook and Ladder, No. 1. — Is located in the same building with
Engine Company No. 4, on Warren street. No. of members, 50.
There are also two old engines belonging to the city ; one at
the north, (No. 1,) the other, (No. 5,) at the south end, in the hands
of young gentlemen from 15 to 18 years of age. These small en-
gines, in many places in the city can, and no doubt will, do good
service.
For the location of reservoirs I would refer to the Chief Engineer's
report of 1857 and 1858. We have found it necessary during the
past season, owing to the streets being raised, to raise the mouths
of a number of the reservoirs, and cement them ; we have also
taken from the one near Mr. F. N. Fisk's house, some five feet of
clay. There are others which should be cleaned out. The reser-
voir near the South Church was drained in about 15 or 20 minutes,
at Mr. Chandler's fire. We are of opinion that a drain running from
Messrs. Clough and Coming's Block, and near that reservoir, must
have injured it very much.
The places where reservoirs are most needed at this time, in the
opinion of the Board of Engineers, are as follows : A reservoir is
needed very much indeed on the hill, near Mr. A. B. Holt. There
is located in that vicinity one hundred thousand dollars worth of
taxable property, without any protection in the shape of a reservoir,
40
in case of fire. The Board of Engineers have received estimates
showing that a reservoir of sufficient capacity to supply two engines
for two hours, could be built and supplied with water for $475 or
$500 ; and they are of opinion that one should be built as soon
as possible. They would also recommend that one be built at the
corner of Spring and Centre streets. A reservoir is very much
needed in Fisherville, on the hill west of the village. A plank res-
ervoir could, in the opinion of the Board, be built tor 100 dollars,
and perhaps less, and the citizens will supply it with water without
any expense to the city. The Board recommend the building of
one in that place.
With regard to the sum paid annually to the firemen, the Board
would recommend that it be paid in instalments of 17 cents per
month, for the time they belong to the company, to avoid difficul-
ties which exist at the present time with regard to their pay.
I would tender my sincere thanks to the Board of Engineers for
their prompt and efficient aid on all occasions. I would do the
same also to all the firemen composing the different companies ;
they have done their duty on all occasions with promptness and ef-
ficiency.
The apparatus has been kept by the stewards of the different
companies to the entire satisfaction of the Board of Engineers.
All which is respectfully submitted.

partment at the present time :

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
[For the year ending Jan. 27, 1859.]
A good measure of prosperity has attended the City Library, du-
ring the past year. Its records show a good number of subscribers,
and tbe books upon its shelves have been sought with an avidity that
attests the indispensableness of the institution to supply the intellec-
tual wants of our community. The usefulness of the library haa
been somewhat hindered by the lack of means to supply it with
many books, the possession of which is desirable. However, the
Trustees have attempted to make the most of the means at their
disposal, and have, from time to time, made such additions to the
Library, as were most imperatively demanded.
During the past year, 410 volumes have been added by purchase,
and 76 by donation. The total number of volumes now in the Li-
brary is 2778. Of these 2162 volumes are for general reading and
circulation, and 616 are more particularly adapted for reference,
having been donated to the Library at sundry times. By the Treas-
urer's report it appears that $228-16 has been expended for books ;
to this amount should be added the sum of about $70 upon orders
drawn but not paid at the time the report was made, making a total
of $298-16.
The other principal expenses for the year have been the Catalogue,
(the sales of which vwill in time, make full reimbursement), the re-
binding of books, and the compensation of the Librarian. For the
payment of the Librarian and the rebinding of books, (which last
item has amounted, the last year to $90-28,) it may be safe to rely
upon subscriptions and fines. But to obtain the proper yearly
supplies of books, the institution must look to other sources. Du-
ring the past year the Library has received an appropriation of $50
from the city Treasury. If the Library is to be properly sustained,
and made to answer at all the purposes for which it was established,
an appropriation of at least $300 a year must be made for some
years, by the city government, for its benefit. The expected gifts
of money from certain persons w'tio have intimated their purpose of
making bestowments upon the Library, have not yet been received,
and it is a matter of uncertainty when they will be. Until they be
received, the Library must look for maintenance in respect of the
supply of books to the city government that brought it into existence.
In every other city, the Public Library is the object of liberal an-
nual appropriations, shall it be an exception in this ?

The following are some of the principal donations of books du-
ring the past year:

port, 1857 ; 1 Maine Agricultural Report, 1857 ; 1 Maine Agricul-
tural Reports 1856 ; 6 vols., New Hampshire Agricultural Report,
