Your Committee are well aware that there are other improve-
ments which are necessary to be made to the grounds, all of
which it is very desirable should be properly and judiciously car-
ried out. And they would most respectfully request any of our
citizens who feel an interest in beautifying the grounds, to make
such suggestions as they may deem proper. And as it will be
necessary to have funds to successfully prosecute the work, your
Committee hope that the citizens will generously support the en-
terprise by purchasing lots, and promptly paying for the same.

having attended to the property of the Farm, respectfully submit
the following Twelfth Annual Report :

Your Committee were much pleased with the appearance at the
Farm, both in doors and out. The inmates are most of them
quite old or very young, but both old and young looked neat and
comfortable and appeared to enjoy themselves under the care of
their mild but stern Matron, and we feet confident that the Farm
has never been more judiciously managed than it has the past year
by the Superintendent and Matron, Mr. and Mrs. Gilman.
The inventory is somewhat larger than it was last year, which ig
accounted for from the fact that hay and all kinds of grain and
stock are much higher than in former years.

CHIEF ENGINEER'S REPOM
To His Honor the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the City of

Notwithstanding what has already been done in the supply of
water and apparatus, still we have not kept pace with the growth
of the city, and appropriations are still needed for the supply of
reservoirs. No part of the main village should be without reser-
voirs within one thousand feet of each other. It is taxing the ca-
pacity of the Steamer (which is one of the first class engines) too
37
much to attempt to play two streams more than that distance and
the hand engines more than five or six hundred feet, on level
ground. The high ground west of Spring street, now nearly cov-
ered with elegant and costly houses, is the most deficient of any
part of the city. This fact has been forcibly brought to our mind
by the recent fires on Liberty street, and at the beautiful residence
of George Clough, Esq. The water for the first being forced all
the way up hill, at least 1.000 feet, and for the latter more than
2.000 feet. There are also other localities where reservoirs are
very much needed. We never can be well supplied with water un-
til means are taken to bring it from some place outside of the Cen-
tre village. The water from Little Pond, so called, if brought
here in pipes of the proper capacity, being elevated so high above
the level of the streets, would possess nearly force enough for the
extinguishment of fires almost without the use of engines. The
increased rate of insurance from this cause alone, is a matter of
no small consequence to our citizens.
We are also in need of. new hose. Much of what we have on
hand has been in use from ten to twenty years, and has become
rotten or worn out, and is not safe ; always liable to give out when
we most need it.
The Steamer purchased some two years since, and now in use,
has satisfied every one of the utility and economy of its purchase,
and it is the opinion of the Board of Engineers, that at no dis-
tant day, perhaps the present year, another Steamer of the 2d class,
much smaller and lighter than the " Governor Hi 1," should be pro-
cured.
The members of the several Fire Companies have been very
prompt and efficient during the past year. The only rivalship
among them being which should be first at a fire, and most effi-
cient when there.
The utmost harmony prevails throughout the entire Department,
and at no time for the last twenty yeai-s have they been more de-
serving of the confidence of the community than at the present
time.
The Board of Assistant Engineers have been assiduous in their
endeavors to make the duties of the Chief Engineer as light and
pleasant as possible, for which they will receive my most sincere
thanks.
38
The Fire Police, recently organized in this City is a great aux-
iliary to the present Fire Department, the need of which has long
been experienced.
Respectfully submitted,
TRUE OSGOOD, Chief Engineer.

REPORT OF THE CITY MARSHAL.
City Maksiial's Office, )
Concord, January 31, 1865. )
To Eis Honor the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen of the City
of Concord ;
At the close of another municipal year I have the honor to submit the
annexed report in relation to the Police Department of the City of Concord,
for the year ending January 31, 1865.
Whole number of arrests made during the year were 3-52 — to wit :
Horse stealing, 1
Receiving stolen property, 1
Adultery, 1
Fornication 1

House of ill fame, 1
Selling liquor, 1
Assault with intent to kill, 1
Disorderly house 5
Larceny from the person, 4
Rude and disorderly conduct, <■ 24
Noise, brawl and tumult 22
Keeping saloon open after 10 o'clock 8
Common drunkards 18
Stubbornness and disobedience, 20
For having counterfeit monev, 7
Injury done to personal property 10
For not paying fare on cars, 19
Larceny, 23
Assault and Battery, 36
Intoxication, 65

352
Of the above cases, 1 68 were arraigned before the police court, and were
discharged, convicted or bound over to apaear at the next trial term of the
Supreme Judicial Court for the following offences, to wit :
Horse stealing, 1
Receiving stolen property, 1
Adultery, 1
Fornication 1
Bastardy 3

44

168
The above cases were disposed of in the following manner by the police
court :
Sentenced to pay fines, 117

Sentenced to the House of Reformation 7
Sentenced to the Jail, 8
Discharged 2
Dismissed or nol prossed, 9
Ordered to recognize to appear at the Supreme Judicial Court, 19
168
It will be seen by the above, that the year just closed has been one of labor
and toil for the officers of the city, and with the limited number of officers
under pay there has been a large amount of work for me to attend to. The
prevailing crime in this as in all other places, for the last year, is that of in-
temperance, and more arrests are made for that offence than any other,
while the opportunity to purchase strong drink has been so abundant. It is
an undeniable fact that the use of intoxicating liquors is the cause of much
of the crime and suffering in our midst. We have Avhat are called temper-
ance men among us, but they are not willing to go forth and battle for the
suppression of this great evil by publicly lending their aid and influence to
the officers in the prosecution of cases, but when that assistance is given the
officer, rumsellers will leave the traffic and take up some honest calling.
The juvenile portion of the community furnish a large amount of police
labor. Complaints are made almost daily against small children charging
them with the commission of offences. To dispose of such cases is no easy
matter. A night in the lock up generally suffices for the punishment of such
youthful offenders for a time. A want of parental care and discipline is one
great reason why such complaints are so numerous. Children who are al-
lowed to absent themselves from school, and spend their time in roaming
about the streets or loitering in public places can hardly be expected to do
otherwise than evil. Much more ought to be said but space will not allow it.
Respectfully submitted,
J. L. PICKERING, City Marshal.
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
The Trustees of the Public Library, in Concord, would respect-
fully submit the following
ANNUAL REPORT :
Notwithstanding the excitement occasioned by the great national
struggle which has been going on during the past year, the Library
has attracted to the enjoyment of its benefits "more readers than in
any previous year of its existence.
It now contains four thousand volumes. The addition by pur-
chase during the year just closed has been two hundred and thirty-
nine volumes, and by donation thirty-four volumes, which were re-
ceived from the following persons : From Hon. E. II. Rollins,
nine vols, public documents, and twenty-nine vols, of the Con-
gressional Globe ; from Mrs. J. A. Eames, two vols.
The number of subscribers has been seven hundred and twenty-
three, being an increase of fifty-four on that of the previous year.
The financial condition of this institution will appear more fully
on reference to the report of the Treasurer, and is good ; but the
Trustees are deeply sensible that the Library accomplishes but
little good in comparison with what it would with larger means at
its disposal. The City Government has continued to foster this
educational influence by the exercise of a wise liberality.
When the great burdens now resting on our city shall cease to
tax so heavily its resources, it is hoped that larger appropriations
can be made, and the Library come to be, at no distant day, a
fountain from which shall flow forth elevating, enlightening and re-
fining influences among all classes of our citizens — an institution
to which they shall point with pride and gratitude forever.
The sum of one hundred and seventy- five dollars is now invested
in catalogues which remain unsold. Each subscriber should own
a catalogue, and not use a borrowed one, as is at present done by
40
many ; and it is suggested that every friend or subscriber would
do a commendable act by purchasing a catalogue, and thus fur-
nishing that large sum of money to be invested in new books which
is 'now lying idle in the catalogues.
