The Joint Standing Committee on Finance, in conformity witb
the requirements of the Ordinance prescribing their duties, " es-
tablishing a system of accountability in the expenditures of the
city," submit to the City Council their Annual Report of the Re-
ceipts and Expenditures of the financial year, ending February 1,
1862.
We have examined the Treasurer's books, and those of the City
Clerk, and find that all payments therein recorded are duly authen-
ticated with appropriate vouchers, and that the several items, foot-
ings and balances are correctly cast, and stated, and that the 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.

NINTH ANNUAL REPORT
COMMITTEE ON THE CITY FARM.
To His Honor the Mayor, and the Board of Aldermen of the City of
Concord :
The undersigned, Joint Standing Committee on the City Farm,
having attended to the duty of taking an inventory of the proper-
ty of the Farm, respectfully submit the following Ninth Annual
Report :
Appraised value of farm and buildings in 1861, $8,000 00
Appraised value of personal property in 1861, 2.430 91
Total, $10,430 91
Appraised value of farm and buildings in 1862, $8,000 00
Appraised value of personal pi'operty in 1862, 2.537 39
Total, $10,537,39
Number of paupers at the farm Feb. 1st, 1862, 23
Average number for the year, 23
Whole number for the year, 35
Number lodged one night or more, 75
Died, 4
Regarding the management and husbandry of the farm your
Committee are unanimous in the opinion that it is well managed.
The prudent management of the household affairs, and the content-
ment, and comfort of the family reflect much credit on the Superin-
tendent and Matron, Mr. and Mrs. Grilman. Quite a large proportion
of the family are aged persons and children, consequently the
88
Overseer and Matron are almost destitute of help, there being but
one man capable of performing any labor on the farm, the overseer
was obliged to hire help a large portion of the time the past sea-
son. The overseer has performed much extra labor the past sea-
son in relaying with new pipe the Aqueduct to the house and barn,
and in rubbling the bank of the river, having drawn about one
hundred and seventy-five yards of rubble, still much more is need-
ed.

CHIEF ENGINEER'S REPORT.
To His Honor ihe Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the City of
Concord :
\ In accordance with the requirements of the Ordinance of the
city, my report for the Financial year ending Feb. 1st, 1862, is
herewith presented:
The Department has been called out during the year eleven
times, as follows :
March 4, 1861. — House and Barn of Isaac Silver, loss $600 ;
partially insured. This was undoubtedly the work of an incendiary,
as the house was unoccupied.
June 26. — Fire in Union Block. Damage to stock and build-
ing about $300. Insured.
August 20. — In the attic of Hutchins' Block, recently occupied
as the printing office of the Democratic Standard ; damage by fire
and water about $2,500.
Same night. — Slight fire at the shop of Robinson & Brothers.
Damage $100. Insured.
September 10. — Alarm caused by burning brush at Blossom
Hill Cemetery.
Same day. — At Concord and Northern Railroad Car Houses :
loss. Northern R. R., $12,000 ; insured $9,000. Concord R. R.,
loss $29,000 ; insured $22,000.
September 27. — At store of James M. Blake ; damage to build-
ing and stock $600. Insured $350.
October 4. — At corner of Main and Centre streets, destroying
the dwelling house and ofllice of Dr. C. P. Gage, Marble Work of
Day & Co., and the Merrimack House. Loss $8,000. Insured
$2,400.
October 7. — False alarm.
November 5. — Load of hay on Cross street. Incendiary.
November 14. — At J. R. Hill's Harness 3Ianufacturing Estab-
lishment, which was totally destroyed ; the dwelling houses of
Chase Plill and Benjamin Damon, the shoe shop of Joseph French,
Gas office, shop of Chase Hill, occupied by himself as a leather
store and by Mrs. M. M. Smith, Millinery. Loss $45,000. Insured
$38,100.
It will be seen by the above account that the city has been
particularly unfortunate during the past year. Most of the build-
ings destroyed have been in the compact part of the city, the larg-
er portion old wooden structures, and standing closely together,
it is a matter of wonder that the loss has not been still greater,
and that the fires have been confined to as small limits as they
were.
In May last, in obedience to a resolution of the City Council, I
procured four hundred feet of double riveted leather Hose, which
was equally divided between engines No. 2, and No. 3.
At a meeting of the City Council in November last, an ordinance
was passed authorizing the Mayor and myself to purchase a steam
fire engine, procure one thousand feet of hose, and a suitable hose
carriage, extend the iron pipes of the Northern and Concord Kail-
roads to Main street, and build a resevoir on Main near Warren
street, &c. The engine and hose have been contracted for and
win be ready early in the month of March.
The recent action of the City Government would seem to indi-
cate an entire change in the Department, at no distant day, sub-
stituting in the compact portion of the city steamers, in place of the
hand engines now in use. In orcjer to carry out completely this
change a considerable expenditure of money will be required, both
for the purchase of engines and their apparatus and for the erec-
tion of suitable buildings for the machines, and stable for horses,
&c., if they are to be run by horses. It is a matter by no means
clear to my mind which would be the cheapest and best to run
even steamers by men or horses, as they are manufactured service-
able for either method.
I must again call the attention of the city government to the subject
of supplying the thickly settled section of the city with water, for
notwithstanding all that has been done in that direction we are
still very deficient in our supplies.
During the last year two Reservoirs were constructed by the
committee appointed for that purpose ; one at the corner of Cen-
tre and Union streets, which from the time of its completion last
fall has been always full and will undoubtedly remain so, the other
on Washington street near Walnut street, supplied from a running
brook and now well filled, but I am apprehensive may possibly
have to be cemented to make it tight in dry seasons.
The Chief Engineer is under renewed obligations to the Board
of Assistant Engineers for their cordial co-operation at all times
with him and for the ready and effective manner in which they
have performed their duties during the past year.
The several companies connected with the Department are in
good condition with full ranks, and are entitled to great credit
for their promptness and efficiency.
Having been connected with the Fire Department of this city
for more than thirty years, and with the Engineer branch nearly
all the time since its organization, I think the time has now ar-
rived when I should retire from the head of the Department, and
after thanking the City Council for the many acts of kindness and
confidence they have shown me, would respectfully say that I do
not consider myself a candidate for re-appointment to that respon-
sible office.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

To the City Coimcil of the City of Concord :
The Cemetery Committee respectfully present this their
SECOND ANNUAL REPORT.
The Committee have sold since the date of their last Report,
Feb. 6, 1861, twenty-three lots for the sum of $480.70, all of
which has been paid into the treasury of the City.
The receipts and expenditures of the Committee from Feb. 6,
1861, to Feb. 19, 1862, have been as follows, viz :

During the past year considerable labor has been expended up-
on the improvement and extension of avenues and walks. The
culvert under Maple Avenue has been enlarged and relaid. North
Avenue has been graded and prepared for use by carriages and
many new foot paths have been made in different parts of the
grounds. The forests have mostly been cleared of dead brush
and leaves and large quantities of worthless bushes have been
removed from them. The sum of forty-five dollars and seventeen
cents has been expended in improving and preparing for occu-
pancy a specimen lot, of neat and chaste design, but of moderate
cost. This will be disposed of, when wanted, for its cost and
interest of its appraisal and improvements, the object had in view
by the Committee of securing such a lot to the Cemetery grounds,
having been attained. Several important private improvements
have been commenced by the proprietors of lots the year past,
and a portion of them have teen comjpleted.
The limited amount of means at the Committee's disposal has
not warranted the undertaking of any very extensive improve-
ments by them during that period. Several however, of some
magnitude, should be made at the earliest day practicable. The
front stone wall, on State street, should be continued on Eumford
street, for the protection of the grounds from vagrant cattle and
horses strolling in that vicinity. As this exposure arises from the
extension of the last named street, the erection of this wall may
belong more properly to the City of Concord than to this Com-
mittee. The extension of the walls at Wood's Brook culvert and
the changing of the street grades at and near that point, under the
direction of Mayor Humphrey, has been an important service, not
only to the public generally, but to all in particular having occa-
sion to visit this Cemetery. The present fence upon the North
side of the Cemetery is a temporary one and should be replaced
by a permanent wall. It is hoped that this may be done during
the coming year.
The Committee, who, some years since made purchase of this
Cemetery, were restricted by the City Council to the buying of a
tract of land not exceeding thirty acres in extent. They were
compelled, therefore, to forego the purchase of about one and a
half acres of excellent land notching into the present Cemetery
grounds at the South West corner, and rendering the boundary
lines unsightly and inconvenient. This tract can still be had for
about two hundred and twenty-five dollars and its purchase is
respectfully commended to the favorable consideration of the City
Council, not so much for the additional land it would secure, as
for the saving it would insure in fencing and for the great|improve-
ment in shape of that part of the Cemetery.
J. B. WALKER, for the Committee.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY,
FOR THE YEAR ENDING JANUARY 31, 1862.
To the Citij Council of the City of Concord :
lu accordance witli the ordinance requiring an annual state-
ment of the condition of the Public Library, from the Trustees,
the undersigned respectfully present the following report for the
year ending January 31, 1862 :
The number of volumes belonging to the Library, January 31,
1861, was 3,225. Dui'ing the past year 370 volumes have been
added by purchase and 10 by donation ; making the whole number
3,605, of which number 2,976 volumes are intended for circula-
tion and are subject to the calls of subscribers. Of the remain-
der, 624 volumes are permanently retained in the Library for
purposes of reference, and 5, which have not been on the shelves
for more than a year, are considered lost. The small amount of
losses since the organization of the Library is the best evidence of
the care and vigilance of the Librarian. It is not known that any
losses have occurred during the past year. A few books were not
in place at the time of the annual examination, but they will prob-
ably be returned or paid for by those to whom they are charo-ed.
The number of subscribers on the books of the Librarian for the
past year has been four hundred fifty-three.
The accompanying report of the Treasurer will show the receipts
and expenditures on account of the Library during the year.
The importance of our Library as an institution for the diffu-
sion of intelligence, though admitted by all, is probably underra-
ted by many. That it may accomplish its object tolerably well it
needs constant enlargement. At the present time when the
resources of the nation are taxed for the suppression of a rebel-
lion whose growth to gigantic proportions was rendered possible
only by the ignorance of those who were drawn into it by wily
traitors, there would seem to be no need of argument to show that
all considerations of true economy, patriotism, and philanthropy
commend the Library to your generous support.
