FOURTEENTH  ANNUAL  REPORT 


COMMITTEE  ON  THE  CITY  FARM. 


To  His   Honor   the  Mayor  and  the    City    Council  of  the    City   of 
Concord  ; 

The  undersigned,  Joint  Standing  Committee  on  the  City  Farm, 
having  attended  to  the  duty  assigned  them  of  taking  an  inventory 
of  the  property  at  the  Farm,  respectfully  submit  the  following 
Fourteenth  Annual  Report : 

Appraised  value  farm  and  buildings  1866,  $8,000  00 

Appraised  value  of  personal  property  in  1866,  4,256  85 

Total,  Sl2,256  85 

Appraised  value  of  farm  and  buildings,  1867,  $9,000  00 
Appraised  value  of  personal  property,  1867,      3,628  45 


Total  of  1867,  $12,628  45 

Total  of  1866,  12,256  85 

Increase  in  valuation  past  year,  $371  60 

Number  of  paupers  at  the  Farm  Feb.  1,  1867,               16 

Whole  number  for  the  year,  44 

Average  number  for  the  year,  15 

Number  lodged  one  night  or  more,  49 

Died,  1 

Boarding  criminals,  number  of  days,  329 
Number  of  criminals  sentenced  House  of  Correction,       9 

Your  Committee  are  unanimous  in  the  opinion  that  the  Farm 
is  well  managed;  and  the  prudent  management  of  the  household 
affairs  reflects  much  credit  on  the  Superintendent  and  Matron,  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Gilman.  Owing  to  the  lighter  hay  crop  last  season  than 
usual  the  stock  has  been  reduced  some  on  the  Farm  which  makes 


87 

the  personal  property  somewhat  lower  than  last  year,  but  the  rise 
in  value  on  real  estate  and  the  stone  quarries  in  this  vicinity  more 
than  balances  the  deficit.  For  this  reason  your  Committee  have 
seen  fit  to  raise  the  valuation  of  the  Farm.  During  the  year  past 
the  Superintendent  has  made  several  improvements  on  the  build- 
ings painting  them,  &c.,  which  he  has  paid  for  ofi"  the  Farm. 
He  has  also  laid  out  on  the  highway  the  sum  of  $92,25  for  which 
he  has  also  paid  from  the  Farm  and  It  should  stand  to  his  credit. 
Your  Committee  do  not  feel  to  close  their  report  without  speaking, 
of  the  stone  quarries  on  the  Farm.  They  should  be  looked  after 
more  strictly  than  they  have  been.  There  has  been  much  lawless 
trespassing  of  late  in  getting  stone  ofiP  the  Farm  which  should  be 
stopped  until  the  parties  enter  into  a  written  agreement  with  the 
city  authorities  to  get  stone  from  the  various  quarries  on  the  Farm. 
The  city  gets  but  V(^f'y  little  for  the  stone  takeii  from  the  quarries. 
They  should  have  as  much  as  other  people  have  in  this  vicinity  for 
the  same  quality  of  stone.  As  a  whole,  every  thing  else  on  the 
premises  looks  well  for  the  city. 

Kespectfully  submitted,

Nov.  29.  Fire  at  Penacook  mills,  Fisherville,  Loss,  $40,000. 
Fully  insured. 

Jan.  23,  1867.  Fire  at  the  Widow  Merrill  house,  Main  street. 
Damage,  $2,500.00.     Insured,  $1,815.00. 

There  has  been  purchased  during  the  past  year  one  second-class 
steam  fire  engine,  a  hose  carriage,  and  nine  hundred  and  fifty  feet 


43 

of  engine  hose,  wliicli  are  now  temporarily  located  at  the  engine 
house  on  Warren  street. 

There  has  been  one  reservoir  built  during  the  past  year  on 
South  street. 

I  would  again  call  the  attention  of  the  City  Council  to  the  fact 
that  we  are  still  very  deficient  in  water,  and  repeat  what  I  said  in 
my  last  annual  Report  in  relation  to  that  matter. 

The  engine  house,  &c.,  on  Warren  street  is  entirely  unfit  for  the 
purposes  for  which  it  is  used,  and  a  new  one  is  imperatively 
demanded,  suitable  for  the  accommodation  of  the  steamers.  Con- 
siderable feeling  has  been  and  still  is  manifest  by  our  citizens  as 
to  a  suitable  location.  Any  central  location  where  there  is  room 
enough,  is  all  that  is  desired,  as  we  can  reach  any  part  of  the  main 
village  while  the  engines  are  being  heated  up,  about  from  seven  to 
ten  minutes  being  necessary  for  that  purpose.  It  would  certainly 
be  desirable  to  have  the  Fire  Department  by  itself,  if  it  can  be 
without  incurring  any  considerable  additional  expense. 

There  has  been  added  to  the  Department  an  Eagine  company 
(Steamer  Kearsarge)  of  twelve  men,  and  a  Hydrant  and  Hose 
company  of  ten  men,  composed  of  men,  at  the  Northern  Railroad 
shops,  to  use  the  force  pump  in  that  locality,  and  to  act  in  union 
with  Hydrant  and  Hose  No.  1. 

Early  in  May  of  last  year,  the  Committee  of  the  Fire  Depart- 
ment of  the  City  Council,  and  myself,  A.  B.  Holt  and  John  M. 
Hill,  of  the  Board  of  Engineers,  were  instructed  to  examine  into 
the  situation  and  wants  of  the  Fire  Department  of  the  main  village. 
After  due  consideration,  a  report  was  made,  which  is  now  on  file 
in  the  office  of  the  City  Clerk.  Thcs  recommendations  of  the  Com- 
mittee since  that  report  have  been  adopted  in  part,  two  new  com- 
panies having  been  formed,  but  no  reduction  in  any  branch  of  the 
force  has  been  made. 

Having  bee>).  connected  with  the  Concord  Fire  Department  for 
a  period  of  thirty-six  years,  and  with  the  Board  of  Engineers  nearly 
the  whole  time  since  its  organization,  I  think  it  is  time  that  I 
should  retire,  and  am  therefore  not  a  candidate  for  re-appointment 
to  the  position  which  I  now  hold. 

I  am  under  renewed  obligation  to  the  Board  of  Engineers  for 
their  efficient  aid  during  the  past  year,  and  to  the  members  of  the 
several  Fire  Companies  for  the  promptness  with  which  they  have 


44 

performed  their  respective  duties,  sometimes  under  very  trying 
circumstances.  And  I  would  here  say  to  all,  both  firemen  and 
citizens,  that  if  I  have  done  anything  as  Engineer  that  may  have 
seemed  harsh  or  unkind,  I  most  sincerely  regret  it,  and  trust  it 
will  be  put  down  as  an  error  of  judgment  rather  than  a  want  of 
courtesy  on  my  part.  In  taking  leave  of  the  Department  in  an 
official  capacity,  I  beg  to  assure  you  that  I  shall  look  back  with 
pleasure  to  the  many  pleasant  and  social  meetings  which  we  have 
had  together,  and  shall  still  feel  a  deep  interest  in  the  efficiency  of 
that  Department  with  which  I  have  been  connected  for  the  greater 
portion  of  my  life,  and  that  whatever  I  may  be  able  to  do  here- 
after for  its  efficiency  will  be  done  most  cheerfully. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

TRUE  OSGOOD,   Chief  Engineer.

Total  Receipts  from  sale  of  lots, $6,228,49 

•This  amount  has  been  expended  partly  in  payments  made  from 
time  to  time  upon  the  notes  given  for  the  cemetery  grounds  and 
partly  for  their  laying  out  and  improvement,  with  the  exception  of 
one  hundred  and  two  dollars  and  seventy-three  cents,  of  which  sum 
sixty  dollars  is  now  in  the  hands  of  the  Superintendent  of  the 
Cemetery  and  the  balance  is  in  the  city  treasury,  subject  to  the 
draft  of  the  Committee. 

The  amount  now  due  on  notes  given  by  the  city  for  the  purchase 
of  the  Cemetery,  is  thirty-nine  hundred  and  sixty-five  dollars, 
(3.965).  As  one-half  of  the  receipts  from  the  sale  of  lots  is  an- 
nually appropriated  to  the  payment  of  the  interest  and  principal  of 
this  debt,  it  is  hoped  that  its  entire  liquidation  may  be  reached  at 
a  day  not  far  distant. 

During  the  past  year,  important  improvements  have  been  made 
by  the  Committee  upon  the  paths  and  grounds  of  the  Cemetery. 
Lots,  to  a  considerable  number,  have  also  been  graded,  enclosed 
and  embellished  by  their  proprietors.

Second  Annual  Report  of  the  West  Concord  Cemetery 
Committee. 


To  the  City  Council  of  the  City  of  Concord  : 

Your  Committee  respectfully  submit  the  following  Report  of  the 
receipts  and  expenditures  of  said  Committee  for  the  year  ending 
January  31,  1867. 

RECIEPTS.

$4.50 

Balance  in  hands  of  Committee,  January  31,  1867, $15,79 

Your  Committee  are  of  opinion  that  further  improvements  should 
be  made  during  the  coming  season,  if  we  would  save  those  already 
made,  which  cannot  be  done  with  the  limited  means  now  in  their 
possession.  They  also  deem  it  essential  that  the  citizens  in  that 
portion  of  the  city  should  manifest  more  interest  in  regard  to  this 
matter  than  they  have  hitherto  done,  in  order  to  secure  the  com- 
pletion of  the  work.

REPORT  OF  THE  POLICE  JUSTICE. 


To  His  Honor  the  Mayor  and  the  Board   of  Aldermen  of  the  City 
of  Concord  : 

The  Fourteenth  Annual  Report  is  herewith  submitted  by  the 
Police  Justice,  before  whom  all  the  business  of  the  Police  Court 
has  been  transacted  during  the  financial  year  ending  with  the  date 
hereof. 

The  whole  number  of  civil  actions  entered  in  the  Police  Court 
during  said  year  is  thirteen. 

The  whole  number  of  arraignments  before  the  Police  Court  dur- 
ing said  year  for  alleged  criminal  ofienses  is  one  hundred  and  six- 
ty-nine.

REPORT  OF  THE  TRUSTEES  OF  THE  PUBLIC  LIBRARY. 


To  the  City  Council  of  the  City  of  Concord : 

The  undersigned  Trustees  of  the  Public  Library  of  the  City  of 
Concord,  have  the  satisfaction  of  reporting  the  continued  prosperity 
of  the  institution.  Every  year  adds  to  the  favorable  estimation  in 
which  it  is  held  by  the  community.  But  its  capacity  for  good  is 
much  crippled  by  its  lack  of  financial  means.  It  has  not  the  money 
wherewith  to  place  upon  its  shelves  many  volumes,  yearly,  that 
ought  to  be  found  there.  We  must  again  urge,  as  it  has  been  re- 
peatedly urged  in  former  reports,  that  the  appropriation  for  the  City 
Library  be  increased. 

During  the  past  year,  there  have  been  added  to  the  Library  one 
hundred  and  seventy-four  volumes  by  purchase,  and  thirty-tiuo  by 
donation.  The  names  of  the  donors  and  the  number  of  volumes 
contributed  by  each,  are  as  follows  :  Hon.  George  Gr.  Fogg,  7 ; 
Hon.  Edward  H.  Rollins,  6  ;  N.  H.  Historical  Society,  5  ;  Adj't 
Gen.  Natt.  Head,  3 ;  Capt.  William  F.  Goodwin,  1  ;  Adj't  Gen. 
N.  B.  Baker,  of  Iowa,  2;  Concord  Reading  Class,  2;  Mrs.  J.  A. 
Eames,  2  ;  E.  C,  Eastman,  1  ;  Dr.  J.  H.  Gallinger,  1  ;  Gen. 
Robert  Patterson,  2.  Tiue^ity- eight  worn-out  volumes  have  also 
been  replaced  by  new  ones.  The  number  of  subscribers,  during 
the  year,   has  been  six  hundred  and  forty -nine. 

The  accompanying  report  of  the  Treasurer  shows  the  financial 
condition  of  the  institution.
